The offer of the commissioners having been accepted, the following warrant was issued :

"BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF PROPERTY.

" Pennsylvania :

[SEAL.] "Whereas, Cornelius Empson and divers others, ye Inhabitants of this province herein after mentioned have requested us that we would grant them to take up a certain tract of land in this province, situate between the main branch of North East river and Octorara creek, for which they have agreed to pay eight pounds for every 100 acres within one year after the date hereof, and 18. sterling for a yearly quit rent for every 100 acres forever after, or in case of non-payment of the sd money that they shall hold the sd land under ye yearly rent of 2 bushels of good winter wheat for every 100 acres, to be paid yearly at some navigable water or landing place on Dela- ware, ye sd rent to commence within one year after the date hereof.

In pursuance of this warrant a large tract of 18,000 acres was laid out in the 3d month (May), 1702, com- mencing at a point seven and one-half miles, or thereabouts,

west of the northeast corner of Maryland, and extending thence to the Octorara, a distance of about ten miles. The south line was nearly straight, but there were offsets in the. north line, which were probably made to include good land and leave out some of the .. " barrens." In the widest part the tract extended about three miles from north to south. A street or road was laid out through the middle, running parallel to the south line, and the tract was again divided by lines extending north and south from the street. There were thirty-seven of these divisions, so that they contained, on an average, somewhat less than 500 acres each. As in- timated in the warrant, we may suppose that the purchasers drew lots for their shares; but, there being twice as many divisions as at first proposed, it happened that a purchaser of 1000 acres had to take two tracts, which in many cases did not lie contiguous. From a draught the following appears to have been the result of the lottery :

Lots 1, 2, and 3, at the west end, are not named, but 2 and 3 are supposed to have been John Guest's; No. 4, at the southwest corner, Edward Beeson. Theo, commencing at the northwest corner, and pro- ceeding eastward, we have No. 5, Henry Reynolds; 6, John Rich- ardson; 7, proprietary ; 8, Cornelius Empson ; 9, proprietary ; 10, Ebenezer Empson ; 11, Joel Baily; 12, Jas. Cooper; 13, proprie- tary ; 14, James Brown; 15, Randal Janney; 16 and 17, John Churebman. Then, returning to the south west corner, and procceding castward on the south side of the street, we bave lot No. 18, adjoin- ing No. 4, both in the name of Edward Bceson ; 19, Henry Reynolds; 20, John Richardson ; 21, proprietary ; 22, Ebenezer Empson ; 23, William Brown ; 24, Cornelius Empson ; 25, proprietary ; 26, James Cooper, partly opposite No. 12; 27, James Brown; 28, William Brown, opposite No. 14; 29, Robert Dutton and Samuel Littler; 30, a common lot reserved for a mecting-house; 31, Robert Dutton and Samuel Littler; 32, Andrew Joh; 33, William Brown ; 34, Randal Janney ; 35, Andrew Job, the southeast corner; 36 and 37, a double lot, on the north side of the street, and opposite the last three, John Bales (or Beals), being also next to Jobn Churebman, No. 17.

Messer Brown's name is not mentioned in the draught, but his father's, William Brown's, being given three times, it is probable that the shares of both are in the father's name. 1 Messer (or, more properly, Mercer) was not then of age. The main branch of North-East Creek passed through lots Nos. 13, 14, and 28. The brick meeting-house stands on the north end of lot No. 30. This large tract is said to have received the name of Nottingham when first laid out, and it was doubtless so called in remembrance of the town or county of Nottingham in England. It was supposed to be in Pennsylvania, but when the line was finally deter- mined the greater part of the tract fell into Maryland. To those who are somewhat familiar with the line, it may be interesting to know that the eighth mile-stone stands on and near the north side of John Beals' double lot. The ninth mile-stone is not within the original survey, there being an offset here of near a mile in width. The tenth mile-stone stands on John Churchman's lot No. 16; the eleventh on James Brown's lot No. 14; the twelfth on James Cooper's lot No. 12; the thirteenth on Ebenezer Empson's lot No. 10; the fourteenth on the north end of Cornelius Empson's No. 8. Owing, no doubt, to the vari- ation of the compass, the lines, which were intended to be parallel to the Maryland line, run a little south in going westward, and although the north line of lots Nos. 5 to 10 was straight, it crosses the State line between the fourteenth and fifteenth mile-stones. Lots 11 to 16 were bounded on

the north by a straight line, which at its eastern end is a- little more than three-quarters, but at the western end less. than half a mile, north of the line.

The land to the northward of these lots was described as " back of Nottingham," and was subsequently taken up. in various-sized and mostly irregular tracts by settlers, and was at length included in the township of Nottingham.

The early surveys were for a long time known by the distinctive appellation of "Nottingham Lotts."

