  • Notes 
    • John Allin of Prudence Island sold a tract of land to William Remington of Portsmouth, schoolmaster, for 750 pounds, 6 Jan 1738/9. This piece of land, 50 acres more or less, on the island was bounded as follows: S by my son William Allin, W on the Sea, N on the land of William Allin my honoured father, E on my own land. Witnessed by Caleb Hill & John Ingraham. (Po Land Ev. Bk 4 p. 142)

      Also, on the same day, John Allin sold land on Prudence Island to his honoured father William Allin. This was 50 acres more or less, bounded as follows: S by William Remington, W on the Sea, N by "my own land." witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill.

      Also, on the same day John Allin sold land to Caleb Hill (witnessed by William Remington & Giles Slocum); also to William Havens (witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill); and to Giles Slocum (witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill).

      About a month later, on 3 Feb 1738/9, John Allin bought land from William Remington, schoolmaster, of Prudence Island in the Township of Portsmouth. The "sum of 750 pounds in good and lawful bills of public credit . . . truly paid by John Allin of Town, County, and Colony aforesaid . . . a tract of land being on Prudence Island . . . 50 acres be it more or less, butted and bounded as followeth: S by land of William Allin Jun, W on the Sea, N on land of William Allin Senior, E on land of sd. John Allin. Witnessed by Caleb Hill & William Sanford. (Po Land Ev. Bk 4 p. 195) This appears to be the same land bought by William Remington from John Allin a month earlier.
