Sprague's Neck

The land, beginning at a point near what is now known as Sprague's Wharf, the boundary ran along the shore to Blue-fish River, then up the river to the neighborhood of John Alden (1622-1701)'s thence by land of Jacob Smith to meet a line which ran westaward by the sites of the village schoolhouse and the Methodist Church to the house of Daniel Glass. The two farms were divided by the road now called Harrison Street.
