Map Question...NH

Whitefield my town was the last one to get a Kings Grant in NH I beilve in 1774. After that the revolution changed things of course.

here are the grant dates for the last royal grants (most of these can be found in the NH State Papers, I forget which volume)
28 Feb 1774 Errol
1 Mar 1774 Millsfield
4 Jun 1774 Kilkenny
4 Jul 1774 Whitefield
3 Aug 1774 Stark (granted as "Percy")
11 Nov 1774 Greens Grant
? 1774 Bethlehem (granted as "Lloyds Hills", records of grant have been lost)
2 Jun 1775 Ervings Location

after that no new townships were granted until the legislature granted land to Dartmouth College in 1792 in what is now Clarksville. Ossipee was incorporated in 1785 but I haven't been able to find a record of when the land grant occurred or whether it was taken from adjacent towns.

The Whitefield PDF file on their town HERE claims last one. Lot's of good info there. I'm both glad and surprised the town hasn't changed much in years.
