On her death is 1861, it passed to her grandson Hallock Bishop. In 1878 it was purchased by Charles Valentine and stayed in the Valentine family and his partner Forest Reeve until about 1916. When a Mr. Noble purchased the property in 1916, he moved the associated house to 3 Fire Place Neck Road (Historic Structure ID Br30B), and the store, by then called the "Brook Store," to its present location at 378 South Country Road. It is now owned by the Post-Morrow Foundation.
