Goodnight from Concord 🫶🏼💫🍂

Random observation:

I've speculated before that the house in Carlisle was for Jeremy Renners show Rennervations

The house itself is a beautiful old Georgian revival (Ooof dream house personally, even if it is a little big for my two person family and I wouldn't want to be vacuuming THAT all of the time, I 💕 old houses, have you ever followed "Buildings of New England" on the gram 😍)

I've observed the L&D situation for a while and have never seen anything that matched the Carlisle place on either their grid or in their stories

What's more is the video of 🐟 playing video games doesn't match any of the known images of any of Christopher's residences...

Here's my theory:

The delay in any reveal of the renovation of the house was due to it being purchased for the purposes of participation in Jeremy's show

If you've watched it you'll notice that most of these projects are for someone else benefit as a way of giving back to the community

This is something that Christopher has done before for his mother (we know that boy loves his Mama) with the Concord Youth Theatre which she runs where he helped rescue and renovate an old church so that the group would have a permanent home 🏘️

What is one of his other favourite charities that is locally based? Christopher's Haven

What if the Carlisle residence is not a place for him to live, but a house purchased with the intention of joining in with Renner on giving back to one of his favourite charities? A residence for families to stay in while their children are receiving treatment

It sounds much more like something Christopher would elect to participate in 🙏

But because of the strikes, nothing can be promoted or confirmed, even by L&D.....

Just my opinion

Too many people knew where he was living, I think that's all. He is probably tired of people very well knowing his address, and maybe people were even violating his privacy over there, which wouldn't be surprising since people knew his full address. And Concord isn't that big. He didn't have huge fences or a whole ass group of security there, so it was kind of dangerous over there.

Some people are already knew his new house adress too and carlisle house also didnt have that huge fences and security too. I think the only reason why he sold that house cause he want to move to the bigger house (carlisle is bigger right?) to build a family there. I hate that theory but that seems makes sense

I mean, I didn't say I think he was moving to Carlisle. Yeah, it's obviously a possibility since he owns it and renovated it, but that's a huge ass house, even if they'd move there together. 

Concord had 5 bedrooms, which would've been more than enough to start a family, and turning like 3 of them into bedrooms for kids would've been much cheaper than renovating a whole ass house. Carlisle has 7 bedrooms; even if they would have kids and visitors, it's way too much. And it has a quest house too. The Concord house would've been more than enough for them. So I doubt it's about space. 

The Concord house was much better for Dodger too, and he isn't getting younger. 

Both addresses are known. They won't have privacy in Carlisle either. People were posting about renovations and satellite pictures of the house, so yeah, those people who knew the Concord adress know the Carlisle one too, so what's the point in that? It's probably not about that either.

To be honest, I just can't see Chris living in that house. It's huge, and to me it seems too expensive and garish for his taste, but what do I know, right? I just can't really see that man who wears the same caps and belt for years and who had the same phone for decades living in that house. But we will see.

Council tenants in challenge to Perry over 'uninhabitable' flats

A group of residents placed in what they describe as “uninhabitable” temporary accommodation by Croydon Council have issued their own Christmas message – and a challenge to Tory Mayor Jason Perry. Gilroy Court: the B&B featured on a shocking Newsnight TV report in 2012 – but Croydon has continued to use the unsuitable accommodation ever since “Change needs to happen now,” says the Croydon…

On the road leading into the center of Concord, Massachusetts, there sits a house.

It is a plain, colonial-style house, of which there are many along this road. It has sea green and buff paint, a historical plaque, and one of the most multi-layered stories I have ever encountered to showcase that history is continuous, complicated, and most importantly, fragmentary, unless you know where to look.

So, where to start? The plaque.

There's some usual information here: Benjamin Barron built the house in 1716, and years later it was a "witness house" to the start of the American Revolution. And then, something unusual: a note about an enslaved man named John Jack whose epitaph is "world famous."

Where is this epitaph? Right around the corner in the town center.

It reads:

God wills us free; man wills us slaves. I will as God wills; God’s will be done. Here lies the body of JOHN JACK a native of Africa who died March 1773 aged about 60 years Tho’ born in a land of slavery, He was born free. Tho’ he lived in a land of liberty, He lived a slave. Till by his honest, tho’ stolen labors, He acquired the source of slavery, Which gave him his freedom; Tho’ not long before Death, the grand tyrant Gave him his final emancipation, And set him on a footing with kings. Tho’ a slave to vice, He practised those virtues Without which kings are but slaves.

