The Internet shows that the quote below comes from the 1992 Weaner Book about the Manor of Maske. "On March 18, 1765, the governor directed, that a list be prepared of the holders of real estate, within what would be the eventual actual limits of the manor. In each case, they were asked to give the month and year of first settlement of the tract. In return, for allowing the surveying of the manor to proceed, the residents on tracts, settled before June 18, 1741, were promised, that they could purchase their land on the common terms. The names on the list, are in fact, those heads of families occupying particular manor tracts in the spring of 1765. In many cases, the first settlers, were one or more previous occupants, whose identities remain unknown. The Manor of Maske was surveyed January 17, to January 30, 1766. The settlers could now pursue in getting their land patents." There exists a list of "original settlers" of the manor of maske. However, based on the above statement, when a name appears on that list, perhaps with a date, is that the name of the occupant in 1765, and not the name of the occupant in 1736-1741, the original period of settlement? Has anyone else had to come to that conclusion as well? Knut
