  Notes	https://archive.org/stream/agenealogyrunne00runngoog/agenealogyrunne00runngoog_djvu.txt Deed and Will from the Essex Records in Salem, Mass. " Dec. 26, 1710. John Bolnton to Samuel Runels in Bradford, Husbandman, in consideration of £7, part paid and part secured by bill, a certain piece of land lying in the township of Bradford, 20 acres as it is bounded, be it more or less ; bounded on the N. E. corner on a little small red oak marked and on the South side of a frog pond ; and so running on the East side upon land of Thomas West till it come to Boxford line ; and on the South on Boxford line to the stump of an old tree, with stones by it, on Boxford line; and from that stump, on the West side, by land of Richard Kimball, unto a stake and stones on the N. W. corner." We have no evidence of real estate as possessed in Massachusetts at an earlier date by a member of this family; implying that though married some eight or ten years previously, this ancestor did not have a " home of his own," in Bradford, till 1710-11. It is evident, too, from this deed, and the price paid, that his original twenty-acre lot must have been comparatively wild and less valuable land at the time of purchase. The northern bounds are not given, but its location on Boxford line is made certain. This was afterwards known in Bradford as the "Job Runnels Place," where the ''Job Runnels apples," excellent for their keeping qualities the year round, were found growing. J. Warren Chad wick now owns the same site, near Chadwick*s or Little Pond. The land was transferred from John Runnels [22] to James Buswell, and by the latter to John Chadwick. The old Runnels house was standing as late as 1840.
