started west across the other three meridians which completed the boundaries of sixteen townships. Beyond this they carried on their parallels until they reached the Chagrin River on the 23d. All of them believed this to be the ('nyahoga, which they were directed not to pass. Holly being on the most northerly parallel. between Kirtland and Mentor, commenced a traverse of the stream expecting to meet General Cleveland at the mouth. The Chagrin River was not on their maps. Anticipating this trouble. Porter, with a party, came from the Cuyahoga by boats to the Chagrin, with provisions and directions to go up the river and inform the survey- ors. Holly met this party not far from the lake, where he greeted his friend and future brother-in-law, Porter, who returned to Cleve- land the same night. Pease and Stoddard's line between towns 7 and 8. or Newburg and Cleveland, intersected the east line of the Cleveland ont-lots at the corner of Wilson avenue and Cedar street. As these were fractional towns. the sub-divisions were made as one tract, the lots numbered from 268 to 486. Holly turned back and ran east on the eleventh parallel to the State line at the north-east corner of Richmond. Ashtabula county. The range and town lines north of the sixth parallel were nearly all surveyed in 1796. Some lot lines were run for purchasers in Mentor, and the fifth parallel was extended west from range eight to the Cuyahoga on the 6th of September. This was done by Pease in order to examine the town of Bedford, which was regarded as particularly valuable. With this exception all the space south of the sixth parallel and east of the Cuyahoga was untouched in 1796. The ten-aere lots around the city of Cleveland were not surveyed until 1797. Hav- ing finished the city plats and the 100-aere lots in Newburg and Cleveland on the 17th of October, the Cleveland parties joyfully took boats for home at 3:17 o'clock in the afternoon, having accomplished much less than the directors and stockholders expected of them. In 1786 the State of Connecticut had her title to the Reserve so well assured, that she resolved to sell that por- tion east of the Cuyahoga River at three shillings an aere. In 1788 a land company was formed to make purchases of the State, of which General Samuel H. Parsons, of Middletown, was the
75

leader and manager. He had served with credit through the Revo- lutionary War, and under the ordinance of 1787 had been ap- pointed one of the judges of the Territory. Captain Jonathan Heart, of Berlin, Conn., afterwards major in the First United States Infantry, also a tried soldier, commanded a company stationed at Venango, Pa., in Colonel Harmar's battalion, United States troops. Captain Heart explored the country east of the Cuyahoga, and enabled General Parsons to locate 24,000 acres at the Salt Springs, on the Meander, two miles south of Niles, in Mahoning county. He also located a tract of land where Cleveland was laid out in 1796, embracing a quarter of a township; but no surveys were made of any part of the Parsons' patent. In November, 1789, Judge Parsons was drowned at the falls of the Big Beaver, and his papers lost. He had just parted with Heart at the Salt Springs, who followed the trail west to the Cuyahoga, thence to its mouth, the site of his future town, and down the lake to Erie. The death of the organizer of this company led to the abandonment of every- thing except the Salt Springs tract. Only two years later Major Heart was killed in the unfortunate battle under General St. Clair.
In its forest condition this region was very prolifie in snakes. The notes of the survey contain frequent mention of them, particu- larly the great yellow rattlesnake. In times of drouth they seek streams and moist places, and were frequently seen with their brilliant black and orange spots crossing the lake beach to find water. Joshua Stow, the commissary of the survey, had a positive liking for snake meat. Holly could endure it when provisions were short. General Cleveland was disgusted with snakes, living or cooked, and with those who cooked them. They were more numerous because the Indians had an affection or a superstitious reverence for them, and did not kill them. Having finished the first four meridians the four inland parties arranged themselves on the first meridian to run the parallels west, after having run east to the Pennsylvania line and established the township corners, as above noted. Spafford and Stoddard ran the Sth parallel, which came to the cast line of Cleveland, along what is now Cedar avenue. Holly returned to the 9th parallel at the west side of
76
ANNALS OF THE
range 8, and there ran north to the lake. Between Concord and Painesville he turned east on the 10th parallel, or fifty miles from the base, and ran to the Pennsylvania line at the north boundary of Pierrepont. Thus they proceeded vigorously with their work, frequently measuring and marking twelve miles a day, until all the territory north of the 6th parallel west to the Cuyahoga had been surveyed into townships, fixing the corners where the lines crossed each other. Holly mentions one case where his line fell 20 chains 88 links south of the post set by Warren. On the 6th of Septem- ber Pease was on the sixth parallel and the eighth meridian, where he ran south one town and then west to the Cuyahoga, between Northfield and Independence. The sub-division of the city of Cleveland into lots was begun on the 21st of September, and com- pleted in October.
In the meantime, as parties could be spared, the one hundred acre lots that surrounded the ten (10) acre lots at Cleveland were surveyed, and the month of the Cuyahoga abandoned on the 17th of . October. South of the sixth parallel and west of the fourth meridian was untouched. except the three towns which Pease and Warren had partly surveyed. The employes did not regard their wages as a sufficient compensation for their labor and exposures, in wading swamps and streams, battling with mosquitoes, and at times somewhat empty at the stomach. A strike occurred at Cleveland in September, which was arranged on the 29th by a com- paet under which the township of Euclid was disposed of to them. Neither Moses Cleaveland, the general agent, Joshua Stow, the commissary, Augustus Porter, the chief surveyor, or John Milton Holly. surveyor, returned to the surveys in 1797.
Seth Pease was then surveyor-in-chief, with Moses Warren, Warham Shepherd, Amos Spafford, Amzi Atwater, and Nathan Redfield surveyors. The city of Cleveland was allotted in 1796, and the fractional towns of Newburg and Cleveland. In 1797, the ten-acre out lots of Cleveland, with three leading roads through them, were surveyed, and the townships of Northfield, in Summit. county ; Bedford and Warrensville in Cuyahoga; and Perry, in Lake county, were sub-divided in tracts of 100 acres each. The

