VERMONT LEASE LANDS STATE OF VERMONT. OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE, NORTHFIELD, November 27, A. D. 1882. 5


I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true schedule of lands sequestered in the state of Vermont, as appears from the abstracts thereof, made agreeably to the provisions of section three hundred and thirteen of the Revised Laws, now on file in this office. GEORGE NICHOLS, Secretary of State.


APPENDIX I


MAP DEPICTING AREAS EMBRACED IN WENTWORTH GRANTS AND THOSE COVERED BY VERMONT GRANTS


The map following is not to be taken as correct in the exact location of the marginal lines between the Wentworth and Vermont areas. Within the limitations of the map form it is not practicable to adjust for the innumerable town line changes. Thus, there will be discrepancies between the town lines shown on this map of modern Vermont and the towns as represented by the charters.


However, such discrepancies are unimportant for the present purpose, which is only to give the reader the generalized picture of the situation. Wherever it was practicable, adjustments have been undertaken. An example is found in the case of Dover. The town as such was incorporated in 1810 and thus would seem to be a Vermont grant. However, it is composed entirely of a group of areas which were granted by Wentworth. (Vermont State Papers, Index to the Papers of the Sur- veyor-General, I, 63.) Brookline is seen to be half-marked. This town was incor- porated in 1794 of land taken from Athens and Putney, later receiving more land from Newfane. (Ibid., p. 42.) The two latter towns were Wentworth grants, and so the apparent portion of Brookline coming from those towns is represented in the Wentworth coverage.


The case of Bakersfield requires special explanation. The town was incor- porated by Vermont in 1792. Nevertheless, it has been shown in the Wentworth area. It was put together of several pieces, including two gores. But the major portion of the town derived from Fairfield and Smithfield (the latter disappearing in the process). Both of these were Wentworth towns and provided that pattern of land reservations ; whereas, the Bakersfield incorporation did not include reser- vations. Thus any public lands which might lie in the area would be those granted by Wentworth.


Several towns are shown which fall into neither of the major patterns. Ver- non was a part of the New Hampshire town of Hinsdale and possesses no charter. The others were entirely, or mostly, based on New York grants, and the later Ver- mont incorporations simply overlay those. Where original Vermont grants are found, they are for relatively small tracts and involve no public reservations.


The gores were all Vermont grants. Those shown are no more than the ones remaining at the present time. All of the other numerous gores have been ab- sorbed into adjacent towns.


The cities are all statutory creations of the Vermont legislature. Their loca- tions show from which major pattern they derive, with the exception of Mont- pelier. The latter includes a small section annexed from Berlin, but public lands were not involved.


A further precautionary word is in order respecting use of the map. There have been various changes of town names since the issuance of charters. The names on the map are, of course, the current versions. The work of distinguishing on the map form between the two groups of grants was accomplished by use of the charters as found in the respective volumes of the New Hampshire and Vermont State Papers, with a cross-check made to the data of subsequent events as compiled in the Index to the Papers of the Surveyor-General.
