to Agree well with the report of M'r John Flint & M'r Joseph
Wheeler who were a Commetty imployed by the County Court in
midlesexs to Run the bounds of said plantation (June y'e 20'th 82)
The plat will demonstrate how the plantation lyeth & how Groton
coms in vpon it: as aleso the quaintete which is a bought 7840
acres

And said Comite are of the opinion that ther may [be] a township in
that place it lying so remote from most of the neighboreng Towns,
provided this Court shall se reson to continew the bounds as we do
judg thay have been made at the first laieng out And that ther be
sum addition from Concord & Chelmsford which we are redy to think
will be complyed with by s'd Towns And s'd Comite do find a bought
15 famelys setled in s'd plantation of Nashobe (5) in Groton
