Notes:
This tract of land originally comprised all the territory now included in the towns of Deering, Antrim, Hancock, Bennington, Francestown, and the north part of Greenfield.
Francestown was the first town in the Society Landdistrict to be incorporated. This was done June 8, 1772, and New Boston Addition was included within its lines. Then followed Deering, Jan. 17,1774; Antrim, March 22, 1777; and Hancock, Nov. 5, 1779. These towns covered the entire tract except a small piece in the southern part, and this was combined with Lyndeborough Gore and enough of Peterborough and Lyndeborough to make a small township, and incorporated as Greenfield June 15, 1791. Bennington was composed of parts of Greenfield, Francestown, Deering, and Hancock, and was incorporated Dec. 15, 1842. It lies nearly in the centre of the original Society Land.
