50 Acres and in order to produce Regularity in the Settlement of the Land
the situations where they are placed should be precisely ascertained,
and the agregate Amount intended for them, laid out in parallelogram or
as nearly in that form as the local Situation will admit - these Tracts
they can hold as Joint tennants and subdivide them as they may agree -
the ungranted Land to be laid out by General Base Lines run thro' the
Ranges of Ground best adapted for Cultivation - and laid out into Farm
Lots of 200 Acres each the Lots near the Shore and bounded by it not to
exceed 100 Acres - Reservation to be made at Convenient points for Glebe
- School & Minister etc. for the support of the College, etc. - (1).
