It began on the east side of Nashua River a little below
Nissitisset hills at the short turning of the River bounded by a
pine tree marked with G. and so running two miles in a direct line
to buckmeadow which _p'rtains_ to Boston Farms, Billerica land and
Edward Cowells farm until you come to Massapoag Pond, which is full
of small islands; from thence it is bounded by the aforesaid Pond
until you come to Chelmsford line, after that it is bounded by
Chelmsford and Nashoboh lines until you come to the most southerly
corner of this Plantation, and from thence it runs West-North-West
five miles and a half and sixty four poles, which again reacheth to
Nashua River, then the former west-north-west line is continued one
mile on the west side of the river, and then it runs one third of a
point easterly of north & by east nine miles and a quarter, from
thence it runneth four miles due east, which closeth the work to
the river again to the first pine below Nissitisset hills, where we
began: it is bounded by the Farms and plantations as aforesaid and
by the wilderness elsewhere; all which lines are run and very
sufficiently bounded by marked trees & pillars of stones: the
figure or manner of the lying of it is more fully demonstrated by
this plot taken of the same.

that town, is very incorrect, so far as it relates to the boundaries of

mistake may have tended to confuse the author's ideas. The southern
