1 The head of Cobb's meadow is at the easterly end of a grassy meadow now owned by Albert Benson a short distance south of the road leading from Parting Ways to Plympton. The sheep pasture extended a mile and a half each way from this point, including a lot of three miles square. A part of it was within the present bounds of Plympton, Kingston and Carver. On its southerly side it extended across the Carver road and nearly over to the South Meadow road. One of the wood lots within the bounds is still called the " Shepherd's Tent lot." It was finally abandoned as a sheep pasture, and in 1784 the town voted to sell it. The towns of Plympton and Kingston, which had been incorporated in 1707 and 1726 respectively, put in claims for a share, but it was finally decided that they had no interest in it, and the whole was sold in lots at various times by the town of Plymouth.
