    "The senior Rolfe [father of Rebecca] had given to Mr. Cutter an acre of land, but without any legal conveyance of the same, on which he, being a carpenter, had built a house. ... In 1685 the junior John Rolfe [brother of Rebecca], 'in consideration that my honored father John Rolfe, late of Cambridge, deceased, did in his lifetime given unto my loving brother-in-law William Cutter, of the same town, carpenter, one small piece of land at the west corner of his homestead to set a house on', etc., gives to said Cutter four acres of land a share in the mill privilege. William Cutter ultimately acquired, by purchase, nearly all the original holdings of the Rolfe family in Menotomy."
