The deed was executed March 13, 1799, by John Caldwell, John Morgan, and Jonathan Brace, original trustees of the Connecticut Land company, which was formed September 5, 1795. The company had selected standard townships, and all townships below the standard were equalized in the division by adding to each a certain number of acres from some other town. Burton was below, and had an annex. The deed conveyed to the grantors: No. 7, in 7th range (Burton), 15,274 acres. Annex No. 1, in No. 9, 9th range (Kirtland), 5,467 acres. Annex No. 1, in 1st range, 16,140 acres. Total 36,881 acres. For the sum of $25,806.06 Ten men participated in this transfer; William Law's portion was $3,461.50, representing about 5245 acres. The territorial legislature had been petitioned to grant a college charter so anxious were the settlers for edution. The year, 1803, the act was passed incorporating the Erie Literary Society. Lands were donated in July, 1806. William Law gave 1,130 acres - the land to revert to his heirs, if every the college should be removed from Burton. A fire destroyed the second building in 1842, and the lands reverted to the heirs of William Law, as shown on Recorder's books at Cleveland, vol. 30, p. 29. His wife was Sarah Hotchkiss. -per Joel Davison (#47201521) who is working on families connected with Century Village, Geauga County Historical Society. Burton Township was the first of 16 townships in Geauga County, settled in 1798 by Thomas Umberfield.]
