PREFACE. 
 
 In recent years many cities and towns in this country, more 
 especially in New England, have become interested in collecting 
 and preserving historical data. Communities which have not 
 been indifferent to progress in other matters have evinced a 
 strong desire to gather the scattered threads of historic value, 
 cherishing the hope that from the tangled skein might be evolved 
 the story of a people's worth. 
 
 In cities and towns which possess abundance of material for 
 civic pride, this spirit has become a settled policy and the prin- 
 ter's art is being freely used to perpetuate the records of the 
 past. 
 
 For many years past, the necessity of copying and preserv- 
 ing in some permanent form the early records of the Town 
 of Cambridge was evident to any person who had occasion 
 or desire to scrutinize the original records. 
 
 That this City possesses records which have successfully 
 survived the occurrences of two hundred and sixty years is 
 indeed a source of congratulation, but an examination of the 
 pages reveals the ravage of time, and the probability that in a 
 few years practical use of these records will be impossible. 
 
 Mr. Walter W. Pike, late City Clerk, was fully cognizant 
 of the need of preservative action, and requested of the City 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 Council authority to commence the work of copying and 
 printing. This request met with a hearty response, as is here- 
 after recited, and the work was begun with an ardor and interest 
 which bespoke its rapid and successful completion. 
 
 By the death of Mr. Pike, however, the task of continuing a 
 work which had been so well begun necessarily fell upon his 
 successor in office. 
 
 In his inaugural address, delivered January i, 1894, His 
 Honor, Mayor Bancroft, recommended that the expediency of 
 publishing the old Records of Newtowne and the Town of 
 Cambridge, together with the Records of the Proprietors of 
 Common Lands, be considered by the City Council. Acting 
 upon this recommendation, the matter was intrusted to the 
 Committee on Printing for that year, — Aldermen Bleiler 
 and James, and Councilmen Reid, Allen, and Whitmore. 
 This Committee, believing that preservation in type of these 
 old records of the early town was of paramount importance, 
 and after careful deliberation, reported favorably, as the follow- 
 ing order passed by the City Council on March 15, 1894, at 
 its request, will show, viz. : — 
 
 " Ordered: That the City Clerk be authorized to prepare a printer's copy 
 of the Proprietors' Records of Cambridge suitable for publication, and at an 
 expense not exceeding the sum of five hundred dollars, the same to be charged 
 to the appropriation for Incidental Expenses." 
 
 Under the direction of Mr. Pike, then City Clerk, the task 
 of preparing a correct copy of the Records of the Proprie- 
 tors was immediately commenced. 
 
PREFACE. V 
 
 The printer's copy from the pages of the original record was 
 prepared by Miss Sarah S. Jacobs of this City. Her great ex- 
 perience and knowledge of old town methods rendered her 
 familiar with the demands of the work, while her intelligence 
 and readiness in deciphering the old manuscript insured a cor- 
 rect translation of the original text. Entirely in sympathy with 
 the project of printing the old records of Cambridge, the prepa- 
 ration of the copy, laborious and irksome though it was, has 
 been on her part largely a labor of love, — a fact conclusively 
 proven by a careful examination of these pages. 
 
 Besides the preparation of the printer's copy, and of the in- 
 dexes, Miss Jacobs has also read and compared the pages of 
 proof matter, — no small task when it is known that every 
 word has been scanned in order that not a letter or punctuation- 
 mark should differ from the original manuscript. 
 
 Before the close of the year 1894 the copy was completed, 
 and on May 15, 1895, Mayor Bancroft approved an order of 
 the City Council, authorizing the City Clerk to cause to be 
 printed one thousand copies. 
 
 A contract for printing was executed with the " University 
 Press " of this City, and the work has been steadily pushed to 
 completion. The excellent typographical appearance of these 
 pages is due to the foresight and skill of the members of this 
 printing-establishment, who have suggested freely of their 
 knowledge during the progress of the work. 
 
 The original Records of the Proprietors are contained in three 
 volumes. The first volume embraces the period from 1634 to 
 1 74 1, and contains a few detached records as late as 1808. 
 
vi PREFACE. 
 
 There is also a separate record at the end of the volume, ex- 
 tending from 1636 to 1697. The second volume embraces 
 the period from 1751 to 1773. The third volume embraces the 
 period from 1784 to 1829. 
 
 In 1841, by order of the Selectmen, a transcript of the origi- 
 nal records was made by Rev. Lucius R. Paige, then Clerk 
 of the Town. This copy has been of very great assistance 
 in the compilation of the present volume, although its value 
 as a literal transcript is diminished on account of its modern 
 orthography. 
 
 For a clearer understanding of the scope of this work, and of 
 the signs used in printing, the following explanatory remarks 
 are made. It has been the intention to present in this volume 
 all and the same information which a perusal of the manuscript 
 would present to the reader. No attempt has been made to 
 modernize the text, or to make corrections of any description. 
 From page 1 to page 391, the book is a reproduction of the 
 originals, except the introduction of the title, paging, and ex- 
 planatory marks and foot-notes. 
 
 Throughout this volume the dates of the entries do not ap- 
 pear consecutively in all cases, but the dates are published 
 in the exact order in which they appear in the originals. It 
 has not been deemed advisable to place them in consecutive 
 order, except when such order was in agreement with the 
 original text. 
 
 The figures at the top of the pages indicate the paging of the 
 transcript. The heavy figures enclosed in brackets represent 
 the paging of the original book in its present condition. 
 
PREFACE. vii 
 
 The title " Proprietors' Records " has been used, in the belief 
 that the appearance of the book would be thereby improved. 
 
