[0713] To the Town Met January the 27th 1729


Gent: men I Suppose it is not unknown to many of you that my Grandfather M': Gregory Dexter was one of the origi- nal proprietors of the Lands of this Town of Providence, & had a lot of 80 acres of Land laid out at Scoakanoxit, The which he gave to my hon':d father & Settled him there on : & Since my fathers Decease the sd Lot descended to me his only heir & is the Land I now live upon; & was the first lot that was layd out in yt part of our Town Shipe, but Since the laying out thereof, other people have laid out Land adjoining on three Sides of it, & all the Land adjoining on the fourth Side is claimed ; quite home to mine : & the way which I have used this Six & Twenty years to go off my Land in to the Road which leads to the Town is Now Stoped up, So that I cannot possible come at any Road That Leads Either to mill or market with my Team: nor yet on foot nor on horseback,


38


[ 296 ]


but as I have | leve | of Jonathan Sprague to pass through his meadow & gent: men, I am humbly of opinion that this (if it be alowed of) will be ye first precedent that Ever was Set in New England, That after a man has laid out Land & built upon it, for other men to lay out Land Round his, & thereby Compell him to buy a high way to pass off his own land to get into a comon Roade: & gen : men, you cannot but be Sense- able that it has been the general practice in this Town that in Laying out of Lands good care has been taken to Leaue Suf- ficient highways: & in all parts of the Town Shipe where there has been any omission on that foot, upon the Jnhabitants making Request To the Town, conveinant highways have forthwith been laid out, & my Interest, both as I am a proprie- tor & one of the Kings Subjects, being Equall with my Neigh- bours, ought in Justice to obtaine the Like Regard, as I hope it will, & therefore pray that you will please So to consider the premisses as to lay out a conveniant high way for me & mine to pass in, from my own Land to the Road which comes out of our Northern woods into the Town & in So doing you will much oblige, gen": men your friend & neighbour
