REPORT OF THE SURVEY OF THE LITTLE SOUTH DIVISION. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 6th, 1763.
PAGE 307. Whereas we, Josiah Pierson, Thomas Sandford Israel Halsey, Jeddediah Howell and Stephen Rogers were appointed and authorized by the trustees to lay out a certain tract, or certain tracts and parcels of land between East Hampton bounds and the Indian line, into 51 lots, quantity & quality, according to the best of our discretion ; pursuant to our trust and appointment we began at or near Wainscott, where there is a piece of land lying between the East Hamp- ton line and the old improved land belonging to Sagg people, which we laid for two lots, viz : No. 1 and No 2; No 1 lies at the South end of said piece of land and is bounded South by the highway going from Abram Pierson to Wainscott, and East by the highway between the two towns, which highway is 4 poles wide from the South end of No 1 to the north end of it, this lot contains about 9 acres. No 2 lies northward and joining to No 1 and is bounded on the east by the high :- way between the two towns above said, and includes all the land from the north end of No 1 to the country road that leads from South to East Hampton, and between the land of Capt. Stephen Topping on the west and a line drawn from the north east corner of No 1 to a stake standing one rod west of the bound stone on the east and contains about 11 acres. Then we laid out 2 lots to wit, No 3 and No 4, on the north side of Anni Flints and Sylvanus Toppings land, and No 3 is bound- ed on the north by the country road, east by Joslah Piersons
209

land, and south partly by said Pierson and partly by Ammi Flints land, and west by No 4, containing about eight acres. No 4 is westward of and joining to No 3 and is bounded north by the country road, south by Sylvanus Toppings lot, and west by the highway or street, and contains about 7 acres, in- cluding a highway of two poles wide, for Ammi Flint (where the path now is) to pass and repass to and from his land ; and there is a piece of land lying at the bottom of the lane at Mea- cox of about 4 acres which we laid as a part of this lot, and is bounded north and west by the highway, east by Elisha How- ells land, and south by the beach. Then we laid out the lot No 5. This lot lyeth between Paul Piersons and Daniel Howells and extends eastward as far as Edward Howells hop- yard, where there stands a stake marked with No 5, (which is the S-E corner of the lot) on the west side, and the letter H for highway on the south side, and the south line of this lot is to run from the stake last mentioned upon a straight line along by the country road to a stake standing about half way to Paul Piersons lot, and from that middle stake upon a direct line to the S-E corner of Paul Piersons lot, and this lot con- tains all the land between the country road and Edward How- ells land, (leaving Daniel Howell a highway two poles wide before his door to extend as far as the east end of his house) and is bounded west by the east side of Paul Piersons lot and the highway to go the Sag Harbor, north by Edward Howell and east by him, and south by the country road, and contains about S acres. Then we proceeded and laid out three lots, No 6, No 7 and No S, at the south or southeast end of Poxa- bogue pond. No 6 lies between No 7 and No S, the east or southeast end coming up to the corner where the roads meet, that is the road that goes from Sagg to Sag Harbor and the country road that goes from South to East Hampton and lies partly upon both, and the north or north west end is bounded by a highway that we laid out along by the pond aforesaid,

and contains about 7 acres. [ PAGE 30S.] No 7 lies north- ward ot No 6 and joining to it, and is bounded east by the highway leading from Sagg to the Harbor, north by a highway which goes from Edward Howells down to the pond, (which highway we laid out and it is 6 rods wide at the east end and 4 rods at the west end) and west by the highway going along the pond side, and contains about S acres. No S lies west of No 6 and joining to it, and is bounded south by the country road, west by a highway which we laid out 5 poles wide be- tween David Hands orchard and said No S, and northerly by the highway going along by the pond, and this lot falling short of its compliment of land, we laid a piece of about two acres lying a little westward of David Hands barn as a part of this lot ; and it is bounded on the north by the highway which we laid from the north-cast corner of David Hands orchard, along on the west side of Poxoboge pond (which highway is 4 poles wide) on the east by common land, south by David Hands lot, and west by a highway which we laid for Daniel Topping, which highway is 3 poles wide at the north end and 2 poles wide at the south end. Then we laid out 4 lots to the east or north east of Poxoboge pond, to wit, No 9, No 10, No 11 and No 12, No 9 lies on the north side of and joining to the highway that goes from Edward Howells down to the pond, and is bounded east by the highway that goes to the harbour, and west by the highway that goes along by John Norrissis into the woods, (which highway we laid 4 poles wide) and this lot contains about 14 acres. No 10 lies northward of and joining to No 9 and is bounded on the east and west as No 9 is, and contains about 11 acres. No 11 lies northward of and joining to No 10 and is bounded on the east and west as No 10 is and contains about 11 acres. No 12 lies north- ward of and joining to No 11 and is bounded east and west as No 11 is and on the north by a highway that was formerly laid out at the south end of the Great South Division lots, and
