Establishing the Line Between the Towns of Norwalk and Wilton.

We, the subscribers, Select-men of the Towns
of Norwalk and Wilton, being appointed by the Honorable General Assembly
at their session in May last, to agree upon a dividing line between
the said towns, beg leave to report, that on the 11th of August, 1802,
we met at the house of Daniel Betts in Wilton, and agreed to proceed
upon the following principles, to begin at Copts brook so called,
on the main road leading from Norwalk to Danbury, and running south
77 1-2 west, and to the southwest corner of the Town of Wilton, to
a heap of stones in a bunch of hemlock or spruce trees dividing the
Towns of Norwalk, Wilton and New-Canaan, we then proceeded from Copts
brook aforesaid, running north 61 1-2, east 112 chains to a heap of
stones about four rods southwest from the house of Samuel Gregory;
thence running south 77 1-2° east to Stewart's corner, so called,
to a heap of stones on the highway 39 chains; thence north 32°
east 23 chains to a heap of stones near Thomas Whitlock's barn on
the highway dividing the Towns of Norwalk, Weston, and Wilton, and
erected bounds at proper distances on all the above lines, all which
we humbly submit to the consideration of the Honorable General Assembly.
