Another interesting reference to land owned in Oxford by Lieut. John Griffin is an old deed to the Perry property on Governor's Hill Road, which reads as follows: " ... I, Emma Lounsbury of the Town of Oxford, County of New Haven and State of Connecticut, for the consideration of one dollar and other valuable considerations received to my full satisfaction of Raymond J. Perry of the Town of Oxford, aforesaid, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said Raymond J. Perry, one certaine piece of land lying in that part of Oxford called Governor's Hill, containing three acres more or less bounded on all three sides by land of Mrs. Mary Ann Perry, widow of the late Charles Perry, and on the south side by highway called Tim Drake Roade, it being the same piece which was deeded to me by my mother Mary C. Lounsbury, which was deeded to her by my father Dr. John Lounsbury, which he bought of James McEwen and purchased by him from Russell Hawkins and his daughter Mrs. Sarah Candee, widow of Robert Candee of Naugatuck, Connecticut; and was formerly owned by Lieutenant John Griffin, who built a small house on it soon after the Revolutionary War, which stood over one hundred years, and is now dissolved, the cellar being there yet . ." http://www.oxfordpast.com/hp75.html.
