In the above table tlie number <strong>of</strong> acres <strong>of</strong> meadow-land<br />

assigned to each person is taken <strong>from</strong> the apportionment<br />

for the m.eadow fence assessed <strong>in</strong> 1744, five years before the<br />

additional grant was divided, and is believed to <strong>in</strong>clude all<br />

the owners at that time. In a few <strong>in</strong>stances the number <strong>of</strong><br />

acres belong<strong>in</strong>g to an <strong>in</strong>dividual is not carried out on the<br />

orig<strong>in</strong>al record, and there were several non-residents, whose<br />

names do not appear. The whole number <strong>of</strong> acres <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />

with<strong>in</strong> the meadow fence <strong>in</strong> 1744, as reported by the<br />

committee at that time, was 2493. The foot<strong>in</strong>g above will<br />

reach 2131 acres, and there were nearly 400 acres owned by<br />

non-residents.<br />