We don't know precisely when the man first known only as Jack was purchased by Benjamin Barron. We do know that he, along with an enslaved woman named Violet, were listed in Barron's estate upon his death in 1754. Assuming his gravestone is accurate, at that time Jack would have been about 40 and had apparently learned the shoemaking trade from his enslaver. With his "honest, though stolen labors" he was then able to earn enough money to eventually purchase his freedom from the remaining Barron family and change his name to John, keeping Jack as a last name rather than using his enslaver's.

John Jack died, poor but free, in 1773, just two years before the Revolutionary War started. Presumably as part of setting up his own estate, he became a client of local lawyer Daniel Bliss, brother-in-law to the minister, William Emerson. Bliss and Emerson were in a massive family feud that spilled into the rest of the town, as Bliss was notoriously loyal to the crown, eventually letting British soldiers stay in his home and giving them information about Patriot activities.

Daniel Bliss also had abolitionist leanings. And after hearing John's story, he was angry.

Here was a man who had been kidnapped from his home country, dragged across the ocean, and treated as an animal for decades. Countless others were being brutalized in the same way, in the same town that claimed to love liberty and freedom. Reverend Emerson railed against the British government from the pulpit, and he himself was an enslaver.

It wouldn't do. John Jack deserved so much more. So, when he died, Bliss personally paid for a large gravestone and wrote its epitaph to blast the town's hypocrisy from the top of Burial Hill. When the British soldiers trudged through the cemetery on April 19th, 1775, they were so struck that they wrote the words down and published them in the British newspapers, and that hypocrisy passed around Europe as well. And the stone is still there today.

You know whose stone doesn't survive in the burial ground?

Benjamin Barron's.

Or any of his family that I know of. Which is absolutely astonishing, because this story is about to get even more complicated.

Benjamin Barron was a middle-class shoemaker in a suburb that wouldn't become famous until decades after his death. He lived a simple life only made possible by chattel slavery, and he will never show up in a U.S. history textbook.

But he had a wife, and a family. His widow, Betty Barron, from whom John purchased his freedom, whose name does not appear on her home's plaque or anywhere else in town, does appear either by name or in passing in every single one of those textbooks.

Terrible colonial spelling of all names in their marriage record aside, you may have heard her maiden name before:

Betty Parris was born into a slaveholding family in 1683, in a time when it was fairly common for not only Black, but also Indigenous people to be enslaved. It was also a time of war, religious extremism, and severe paranoia in a pre-scientific frontier. And so it was that at the age of nine, Betty pointed a finger at the Arawak woman enslaved in her Salem home, named Titibe, and accused her of witchcraft.

Yes, that Betty Parris.

Her accusations may have started the Salem Witch trials, but unlike her peers, she did not stay in the action for long. As a minor, she was not allowed to testify at court, and as the minister's daughter, she was too high-profile to be allowed near the courtroom circus. Betty's parents sent her to live with relatives during the proceedings, at which point her "bewitchment" was cured, though we're still unsure if she had psychosomatic problems solved by being away from stress, if she stopped because the public stopped listening, or if she stopped because she no longer had adults prompting her.

Following the witch hysteria, the Parrises moved several times as her infamous father struggled to hold down a job and deal with his family's reputation. Eventually they landed in Concord, where Betty met Benjamin and married him at the age of 26, presumably having had no more encounters with Satan in the preceding seventeen years. She lived an undocumented life and died, obscure and forgotten, in 1760, just five years before the Stamp Act crisis plunged America into a revolution, a living bridge between the old world and the new.

I often wonder how much Betty's story followed her throughout her life. People must have talked. Did they whisper in the town square, "Do you know what she did when she was a girl?" Did John Jack hear the stories of how she had previously treated the enslaved people in her life? Did that hasten his desperation to get out? And what of Daniel Bliss; did he know this history as well, seeing the double indignity of it all? Did he stop and think about how much in the world had changed in less than a century since his neighbor was born?

We'll never know.

All that's left is a gravestone, and a house with an insufficient plaque.
