The Hatfield Grant was issued on January 29,1801 in order to settle land claims in what was then known as Annapolis County. The land in question had previously been granted under the “Botsford Grant” in 1784 but the grantees didn't fulfill the conditions of the grant and the property was forfeited to the Crown. The lands in question had been settled by other people who had made improvements and wanted to have legal title to their property. Many of those included as grantees were given their property as a reward for military services during the American Revolution or as compensation because their property in the US had been confiscated because they had remained loyal to England. The “Hatfield Grant” consisted of 91,632 acres and was issued to 275 individuals and one Church. It is also known as the Grant of Confirmation. The area was designated by the name of the Township of Digby and was still part of the County of Annapolis.
