First-That All patented and other appropriated Lands are (in the Field Books and Maps) distinguished by the Numbers 1-2-3 and so on regularly upwards to Number 179.
Second-That all Lots of Common Land as allotted to the respec- tive Patents upon the General Partition are (in the Field Books & Maps) distinguished by the Numbers 201-202-203 and so on regularly upwards to Number 287.
Third-That all Subdivisions of Common Land are (in the Field Books and Maps) distinguished by the Numbers 301-302 -303 & so on regularly upwards to Number 431.
Note-The Lots of Common Laid out to the Patents upon the Gene- ral Partition are mark'd out and delineated on the schedules A & B by BLACK Lines, and the Subdivisions made of the said Lots are mark'd out & distinguish'd on both the said Schedules by PRICK'D Lines.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FIELD-BOOKS
Of the PARTITION and DIVISION of the COMMON LANDS
Which have been allotted to each respective Patent or Grant within the Bounds & Limits of the Township of Bergen-Made in pursuance of a Law of the Province of New Jersey in America, pass'd in the fourth Year of the Reign of his present Majisty King George the third,-Entitled " An Act appointing Commissioners for finally setling and determining the several Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of the Town- ship of Bergen and for making a Partition thereof in just & equitable Proportions among those who shall be adjudged by the said Commission- ers to be Entitled to the same." The General Partition by the said Act directed having been compleated as the same is recorded in the First Part of this book. We Charles Clinton, William Donaldson, Azariah Dunham, John Berrien & Abraham Clark Junr., five of the Commissioners named in the said Act did make and subscribe a Notice in the words following, to wit ;
" To all whom these Presents may concern and particularly to such " as claim any Interest in the Common Lands of the Township of Bergen " in the County of Bergen in the Province of New Jersey :
" Thereas by a late Law of the Colony of New Jersey entitled an " Act appointing Commissioners for finally setling and determining the " several Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of the Town- " ship of Bergen and for making a Partition thereof in just & equitable " Proportions among those who shall be adjudged by the said Commis- " sioners to be entitled to the same. Certains Persons are therein named " as Commissioners of whom we the Subscribers are the Major Part, And " whereas such of the Commissioners as took upon them the Execution " of said Law did meet in the said Township of Bergen pursuant to " public Notice thereof given agreeable to the Directions of the said Law " and did run out & ascertain as well the Bounds and Limits of the said " Township of Bergen as the Bounds and Limits of each and every " Patent and Grant contained within the Bounds and Limits of the said " Township as came to the Knowledge of the Commissioners.

As by the same original Notice filed in the Office of the Clerk of the County of Bergen may appear-A true Copy of which said Notice was printed and published in two of the public News Papers commonly called the New York Gazette & Mercury, to wit, in the Gazette Numbers 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, & 305, and in the Mercury Numbers 665, 666, 667, 668, 669, 670, 671, 672, 673, 674, 675, & 676, as by the same News Papers refference being thereto had may appear. Copies of which said Notice were also affixed on the Court House in Hackinsack and the Church in Bergen.
And we the said five Commissioners having met pursuant to the said Notice and before ent'ring upon the Execution of the Business being joined by Jacob Spicer We the said six Commissioners with George Clinton one of our Surveyors (Jonathan Hampton the other Surveyor having been notified and not attending) did proceed to the Subdivision of the Common Lands which have been allotted to each respective Patent or Grant within the Bounds and Limits of the said Township of Bergen.
And here we think it needful to observe-That inasmuch as the Field Work or Surveys of the Subdivision which are to be recorded in this Second Bart of the Field Book cannot be laid down and represented on the Schedule or Map of the General Partition without rendering (in many Respects) the whole Map unintelligible, We have therefore found it necessary to annex (to the Schedule of the General Partition) two other Schedules protracted from a larger Scale for the Purpose of the Subdivision. Which three Schedules together, do form and make up the onte whole map. One of these Schedules of the Subdivision we have distinguished by the Title " Schedule ," and the other by the Title " Schedule 13," And upon these * two Schedules we have laid down and represented the Surveys of the whole Subdivision.
$125
And We think it further necessary in Regard to these two Schedules of the Subdivision to observe once for all-That as each and every of the
197
COMMON LANDS.
Lots of Common Land which have been allotted to the respective Patents upon the General Partition are represented on the Schedule or Map of the said General Partition, and are there respectively distinguished by a particular Number, So we have laid down each and every of these Lots in their Order upon the two Schedules of the Subdivision and have there distinguished them by the very same Numbers as they are respectively distinguished on the said Schedule or Map of the General Partition ex- cepting a few small Lots of Common Land lying in and about the Town which may be seen in the Town Plot on the Map of the General Partition.
And these Things being premised We proceeded in the Business of the Subdivision and that in the Order following, to wit,
With Respect to the Lot of Common Land which has been allotted, To the Patent of Wiehaken granted by William Kieft to Maryn Adrianse, dated the eleventh Day of May one thousand six hundred and forty seven, and confirm'd by patent from Philip Carteret to said Maryn Adrianse dated the eighteenth Day of April one thousand six hundred and seventy, being that Lot of Common Land which in the Field Book & Map of the General Partition is distinguished by the Number 201.
William Bayard Esq' claimed the said Lot, and upon Examina- tion of his Title we conceive him to be the true Proprietor And do therefore adjudge the said Allotment to belong to him.
With Respect to the three Lots of Common Land which have been allotted To the Patent of Hobocken granted by Petrus Stuyvesant to Nicholas Varlet dated the fifth Day of February one thousand six hundred and * sixty three, and * 126 confirm'd by Patent from Philip Carteret to said Nicholas Varlet dated the twelfth Day of May One thousand six hun- dred & sixty eight, being these three Lots of Common Land, which in the Field Book & Map of the General Partition are distinguished by the Numbers 233, 203 & 219.
