Additional Data
Hugh and Evan Griffith paid £19 10s for 300 acres of land in Gwynedd township in 1698 or 1699. Most of the first settlers' deeds are dated 5 4m 1699, and the others also appear to have been executed, but the source given is no more specific. A re-survey of the land in 1702 resulted in an overplus of 76 acres for which a moderate price was charged, and thereafter, a patent was issued by the commissioners.3
