III. NORTH MEADOW extended from the bridge to Windsor, and from the Great river to the creek which separated it from the Neck lots. The lots ex- tended from east to west the whole width, and most of them included both meadow and swamp. To each proprietor on the north side, there was granted two lots, a large one at the upper end of the meadow,

DIVISIONS.
and a smaller one at the lower end. About 800 acres were thus distributed.
IV. NECK extended as at present from the town to Windsor, and from the Meadow swamp to the hills, and included about 400 acres. Each proprietor in the Neck had two lots, one at the upper, and the other at the lower end, as in the North Meadow lots.
V. Cow PASTURE lay west of the present Windsor road, and north of the Albany turnpike. It contained about 1,000 acres, and was held in common by the original proprietors on the North side. After a few years, however, it was divided among the owners. It was bounded north by common or undivided land, east by the Neck, south by the Highway to the Com- mons, which separated it from the West field, Ventu- rers' field, and Pine field, and west by the Little Ox Pasture.
VI. LITTLE OX PASTURE lay west of the Cow Pasture, and on both sides of the road leading north from the Albany turnpike. It contained about 200 acres, and was divided into 19 lots, varying from two to 20 acres. It was bounded north by common land, east by the Cow Pasture, south by the highway from the Cow Pasture to the Country, separating it from the Pine field and Middle Ox Pasture, and west by common land, afterwards called the Blue Hill lots.
VII. WEST FIELD lay west of the town lots, and contained about 100 acres. It extended north to the Albany turnpike, through the east part of which High street now runs. At the north end of it, lay the house lots of Thomas Upson, Renold Marvin, Thomas Barnes, &c. There was once a road which led across it to the Brick-hill, about 40 rods north of Church street. On the south lay Mr. Allen's ten acre swamp lot, which extended south to Asylum street, on both sides of Brick-hill swamp brook. On the west lay the Brick-hill and the Venturers' field.
VIII. BRICK-HILL was the bank which is east of the present work house, and north-west of Bull's gar- den, and contained originally 6 1-2 acres. It had a road leading to it from the town.

HARTFORD.
IX. VENTURERS' FIELD lay north of the Brick-hill on both sides of a road from the Cow Pasture, and extended to the Albany turnpike. It contained about 35 acres, and was distributed among ten or twelve owners.
X. PINE FIELD consisted of about 25 small lots, of 50 acres in all, and extended from the highway in front of the Asylum, north to the Albany turnpike. The north-west corner was against the road leading north into the Little Ox Pasture. Through it ran an east and west highway from the Brick-hill to the river, perhaps the present road in front of the work- house. Another road ran across the east part of it, from the Cow Pasture to the Old Ox Pasture.
XI. OLD Ox PASTURE lay west of the house lots on Lord's hill, between the highway in front of the Asylum and the Little river. It originally contained about 100 acres, and belonged to Gov. Haynes, Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone: but the name was after- wards applied to all the tract south of said road to the river, embracing 500 acres. It belonged to the larger land proprietors. A north and south highway ran across it and the Middle Ox Pasture, from the Little river to the Blue hills.
XII. MIDDLE Ox PASTURE extended from the Pine field west to the river, on the north side of the road leading past the Asylum, and contained about 100 acres.
XIII. BLUE HILLS lay north of the Albany-turn- pike, west of the Little Ox Pasture, and extended on both sides of the Granby turnpike, north to the Com- mons.
XIV. BRIDGE FIELD lay on the west side of Woods' river, and extended from the dividing line on the south side of the Knowles' farm, north to the road leading west from Gurney's bridge, and west to the north and south highway, and contained about two hundred acres.
Most of the lands in these divisions, except the three last and part of the XIth, were distributed to the proprietors before 1640. Subsequently the lands
29
DIVISIONS.
between the Cow Pasture and Little Ox Pasture, on the south, and Windsor bounds on the north, were dis- tributed. The rest of the lands west to the West Division was held in common until after 1750.
On the SOUTH side, the proprietors were not so inventive in coining names for localities.
I. SOUTH MEADOW was the same as at present, embracing all east of the upland ridge. There was very little regularity in the laying out of the lots. After larger proprietors, or perhaps all the original purchasers had their lots laid out, the rest appears to have been taken up by pitches. That is, some half dozen individuals would associate, and take up an in- sulated spot susceptible of tillage, or a swamp, and divide it among themselves. In this way, irregular nooks and corners were left, which may have since been added to the adjoining lots, and given them their present irregular shape.
To parts of the South Meadow were given specific names. There were the, Great Swamp, Wet Swamp, Dead Swamp, Pool, Indians' Land, Dutch- men's Land, Ward's Swamp, Olmsted's Swamp, Haynes's Swamp, 3d and 4th Divisions, two or three 40 Acre lots, and two or three 5 Acre lots, and some 10 Acre lots, owned each by several proprie- tors; there was also a Cow Pasture. Gov. Haynes, Mr. Hooker, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Goodwin had lots in the South Meadow, with the South side proprietors. In all there appears to have been about 900 acres dis- tributed.
II. Ox PASTURE consisted of large lots belonging to the larger proprietors, and extended from the South Meadow on the east, across Wethersfield lane, west to a north and south line running on the east side of the burying ground ; and from the house lots on the north, to swamp lands on the south, and contained about 450 acres. It was afterwards ex- tended to Wethersfield line, which made an addition of 250 acres. When the Farmington road was laid out, it cut off the north-west corner, lying west of the South Green. 3*

