In 1828 a Roger Thomey, Sr. retired to Poole from Mosquito and left a large plantation to his sons, Dennis and Kennedy. Roger Thomey had apparently assembled the property partly through purchase from Charles Garland and partly through a grant from Governor Pickmore, indicating the family was in Mosquito in the first two decades of the l9th century.

Also in 1828 another Thomey, Arthur, borrowed money using his plantation in Mosquito as security. In 1838 he also purchased another plantation from the Innott estate.

Kennedy Thomey was still alive in 1910 and references to the house and property in the early years of the 20th century are to "Kennedy Thomey's Farm". This would seem to indicate that this was the property left by Roger to Dennis and Kennedy in 1828. The question remains, however, whether the house was on the property in 1828 when Dennis and Kennedy inherited the farm from their father or whether it was built later. There is the tantalising possibility that since there were "improvements, buildings, and erections" on the land when it was granted to Roger Thomey by Gov. Pickmore that the building could date to the very early 19th century. Residents of the area feel the house is at least 150 years old.

The other possibility is that it may have been the property of Arthur Thomey although this would still make it possible for the building to be very old since the plantation he purchased in 1838 had a "Dwelling House" on it.
