the rock south easterly 40 Degrees, to a certain marked tree in the

woods, 300 rods. Ranging from the marked tree North easterly along the

Purchase line, 47 Degrees to a stone set in the ground and marked W. H.

along the fence as it now stands to a stone set in the ground on the

east side of my gate, at the end of the lane by my orchard. Ranging

thence along the orchard 36 rods, thence along the Garden 16 rods. From

thence down to the Purchase line, that comes through Hellgate. From

thence to the mouth of the Great Creek, thence to the little creek, from

thence to the Great Rock, the first station. And he is to have the equal

privilege of the lane with Samuel Hallett; as it is now fenced, from the

stone, by my gate to the water side, so down west to the Purchase line.

Except a certain tract of land and buildings, given to my son, Moses

and my silver Tankard. I leave to my sons, George and Richard, and to my
