"Division of the Long Lots and Commons
In the 1660s and 1670s, Fairfield began purchasing additional land from the Indians, extending well into the area that is now Redding.  (Fairfield’s northern boundary was present-day Cross Highway in Redding.)  ...In 1671, Fairfield set aside a half-mile-wide swath of land running approximately east-west and two miles north of the King’s Highway.  A mile-wide tract, intersecting the Half-Mile Common at its center, extended to the northern boundary of Fairfield, today’s Cross Highway in Redding.  Land on either side of the Mile Common was divided into long, narrow parcels, which were distributed as dividends to Fairfield proprietors. -- “long lots” were about thirteen and a half miles long and ranged in width from a mere fifty feet to 875 feet. Might include parts of Bethel, Newtown, Easton, Weston, Wilton perhaps even a bit of Trumbull or Monroe

from http://www.historyofredding.com/HRearlysettlers.htm This is an incredible site by the way.

This might mean that the family did not move frequently, but that the boundaries changed frequently. In some cases (Newtown, for instance) initially, the first proprietors had multiple lots in separate locations- a homelot, and meadow or woodlots.

Daniel, son of Jehue (2) Burr, lived in Greenfield, Aspetuck river, and was called Daniel Burr, of Upper Meadow (another name for Greenfield area). December 19, 1687, he was given by his father twelve acres of land at the Upper Meadow, with a house and barn, on the east side of the Mill river. He married (first) Hannah, daughter of John Banks. He married (second) Mary.
