Alexander McLaughlin, (sometime between May and October, 1809, ) subdivided lots nine, ten and eleven, in the eighth square, making five lots and a ten foot alley. This plat is very imperfect, there being no date to the plat or to the record, and no signature or acknowledge- ment to the plat.
William C. Kirker, April 22, 1833, subdivided. lot sixteen in the ninth square into five lots front- ing on Main street, leaving a narrow alley in the rear of them ; and on December 17, 1850, B. F.

James Taylor, August 7, 1840, subdivided the east parts of lots one and two, in square eleven, into three lots, and January 9, 1849, John Dillon, as Master Commissioner, divided lots one and two of this subdivision into two lots.

David J. Marple subdivided lots nine, ten, eleven and twelve in the eleventh square into ten lots, five fronting on Main street and five fronting Fifth street. There is also included a reservation of ten feet wide, lying south of the Main street lots, and now used as a private alley. There is no date to this plat, and neither signa- ture nor acknowledgement. It was recorded January 22, 1822. It is frequently called the "Bank subdivision."

Shortly after the town of Zanesville was laid out, Messrs. Zane and McIntire aparted the res- idue of Zane's Grant. That portion immediately adjoining the town on the north and extending from Seventh street to the river, became the property of John McIntire, and the part north of it, lying between a line drawn from Elm street west and the river, was conveyed to Zane.
March 21, 1855, the administrators of the es- tate of John McIntire laid out that portion of this part of Zane's Grant which lies between Seventh and Third streets. The subdivision was called the "Northern Addition," containing fifty-six lots. The streets and alleys were made to cor- respond with the streets and alleys in the original town. The square bounded by Sixth, North, Fifth and Center streets, containing a little more than two acres, was dedicated for school pur- poses.
September 24, 1862, McIntire's administra- tors laid out "Northern Addition No. 2," em- bracing the land between Third street and Beech alley and North street and the railroad, into nine lots, numbered consecutively from fifty-seven to sixty-five. both inclusive, and an alley 16} feet wide.
The Zane tract lying north, consisting of twenty-three and a half acres, in a triangular form, was purchased by David J. Marple, and was, by him, July 21, 1810, divided into seven lots of from two and a half to about four acres in size. These lots have always been designated as out lots in "Marple's River Bottom."
Daniel Brush, as proprietor, July 3, 1843, sub- divided outlot one, Marple's river bottom, calling it "Howard's sub-division," by which name it has since been known. He laid out six lots, fronting on the south side of Water street ; four lots front Court street, which street he made thirty-three feet wide ; and one lot fronting the east side of Fourth street, leaving a small trian-

gular piece west of Fourth street. The land ly- ing on the river bank north of Water street he divided into five lots, calling them "River Bank lots."

John Hall's third addition, also part of out-lot three, is a lot thirty-seven feet square, on the west side of Fifth street, and one lot 37x132 feet fronting the east side of Fifth street. It was made June 2, 1842.

G. A. Jones' addition is also a part of outlot four, consisting of six lots fronting the west side of Sixth street, south of what is known as the "old Rope Walk lot." The plat is dated Febru- ary 18, 1850.
John R. Howard, January 8, 1836, sub-divided a part of outlot five, which sub-division was called by the name of "Howard street lots." Two lots front Fifth street, north of Howard ; thirteen lots front the north side of Howard street ; three lots front Seventh street ; a large lot, running from Fifth street nearly to Seventh street on the south of Howard street, is called the rope walk lot. It
has since been cut up, by reason of Sixth street and the alleys being extended north to Howard street ; the east end of Howard street is the shape of an arc of a circle, the center point of which, in the original plat, was north of the street, but the Common Pleas Court at the April term, 1837, upon petition of John R. Howard, changed it so the center of the circle would fall south of the street.
Paper Mill Addition .- This addition was made April 1, 1861, and was formed by a sub-division of Marple's outlots six and seven, made by James L. Cox, George Rishtine, C. R. Hubbell and Elizabeth M.

John McIntire, March 23, 1809, laid out a tier of lots fronting the west side of River street, which were numbered on the recorded plat from one to twenty inclusive. Several years after- wards it was discovered that the lots had been deeded as if in squares of eight lots to the square, while there were no squares designated on the recorded plat. This led to a great confusion in the conveyances, which was remedied by a special act of the Legislature passed March 2, 1838 (Local Laws 1838, p. 156), which declared that the recorded plat should govern.
The administrators of John McIntire, March 12, 1861, laid out twelve lots north of lot twenty, fronting the west side of River street, which were numbered from twenty-one to thirty-two, both inclusive.
