THE EXPLICATION OF YO LISTES
[1st] The House Lotts in ye 1st Collumnes of both this 28, & 29 : pages were generally confirmed the 26 of 9ber i660 on folio 10: & where there is any variation, want of explication or oth' Grant &c the perticular hints and pages refferring there- unto are also heere mentönd & added to each mans name:
[2]ly The 2ª devision of upland or addition to mens House Lotts in ye 2ª collumnes (being A quart' prt of ye number of Acres pertaining to houselotts was so ordri to bee ye 26 : 8ber i66i on fo: 14: & where there is nothing allow'd on ye 2ª Col- lumnes against any mans name, there are to bee understood to bee latter Grants of house Lotts, to whome by a Generall common received principle and Rule throughout the Towne, the 2ª devision of upland is ordinarily not due, except by speciall Grant; the same have it because so represented by the whole Towne to the honord Comttee in anno 1665, even whilst the Towne was in two parties as by their liste app"d :
[3]'y The 1st devision of meadows in ye 34 Collumnes being halfe the number of Acres granted to house Lotts were generally included in foure squadrons the 2ª & 3d daies of ye xi month 1660, on folio 11 & 12, & what the meadows there allowed fell short to suply those persons there named with theire due pportions such persons (& others yt had theire meadows ) were supplied out of oth" meadows formd up & downe ye Towne Common :.
[4]ly
The 2d devision of meadows ( was only [ ] in the like of the Liste given in to ye Comttce ye 6 Aprill 1665 & the Lotts was therein sª to bee drawne, but ye land being laid out in July next follo : & the acco: thereof given in by the Sur- veyors soone after was according to ord' fo : 27 added to ye Listes heere) & placed in the 4 Collummes, where ye nun- ber of Acres were pportioned to bee 8 Acres for every 10 Acres of meadow that was granted to every man in his Ist devision of meadow, & ordrd to lye in & about Cold harbo' meadows, midle meadows, & chauney meadows the 6 of the xi: month i66i see fo : 16; & on the 10: of the xij month 1662 see folio 20 : & they were by Lott laid out there in the fifth month 1665 see folio 30 as farre as those meadows would reach & what any fell short of their due in those meadows they (& such as had theire 2ª devision of meadow since granted them) were sup- plied out of oth' meadows aft wards found up & downe the Towne Common :
The 1st devision of Ceadar Swamp in the 5: Collumnes was appointed the 14 : of ye xi month 1662 folio 19 : & there at first ordre to bee an Acre for every 8 Acres yt A man hath in his house Lott on the 34 of ye xij month 1662: but after- wards it was determined to bee proportioned halfe the mum- ber of Rodds in the breadth of the swamp to the number of
35
acres each man hath in his house Lott (as app's by this Liste also given into to the Commuter in Aprill 1665) & was so laid out theire to cach man as his Lott fell on the 7: of March 1663/4 sce folio 26:

[29] SOME PASSAGES ON Ye LISTES EXPLAINED
Touching these Listes is to bee minded, that several of the Grantees heere- named, was at ye time of the delivering thesd Listes to ye Honord Committee & since that also before the Recording of yo sª Lists heere, eith" such as came not up to Improove the Lotts, & so eith" surrendred or loste them, & now oth[ers] possess them ; or such as had sold them to othrs; or such as are dead, & now are occupied eith" by the widows or children, or by such as have married theire widows & vizt Nath! Johnson hath Peter Kings gra[nt, ] Samil ward hath his Broth" Richard wards Grant, Tho" Brigham has Benia" Rice's Grant, Abram Williams hath Henry Kerly, & W" Kerly sent Grants, John Browne hath Joseph Holmes Grant, John Brigham hath Capt Wheelers Lands, Thoms Barnes hath halfe of Jonathan Johnsons 30 Acres & all Lands & Rights due to 15 Acres house Lott & the sd Jolmson hath only retained the oth" halfe parte of his Lands granted him : Edmº Rice's Lands is in his widows hands, Sam" Goodenow possesses ye Lands of his fath" Tho' Goodenow sen' Jnº Barns yt maryed the widow of Thos Goodnow Jun" [now ] occupies y' &c :.