 Brackets enclosing a blank space, thus, [ ], signify that 
 something is missing from, or illegible in the original. Carets, 
 a, show that a letter or letters in a word are missing. When- 
 ever a star, *, appears on a page it refers to a foot-note on that 
 page. 
 
 In the original records, pages 115, 116, 158, 159, 160, 290, 
 and 291 are blank, and no corresponding heavy figures in 
 brackets appear in the transcript, nor is there an explanatory 
 foot-note. Page 171 is repeated both in the original and in 
 the copy. With these exceptions any changes from the rules 
 herein stated have been noted in foot-notes and indicated by 
 stars. 
 
 On page 367 is printed what is marked as page 30 of 
 the original Volume No. 2. This placing agrees with the 
 manuscript as it now exists, although there is a doubt of its 
 correctness. 
 
 With these explanatory remarks, it is believed that an in- 
 telligent perusal of the volume is within the reach of the 
 reader.

 At a meeting of the Selectmen of said Town upon application made

 Scituate lying & being on the Rocks in said Cambridge formerly be- 
 longing to the Rev? M r John Whiting of Concord for the accomoda- 
 tion of M r James Perry & others in Consequence of their desire & pur- 
 suant to an Antient Vote of the Proprietors in said Town, where no 
 way hath been laid out. 
 
 The s d Selectmen upon mature Consideration had made Choice of 
 the Hon w : e William Brattle Esq 1 : & Cap' : Ebenezer Stedman ; the Rev? 
 Mf Dan| Rogers made Choice of Cap* : Ephraim Frost jun r & Mf William 
 Dana both Selectmen of said Cambridge to joyn with the first named 
 Selectmen; the said William ; Ebenezer, Ephraim & William to be ,the 
 Committe to lay out said way for the purpose aforesaid ; The Selectmen 
 & Committe are very Sensible that on the 10 th of January 1705 there 
 was a Similar Application to this made by M r Thomas Whittemore a 
 Tenant on said Whitings Farm, now said Rogers's, But not by the said 
 Whiting that we could learn Either by the Proprietors Records or any 
 otherwise, nor doth it appear that Application was then made to the 
 Selectmen by any other person living, but by the said Whittemore ; 
 who Considered as a Tenant had no Right to apply or the Selectmen 
 to Grant his Request & pofsible the whole was done without the said 
 Whitings knowledge; yet so it was a way was then laid out in Conse- 
 quence of said Application through s d : Whitings farm, now said Rogers's 
 on the Rocks aforesaid, But the way was never fenced out or Trod to 
 this day that any one living can tell, for where said way was then laid 
 out (Viz. 1 ) from the Road leading from Menotomy to Watertown to 
 Nicholas Fefsendens Corner cannot pofsibly be afsertained in the whole, 
 But by that part of said way which is known it manifestly appears that it

 cant now nor Could it ever accomodate any persons land that way, 
 which pofsibly might be the Reason why it never was used or fenced of; 
 Wherefore upon the whole the same Cannot in law or Equity be looked 
 upon as a way according to the True Intent & meaning of the Vote of 
 the Proprietors aforesaid any more then if it had never been layed out, 
 therefore in lieu thereof, & that the said James Perry & others might be 
 accomodated with [295] a way through s d Rogers s land on the Rocks

 We whose names are under written a Committe aforesaid for the 
 purpose aforesaid Do this 19 th of August 1767. hereby order & Deter- 
 mine that the pafsage way through said Rogers's farm on the Rocks 
 aforesaid formerly said Whitings land for the accomodation of the said 
 James Perry & others in lieu of the way aforesaid be as follows, (Viz') 
 To begin at the Stone wall near to the Gate where there are two horse 
 Blocks one Standing on the Kings way leading from Menotomy Meet- 
 ing house to Watertown ; the other Standing in M r Rogers's Pasture 
 leading to the s d Perrys house to begin from the said Rogers's Stone wall 
 near to said Gate & on the Right hand thereof leading to said Perrys 
 house measuring Two Rods from said Wall towards the opposite Wall 
 thereto & so Runing Exactly as said first mentioned Wall Runs to the 
 Corner thereof, & from thence near Strait to a Stake & heap of Stones,

 Agreeable to the annexed Instructions, we the Subscribers have 
 been & viewed one lot of land belonging to Noah Rufsell on the second 
 division which lot was according to the best information now to be 
 obtained was laid out to one Blowers & we find that said Blowers' 
 lot laiys at the head of a lot laid out to Lieut. Remington in the 
 first division from the road that was formerly laid out from Watertown 
 line to Cooks Mills. We also find, that about the year 1726. that a 
 Committee was on said Remington's lot & did lay out a road through 
 the same in order to accomodate said Blower's lot, & from a change 
 of property we find that it is not necefsary to continue said road any 
 further, nor to have a pafsage laid out through said Blowers or Ruf- 
 sell lot. 
 
 July 3. 1797. We also proceeded to view Two lots on said second 
 division one belonging to Jon a Robbins the other to said Noah Rufsell, 
 which two lots, we beleive, was formerly laid out to Richard Cutter & one 
 Swan, & are of opinion, that a pafsage way thro said lots is necefsary to 
 be laid out & have staked out the same as follows, Viz. Beginning at the 
 head of a lot in the first division, belonging to Samuel Rufsell, being 
 the Northerly of said pafsage and continuing the same course 
 
 at the head of Ephraim Cook's lot as the Wall now stands, until] it 
 comes within Two rods at the westerly side of said Noah Rufsell's lot 
 to a stake & stones ; then turning Southerly at the side of said Rufsell's 
 lot about four rods to another stake & stones, said pafsage not A be 
 lefs than two rods wide, and are also of opinion, that the said Robbins 
 & Rufsell may inclose the rest of their lots. —
