TABLE OF ORIGINAL GRANTS OF HOME-LOTS TO
THE FIRST SETTLERS.
COMPILED FROM THE RECORDS IN THE FIRST BOOK OF GRANTS
AND DEEDS.
jVbfe.—These records appear to have been made some twenty
years and more after the grants. They are generally without date,
interspersed with other records from 1670 to 1690. Probably some
original grants were never put on record ; they are incidentally
mentioned in the boundaries of other grants. The estimated quantity,
and the boundaries are given ; but not the length of any of
the boundaries. Over some of the records, another hand has inserted
the date 1652. The book is complete : the folios being numbered
from 1 onward.
