At a town meeting held February 6, 1636 (27th 1637 n. s.) four of the inhabitants, viz., William Brackenbury, Ezekial Richeson, Thomas Ewar, and Ralph Sprague, were chosen to assist the selectmen in Stinting the common and considering of the great Lotts according to portion. They were to meet monthly for that purpose. In making their apportionment of rights in the common pasturage, the committee at this time (1627) decided to value a
