][Note: In current U.S. usage, a "plat" is a map of a piece of land, but in British usage, and evidently in the era these Minutes were taken in the U.S., a "plat" can/could also be the same thing as a "plot," a small piece of land such as a cemetery plot. Salomon usually used the term "plat," though once in a while he wrote "plot." We have transcribed whichever he wrote, though at times it is difficult to decipher one from the other.]
