As to the Nomination of ye Civil authority for ye County of Cumberland, that I Deliver'd to your Excellency, there is Two persons mentioned in the said Nomination that were not of my naming, And I think it would be better for the peace of the Towns, where they live as well as y° Peace of y® County not to make them Justices vizt William Davis and David Stone, Stone lives in Windsor amongst the Rietous Inhabitants where there is two parties and for this Reason I am of ye opinion that to omit appointing any Justice of ye Peace in Windsor for ye present will be best, but I submit my Judgment to your Excellency's wise Determination.

.I would Beg leave to Recommend to your Excellencys favour Daniel Whipple Esq: High Sheriff of Cumberland County who, was very faithfull in striving to apprehend the Windsor Rietors, - for which good services His Late Excellency the Earl of Dunmore and the Honourable His Majestys Council made him a Grant of a Township of Land, and he is now come to your Excellency to take out a Patent for ye same.

NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANTS. 761

I humbly pray your.Excellency to favour him with a Patent of the said Grant

I would also Begg leave to Inform your Excellency, that James Rogers Esq? of Kent, obtained a grant of the Township of Land called Kent in Cumberland County, and I was y® person that gave him the Bounds, and 'a Warrant of Survey was granted and a Return made, but the Patent did not follow according to ye Bounds made, and no Just Reason, that I can learn, why it did not Issue according to the Grant, the bounds mentioned in the Patent leaves out all the Buildings and Improvements in Kent, and unless the Patent is Rectified (which I presume it is Easy to be Done) it will Ruin the Township and the Settlers, and y® Settlement of ye same.
