*ExPLANATION.-The dates given are those of the survey 
of each township, into sections and quarter sections. These 
dates are important, in this connection. Thus we see that, 
in 1833, the Pecatonica was called "Peekatolake," and that, 
the same year, there is a house in the present town of Clarno, 
noted by the surveyor as "Pait's House" (meaning, however, 
"Payne's House," undoubtedly); and so on. 
tUpdoubtedly intended for' 'P aynei's House"(JspmPayne).
