28 wee Hired Icabud How to help us wee paid our Teamster Mr. How and Fish began the battoo and the rest carried the stores forward toward the pond.
29 battoo finished about noon then lanched into said pond and got safe over about Sunset.t
Lots on the east side of the river were laid out in the months of Sep- tember and October, 1772, by Ebenezer Waters, surveyor, and Elijah Livermore and Richard Woodward, chainmen.
Accounts of parties connected with the survey of 1772 as allowed and paid:

tIt is not certainly known who made these entries. They are in a small memorandum book that was in possession of Dea. Livermore; but they are not in his hand writing. There are many other entries in the book, some of which seem to have been made by a " Sudbury-Cana- da" man. The ones here given were undoubtedly made by Ebenezer Waters, Capt. Learned, or Mr. Woodward.
