Hubertus Neal, Deputy Surveyor. The Warner of to-day is precisely this, with theGore added; but it will be seen that the town does. DESCRIPTION OF TOWNSHIP NUMBER ONE. 27 not correspond very closely with the terms of thegrant. It is not six miles square, nor is it regular inshape as proposed. It is more than six miles and athird in length on the Boscawen end, and but littlemore than four and a half on the west end. Itslength from east to west is above seven miles. Thearea of the town, without the Gore, is thirty-sevensquare miles, and with the Gore (which embracesseven square miles), it is forty-four. The north lineof the town, before the Gore was added, running fromthe south-west corner of Salisbury, near BartlettHardys house, crossed the north road at the site ofthe Sawyer shanty, and struck Sutton on the linebetween land of William K. Morrill and NathanielPage, near Stevens brook. The reason why the town was not surveyed andlaid out in accordance with the terms of the grant isobvious. Obstacles were found in the way.
