Does anyone know what this might mean?
I am using some 1868 maps of Upstate New York and one of the farmstead sites I have detected a little bit had four buildings on it. One was marked "Store House"; the other is the original house marked with the name of the family that lived there (that is still standing); the other is marked "dairy barn" and the fourth is marked simply with the initials "W.H.".
I have seen this "W.H." on other maps from the time period in other nearby areas.
My guess is "well house." But that's just a guess.
Thanks for the help!
