His real estate in 1829 aounted to one hundred and thirteen acres in Stoughton, and seventy in Easton. In that year he transferred it all to his son-in-law, Mace Gay, for $2400.00, with the understanding the Mr. Gay shold provide a suitable room for Jeremiah and his wife Hannah, with specified necessities and comforts of life as long as they lived, and Mr. Gay was to have the imporvement of the stock on the farm, kept undiminished in quantity and quality. If Jeremiah reached the age of eighty the stock was to belong to Mr. Gay; but if he died before he reached the age of eighty the stock was to be equally divided among his surviving heirs.

The next year the remainder of the estate, about one hundred acres, with included the homestead, was sold to the son Jeremiah Vose and his sister Jerusha Morton.

Jeremiah's widow, Hannah Vose, lived in the old house which over-looked what is now Long Pond, as late as 1839, when her son Joseph leased the place, and she was then residing with him. Soon afterward she went to the home of her daughter Hannah Swan, and remained there until death
