“On the following March the scattered populace assembled as above, having previously divided the land into three divisions, containing lots from twenty to sixty acres each, and, having chosen Capt. John Ware, of Wrentham, moderator, and Thomas Sanford clerk, they proceeded to draw slips of paper from a box.  On each slip of paper was a number corresponding to a lot of land, and he who drew a number became the owner in fee-simple of the tract, the numbers running as high as one hundred and twenty-one, thus showing one hundred and twenty-one settlers located or about to locate.”