211
RECORDS : TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
this lot falling short of its compliment of land we laid about S aeres (as a part of it) on the north side of Daniel Toppings land that he bought of Stanborough, and runs west as far as Benjamin Sayres land and is bounded by it, and the north easterly side of the piece of land is to run from a stake stand- ing at Toppings corner above said upon a direct line to a stake standing 7 rods from Ben Sayres corner at the water hole and from that stake it runs west parallel with the north side of said Sayres land until it joins to it. We then proceeded to lay out the remainder of the land on the west side of Poxo- boge pond, as far west as the road that goes from Nathan Norrissis to Daniel Moores, and first we laid out. several high- ways as one of 4 poles wide from the north east corner of Da- vid Hands orchard running about north west until it comes to the stake before mentioned that stands 7 rods from Ben Sayres corner and there the road divides into two branches, one branch of two poles wide runs north easterly to go to Ammi Flints and Dr Tarbells land, and the other branch of two poles wide runs westerly along the north side of Ben Sayres land, and to continue its course along by the fence side as the fence now runs until it comes into the road at the north west cor- ner of Nathan Norrissis lot ; we also laid a passing road of 2 poles wide along on the north side of Daniel Toppings land that he had of Stanbrough as far as the house where Elnathan Wood now lives ; this road goes through that piece of land laid to the lot No 12. [PAGE 309.] We then laid out 3 lots, namely No 13, 14 and 15. No 13 is the eastermost lot and is bounded north by the highway that is laid across the Great South Division lots, east by the pond and Dr Tarbells land, south by the highway running along by the north side of Ben Sayres land, and west by No 14, and contains about 21 acres, including Poxoboge little pond and Ammi Flints highway. No 14 lies westward of and joining to No 13, and is bounded north and south as No 13 is and contains about 14 acres. No
212
RECORDS : TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.
15 lies westward of and joining to No 14, and is bounded north and south as No 14 is and west by the highway going from Nathan Norrissis to Daniel Moores, and this lot not hav- ing a sufficient quantity of land we laid as a part of it about 2 aeres in a triangular form on the west side of the brushy plaine, between the Sag Harbor road and the road that goes along by Joshua Howell's the south end running to a point and the north end is bounded by part of the lot No 18, the whole lot contains about 11 acres. We then proceeded to the brushy plains where we laid out 5 lots to wit, No 16, 17, 18, 19 & No 20, and first we laid a highway of 4 poles wida along the west side of Nathan Norrissis lot to the N-W corner ot it, and it continues from there down to Daniel Moores as the path now runs ; we also laid the Sag Harbor road 4 rods wide as the path now runs ; we then laid two lots No 16 and 17 between these two roads fronting up to the country road, and the north end of them is bounded by the lot No 18, and they contain about 6 acres apiece, No 16 being the eastmost of those two lots. No IS lies northward of and joining to No 16 and No 17 and is bounded on the east and west, as they are, and north by the lot No 20, and part of this lot No 18 lies on the west side of the harbor road and is bounded north by No 19, west by the highway going by Joshua Howells & south by part of the lot No 15 as before mentioned, and this lot contains about 10 acres in the whole. No 19 lies between the harbor road and the road going along by Joshua Howells, and the north bounds is the highway across the South Divi- sion lots, and southerly bounded by part of No 18 and cou- tains about 93 acres. No 20 lies between the Harbor road and the road going to Daniel Moores, and is bounded south by No 18, and north by the highway across the South Divi- sion lots, and contains about 12 acres. Having finished Brushy plaine, we then proceeded to the cleared land before the Widdow Toppings door by the Wind mills, where we laid
