  Notes	From The Powers Family, published 1883: "Walter Power, Jr., seems to have located in the northerly part of town, west of Spectacle Pond and adjoining Groton, near 'Brown Hill'. It would also seem that after the death of his brother William he became the owner of the old place at Concord Village. In 1723, in awarding the pews, the second 'pew place' was awarded to him, as paying the 'next to the largest tax.' Isaac Power's pew place was by the 'right-hand side of the south door,' while the 'pew place' of Thomas Power was on the right-hand side of Isaac Power. He also was probably buried in the 'usual place of burial,' but of that we have no record; but in May, 1853, the old gravestone of 'Rebekah, in ye 80th yr of her age,' was found freshly turned over by the plow of Mr. Reed."
