accepted. Sent down for concurrence. Simon Frost Dep'y Secre- tary. (Mass. State Archives, Vol. 114, page 610.) To this list Mr. Williams in the " Redeemed Captive " adds the names of Samuel Colby of Almsbury and Irgal Newbury of Malden.
As will be seen, a number of the claimants resided in Connecti- cut ; also some of the soldiers were at this time living, and person- ally applied for their allotments, as in the cases of Nathaniel Alex- ander, John Chase, Samuel Beldin, John Bradshaw, Joseph Fuller, Samuel Hunt, James Mun, Jonathan Wells and others.
Proprietors' Meetings .- The grant was confirmed Jan. 21, 1736, and six days later, Jan. 27, according to a notification issued by the House of Representatives, the Proprietors held their first meeting at the house of Benjamin Stebbins, at Northampton. Ebenezer Pomeroy was chosen moderator, also proprietors' clerk, Thomas Wells, Esq., Samuel Field and Jonathan Hoit of Deerfield were elected a committee whose duty it should be to " examine ye place agreeable to ye Act of ye Genll Assembly where ye Town Shall Ly and when They by viewing, obtain satisfaction where to lay sd town, Then to Gett itt Laid out by a Surveyor and chairman under Oath." They were further instructed to prepare a plan of the township, subject to the acceptance of the proprietors and ulti- mately to confirmation by the General Court.
The second Proprietors' meeting was also held at Mr. Stebbins' home the succeeding fall, Oct. 6th. In the notification all are warned to " Come prepared to Pay ye First Charge For Laying out sd Township." The land was laid out in four divisions ; the first was planned in such manner that each proprietor received a "Home Lot " of not less than 50 acres, and all " Entervail or meddow Lands Should not be Laid out In ye aforesaid 50 acre Home Lotts." The committee having this division in charge was Ichabod Allice of Hatfield, William Dickson of Hadley, Hezekiah Wright of North- ampton, Samuel Field of Deerfield, Benjamin Munn, Jonathan Hoit and Eleazer Hawks of Deerfield. A commendable spirit of fairness and honorable dealing with each other was most excel- lently portrayed by the minute instructions given this committee. Among other things they were particularly requested to note, in all cases the quality of the land, and wherever they found that

which seemed inferior, to offset the same by an additional quantity, that all might be made as nearly equal as possible. The first charges made were for 3 pounds a person, and no one was to be admitted to a draught until he had paid that sum. About this time it was again voted to petition the General Assembly for an additional grant, upon the ground that the grantees were more numerous than in other towns granted for such like military ser- vices. Thomas Wells was invited to prefer the petition: but if any further action was taken in the matter at this time it was not recorded. It is not improbable, however, that the "Gore " received in 1741 was the result of a revival of this petition.
In 1737 there had 97 proven their claims to a proprietorship in the new town, consequently it was deemed advisable that the land should be divided into 100 lots, 97 proprietary, and 3 to be known as Public Lots, i. e., devoted to the use of the church and school. These latter were to be " Pitched upon by ye Committee that Laid Out ye Same and the Lotts Pitched upon by ye Committee are as followeth ; viz. the Minister's Lott, No. 6, School Lott, No. 60. The Ministry Lot, No. 26."
Thus we see that amid the hardships incident to the settlement of a new and hostile country, our sturdy ancestors did not, for a moment, lose sight of the fact that in a religious and educational development lay the means of facilitating their own and their coun- try's progress.
Having taken the first steps tending towards future moral and mental advancement, their attention was turned to the disposition of the Home Lands, all who were there then drawing their number or "Ticket." The absentees were to be instructed to apply to the. Clerk who kept "The Remainder of ye Tickets not now drawn."
" And here followeth a Lift of ye Proprietors' Numbers That each proprietor drew " those marked # designating the ones who gave the required bonds for settling.

After the disposal of the lots as above, this meeting was ad- journed to what would possibly seem an unseasonable hour, seven of the morning following ; to those of whom we write, however, it was of no uncommon occurence, for during the succeeding four . years mention is frequently made of meetings being held at that hour, and in one instance, at six. A possible explanation may be found in the fact that many of the proprietors, being non-residents of Deerfield, (where the most of the meetings were held) were nec- essarily obliged to remain over night, and preferred, or rather, needed the most of the day wending their way homeward, through paths which, at the best, were fraught with many and unseen dan- gers.
