Surveyor of Detroit
They might have been regulated all upon the same point of the compass, north-north or east, but it was found that besides these lands, which are east of the fort, there were others lying too far toward north on account of the windings of the Little Lake, where it would have caused too much changing, very disadvantagious to certain settlers, who have pushed their claims more lively than their neighbors, which would have occasioned to those who had worked the hardest, would have found themselves expelled and deprived of the fruit of their labors, while in the present state of things everybody has found himself contented, the only inconvenience being that the territory of the fort is narrower in the woods than in its front.
