You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There seems to have been other surveyors also according to the article I went through .
-----quote---
In 1699-1701 local surveyors Thomas Pierson and Isaac Taylor were commissioned to survey the boundaries,but they completed it in just ten days with chain and compass.Again in 1750 the commissioners hired local surveyors to mark a trans -peninsular line,which was also not successful. Finally Mason and Dixon surveyed and completed the accomplishment.
