  1. Mass Paths.
    There is a Mass path on our land. It runs through ten or eleven fields. The path runs by the side of the ditches, and there are stiles at every gate. It comes from the canal to the Pitt. The people from Seafield, Blackstone, and some from Gibberpatrick and Gibberwell came on this path before the road to Seafield was made. This road to Seafield was made about a hundred years ago.
