Sketches of Bristol
"There was a house which stood at the northeast corner of Hope and Union streets, where the house of the late Timothy French now stands; it was built by William Hoar, the first of that name here, who settled here very early in the settlement of the town; he gave orders to be buried after his death in a certain place in his garden, six feet deep, to level off the grave and plow and plant on it the same as though no grave were there."

" At the north- east corner of Hope and Union streets stood the house of William Hoar. Two or three soldiers entered the house. One of them seized a string of gold beads that were about the neck of a young woman. The string was broken, and the beads rolled upon the floor. While the scramble was going on for the beads an officer entered and, learning what had been done, kicked the soldier out of the house and apologized for his rudeness."
