Horace N. Wilson House
When Thomas Spaulding died in 1849, the land on which this house sets was part of the ancestral Spaulding farm. Thomas's heirs deeded the southern portion on both sides of the street to a grandson, Thomas Simonds. The remaining land to the north was deeded to Horace N. Wilson, son of Daniel Wilson (of N. Billerica Mills). Horace had married Sybil Spaulding, Thomas's granddaughter via Deacon Edward Spaulding. On the 1853 Map, the house is shown as Horace N. Wilson, and in 1859, he deeded the remainder of the farm to his father, Daniel. The house lacks the symmetry, but is comparable in size to the house Daniel had built in 1848. The best inference at present is that Horace built this house with the intention of settling across the street from his sister-in-law Martha Simonds, but ended up moving further west to Carlisle, just one street over.
Daniel Wilson's administrator sold to Corliss, who sold to Timothy Sullivan in 1865 with 80 acres west of the road. Prior to 1875, Timothy passed the land to Jeremiah Sullivan, likely a relative. Jeremiah occupied it until the second quarter of the 20th century, and was remembered as a colorful contributor to Town Meeting.Later, Larsen who had a chicken farm, sold to Ricca.
It should be noted that the 1831 clearly shows a marked building at this location, so it may be possible this should be a Spaulding house, not a Wilson one.
