Inasmuch as the charter of Boyle had been forfeited by a failure, on account of the Indian troubles, to fulfill the conditions therein named, a petition was sent to the governor and council, as follows : -

Jany 24, 1763.
Tradition says there was a dispute whether the town should be called Gilbert or Sumner. Rev. Clement Sumner, of Keene, was the son of Thomas Sumner, and had married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Gilbert. Possibly this family connection led to the compromise by which the first syllable of each name was taken to form the unique name of Gil-Sum.
The original charter was, for many years, supposed to be lost. The substituted copy, signed by Philip Carrigain, secretary of state, bears date July 22, 1807. I have recently discovered the charter itself among the records of the town of Surry. The following is an exact copy : -

The figures annexed to the names are the numbers of the rights drawn, and were written afterwards by a different hand.
It will be observed that this charter not only grants the territory but incorporates a township. Mutatis mutandis it is almost identical with the charter of Boyle. The only important differ- ence is the provision setting apart one share for school purposes, which is not found in the charter of Boyle.
A fac-simile of the plan on the back of the charter is hercwith presented. The scale is very nearly two miles to an inch. The corner marked B W is Gov. Wentworth's share of 500 acres.

One thing manifest here, as in all ancient deeds and surveys, is the carelessness in estimat- ing the number of acres. Land was of so little value, that a few acres more or less in a hun- dred was little regarded. It was intended that the land should never fall short of the estimate, and it generally overrun a large amount, as here. Thus the description and plan give 25,340 acres, instead of 23,000 named in the charter. The proprietors, however, lost more than the extra amount, by the Masonian claim, as seen hereafter.

GILSUM.
The first record of the proprietors, after the second grant, is as follows : -
At a legal meeting of The Proprietors of the Town of Gilsum in the Province of Newhampshire. Holden at the House of Capt Ichabod Phelps inholder in Hebron in the County of Hartford and Colony of Conecticut, on Tues- day the 16 August 1763, Being met and duly formed,

