Of these last-named grantees, John Oliver held under a vote passed Jan. 9, 1637, forty acres, afterwards increased to fifty acres.
At the same time Edward Gibbons received eighty, Edward Bayts or Bates fourteen, and William Brenton sixty acres. All of these were men of standing, and several were officials of note in the government and military force of the colony. Among other grantees, one Richard Tuttle received a grant which probably led to the settlement here of a man who, although no longer represented in Winthrop in the male line of descent, was undoubtedly, in 1687, the owner of two-thirds of the arable land at Pulling Point.
