The deed found in book 2 on pages 419–420 covered two parcels on the Peters Plan: C33 (back lot) and G10 (first lot). However, the relative dimensions (i.e., length vs. width) of the first lot do not seem to match G10 on the Peters Plan. Further, the area of Bar Harbor marked "Ireson Hill" on some maps is in the area of lots B21 and B22. More research is needed on this point.
This web page will follow transactions involving the first lot (G10).
