    Notes 
    • Elisha Kirby left his Upper Houses farm to keep the "Washington Hotel, " which occupies the site of the homestead of Hon. Jabez Hamlin on the S. W. corner of Washington and Main streets. The Washington Hotel Company was organized in 1812 by a number of citizens who erected the spacious mansion, where General Lafayette was entertained in 1825 by Elisha Kirby. In 1835 it became the property of the Rev. Samuel F. Jarvis, D. D., LL. D. Later it became the Berkeley Divinity School of the Episcopal church, and was the home of Bishop John Williams for forty years. Mr. Kirby removed to Guilford, then New Haven.
