OLD HOMES IN STONINGTON CT, by Grace Denison Wheeler, page 219, 220.
    Scattered about this part of our town were the homes of many of the Breed family and it is still called Breedtown.
    The stone near the side doorstep of Mr. Henry Breed's house was one of the stones which Mr. John Breed had in his mill for tanning leather, when he lived a few rods west of this house, with his wife, who was the daughter of Deacon Gershom Palmer, whom he married in 1690.
    He came to Stonington and bought land of Dea. Gershom Palmer and married his daughter Mercy.
    At their graves in Wequetequock, we read, "In memory of a pious pair, this carved stone was erected here, viz, Mr. John Breed and his wife Mercy, who lived together in ye marriage state in a most religious manner about 64 years and then deceased, leaving numerous offspring. He in 1751 about ninety years of age and she in 1772 about 83 years. Erected in the year 1772 by six of their children then living.
        Behold the righteous live long on the earth,
        And in old age resign their breath,
        They and their offspring here are blessed:
        When done with life they go to rest."

    He established himself as a leather tanner in Stonington and one of the stones which he used in his mill may still be seen near the side door step of the home of Mr. Henry Breed. His old mansion, built in 1689, large, square and painted white was said to have rooms so large that 51 yards of carpet was required to cover the floor.