" To the Board of Property in Philadelphia :

"The Representation & Petition of a number of the inhabitants of Esst & West Nottingham townsbips, in Chester county, who possess the Northern part of the land called Nottingham Lotta " Respectfully Sheweth,-

"That Wheregs, at the Instance and Request of a certain Corne- lius Empson, on behalf of himself and sixteen others in Company, a Warrant was granted by the Commissioners of Property for William Penn, Esquire, Proprietor end Governor, bearing date the 7th of the first month 1701, for laying out about 18,000 acres of Land, situate towards Octorara creek, which within six months after was surveyed, divided into upwards of 30 Lotts, called Nottingham, and quickly settled. The situation whereof happened to be on & near the Boun- dary between the Provinces of Pennsylvania and Maryland; which boundary then & for many years afterwards, remained unsettled; Doubts arising between the Proprietaries respecting the same, which appears to have prevented the Purchase Money being received from the sottlers, and Patents being issued to confirm the lunds to them according to the original contract ; offers having heen made (as we. find) on their part at divers times within the course of 30 years after the settlement, for a Compliance with their agreement, which did not. avnil. And Whereas on the settlement of the Boundary Line in latter Time, twenty of those Lotts, called 490 acres each, (besides two double Lotts of 980 geres each, at the West End towards the River Susque - hanna), fell entirely into Maryland, together with the Major part of . the remaining nine Lotts and two double Lotts; leaving of the whole . only the Quantity of 1200 acres and the usual Allowance or there- abouts in Pennsylvania ; being the Northern part of the last men- tioned Lotts, as may appear by a Draught of the same herewith to be exhibited; wbich remainder is chiefly of the thinnest Part of the Land. And Wherens Times of Commotion & Difficulty bappened to . commence near the Time when the said Boundary Line was con- firmed, preventing for some years our application to have those Lands confirmed to us which we hold in right of our Predecessors under the above hinted description, and being now desirous to have- tbem confirmed we have agreed to represent our case herein to the Board of Property : and as it will (perhaps) appear different from . the case of located Lands not Patented in other Parts of the State, for the Reasons above, we request you will be pleased to take the same under consideration and view the circumstances relative thereto; some further of which with submission we crave Liberty to mention,-

" Ist. It appears by a Minute of the Commissioners of Property aforesaid, made about 8 weeks before the Date of the Warrant, they considered that in those carly times advantage might arise to the Proprietaries Interest from a Grant & settlement of those Lands, hy rendering the adjacent Barreny Landa more valuable and encourag- ing settlements on Snaquehanna. 2d, It also appears that within the' time proposed a number of our Predecessora did remove hither, en- during much bardship by taking their Families what was then ac- counted a great Distance back in the wilderness beyond the other Inhabitants, and therefore remote from supplies of necessary Pro- visions, having themselves a Road to clear near forty miles, where no Road was before, and being subject to many other Difficulties; faoili- tating the settlement of other Proprietary Lands in those Parts of a mean Quality, whereby the Interest. growing on the purchase money stipulated for those Lands hath been increased to much larger suma than would otherwise have been : And Lastly we conceive by the Tenor of our Predecessora Agreement, that if the Purchase money which they contracted for on account of those Lands was not paid .. within the time limited, the Purchasers were obliged to hold the Lands subject to an annual Quit rent payable in wheat; And a Law having passed or been enacted by the Legislature to abolish or take away Quit rents, in Lieu whereof additional Land Taxes: have been

levied and collected on the estates of the Inhabitants. Under all these circumstances we apprehend we have reasonable grounds to ex- pect a confirmation of our Title to the aforesaid Lande on the most favorable terms. Therefore we humbly hope this Board or others whom it may concern, will consider our case, and the circumstances thereof as above mentioned, and direct herein as in wisdom and Pru- dence they may judge expedient; whose favourable Notice will be kindly received and gratefully aoknowledged :

A petition of the same import was addressed to the As- sembly of Maryland by the possessor of those parts of the Nottingham lots in that State, and an act was passed in 1788 to confirm their lands to them under certain condi- tions. The Pennsylvania board of property ordered a re- survey of the north ends of the lots preparatory to granting patents :

"The warrant for resurveying the North Ends of the Nottingham Lotts is Dated the 29th of November, 1787, and to me directed ; In consequence whereof they were soon after resurveyed, viz .: for Isaac Haioes, the North End of the Lotts which were originally numbered 7 & 8, called Triangle, containing 31 acres and allowance; For Jacob Haines, the N. End of the Lot No. 9, 40 acres and 48 perches and allowance, called North Range; For Jacob Brown, the North End of Lott No. 10 and part of No. 11, 66 acres 130 perches, called Chippen- ham ; For Jacob Brown, junior, the Northern part of Lot No. 11, 1292 acres and allowance, called Carpenter's Hall; For Levi Baily, the N.

Including all that part of said antient Lots which lies in Pennsylvania, the Eastern part of which (as far as North East creek) lays in East Nottingham ; the other part in West Nottingham, Chester county, 1345} neres and allowance of six per cent., according to the Draught annexed.

" GEORGE CHURCHMAN."

Nottingham is not mentioned in the assessment of 1715, but in 1718 both East and West Nottingham appear. In each list there are several "adjacent inhabitants," which were probably those outside the original survey. In 1734-5 ' Londonderry was separated from Nottingham.

From a petition dated Feb. 25, 1728-9, respecting the bounds of West. Nottingham, it appears the township.

extended beyond the Octorara Creek prior to the erection of Lancaster County. In 1833 a portion of East Not -. tingham was taken to form Oxford borough, and in 1853 Hopewell borough was partly taken from it. In 1857 it- was still further reduced by the formation of Elk township. James Trimble, of Fairville, writes in 1870 :

" At one time during the Revolution Smallwood's division of the American army ocoupied Friends' meeting-house at Nottingham as a hospital. The surgeons in charge, some four or five in number, were quartered at my grandfather's house, one of them being Peter Yar -. nall, then a reckless, swearing young man. On one occasion they : persuaded my grandmother to sell them a blanket for a wounded sol- dier who had none, Peter romarking that as the ' poor soger was ly- ing in the gallery, he thought the blanket would not be profaned.' For this offense, however, she had to give an acknowledgment."
