GRANVILLE .- Town in Addison County. Vermont grant as Kingston of 23,040 acres to Reuben King, Sheldon Graham, Jona- than King, Daniel King, and sixty associates, Aug. 2, 1781, ante p. 118. New York grant of 28,000 acres by Lt. Gov. Colden to Humphrey Avery & Co., (see Avery's Gores, ante), Sept. 6, 1774, covered lands now in Lincoln, Ripton, and Granville; Vermont Historical Society Collections, I:157.

GREEN AND MOULTON'S GRANT .- Mentioned in Vol. VI, Governor and Council, pp. 390, 401, 402. Probably the same as Whitingham Gore, which was chartered Oct. 20, 1796, to Amos Green, Samuel Moulton, Solomon Moulton, and thirteen associates, ante p. 219. In [ms.] Vermont State Papers, 22:51, there is a petition dated Oct. 2, 1783, which describes a certain tract of land as bounded "South on the South Line of Whitingham, West on Lieut. Gambell's New York Patent (since granted by this State to Amos Green and others)." Another petition in the same volume, p. 53, dated Oct. 7, 1783, describing the same tract of land, bounds it "South on Massachusetts Bay West on land granted By the General Assembly to molton and green and com- pany." As the granting fees on a "Gore of Land Granted unto Amos Green, Samuel Moulton and Company" were fixed by the Governor and Council, Feb. 25, 1782, (Governor and Council, II:146), it seems highly probable that the Green and Moulton's Grant appearing in the Governor and Council in 1821, and Whitingham Gore chartered in 1796 to Green, Moulton, and others are one and the same tract of land.
