Timeline of Residents 1722 - 2010 (298 years)

First owned by Rhode Island Colonial Governor, Caleb Carr (1616-1695), this property was inherited by his son Francis and in turn by his only child Sarah Carr. Sarah and her husband George Pigot moved here from 1722 - 1727.  It's unclear whether Francis or Sarah and George built the house.

Pierre LeValley traded his Marblehead Mass. property with Sarah Carr and George Pigot for what would become the LeValley Homestead. According to the 1989 research of Paul LeValley, "by The house stayed in the LeValley family ownership 221 years. 

"To accommodate his growing family of eleven children, John did a massive remodeling of the house." Research of Paul LeValley, 1989.

"Peter's three unmarried daughters continued to live in the house, and bought up two of the shares. Mary, the last surviving daughter thus owned half of the original estate, which she passed on to her daughter Amanda. Amanda was known as the eccentric Amanda for her views on women's liberation."  Research of Paul Levalley, 1989.

Matilda M. (LeValley) Spencer inherited her family's homestead from her cousin Amanda. According to Paul LeValley's research, "She...added a low wing to the big barn to shelter her undertaker-husband's funeral carriages". 

After the death of Matilda Spencer, her family's homestead was rented to two families from 1920-1948. 

Mr. and Mrs. Broadhurst first rented the house from the Spencer family for several years before purchasing their home in 1948. This was the cherished home of Mrs. Broadhurst's until a little more than 10 years ago. 

Mr. and Mrs. Guillemette purchased the property from the Broadhurst family.  After exhausting all possibilities of preserving the property, their family is hoping to honor the history of Phenix Hill by preserving the quite majestic of this historic site.
