[Talk-us-massachusetts] perambulating bounds

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

One of the Bedford/Concord markers <https://goo.gl/photos/QN5jRUJ3bgtgoQEt7>
bears painted survey dates of 55 and 70.

I added this stone
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4783742794#map=16/42.4807/-71.3180> to
"Open Street Map" with tags historic=boundary_stone, inscription="B C",
source=survey and description=Granite Post
