the first Settlers of New-Ark, relating to the property of said last mentioned Lands and Meadow, whereby the real Benefit and Advantage which might other- wise be made of the same is greatly obstructed and hindered-and that at a Town Meeting held at Newark afs'd. In March last, during the Time of the Small Pox being in Town, and when but very few of the In- habitants were present, and without any previous Notice being given to the Inhabitants of said Town of any Intent of their passing a Vote relating to said Lands called the Parsonage Lands -- it was then and there voted by the majority of the few then present, that Application should be made to One David Young, ITeir to the Surviving Trustee mentioned in said Letters Patent, to obtain a Deed for the same Lands last mentioned to the Committee or Trustees to the first Presbiterian Society or Congregation, and that a Deed was accordingly obtained for the Use of One Society Only, which has given great dissatisfaction to the Inhabitants ofsaid Town in general. Wherefore, to End s'd disputes, and that the same may be amicably adjusted and the Use intended by said Letters I'atent be carried into Execution-it is voted and agreed at a very full and public Town Meeting as follows-

1st, That said Deed, so obtained as afs'd from David Young Ileir of the Surviving Trustee men- tioned in s'd Letters patent, is contrary to the real Intent and Desire of the majority of the Heirs and Descendants of the first Settlers of Newark, and to the Spirit and Design of said Letters Patent, and against the Use intended to be thereby granted.

2ndly, That as the Heirs and Descendants of the first Settlers of Newark have three Societys or Con- gregations for the publiek Worship of God-each having a distinet or separate Minister to support -- it is voted and agreed, that the said Lands granted by said Letters patent to lye for a Parsonage be equally divided in Quantity and Quality exclusive of the In- provements made thereon, among said Three Societies or Congregations.

3rdly, It is further voted and agreed, that John Cundit, Bethuel Pierson, Daniel Pierson, Esq'r, James Nutman, John Crane and Elijah Baldwin, or any four of them be Agents to divide and allot said Lands to said Societies or Congregations in manner afs'd, and when so divided and allotted to apply to the Governor, Council and General Assembly, to con- firin the same by a Law to be made for that Purpose to each Society, agreeable to s'd Division for the Use in s'd Letters Patent mentioned.

TOWN MEETING, March 9, 1762-Item-The hon'ble David Ogden Esq'r having signified to the people, that at the Desire of some or all of the four Persons herein after mentioned whom he called Agents for the Town-the other two being those chosen out of the first Presbyterian Church in Newark refusing to be concerned in it-he had drawn a Draught of an Entry proposed to be made at a Town Meeting held !

at Newark on the Ninth Day of March 1762-which he read as follows-

John ('undit, Bethuel Pierson, Daniel Pierson and James Nutman, four of the Persons appointed by a vote of the Inhabitants of this Town of Newark, at their last annual Meeting on the Second Tuesday in March Last, for the dividing of the Parsonage Lands and Meadows Belonging To s'd Town, Made their Report this day of their Haveing so far Executed the Trust in them Reposed as to make a Division of s'd Parsonage Lands and Meadow, which report was read at the Publick Town Meeting held this Day for said Town, and approved of and Confirmed by a majority of the Inhabitants of s'd Town at their s'd Meeting, subject Nevertheless to such Alterations as is herein After Mentioned : which Report is in the Words following, viz: the Question being P'ut, whether the s'd Agents for the Town, or any four of them might receive and Consider the division by them made as afs'd, and Hear such Objections thereto Against the Equality thereof as any Person or Per- sous shall think Proper to offer-and Make all Reasonable Alterations-it was Carried by a Vote of the Majority of s'd Town, and that the s'd Agents for the Town or any four of them Shall and May have 4 Months from this Time to Hear the Objections of any person, or persons within s'dl Town, who shall Think themselves Grieved Against the Equality of s'd divi- sion, and make such alterations therein as shall Be Just and Equal ; and that after the Expiration of s'd four Mouths, the s'd division now Made or such other division as shall within that Time Be Agreed on as afs'd, the s'd agents or any four of them are requested by the Inhabitants of s'd Town to Take all Proper Measures to make Effectual and Binding on all Parties.

A Number of the Principal Members of the first Presbiterian Church in New Ark Objected Against it, and Insisted upon it that the Men was Not Legally Chosen-that the Vote pass'd Last Annual Town Meeting was not fairly obtained-a Majority being at that Time on the Negative, and that there was at Least Two Hundred Persons present at the Town Meeting in March 1760, when the Vote about the Parsonage was so Unanimously Obtained, &e. How- ever, upon Mr. Ogden's and some others strongly urging and repeatedly insisting upon it, the Modera- tor put the Vote and it was carried in the negative by a majority of those present, it being a very full Town Meeting, (viz:) that the Division should not be confirmed even with the Limitations above men- tioned.

TOWN MEETING, March 8th, 1768-Voted by a great majority, That the Parsonage Lands belonging to the Town of Newark be divided between the Three Congregations of the first Settlers of Newark, (to wit) : The first Presbyterian Church in Newark, the Church of England, and the Mountain Society.
