Memorialists have for some time been settled on their town lots at Ramsheg whereon they have built and brought the land into a state of cultivation. They cannot support their families on so little land. They drew two other lots containing 200 acres each, but upon examination they find them unfit for settlement, and request a grant of 1000 acres adjoining the lands already granted on the north side of Ramsheg Bay.
Granted - 100 acres each.
