Also endorsed in handwriting of Governor John Jay, " see Remsen's Evid. respecting Nutten's Island." Underneath is the following endorsement by Peter A. Jay : "The first two pages of these notes are, I believe, in the handwriting of John Chambers, an eminent counsel, afterwards Judge of the Supreme Court of the Colony—the note on the margin is in the writing of John Jay, his nephew and executor of his widow. " P. A. Jay."
The trial dealing with property lines "appears to have taken place in 1741, but no records have been seen throwing light upon its results."