parallels south of No. 6, were run to the Pennsylvania line, and the meridians from range 4 to the Cuyahoga. Beyond this river they would be in Indian territory. It was a season of much sickness, and of great hardships compared with 1796. William Andrews, Andrew Bicknell, and Pete Washburn died of malarial fever. Joseph Tinker and Daniel Eldridge were drowned. Before the season's work was done, a boat-load of fourteen weak, sick, and dispirited men left Cleveland for their Connecticut homes. In the bound volume of early manuscript maps at the historical rooms, there is a skeleton plat of the Reserve east of the Cuyahoga, on which the variation of the magnetic needle is written for nearly every township. There are signs attached to nearly all of them showing whose compass was used, such as Pease's, Porter's, and Stoddard's ; and there are besides, in the field notes of the survey- ors, frequent memoranda of the observed variations, in 1796 and 1797. In the abstracts here given I do not give each observation nor the precise date, but where there is more than one in a town- ship, give the mean. They were obliged frequently to run several days on an assumed variation. Holly's compass, on the first meridian, carried him nearly half a mile too far west. He ran parallels 10, 11, and 12 at 1º 10', 1º 15", and 1º 20', where other compasses show 1° 20', 1º 26', and 1° 30'. An error of 15 minutes, or ¿ of a degree, would cause a departure of 40 links in a mile, and in five miles two (2) chains. Seth Pease, in his diary of July, 1797, referring to the workings of the compass, says : "From observations made on the various compasses I find I cannot reduce them to a common standard, being differently affected at different places. Of two on the Cuyahoga River, twenty miles south of the lake, one was to the left (west) of the other ten (10) minutes. At Cleveland the one which was to the left stood fifteen minutes to the right, although they were not compared at precisely the same hour of the day."
In several instances the surveyors of 1796-7 ran their lines on an assumed variation owing to the differences of their compasses, and the irregularity of their observed variations. Such discrepan- cies are familiar to all surveyors. The variations on the south
78

line of the Reserve for 1810 were carefully taken by Colonel Jared Mansfield, Surveyor General of the United States, at a time when mathematical knowledge and field practice were considered neces- sary qualifications for that office. The late I. N. Pillsbury, C. E., is authority for part of the later observations in Cuyahoga county, and the county surveyors for those in other counties.

CLEVELAND, August, 1883.
DAYS OF BOYHOOD.
I've wandered through the village, Tom, I've sat beneath the tree, Upon the school-house playing ground, That sheltered you and me ; Yet none are left to greet me, Tom, But few are left to know, That played with us upon the green, In boyhood, long ago!
The river's running just as still, The willows by its side Are larger than they were, dear Tom, The stream appears less wide; The grape-vine swing is ruined now Where once we played the beau, And swung our sweethearts-pretty girls- In boyhood, long ago !
My eyes had long been dry, dear Tom But tears came in my eyes, With thoughts of her I loved so well, The grief of broken ties ; I visited the old church-yard, And took some flowers to strew Upon the graves of those we loved In boyhood, long ago !
