Wadsworth" " and hidden in the Charter Oak Tree" This tavern was originally owned by Mr. Sandford's Grandfather. Jeremy Adams. When Mr. Sandford purchased it in 1685 he enlarged it and later made his son-in-law Jonathan Bunce a co-owner. At this period it was known as the "Black Horse Tavern". Then in 1757 Samuel Flagg, a son-in-law of Jonathan Bunce became its owner
