It could also be that Nathaniel Terry and Nathan Strong convinced several of their Madison County neighbors to contribute to the Asylum as simply a worthy cause. In any event, in 1844 American Asylum of Hartford became the owner of “Boardman Mills”, including the NW/4 of Section 25, until it was all sold to Richard Lipscomb in 1846. Even then, Richard took out a mortgage on the land with American Asylum, indicating a continued interest in supporting the institution - or, perhaps it was merely a convenient “buyback” mortgage for seller financing. Richard's estate transferred the land to Sarah Lipscomb (his widow) in 1856, well after his death in 1847 (date per his tombstone in the Lipscomb Cemetery, 61-2). The transactions between the Lipscomb family and the American Asylum of Hartford are show below: 16 - (2314)