Mind that altho Sam" Rice hath by folio 18 5 acres added to his first grant of 21 acres on fo : [ ] to make his house Lott 26 Acres, & (some oth's as Richard Barnes hath by folio 14, foure Acres added to his 16 Acres at first granted him for an house Lo[tt] on folio 10 to make it up 20 Acres as heere on Liste app's ; to whome also by Joynt Act of the whole Towne (& whilst in two parties ) in theire Li[st ] given in to ye Comittee 6 Aprill 1665 all Rights accomodacons of & to other devi- sions of Lands w[as) granted them for each addition as well as for ye [ ] proportion granted them for house Lotts, yett this [is] not the Rule to oth's that have not cach A rep- resentation & thereby a confirmacon of such alowa[nce ] from the whole Towne ratified by the honord Commttee as will app' severall instances foll[ ] who held theire enlargemnts of that kind uppon oth" [ ]nts : (viz')
John Johnson hath 3 Aeres of upland confirmed [to] him more than the 27 Aeres house Lott mencond [in ] this Liste see folio 10 where it is called 30 Aeres but for sd 3 Acres hee is to have no allowance of La[ud] or oth" Towne Rights oth" than what is due to his Lotte of 27 Acres, & therefore heere is but 27 Acres meneond in collumne of house Lotts to his name on this Liste, de yet hee is to pay rates for one Acre of the 3 Acres, & the other 2 Acres is in lien of all other Accomodacons belonging unto the one Aere thereof rated : Also observe John How sent hath 20 Acres added to his 30
36
Acres house Lott granted (besides the 6 Acres granted to his wife) but hee is to have no Allowance of Land or othr Towne Rights & priviledges for more then the 30 Acres (altho his 20 Acres is to make his 30 Acres 50 Acres) & yett hee is to pay to all ra[tes] for one third part of sd 20 Acres added (as hee doth for the oth' 30 Acres) by the honord Committees ordr & the oth' two third parts of the sd 20 Acres is ra[te] free & in lieu of all oth' accomodacons due to the sd 3d prt thereof rated : = Richard Newton hath halfe an Acre added to his house Lo[t] see Grant thereof folio 9 : but hee hath noe Right to any land or oth" priviledges for the said halfe Acre: Jolin Rediat sen" had halfe an Acre granted & adde[{] to his 22 Acres house Lott from ye beginning & hath all along paid Rates for it tho it was omitted uppon the Liste given in to ye Comittee the 6 Aprill 1663, because it was not confirmed to him as all oth" Grants notwithstanding; which by the Townes act till May 1672 wch was therefore ordered to bee amended & added on the Liste & to bee here Recorded in this booke; = Abraham Williams Lands (with John Woods Jun' weh were granted out of the 80 acres of the Cow Com- mon, & tho complained of by some, w[ere] by ye honord Commtree on the 20 June 1665 confirmed to them as all oth" Grants notwithstanding ; which) with Capta Tho : wheelers grant of Lands were [uot ] in the Listes ddt in to by both parties of this Towne to the sd Commttee but by theire ord's are now also added heere unto this liste as abovesd == And Lastly altho Tho : Barrett had nothing on the Liste above al- lowed when it was presented to the Commtree in Aprill 1665 but his house Lott because his house L[ott] was only then granted him, yett he hath meadows &c granted him since with oth" rights belonging to latter grants, well are also laid out unto him & [are] bounded as app's on folio 342, & wch he now possesseth tho an account thereof was not given in be- fore the Liste as above written was perfected wch is the only cause yt it is not above written : these few things are only hinted of merely (wch Assess's may reach oth" scruples of like nature) to sattisty such as will receive Ans[w's] & ouce at last forbeare to bee still asking these things conserning weh they have often received the like Answ's, to the honord Com- mttees sattisfaccon :. /
