Fire Lands.

The phrase fire lands" originated in
a passage Of early history, which also
gave rise to the term western re-
serve" After the Revolutionary war,
when the colonies consented to ceda
their claims to western lands to con-
gress, Connecticut reserved from her
cession a tract embracing large part
Of northern Ohio. The tract thus re-
served included the present counties of
Trumbull, Genuga, Portage and Ash
tabula and became known as tho west
ern reserve. 1t was settled chiefly by
cmiyrants from Connecticut and was
sometimes called New Connecticut.
In promoting the settlement Of the
land Connecticut reserved half mil
lion acres from the western end of the
tract for bestowal upon her citizens
who had suffered losses during the
war. and the lands embraced in this
special reserve were called sufferers
lands" and later fire lands because
most Of the sufferers had been losers
by fire. In early times the phrase "fire
lands was sometimes used in deeds
in describing the location of land In
the tract referred to. - Philadelphia
