An account of the money paid towards Huntington Patent 1694 .*
[*This list is important as showing who contributed to the purchase of the new patent and the amount paid by each, fur- nishing in part the basis upon which certificates or claims to "hundred pound rights," or fractions thereof, were adjusted. The "rights" or divisions of land secured by these payments did not in all cases go to the persons who paid the money, but were often credited to others who held former "rights," and the money in such cases was paid on account of these former hold- ers, the most of whom had died since the settlement of the

This list of over eighty names is also interesting as showing the principal adult male popula- tion of Huntington at this period. Only a few of the pioneers who came here during the first seven years were left, and the list is made up principally of their children and new comers This list, in connection with other records, would indicate that the population of the town, including men, women and child- ren, was at this time about 500 .- C.

2 C. belonging to y" Lott of Capt. baily & paid for by him.
[*The letter C here stands for "hundred pound rights," or "hundreds" as commonly called. This list of "rights" is di- vided into two classes. First, those who held purchased "hundreds" from the first settlement of the town and a right in all divisions. Second, "gift hundreds," or those who only held rights in future divisions. This scheme carried out the provis- ions of the Fletcher patent. It must be borne in mind, however, that, except as to land already divided out and possessed, the title to all lands was vested in the trustees, and these "rights" are believed to have been nothing more than equitable claims for future grants by the trustees, based on payment of the as- sessments for the purchase of the land. The holders of the "hundreds" could make no valid conveyance without the inter- vention of the trustees, and we shall find that after this time all conveyances or grants of the common lands of the town were made by the trustees .- C. R. S.]

This is the quit-claim made to Huntington by Smithtown. Probably Huntington quit-claimed to Smithtown the territory east of this line, but we have no record of it.
