Sarah Phipps, b. October 19, 1712 September 12, 2002

1760;  As her portion of divided estates of her father she received 100 acres, including the farm and carriage houses; also that part called the dike, and a portion of what is now called Cambridgeport.  The carriage house was removed to Cambridgeport and remodelled into a comfortable dwelling, and occupied by Mrs. Bordman until her death.  This and her other properties went to son Andrew on her death.
In 1809 the part of Phipps Farm at Cambridgeport, known as the Bordman Farm, consisted of 8 - 10 acres, highly cultivated with a splendid apple orchard of pumpkin sweeting, greening, pearmain, russet, wine, rosy cheek, nonsuch etc., gooseberries, and currants.  Ornamental shrubs of lilac, sweetbriar, primrose, etc.  Two large willow trees.  The farm house (the old carriage house) was large and airy and at that time was the only building on the Point.  At the rear of the house stood a thickly shaded wood covering many acres on what was later named Craigie Road extending as far as the colleges. The farm house was later destroyed by fire.  (200 Years Ago, or, A Brief History of Cambridgeport and East Cambridge)
