Bounded northwardly by Moriches path West by Setuk Brook & River Southwardly by the Bay & the Land formerly laid out Eastwardly by Apocock River. And according to the power given us and the trust reposed in us, we proceded to Lay out ye above sd land and Meadow in the following man- ner, (vis) We Began at Setuck with No 1 Increasing Eastward to No 49 along by the south side of Moriches path which 49 lots run down the three necks; No 1 on the west side is bounded with a stake standing a small distance from ye east

side of the swamps marked with No 1 on the east side thereof and so runs down the neck adjoining to the Meadow on the west side, and to No 2 on the E side, and the reason why this lot doth not ly to the brook for its W bounds, is because the stream is reserved for a Mill, but as long as there is no Mill or mill pond there, the lot No 1 may adjoin to the Brook, but it shall and may be lawfull for the town, or any by their au- thority to set a Mill upon that stream, make a Dam and raise a pond on any part of the said lot No 1, and it shall not be accounted any tresspass on the said lot and also dig earth to make and maintain a Dam in any parts of sd lot at any time or times hereafter. And the above said 49 lots run down the above said three necks where each lot is bounded by stakes or trees marked and numbered, Beginning with No 2, increas- ing eastward to No 49, which No 49 lics on the east of the neck called the Basket Neck ; and after we had laid out the above said 49 lots of upland we laid out 49 Lots of meadow which are to be drawn with the 49 lots of upland, and each lot of meadow hath the same number with the lot of upland to which it belong. But only on the midle neck and in the east of Basket neck the lots of upland are witnessed with the letter N. But the lots of meadow in the above said necks have no such witness, ueither is there any such Distinguish- ing character between the lots of meadow and upland in Se- tuck neck.
We began with No 1 of meadow on the west side of Setuck increasing round the neck to No 7, and on the N side of No 7 and adjoining to it we laid an amendment to the lot No 1 and PAGE 204] marked the stake with No 1, and all the meadows northward of sd amendment to the Going over of the River on the W side of the same lies for amendments to the lots No 2 & No 3, and then we proceeded to lay out 16 lots of mead- ow in the second or middle neck to the 16 lots of upland in the said neck, Beginning on the W side of sd middle or second

And then we proceded to lay out 27 lots of meadow to the 27 lots of upland in the last of basket neck beginning on the west side of said neck increasing southwardly to the bottom of the neck and so round the bottom and up the east side as far as there is any meadow, Beginning with No 24 and ending with No 38, and the lots No 19 & 20 are to have the several small islands of meadow that lie near the mouth of the gut or fishing creek at the S ward end of the great pond, and part of the Lot No 2S lies on the westward side of sd neck and the remainder of it on the eastward side within Capt Halseys fence & 38 is to have all the meadow N ward of the stake No 37, 38 up to the highway quite across the upland E ward.
