[*There had been a long standing contention between this town and the proprietors of Eaton's Neck concerning the title to Duck Island, and this deed was the result of a compromise which had been made between the parties and approved some time before by a vote of the people at a Town Meeting. Alex- ander Bryan owned lands in the town other than on Eaton's Neck, and was closely indentified with the town, having held many responsible offices here, among them that of a Town Trustee. As was recited in the resolution passed at the Town Meeting, he " desired to live in peace and quietness with his neighbors." His course was in striking contrast with that of the proprietors of Lloyd's Neck, who asserted their claims, un- der their colonial patents, with great vigor and persistence. -C. R. S.]
