Between 1639 and 1642, the town of Rowley, Massachusetts, distributeda little over 2,000 acres to 95 families—an average of just 23 acres perfamily, even though the grant to the town was for many thousand acres.Although most grants were for under 20 acres, some families receivedconsiderably more.The founders of Rowley wanted to recreate thehierarchical social order they had known in England.Source: David Grayson Allen, In English Ways:The Movement of Societies and theTransferal of English Local Law and Custom to Massachusetts Bay in the SeventeenthCentury (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1981), p. 32.
