It appears from the above table that there were four proprietors' rights which were not drawn. Two of these proprietors were Dea. William Dickinson, of Hadley, and Capt. Israel Williams, of Hatfield. The other two, probably, were Obadiah Dickinson, of Hatfield, and Mr. John Hinsdell.
The proprietors appear to have been among the substantial men of Hamp- shire County, and several of them had at the time, or obtained subse- quently, no little distinction : among whom we may mention Capt. Israel Williams, Orlando Bridgman, of Bridgman's Fort, Capt. Nathaniel Cole- man, Capt. Zachariah Field, Jonathan and Thomas Wells, John Catlin, Nathaniel Kellogg and Noah Wright; all of whom acted well their part, in their time.
Only three of these original proprietors, so far as it has been ascertained, became settlers of No. 4, or of Charlestown. These were Capt. Phineas Stevens, Lieutenant Ephraim Wetherbe (written often Witherby and some- times Wetherbee), and Stephen Farnsworth. Lient. Obadiah Dickinson, Lieut. Joseph Clesson and Lient. Joseph Billings retained their proprietors' rights for a few years. It is possible that Mr. Billings might have settled in town for a short time, as his name occurs among the proprietors under the New-Hampshire Charter.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY.
The following persons became, for a short time, proprietors in the town- ship, but were not settlers: Rev. Ebenezer Hinsdell, Elisha Burt, Charles Holden and John Avery.
Major Josiah Willard's name, it appears, was among the proprietors, but was placed there for the benefit of Capt. Phineas Stevens.
The residences of only a few of the proprietors are given in the Proprie- tors' Records. The residences of the others have been set down according to the best information which, at this distant day, could be obtained. It is quite possible that there are some mistakes, as the same names are found repeated in different towns; but, if there are, it will not be because every endeavor has not been used to attain correctness.
