This document reached an agreement between early settlers in Wainscott regarding the privilege or passing through the land of Zephaniah Hedges using a cart. The document granted Osborn and the settlers of Wainscott the right to access the property Hedges owned, including his "beach close." The document references changes in road access and an ongoing disagreement. This agreement between Zephaniah Hedges and Elisha Osborn, Jr. is undated. Zephaniah Hedges may have been born in 1768 and died in 1847. The name Elisha was used in multiple generations of the Osborn family, and it is difficult to be certain which Elisha Osborn Jr. would be the Elisha who signed this agreement, since some genealogists claim Elisha Osborn (1733-1802), son of Elisha Osborn and Elizabeth Leek, also had a son Elisha Osborn (1769-1856). Both of these Elisha Osborns would have been contemporaries to Zephaniah Hedges. However, Zephaniah's name was much less commonly used in the Hedges family, so his lifespan is used to guess at a date range for this document.
