B. Fairfield Town Votes, p. 66.
* The order of names in this list is, perhaps, more correct than in any other of the lists of dividend holders in the various divisions of lands. From the Widow Wheeler's long lot at Pequonnock to Joseph Middlebrook's, & in fact, the names of most of the owners of the long lots of the East farmers as far west as the Mile of Common, appear to be perfectly correct in their order of ownership. The addition of new dividend holders, & of the names of persons who lived on the opposite sides of the main streets of the town, appear to have created no little confusion, in giving the exact order of the names of the dividend holders west of the Mile of Common, as far more received dividends in the two & a half miles on the west side, than those who shared the dividends of the one and a half mile on the east side. The frequent exchange & sale of some of these lots, no doubt, was the cause of the irregularity in the order of names of the holders of the lots west of the Mile of Common. It must always be remembered that Simon Couch owned the last long lots next to the Norwalk boundary line. Joseph Patchin did not remain long at Green's Farms, & both his long lot & that of Samuel Goodwin's lay among those east of Couch's & Andrews'. But the order of ownership in this list is very nearly correct. The highways were laid out, & afterwards renewed at a much later date, which will be shown hereafter. It will be well to remember also, that the building-lots had nothing whatever to do with the old home-lots of the first settlers .- AUTHOR.
