I believe that her house stood in what is now a courtyard next to the Clough House; in other words, it was at the base of the present stairway leading up to the church from the Paul Revere Mall. This 1789 letter seems to further confirm what J.L. said in his 2007 posting -- that by 1790, people were commonly referring to Christ Church as the "North Church".Charles Bahnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28102666.post-24333986953609405102010-11-13T09:29:35.018-05:002010-11-13T09:29:35.018-05:00What great events.
