Scott and Kempe, who owned the large patent in Hebron, between DeForest and Munro, lived in New York City. The other names recited in the patent grant are merely fictitious, none but Scott and Kempe owning any of the land. But government would only grant 1000 acres to one person, so to obtain the quantity of land they desired, they got other signatures to their application. Kempe was a Tory in the Revolution, and his part of the patent was therefore confiscated.
