Documentary History of the State of New York, Vol. IV
That some more easterly line be substituted instead of the Curve line proposed ; be it a continuation of the line agreed upon at Hartford, or the western boundary lines of the Counties of Cumberland and Gloucester, dividing them from Albany and Charlotte as established by an Act of our last Session either of which will reduce the object of the Report from that degree of liberality to New Hampshire, so alarming to the Proprietors under New York.
That all the New York patents within this Governt be declared valid whether they do or not interfere with prior or subsequent Grants under N. Hampshire.
That all New Hampshire Patents be declared void being destitute of Legal foundation. But that all occupants under New Hampshire Grants not covered by New York Patents, may have confirmations of their Possessions under the Great seal of this Provee in such propositions, and upon such terms as his Majesty shall prescribe.
That all occupants under New Hampshire Titles, and within New York Patents, whether the latter be prior or subsequent, have such liberal equivalents out of the waste lands, and such other indulgences by a suspension of Quit Rents, as His Majty © shall think equitable, the situation of these settlers being the consideration of the greatest hardship & difficulty.
_ That all persons generally, who shall be found to have made settlements at the time of the Royal order for terminating these differences be considered as bona fide occupants, it being conceived to be impracticable to distinguish them according to the different periods of Settling; and that the settlers would not accept of such partial tho' perhaps equitable distinctions.
