" The town by a major vote, doth order the committee to proceed with ye Indians about purchasing ye lands westward of ye old purchase, and now marked the old purchase, formerly bought of the Indians, November 3d, 1701. The town doth also agree that ye land westward of the first purchase, shall be paid by heads ; and every head that payeth the Indians for it shall have every one of them an equal share, according to what they pay.
