grant of 30 acres of land "between ye drie pines and Abraham Clark's."  And
that same day Zachariah Pitman had a grant 20 acres "in ye Dry Pines, 
between Jno Knight's and Zacharias field's."  Pitman conveyed this land to 
John Drew Aug. 16, 1697.  Elijah Drew and wife Abigail, Nov. 29, 1762, 
conveyed to Shadrach Hodgdon 25 acres of land, bounded northerly by the 
highway that leads from the country road to Clement Meserve's, westerly by 
said Meserve and Samuel Hayes, and easterly by part of the estate of John
Field, deceased; which land, called the Dry Pines, formerly belonged to 
Joseph Drew, father of said Elijah.  John Knight's land at Mast bridge was 
afterwards acquired by Benedictus Torr.  And Samuel Hayes' land, above 
mentioned, was conveyed to him Dec. 3, 1737, by Daniel, son of Zacharias
Field.  The Dry Pines, a portion of the tract generally called Field's 
plains, were in the upper part of the Back River district.  (See Field's 
Plains.)
