Voted, to grant ten acres of upland to each of the persons hereafter named, viz.: Jacob Bacon clerk Josiah Fisher, Joseph Fisher, Nathan Blake, William Smeed, Seth Heaton, Joseph Ellis, Eben ezer Nims, Joseph Guild, Joseph Richardson, Isaac Clark, Edward Dale, Jeremiah Hall, Ebenezer Force, Daniel Haws, Amos Foster, Ebenezer Day, Beriah Maccauly, Jabez Hill, Obed Blake, Jeremiah Hall, Jr., David Nims, Timothy Puffer, Ebenezer Daniels, Nathan Fairbanks, John Bullard, David; Foster, Solomon Richardson, Abner Ellis, Benjamin Guild, Asa Richardson, Ebenezer Hill, Samuel. Fisher, Ephraim Dorman, Timothy Sparhawk, Jonathan Underwood, John Andrews, Samuel Smith, Samuel Daniels, and to such other persons having an interest here, who, from the first of next March (1740) to March, 1742, shall make up the quantity or space of two years in living here, and build a legal dwelling house, to the number of sixty, including those before mentioned, (thirty-nine in num ber). At a meeting held February 25, 1740, it was voted to build a second fort whenever seven of the proprietors should request it, but there is no evidence that this proposed fort was ever built. The proprietors of Upper Ashuelot were sorely tried at this time, for not only were they daily expecting news of savage raids on the country adjacent but they received intelligence which, if confirmed, would. Deprive them of all legal right to their lands, of all claim upon Massachusett's protection in case of' war, and would place them under the control of a government for which they had but little respect. And which they had been in the habit of considering hostile to their interests, the government of New Hampshire. What this intelligence was-appears in the following extract from their records.
