 I seek help reconstructing the original Town of Colrain land lots, using original  1730s-1740s deeds which are now available along with typed abstracts made by Dorothy Brandner of Eugene Oregon.  Mrs. Brandner did an extraordinary amount of work while she was researching her ancestor.  She copied and cataloged 150 + original deeds and issued a 3-ring binder of 339 pages to the Colrain library.  In 2025 I "discovered" this binder and scanned it all. Dorothy's work can be used to make a new map of all the original land lots in Colrain.  There is such a map now, Ruby Austin's map found in the Patrie History, but we don't know how Austin did her work for the First Division lots which the Brandner deed copies cover.  A new map, based on the actual deeds with the dates and the buyers and sellers would be a nice addition to our knowledge of the history of Colrain.
