William Steeple Davis and his parents shared the house on King Street with his maternal grandfather, Captain William Smith Hubbard, and his grandmother, Jane C.

The biography of this fiercely determined woman, In Her Own Name, by Fredrica Wachsberger, is based on diaries and letters in the Oysterponds Historical Society archive.