HARTFORD.
POKE HILL was a name afterwards given indefi- nitely to lots on the west side of Wethersfield lane, south of the original Ox Pasture.
III. A tier of UPLAND lots lay between the Ox Pas- ture on the east, and the highway to the Great Swamp, now the south part of Washington street, and the lane leading south from the Retreat, on the west; and extended from the house lots on the north, to the Great Swamp on the south. It contained about 200 acres. Most of these lots were small, and many of them subsequently used as house lots.
GREAT SWAMP included all the low land in the south part of the town on both sides and east of the New Haven turnpike. The lots were generally large, and belonged to the Ox Pasture and Rocky hill tiers of lots. The swamp contained about 400 acres.
V. ROCKY HILL lots were bounded west on the highway on Rocky hill and onward to Wethersfield line, and east on the highway to the Great Swamp and the swamp lots, and extended from Baker's lane to Wethersfield line. There were 38 lots, varying in size from 3 to 60 acres, including in all 600 acres. On many of them buildings were soon erected. In fact, one of the first houses erected out of the town, was on the Skinner place near Wethersfield line. Zachery's lane and the Farmington road crossed this tier of lots.
VI. A tier of 17 small lots, granted to non-proprie- tors, lay between Baker's lane and the road to West Hartford, containing in all about 50 acres.
VII. A tier of WOOD LOTS lay between the road to West Hartford and the Little river, west of the small house lots, which contained about 100 acres.
VIII. A tier of 13 large lots lay on the WEST SIDE OF ROCKY HILL, and extended west to the river, and south to the Farmington road, embracing 400 acres.
IX. A tier of 6 large lots lay on the west side of the road from Rocky hill to Wethersfield, and extended west to the highway on the east side of CEDAR MOUN- TAIN. It contained nearly 300 acres, of which the Wyllys lot included one half.

