The tract represented by the above

tstion until March 6, liza. when 1t was
Incorporated Hebron, the 18th town,
then having few more than 500 inhsb-
itants. Its irregulArity is accounted for
by its having been the center Of series
OF grants already located and completely
surrounding IL, none Of which were reg
ular squares.
This tract, represented IS lying 10 the
county Of Cumberland, Was granted by
The Great and General Court OF Mssss-
chusetts" to Alexander Shepard, Jr., of
Newton, March Z, liz, conditional upon
his furnishing 70 the State IN accurate
plan Of al the late Province Of Maine 10
the acceptance Of the Court; that he
should settle ten families In said tract
within ten years, and also that said tract
doth not interfere with any former
grant. The drst condition was prompt
" complied with, ~ shown bv resolve
OF the court, passed June ~, 1873: "Thst
the map OF the late Province Of Maine,
presented TO this Court by Alexander
Shepard, Jr., be accepted, and that the
tract Of land granted to him oy the Gen
erzl Court Of this State on the seventh
day Of March, l17', be and hereby In
confirmed" The number Of Inhabitants
al the date Of Incorporation testifies the
fulnlment Of the second condition, and
the third condition appears to have re
qaired additional legislative acts to ad-
just boundary lines.
There have been few changes In the
laws governing plantations; state taxes
then n now were considered an intoler-
able burden by the settlers, and the dis
tress caused thereby was often patheti-
cally presented to the court. The execu-
tive Of the plantation was . board Of
assessors. The last TO serve In Shep-
Srdsdeld were John Greenwood, James
DOMAIN. and Daniel Bullen. Among
their constituents are found the names
Joseph and william Barrows, David
Bartlett, Asa and Gideon Bearce, Elna-
than and Jeptha Benson, John Bicknell,