At this adjourned meeting were appointed Ebenezer Barnard and Shem Chapin to prevent any strip or waste being committed upon the land, prosecution being the penalty of all such depreda- tions. In October, 1737, this action was so modified that the priv- ilege of cutting sizable wood and timber was permitted. In the
22
SETTLING BOND OF JOSIAH SCOTT.
spring this was followed by a vote restricting the prerogative to ' such wood as was used upon the place.
Prior to this, no really definite steps had been taken toward set- tling within the limits of the new town. All that had been accom- plished was, necessarily, work of a preparatory nature. Now it was deemed advisable to further comply with the conditions of the grant and procure settlers to the number of sixty, and a committee was chosen for that purpose. They were instructed to receive bonds of 100% from each settler. The bond taken from Josiah Scott is still in existence, and is an interesting document of which the following is a copy :
Josiah Scott's Settling Bond .- " Know all men by thefe Prefents that I, Josiah Scott of Hatfield in the fd County of Hampfhire in Province of Mafsachufet bay in New England, houfewright, Am holden & Stand firmly Bound & obliged unto Samll Field of Deer- field In fd County aforefd Treafurer for the Proprietors of the fall fight township above Deerfield aforefd So Called, to his Succefsors in fd office in the full & juft sum of one Hundred Pounds Current Money of New England to be Paide unto the fd Samll Field in his capacity aforefd or to his Succefsors in fd office or to his or theire Certiani Attorney for the ufe of fd Proprietore to the which Pay- ment well and truly to be maide, I bind myselfe my Heirs, Excters (two words not decipherable-) firmly By thefe Prefents Sealed with my Seal, Dated this 29 Day of April in the Eleventh year of his majesties Reign Anno Domini one thoufand Seven Hun- dred & thirty Eight.

From the existing records it would seem that it was with some difficulty that the sixty settlers were secured. An 18£ bond was required of the non-settlers and it was voted to take this of Joshua Fuller, Joseph Fuller, William Turner and Thomas Seldin, at their request. Later it was reported that the thirty-seven non-settlers paying 18£ each, it was impossible to secure the requisite sixty, hence it was decided to raise the non settling bond to 22f. It ap- peared that five had been dilatory in their choice of lots, and had not yet paid their first assessment of 3£. Therefore, at the next meeting the Clerk " in open meeting " was to draw lots as to which the delinquents should be of the number to settle, or to give a 22£ bond. There were but 42 who expressed themselves ready to take up their abode in the new town, therefore the Proprietors, consid- ering that 27 of their number had failed to give a bond either way, and that there remained then 17 to make up the number required, instructed the Clerk to draw lots to fill the vacancy. The result was that these were to settle :

Now, and perhaps to their surprise, the Proprietors found that, including the Minister's lot, there were sixty-one lots taken. This being one more than the number called for, permission was given Ebenezer Barnard to become a non-settler by giving the usual 22£ bond. The proceeds of these bonds were to be devoted to the es- tablishment of a house of worship and the maintenance of a Chris- tian minister. As a matter of fact, Samuel Cunnabell was the only one of these positively known to have settled in town, and in the excitement of the perilous Indian warfare which so soon followed, it is more than probable that this clause in the conditions of the grant was soon lost sight of.
As yet the people resided at such distances that it was consid- ered necessary for three collectors to be chosen ; they were Mr. Samuel Blanchard for the district exclusive of Hampshire County, John Hinsdale for the upper part of that County, and Aaron Steb- bins for the lower part and any other place not before mentioned.
According to the instructions given by the General Court a plan of the township was prepared by Surveyor Nathaniel Kellogg and presented by the proprietors to Ensign Jonathan Hoit for safe keeping. At a subsequent meeting it was ordered to be passed to Mr. Elijah Williams. In the Mass. State Archives, Vol. 35, p. 21, is a plan, drawn in 1734.
June 13, 1739, Messrs. Williams and Kellogg were desired to pre- pare a plan upon parchment of the first division Home and Meadow Lots. July 2nd, 1807, this parchment plan was referred to by Ep. Hoyt of Deerfield as being used by himself in preparing a plan of that portion of the town known as " Frizzell Hill," and which was a part of the territory set off as Leyden.
