Book G pg. 52, 1816 (Eigg Mountain Settlement History)

Grant to Joseph, John and Thomas Fennel as well as Michael Murphy

The survey description of this grant has the same inconsistency as G_50 (see also G_53), placing the Tobins further south in relation to the Fennels/Murphy than on the index sheet (and our Eigg Mountain map).  The Fennel/Murphy grant position indicated on the Grants Index makes sense if the point of beginning is NW corner of Charles & Mary Wentworth.  This survey also references the NE corner of Lt. Col. Pilkington which apparently would place the Fennel/Murphy grants higher up, consistent with the plans drawn up in G_50 and G_52.  [This should at least be a warning of how wrong the original survey plans could be.]
