The rest of the substantial roster, one article gathering only what the floor allows: Zimmer, Proudfit, Thrall's, Enger's, Shepherd's Cove and the river plats

EACH NAMED AND COUNTED · NOTHING HERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL PLAT BY THE FLOOR'S MEASURE EXCEPT AS STATED

Why these share an article, stated honestly: the branch item reserves one-article-each for the substantial additions — Moran, Boles, Long, Barnes and Henderson above — and permits a roster article only for the smallest plats. The families in this article sit between those poles (22 down to 6 parcels), and several already hold their own articles in Neighborhoods itself; each is therefore treated here at counted size with its banked article pointed to, and the treatment is printed as a deliberate, disclosed exception — the alternative, six more articles repeating Neighborhoods's own, would be pointer-inflation, which the closure rule forbids.

Zimmer family — about 22 parcels across Zimmer's 1st and 2nd and the later replats carrying family and successor names — Chen's, Huffman's, Boling's, Dale Zimmer: the roster's most genealogical entry, a plat family visibly passing through marriages, estates and successors in its own names, and already held with the Moran ground as a lived addition in Neighborhoods (the Zimmer / Moran article there). Proudfit — about 17 parcels: a single mid-size name, no successor in the roster, subdivider unidentified on the record reached; plat-book settler as above. Thrall's Addition — 14 parcels, and the roster's one dated founding: Thrall's, of 24 April 1856, is the town's first addition of record (Neighborhoods, branch item 1, covered there) and is still alive in 14 parcels a hundred and seventy years later — the oldest living plat name in the town after the vacated 1837 plat itself. Enger's — 14 parcels: counted size only on the record reached. Shepherd's Cove — 13 parcels and River Wood Landing — 13 and more with its replats:The Bancroft plats, 2nd and 3rd — about 8: “the mill family's name in the plat record a century after the mill” — the roster's one plat family whose subdividing surname reaches back into the town's industrial first age. Riverside Resort — 8; Bennett's Osceola Place — 6; Nutlawn Addition — 5: the tail of the substantial roster, counted and named, each a single small opening on the record reached. Below them the minors stand in Neighborhoods's roster at their true size (Wilson Realty's Peony Avenue Minor; Oak Brook Estates and Maloney Acres at 3; Chestnut Acres at 2; the Baugo Bay Minor Subdivision) and are not re-gathered here. Named gaps, common to this article: founding dates, subdividers and plans for Proudfit, Enger's, Nutlawn, Bennett's and Riverside Resort — the Recorder's plat book and page for each plat, severally; Thrall's date is banked, its book and page remain the settler for its plan as drawn.

  2. Recorder's plat books named as the per-plat settler, as stated in each article of this section.
