1755 July 1 (Tuesday). Set out from Groton with Captain John Stevens Esquire, and rode to Townshend. Mr. Lull goes to Lieutenant Taylor in Townshend for the Plott of the Land which Mr. Lull would give me in Equivalence for the 70 acres which I lost; and he tells me that it lies on Pearl Hill about 2 1/2 Miles from Lunenbourg Meeting House. Captain Stevens and I din’d at Mr. Hemenways. P.M. when Mr. Lull and Lieutenant Taylor (whom Lull had chose for his Arbitrator) came, and we set to the Business. But instead of the Lotts being on Pearl Hill as abovesaid, and as Lull had always told me, it was found in the Plott to be probably five Miles farther off, being 7 or 8 Miles from Lunenbourg Meeting House, and therefore I was dissatisfy’d with it. It was therefore agreed that Lull Should not only give me a Deed of his third Division, but of his Sixth also, and if they Should appear to be both of them more than an Equivalence for the 70 Acre Lot and My Dammages and Disappointment — also my Expences, which Mr. Lull Should have born in finding the Bounds of the 100 Acre Lott, then I engag’d by writing to pay as the Arbitrators Should judge. I also gave him from under my Hand to Quitt my Claim to the 70 Acres as Soon as I Should have my Equivalence for it in the Judgment of the Arbitrators. Said Lull accordingly gave me a Deed of the Said 2 Divisions, one containing 62 Acres and the other 35 Acres, which Captain Stevens took the Acknowledgement of. And we agreed that Since we could not view them to Day — and So not this Journey — The two Gentlemen above Said Should take a Time and View them and Judge of them when they could with best Convenience. I pay’d Captain Stevens 24/7 for this Day. I lodg’d at Mr. Hemingways — but it was my great Grief that Mr. Lull went away uneasy because I would not be[ar] my Part of the Charge (not only of Viewing the Lotts when they Should be found but likewise) of looking them up. Thus this troublesome Day finish’d. May God please to discover what was amiss, and forgive it!
