Among other claimants of these " Undivided Lands." in 1743, was a Benjamin Wilson, (one of the original twenty-five grantees of the East or Upper Patent, in 1 73 1 ,) who, strange to say, asserted that his right to dispose of the same, "accrued unto him by virtue of a Patent obtained with others," of Governor Montgomerie of New York. In other words, by virtue of the East Patent issued in 1731, which had nothing whatever to do with the " Undivided Lands" and also by virtue of a lease obtained of Adam Ireland, Jno. Thomas and Benjamin Birdsell, all three of whom were also grantees of the East Patent 1731."
