sold the property in 1753 to Dennis
Heffernan for £2 10s. It was not until 1764 that Heffernan registered a deed for the property. As stated by Jonathan Fowler "This may be interpreted as a sign that Heffernan was planning to construct a house on the lot, and wanted to ensure that the legal groundwork was in place." Dendrochronological research has provided "cutting" dates of the wood used in the construction of the house that range from 1741 to 1764, with the most reliable dates at 1758. The data thus indicates the latest date of construction for the Morris House at 1764 or a year or two later at most. Charles Morris' son Charles Morris (II) purchased the property from Heffernan in 1777 for £65.