3 Chose Tho" Sumner Clark for S' meeting to Transmitt the votes to Sa Clement Sumner,
4 Chose Samuel Gilbert, Esqr Dr W" Sumner & Tho" Pitkin JJr Cessors, for Sd Propriety
5 Chose Samuel Gilbert Treasurer
6 Chose Thomas Sumner, & Joshua Dart Collectors
7 Voted to raise a Rate of one Pound thirteen Shillings & Sixpence lawfull money of the Bay on each Right to defray the Charges of Sd Township that have already arisen and Shall arise
8 Voted that S' Money Shall be paid to the Proprietors Treasurer in the Space of Six weeks from the dates hereof
9 Chose Samuel Gilbert Thomas Pitkin Joshua Dart, a Committe to ajust the accounts of Sd Propriety.
10 Voted to draw the money out of the Treasurey by themselves or their order to Defray Sd Charges
11 Voted to adjurn Sd meeting to the House of mr Benjm Buel inholder in Sa Hebron &c till the 30 day of August Instant 1763 at one of the Clock in the afternoon
At the adjourned meeting the subject of dividing the land was the principal topie. A eom- mittee consisting of Joseph Maek, Clement Sumner, and Iehabod Fisher, were chosen to rectify a mistake in the " Ranging Table " whereby " Some Rights have drawn more & Some less than their real proportion." Each share was to consist of 250 aeres, and Jonathan Smith, Samuel Gilbert, Thomas Sumner, Thomas Pitkin, and Benjamin Sumner were a committee " to lay out the Common & undevided land." Samuel Gilbert, Esq., Thomas Pitkin, and Jonathan Smith were chosen " to Settle affairs with major Bellows."
From the records and deeds it becomes very evident that land speculation was extensively ear- ried on. Many prominent names were of men who had no intention of settling on their lands, but bought only to sell again. Some, like Col. Bellows, owned whole townships. The Gilberts and the Sumners were not bona fide settlers, but leading land speeulators. Capt. Gilbert, from whom the town was named, probably never came here at all ; yet he took the management of affairs, at first, almost entirely into his own hands, and that the actual settlers were far from satisfied is plain from their records. In a warrant for a meeting at Jonathan Smith's house, July 16, 1764, appears the following artiele : -
2 To Chuse a Committee to Treet and Setel with Capt Samuel Gilbert of hebron aboute a Sum of money that was paid to the Revd Mr Clement Sumner of Keen which sd proprietors think hath no Just Right to and that sd Committee agree and Setel with Sd Gilbert about a man or men whose name or names ware Sent to be put into the Charter whose name or names is soposd that he the Sd Gilbert Struck out and put others in and that Sd Commit- tee agree and Setel with Sd Gilburt about the overplus Rights that fall in what was Calld Masons patton ["the patent line,"] which Sd proprietors think they have a Just Right to have and further that Sd Committee Setel with the old Committee whitch Bought the Town of Gilsum about the Six overplush Rights which the Sd proprietors think they have a Right to have and make their Return of the Same.
Thomas Pitkin, Jr., Peter Oleott, and Jonathan Smith were chosen said committee. Septem- ber 21, 1768, Obadiah Willeox, Jonathan Smith, and John Marvin were chosen " to Settle with Samuel Gilbert about the Lands he Laid out after the first Laying out." Also ehose Obadiah Willeox and Joshua Dart " to go and take adviee of Lawyer Oleott in the matter." This was Simeon Oleott, Esq., of Charlestown. A warrant for meeting January 9, 1769, " at the House of Mr. Jonathan Smiths," has the following artiele : -
" 3ly : to See if the proprietors will Exsept of the Settelment made with Capt Samuel Gilbert about the money that was Given to Mr. Sumner of Keen and the five overpluch Rights that the Committee that Bought Sd Town Resarved to themseavels, 4ly to Chuse a Committee to Setel with Capt Gilbert about the Rights of Land he pre- tends to Clame in Sd town and Granted in the Charter."
It is evident they felt themselves mueh aggrieved, thinking that Capt. Gilbert had taken the lion's share for himself. and his son-in-law, Rev. Mr. Sumner. They voted not to accept the eom-
23
CHARTER AND PROPRIETORSHIP.
mittee's return of settlement with him, and, apparently thinking it of no use, declined to appoint any further committee. It seems, however, that the committee's settlement held good. The committee having been appointed for that purpose, their action probably was legally binding on the proprietors. Their settlement is recorded at length, and is signed, Peter Olcott, Jona- than Smith, Samuel Gilbert. Mr. Pitkin's name is omitted, and perhaps he did not concur. The date of the settlement is Dec. ye 4th, 1764, and clears Capt. Gilbert, throwing the responsi- bility as to the money paid to Clement Sumner on Mr. Sumner himself. About the names inserted in the charter, the committee say "Capt. Gilbert has Settled to our Satisfaction :" " as to the third article we find that he had a Right to take them Rights to himself which was charterd to him in the East End of sª Township as to the fourth article we find their time and Trouble & Fateague that they hant more than to pay them Honourably &c."
It appears that all town business prior to 1769 was transacted by the proprietors without separate organization. The roads attracted their principal attention. March 13, 1764, Jona- than Smith, Woolston Brockway, and Joseph Mack were chosen " to lay out and Clear necessary Rodes or highways." In April of the same year a road was laid out by this committee. Other roads were laid out by the proprietors in 1764-65-66. (Chapter 13.)
August 26, 1766, Ebenezer Dewey, Abel Allen, and Joseph Spensor were chosen "to Lay out and Clear Highways." "Chose Ebenezer Dewe Obadiah Willcox Medad Thornton a Committee to Tret with the Town of Keen about a Highway Lceding from the Town of Gilsum to Keen Meeting house."
No subsequent action of the proprietors indicates any care of town affairs. Previous to this they had all along chosen assessors and collectors as they needed. March 13, 1764, Obadiah Willcox was chosen proprietors' clerk in place of Clement Sumner, who was not a Gilsum man, and had evidently fallen into disfavor about the transactions withi Col. Bellows. Mr. Willcox remained clerk till December 20, 1798, when he " Resined," and "Lemuel Holmes, Esqr." was chosen in his place. November 6, 1810, Mr. Holmes " Resined," and " Capt Samuel Allen was chosen Clerk and remained in office till the close of tlie Records."
Assessments were made from time to time to defray various expenses. The first two, of 1762 and 1763, have already been noticed. (Pages 18, 22.) The next was July 16, 1764, " two Dol- lers on Each Right." August 26, 1766, " Eighteen Shillings on Each Proprietor," was assessed ; May 6, 1771, " Six Shillings on Each Right "; June 9, 1772, " one Doller on Each Right," and the same amount March 18, 1805. September 7, 1807, " Voted to Rais 2 Dollers upon Each Proprietors Share." February 23, 1813, " Voted to Rais money by subscription." Thus the whole amount assessed on each proprictor for fifty years was less than nineteen dollars.
The principal business which occupied the proprietors, in early times, was the division of the land ; and, in later times, the looking up and defending their claims as proprictors against claims of other settlers. The committee appointed in August, 1763, (p. 22) seem to have neg- lected, or not to have finished, laying out the land, for at a meeting July 16, 1764, " Chose Joseph Mack Nathanel Dart Job Gleson a Committee to Lay out to Each proprietors their Equal proportion in Sª Town." Something had already been done while the town was called Boyle, as appears by the numbers still claimed on the back of the charter, and the survey here- after mentioned by Caleb Willard scems to have been made at that early date. But there was still great confusion, and the looseness with which surveys were then made caused continual trouble. In the call for the meeting of August 26, 1766, is an article " to Chuse a Standing Committee to Deside all Controverseys that may arise By the Lotts Enterfcaring one on another and fienely Settel the Same Between man and Man when aply'd to." It was, however, dis-

missed without action. The warrant for November 3, 1767, contains several articles referring to this subject, all of which were dismissed except the following: " to See if the proprietors will Vote to Establish the Lines on the west Side of the Mountain whare they now are," which was voted.
This is only one of many points, showing that what is now Surry was settled much more rapidly than the more castern parts of the town. The meadows along the river were more attractive to the settlers than the rough, hilly farms on the cast of the mountain.
The most important of the proprietors' records is the following : -
At a meeting of the proprietors of the town of Gilsum Leagely warn'd and Holden at the lionse of Joshua Darts in Surry on monday the fifteenth Day of January Ad 1770 Being met and Duely formd the following Votes ware then past 1th Chose John Marvin Moderator to Govern Said Mectting 2ly at the Same meetting it was Voted to Exsept of the plan of Boyl now Gilsum in maner and form as Surv'd and Returnd By Caleb Willard Surver of Lands, with an alowene of fore acres to Each Hundred acres for Highways: 3ly : at the Same mectting Voted that Each proprietor Shall hold two hundred and fifty acres to Each Right or Share of Land and the Same Be Recorded at Large on the proprietors Book 4ly Voted to Exsept of the Survey of the Land Laid out By Breed Bachelor Surver of Lands and the Committee that asisted him : 5ly : Chose obadiah Willcox Joshua Dart and Ebenezer Killburn Lot Layers to Lay out to Each Share two Hundred and fifty acres : fly Chose Jolin Marvin to ascest the Clark in Recording : 7ly Chose Thomas Hervey Johnathan Smith ir and Joshua Dart a Committee to treet with Westmore Land and walpool to measher their town Lines to See if hant got more that their Comple- ment of Land.
