At the time of the battles of Lexington and Concord, his sister, Olive Stow, and her two children lived in the adjacent property to the east, now known as the Stow-Hardy House.

[1] The home left the Jones family in 1838, from which point it had four owners prior to its sale to James Carty in 1891.

[1] Aleck and Anna Norwalk owned it when the Minute Man National Historic Park was created in 1959.

Eminent domain meant the government was authorized to take ownership of all of the land within the park, although this property was not transferred until 1976.

After the death of her husband, Anna was paid $400,000 for the property, but was allowed to live in the house, with her children, for the next 25 years.
