John Hull of Boston, as trustee, for £460 conveyed to Samuel Torrey,Ephraim Hunt and John Hunt, ail of Weymouth, the upland and meadow commonly called Sheds Neck, containing 120 acres.(Ibid., vol. 12, p. 22.) The property continued nearly half a century in possession of various members of the Torrey and Hunt families until 11 Dec. 1727, when Enoch Hunt sold 42 acres on Sheds Neck so called to Nicholas Phillips who on 29 Jan. 1734/5 conveyed it to Col.

This beneficent institution still owns the property and has smoothed the last years of over five hundred old and disabled sailors. In 1916 the Shedd Family Association secured a small plot of land on the crest of the Neck and erected thereon a memorial toDaniel1 Shed in the form of a lighthouse, consisting of a column of Quincy granite about twenty feet high surmounted by a substantial glass
