Possibly called Somerset Hall rather than Somerset Hill. In which case, possibly part of a larger Somerset Hall estate, the ownership of which has yet to be disentangled. Not identified in the compensation records. Possibly Joseph Newell King died between 1832 and 1834, giving the estate a new owner. |