NAMES OF LOCATIONS
X. Lots were granted on the westside of Hog river, in the bend between it and Woods' river.
COMMONS extended from Wethersfield to Windsor, and from the west side of the lots enumerated above, to the West Division, and was forever set apart by the proprietors for public use, for pasture and the cut- ting of wood. In what manner this pledge was vio- lated, and the Commons divided, will be the subject of future remark.
WEST DIVISION was originally laid out to all the proprietors by lot, without regard to North and South sides. The lots were at first one and a half miles long; but by encroachment on the Commons, were considerably extended. The manner of laying out will be given below.
EAST SIDE of the Great river, or HOCANUM, was a tier of lots, divided among the original proprietors before 1640, and extended from Weth- ersfield, [Glastenbury,] to Windsor, [East Windsor,] and from the river to the Main street, with the excep- tion of Indian reservations. The North and South sides had their respective portions.
The first purchase on the East side extended three miles from the river ; and the subsequent purchase from Joshua extended five miles further, to the bounds of Bolton. In this latter purchase is the town of Man- chester. Particulars will be given in subsequent pages.
The following are the names of some specific loca- tions : --
CENTINEL HILL was at the junction of Main, Trumbull and Burr streets, and probably covered an acre or more of ground, on one side of which was the pound ; hence it was sometimes called Pound hill. It was a hill from which the community were accustomed to carry away earth, until prohibited by a vote of the town. It was doubtless a place where centries were stationed to watch the city, and give alarms from danger. When such guards were no
32
HARTFORD.
longer necessary, the hill may have been leveled to fill up adjacent low grounds.
PALISADO was on the Little river where Main street now crosses it. There is no evidence that it was a fortification. Probably it was only a defence against danger on the high banks of the river, before any bridge was built.
MEETING-HOUSE YARD included not only the pres- ent State square, but extended north and south so as to include about twice the present area. In the north- east corner of the yard stood the gaol or prison, and in the south-east corner was the market place.
Ox PASTURE HILL included the building lots on the east side of the Old Ox Pasture, now called Lord's hill.
MILL LOT included two acres where the present gaol stands, together with the flat and bed of the river west of it. The main channel of the river was then under the South bank, and the flat was an island.
WOLF POUND was a name given to a lot or two on the east side and about the middle of Washington street.
TOWN ROADS.
The roads not before particularly described, were as follow : - The
ROAD TO WINDSOR, at first, either passed through the North Meadow, or lay on the bank in the Neck adjacent to the meadow swamp. Next, it probably passed up on the east side the Neck to the Soldiers' Field, and then crossed to the west side, on the borders of the upland. Afterwards it appears to have run from the northwest angle of Village street, obliquely to and over the hill, to the west side of the Neck. It was many years before the present road was located.
ROAD TO WETHERSFIELD has always been in its present location through the Ox Pasture.
ROAD TO FARMINGTON was very early laid out, commencing at the South Green, and running ob- liquely across the corner of the Ox Pasture, and
33
BURYING YARD.
across the upland and Rocky hill lots to the top of the hill, thence onward across the lots under the hill to the Commons near Cedar mountain ; thence across the Commons, the road has ever been varying. But through the West Division, the location of the road has ever been the same.
ROAD TO THE RIVER, OR TO THE COMMONS, on the South side, was a continuation of Baker's lane ; which was afterwards continued across the Commons, and called the "John Seymour 'road." The road has since been changed, and connected with the present West Hartford road, on the north side of the small tier of lots.
ROAD FROM THE MILL TO THE COUNTRY ran from the Little river over the hill and in front of the Asylum, to the Bridge Field and the Commons ; more recently called the GURNEY's road.
Cow PASTURE TO THE COUNTRY, afterwards "to the West Division," and "to Simsbury" was the same as the present Albany turnpike.
Other roads connecting with the two last, are speci- fied in the preceding pages.
On the South side, ZACHERY's lane, and the high- ways on and under ROCKY HILL, were original high- ways.
ROAD TO THE GREAT SWAMP, or Washington street and the lane in continuation running south from the Retreat, after a turn to the east, was after- wards continued to Wethersfield line.
BURYING YARD.
" The 11th of January, 1640," [1641.]
" It is further ordered, that the Burying-place is ap- pointed to be parcel of Richard Olmsted's lot ; and for satisfaction to Richard Olmsted for the said Bury- ing-place, and the fencing about it, he is to have a parcel of ground lying at the North Meadow gate, [the Cow-yard] containing about an acre and half of ground ; and the said Richard Olmsted is to remove Mr. Allen's fence, and set it by the highway against
34
HARTFORD.
the said ground, and to inclose the end of said parcel of ground, that it safeguard the long meadow. The said Richard Olmsted is to have part of John Skin- ner's lot, on which the said John Skinner's house stands; and the said John Skinner is to remove his dwelling house ; and John Skinner is to have for the same, 3 acres of upland, and for the exchange of ground, is to have 3 acres more ; which 6 acres is to be laid out in the Cow Pasture or Ox Pasture. Richard Olmsted is to trans-sill his house that stands upon the Burying-place, and then the town is to re- move it to the lot the said Richard Olmsted receives of John Skinner." [John Skinner gave up all his front on Main street, and had another house lot on Lord's Hill.]
" At a meeting of the town, February the 22, 1651."
" There was an agreement between the town and Richard Lord : He is to have the use of the burying place, to put in horses and calves; he to make and maintain the fence about it, that belongeth unto it, until the town shall desire to take it into their own hand; and then they are to give a year's warning: and if he desire to leave it, he is also to give the like warning." [The rest of the vote relates to condi- tions of the final surrender to the town : but the record is so much torn and gone, that the particulars cannot be made out. ]
" September 29, 1664."
" This writing witnesseth an agreement between Richard Lord of Hartford, and the Townsmen re- specting the burying-yard :
" The said Richard doth covenant, promise and engage to and with the said townsmen, that there shall be a sufficient pale fence set up round about the said burying ground, -that is to say, so much of the said fence as doth properly belong to the burying yard, and the fence next the highway, -the pales and post heads to be handsomely sharped, and the said fence set up straight, and the pales set even by a line at the tops, and this to be done at or before the 25th of October next ensuing the date hereof. The said

Richard is to feed off the grass with horses and calves, according to the former agreement. He is at no time to suffer hogs to come into the said bury- ing yard, nor to fodder cattle in it. The said Rich- ard is also to reduce the divident fence between his said orchard and the burying yard to its ancient bounds. All this to be done according to this agree- ment, and so maintained during the whole term that the said Richard shall improve the said burying-yard. And upon the breach of this agreement, or any part of it, he shall forfeit all the cost and labor upon it, to the town .- By pale fence, we intend only the fence against the highway, and the divident fence between his orchard and the said burying-yard."
" To which agreement, these parties have subscribed, RICHARD LORD."

" AN ORDER CONCERNING GRAVES."
" It is ordered that Thomas Woodford shall attend the making of graves for any corpses deceased : and that no corpse shall be laid less than four foot deep ; nor that be above four years old, shall be laid less than five foot deep ; nor that be above ten, shall be laid less than six foot deep.
" He shall receive for giving notice by ringing the bell, making the grave, and keeping of it in seemly repair, so that it may be known in future time,- when such graves have been made for the lesser sort, 2s. 6d., for the middle sort, 3s., and for the higher sort, 3s. 6d."
TOWN CRIER. "It is further ordered, that if any person hath lost anything that he desireth should be cried in a public meeting, he shall pay for crying of it 2d. to Thomas Woodford, to be paid before it be cried : and the crier shall have a book of the things that he crieth."

PROCEEDINGS OF PROPRIETORS.
" At a meeting of the proprietors of the undivided land in Hartford, the 9th day of February, 1671 [2] -"
" It was agreed by the proprietors, that a rate of ten pounds shall be raised upon the proprietors mentioned on the other side [see names on pages 8 and 9,] to be raised upon every man, according as his propri- ety and those he stands for shall give it, according to the rule entered in the Town Book for division of lands.
