Selectmen of Lexington and John Wood
duly authorised to act for the Selectmen of Burlington
met near the House of Marshall Locke in
Lexington at 9 O'clock AM. and proceeded to
examine the bounds between the Towns of
Lexington & Burlington. They found a stone
Monument standing North Easterly of Marshall
Lock's, and some 25 rods from a large oak tree
standing on the road leading from said Locke
to Nathan Blanchard in Burlington and marked
L.B.W. And being the corner of the Towns of Lexington,
Burlington & Woburn; thence to a Monument
standing near the county road near
the old Mill site lately known as Randall's
Mill, marked L.B. thence to a Monument
standing near the road and nearly east of
the octagan [octagon] house erected by James Wyman,
marked L.B. thence to a monument to a Monument
by the side of the road North of the old Gibbs house;
thence to a Monument in the pasture near North Street
in Lexington; thence to Monument near Amos Angers
thence to a Monument on Bull Meadow Hill, all marked
LB. thence a Monument near the house of Daniel
Cummings in Lexington; this stone is
not a split stone, but a long field stone standing
on end, and marked L.B.B. being the
point where the towns of Lexington, Burlington,
and Bedford corner.
These Monuments are all in good order
and duly marked. The Monuments North
of the Gibbs House, thence of Bull Meadows Hill
are intermediate bounds and do not mark any
angle in the line.
