No 32 lies southward of and adjoining to John Fosters wood land and is bounded east by the highway which we laid be- tween this amnndment and the improved land, south by com- mon land, and west by the main road going to North Sea, containing about 9 acres. No 33 lies on the west side of North Sea main road, and is bounded north by John Fosters wood land, west by Samuel Hunttings land, and south by John Jaggers land allowing a highway ot 4 poles wide to go through it, from the northwest corner of John Jaggers land to the main road going to North Sea as it is now staked out, con- taining about 9 acres.


We then proceeded to the northwest corner of Samuel Wieks close, (that lies on the road as you go to mill stone brook) and from thence on a direct line to the N-E corner of David Raynors lot, and so from thenee westward along on the north side of the lot to the Indian line, and between said Ray- nors lot and Thos Scotts we laid nine amendments, to wit, No 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 10, 41 & 42 all butting on the In-

dian line and east on the Mill Stone Brook road. No 34 lies northward of and joining to David Raynors lot and is 16 poles wide at the east end upon the mill stone brook road. No 35 lies northward of and joining to No 34 and is 16 poles wide at the east end, and by reason of the swamp we could not set up the stake between these two amendments at the west end nor measure their width, but they are to have all the land from the N-W corner of David Raynors lot to the stakes marked 35 on the south side and 36 on the north side equally between them. Then No 36 is northward of and joining to No 35 and is 16 poles wide at the east end and 25} poles at the west end. No 37 is northward of and joining to No 36 and is 16 po'es wide at the east end and is 243 poles at the west end. No 3S is northward of and joining to No 37 and is 15 poles wide at the east end and 24} poles at the west end. No 39 is north ward of and joining to No 3S and is 15 poles wide at the east end and 24 poles at the west end. No 40 is northward of and joining to No 39 and is 15 poles wide at the east end and 243 poles at the west end. No 41 is northward of and joining to No 40 and is 14 poles wile at the east end and 23 poles at the west end. No 42 is northward of and joining to No 41 and is 16 poles wide at the east end and 23 poles at the west end, and the north line of this amendment is to run from the northwest corner of it, (which is 6 rods southward of Thom- as Seotts corner,) to the middle of a hole of water (called Ma- ple tree hole) a little way southeast from Thomas Scotts door, and from the middle of said hole of water upon a direct line PAGE 318] to a stake standing on Millstone brook road allow- ing Thomas Scott liberty to come in at the north east corner with his eart and to go in the most convenient place to get to his house when the highway along by the widow Luptons is not passible to cart in ; also allowing Mr. White or whosoever after him shall improve the parsonage land at Sebounuck, a passing road to eart (not to ride or rive) in, to come in at the

west end and slant away southeasterly where the path now is if most convenient until it comes into the main road that goes to Sebounuck which main road is to be an open road of 4 poles wide, as the path now runs. Then we laid out two amendments on the east side of David Raynors lot namely No 43 and No 44. And No 43 lies southward of and joining to No 34 and is bounded east by the Millstone Brook road, south by No 44, and west by David Raynors lot, the east end of this amendment is 50 poles, north side 74, and the west end 30 poles. No 44 is southward of and joining to No 43, and is bounded east and west as No 43 is, and south by common land, the east end of this amendment is 59} poles the west end 42 poles, allowing the proprietors forever here- after liberty to dig clay and make and burn brick in any of the eleven last mentioned amendments, in any place where clay may be found. We then laid out the amendment No 45 which lies at the west end of John Reeves land, running west- ward to the Indian line, the south side is 4S poles long, join- ing to the parsonage land, west end 22 poles, the north side GS poles, which brings it parallel with the west end of John Reeves land. No 46 lies northward of and joining Reeves land and is the length of it, and is 3S poles wide at the west end bounded by No 45, 70 poles at the north side bounded by highway and comn:on land, and 3S poles at the east end and bounded by common land.


No 47 lies to the eastward of John Reeves, Sam Wicks and Jesse Culvers land leaving a 6 pole highway from the northeast corner of Reeves land to Jesse Culvers north bars, and there it comes into a 4 pole highway which comes slanting up from the N-E corner of Jo Fosters lot leaving a tri- angle on the southwest side of it joining to Jo Fosters lot and Jesse Culvers land (this triangle is part of the amend- ment) and this highway from the northeast corner of Jo Fos- ters lot is 4 poles at the west end and 5 poles wide at the east

end, where it comes into the highway coming from the south west corner of Jo Sayres lot, and this amendment is bounded on all sides with highways and common land. No 4S lies in the vacancy between Jo Sayres and Jo Fosters lot and is bounded east north and south by highways, and west by Jo Fosters, and this amendment falling short of its complement of land we laid as a part of it a piece of land at the bottom of William Whites lane, and it is about 2 rods wide at the north end running up southward to Stephen Pierces land and shoots by eastward near 2 rods and contains about 2 acres. No 49 lies in 2 pieces, one piece lies before David Cooks shop door containing about 2 acres, bounded all round by highways, the other piece lies in the lane before Daniel Browns docr and co: . tains about 2 acres, and is bounded west by Mitchels land, north by Tim Browns land, east by the highway, the south end coming almost to a point.


PAGE 319. No 50 lies on the south side of Josiah Piersons land that lies on the country road as you go to East Hampton, running the whole length of his front leaving him a 2 pole highway against his bars and a 2 pole highway at the east end joining to Mr David Piersons land and contains about 33 acres. The amendment No 51 lies in 2 piece, one pieces lies by Elnathan Pains house and is bound ed south and west by highway, and north by Elisha Halseys land, the east end comes almost to a point just westward of Pains house, and contains 3 acres more or less, the other piece lies in Swan Creek lane at Meacox, containing about 1 acre and & more or less bounded west by Mr Elisha Pain, north by Daniel Skellenger, east by the highway, and south by the beach, and it is agreed upon by us the layers out that the Indian or Mulatto houses that stand upon any of the above lots or amendments, the owners of them shall have lib- erty to move them off if they cant agree with the owners of the land. And from the consideration of the situation of and


229

the difference in respect to quality of various pieces of land we had to lay out we found it impracticable to lay the amend- ments so that No 1 should be drawn with No 1 in the lors & No 2 with No 2 &c, but have disposed them in the following manner,

NOTES ON THE SURVEY OF THE LITTLE SOUTH DIVISION.


The report of the survey of the Little South Division, for its explicit minuteness, may challenge comparison with any- thing of the kind recorded in Suffolk County. But after the lapse of more than a hundred years, it is not surprising that most of the landmarks should have become obliterated, and the difficulty of identifying the various lots and amendments can

only be appreciated by those who have attempted a similar task.
