On February 3, 1764, this petition was put over to the May Session, but I do not find that it came up for consideration at that time. It does not appear again for some years. A Petition of _James Prescot_, Esq; and others, praying that a Grant of Land may be made them in Lieu of a former Grant, which falls within the _New-Hampshire_ Line. [Journal of the House of Representatives (page 129), November 2, 1770.] This petition was referred to a committee consisting of Dr. Samuel Holten, of Danvers, Colonel Joseph Gerrish, of Newbury, and Mr. Joshua Bigelow, of Worcester. The Committee on the Petition of _James Prescot_, Esq; and others, reported. Read and accepted, and _Resolved_, That in Lieu of Lands mentioned in the Petition, there be granted to the Petitioners, their Heirs and Assigns, Four Thousand Four Hundred Acres of the unappropriated Lands belonging to the Province, to be laid out in the Westerly Part thereof, adjoining to some former Grants, provided they can find the same; or Five Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Acres of the unappropriated Lands lying on the Easterly side of _Saco_ River; it being their Proportion in said Grant: And return a Plan thereof taken by a Surveyor and Chainman under Oath, into the Secretary's Office within Twelve Months. Sent up for Concurrence. [Journal of the House of Representatives (page 156), November 14, 1770.] The Committee appointed to consider the Plan of two Tracts of Land granted to _James Prescot_, Esq; and others, reported. Read and accepted. _Resolved_, That both the above Plans, the one containing Four Thousand one Hundred and thirty Acres, the other containing two Hundred and seventy Acres, delineated and described as is set forth by the Surveyor in the Description thereof hereunto annexed, be accepted, and hereby is confirmed to _James Prescot_, Esq; and others named in their Petition, and to their Heirs and Assigns in Lieu of and full Satisfaction for Four Thousand four Hundred Acres of Land lost by the late running of the Line between this Province and _New-Hampshire_, as mention'd in a Grant made by both Houses of the Assembly, A.D. 1765, but not consented to by the Governor. _Provided_ both said Plans together do not exceed the Quantity of Four Thousand four Hundred Acres, nor interfere with any former Grant. Sent up for Concurrence. [Journal of the House of Representatives (page 73), June 22, 1771.]
