Documentary History of the State of New York, Vol. IV
That this Deponent believes there are now ten times as many Settlers in the Tract formerly claimed by New Hampshire aforesaid, than there were at that Day, and that these are almost altogether Purchasers under the New Hampshire Patents since the notification of the Kings Determination of the Boundary as aforesaid a great many of whom settled in expectation of taking out new Grants from the Province of New York, which they are still desirous of doing, this Deponent having beeu desired by the Inhabitants of several Townships to Assist them therein.
E. That a few of the Tracts granted by M™ Wentworth on the Banks of Connecticut River and two or three of the Townships near the Massachusetts Line, have within about four years past increased considerably in Cultivation, tho' even in these it bears but a small proportion to the Quantity of Lands in these Townships, And that with respect to the rest of the Tracts the greater part of them have but little Cultivation and very many of them none at all.
F. That this Deponent never hath heard of any Ejectments:. served by any Person claiming under New York nor of any other action brought by any of them, against any Person to the Eastward of the Green Mountains except in two or three Instances: for Debt & is satisfied if-any such thing had happened he musthave heard of it. That some few of the Inhabitants of that country have been -arrested in Civil Actions brought by them against one another.
