I read it to be shares, Anne, no mention of acreage:

"... After the whole be computed into shares which computation is six thousand shares we having heard the several claims of the whole have made and drawn a list or schedule of our settlement & resolve werein is each persons name with their respective shares & proportion annexed thereto according to the town vote and committed to record which record is a final settlement of said property..."
