On an earlier page (Page 62), in another hand and dated 21 November 1753, Item #9 grants to four families a “consideration” of forty shillings per head for coming to live in the Township. The fourth name is that of my fifth great-grandfather Benjamin Smith of Eastham on Cape Cod. His brother, my uncle Solomon Smith, is named third.

It would have been fun to find this entry in Grandpa John Stillman’s hand, but he seems not yet to have come on the scene.