A plan drawn by Dr. Caleb Chapin was, in 1893, in the possession of his grandson, Mr. S. W. Chapin (since deceased), and is an inter- esting and valuable document. That this plan must have been
25
PETITION FOR THE " GORE."
made at a much later date is evident by its containing all the four divisions of land.
Up to this time, 1738, the Proprietors' clerk had been Ebenezer Pumroy, whose residence was at Northampton; now the most of the business seemed likely to be managed at Deerfield, or within the limits of the new township, therefore it was decided to elect a clerk residing nearer, and Ebenezer Barnard, a resident of Deer- field, was chosen by a great majority. The succeeding year choice was made of a new moderator in the person of Elijah Williams, who, with Samuel Field and Ebenezer Sheldon, was also appointed to lay out the roads. Hereafter upon the application of 7 proprie- tors the clerk was instructed to call a meeting, notifications being sent to Deerfield, Hatfield, Northampton, Hadley, Springfield, Wethersfield, Mauldin (Malden) and Watertown, thirty days before, and the same advertised in the " Public Prints." From these towns, doubtless, the most of the first settlers came. Monday, October 19, 1740, a vote was passed that a man be sent with a petition to the General Court for the gore of land lying between the township and Boston township No. 2, above Deerfield, and to get the plat of the town confirmed. Thomas Wells was asked to represent their claims and, if successful, he was to receive for his services 150 acres of land anywhere in the gore. Mr. Wells obtained for the town the additional territory sought, but for some unexplainable reason the town later rescinded their vote regarding his payment, and ten- dered him, instead, the sum of 50f.
Church Established .- In the meantime, as reference to the eccle- siastical history will show, a church had been erected, and Septem- ber 23, 1741, was rendered memorable by the meeting of the day at which it was voted to settle a Minister. Out of the 48 votes cast, Rev. John Norton received 47. A committee was chosen to confer with Mr. Norton and draw up plans for his settlement. Eliezer Hawks, Chairman, submitted the following :
" As to a Settlement, Mr. Norton Shall have a 70th. Part of the Six Miles Square which is the original Grant of sd township, or an Equail Part of the whole township with each Proprietor, the ufe of the ministry Right During his abode in the work of the Ministry in sd Place and 200£ to be paid him half in money and half in
26
FIRST SETTLERS.
Work or Materials for building, within one year from the time of his settlement in sd work. 2nd, As to his sallery he shall have one hundred and thirty pounds pr Annum for the first five years, and then to advance five pounds pr Annum until it Amounts to 170£ pr Annum, the Bills to be equal to Silver at 29s. pr ounce, or Silver at 29s pr ounce and his firewood brought to his door." These pro- posals were accepted by the proprietors and ultimately by Mr. Nor- ton. He was settled November 25, 1741, the exercises occurring at Deerfield, and at the same time the present Unitarian (then Ortho- dox) church of Deerfield was organized. To defray the expenses of this occurrence a tax of 3£ was imposed upon each original right -- public rights excepted.
A second division of land was now contemplated, and presumably laid out. In this division each proprietor, in turn, had the privil- ege of laying out his property wheresoever he chose in the undi- vided lands, the newly acquired gore excepted. By this division, each had his possessions increased by one hundred aeres.
First Settlers .- Thus we have traced the origin and foundation of the settlement, its history as revealed by the records found upon the proprietors' books. The conditions of the grant had been com- plied with, the church established, the pastor settled, the business meetings of the proprietors held at home, the first one at Mr. Eben- ezer Sheldon's, September 23, 1741, and the first one held at a pub- lie place having been convened at the church or Meeting House, September 2, 1742. All things looked auspicious for a healthy growth of the colony, which at the close of the year 1743, numbered 17 families, so far as known as follows:
1. Samuel Connabell.
8. Moses Scott.
2. Lt. Ebenezer Sheldon.
9. Rev. John Norton.
3. Dea.
10. John Lee.
4 . Maj. John Burk.
11. James Couch.
5. Caleb Chapin.
12. Capt. Eddy Newcomb.
6. Peter Newcomb.
7. Silas Newcomb.
13. Lt. David Rider or Ryther. 14. John Perry.
Little did the inhabitants realize that harrassing times were so near at hand. The recital of the occurrences of the next twenty years is one of almost constant warfare and a struggle for even existence.
