A Classic Hamptons Cottage for $13 Million
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/20/realestate/a-cl...-for-13-million.html
Exclusive By ROBIN FINN JULY 18, 2014
An exemplar of the classic, shingle-style Hamptons cottage, built as a 1910 summer home on 5.2 acres on a bayside bluff in Amagansett, is poised to enter the market at $13 million. It is the least imposing of the original five houses in the Devon Colony.
The Devon Colony was formed at the turn of the 20th century by four wealthy businessmen from Cincinnati: Richmond Levering, William Cooper Procter (a grandson of a Procter & Gamble founder, William Procter), Joseph Rawson Jr. and William Stanhope Rowe. Thanks to Procter & Gamble’s ubiquitous detergent, Ivory Snow, the Colony acquired a slightly irreverent local nickname, “Soap Hill.”

-ing to the spot he broke the film of fresh ice and jumping in found them safely floating just under the ice. We used to think he had earned his pudding.
I do not think they ever felt that they had suffered any hardships, though I think they lived to regret not have selected land near some thriving town.
Uncle Charles left first and came to Cincinnati, and father followed not very long after.
He married Frances Mary Thomas on her seventeenth birthday, July 28th, 1841.
She died January 29th 1863 and he September 22nd, 1881.

They had six children, Margaret, who died in infancy, Ellen Frances, who married Alfred Isham Totten, Charlotte Jupp, William Stanhope, who married Margaret Anna Richardson, Laura Alice, who married Thomas Humphrey Cushing Allen, and Basil Woodd, named for the Reverend Basil Woodd, who married an aunt of our father- "Sophia Sarah, the eldest daughter of William Jupp, Esq. (our great grandfather) an architect in London, July 3rd, 1792 -- "Memoirs of the Rev Basil Woodd". The same book tells that the marriage took place at the parish church of St Clements near Lombard St. It seems probable that our grandmother Charlotte Jupp was also married there, though the "memoirs" say"When I was elected lecturer of the St Peters, Cornhill, in the month of July 1784, I found her family (his wife's) in the habit of attending the afternoon service at that church.
