Alexander Forsyth transferred another portion of the original 1794 lease to Conrad Sherman. In 1797, he had transferred the first section to Caleb Hewitt. When the assignment says the plot to the north of Sherman's is occupied by George Peters, it does not mean he was leasing it. In wasn't until December, 1801 that Caleb Hewitt sublet that plot to George Peters.
