Conegocheague - His Lordships's Kindness

Date                To Whom Leased          Acres       Tenant
    Annual Rent             Alien Fine
3-5-1763        James Kendall               100         Jacob Pryliman
  1-0-0                      2-0-0
6-13-1763       James Stockwell           115         Jacob Priliman
  1-3-0                     2-6-0

What does this mean?   Does this mean that Jacob Pryliman lived on the land
and let James Kendall rent and farm 100 acres?  Who paid the Alien fine, the
tenant or the "to whom leased"?   Anyone know how to interpret the annual rent
or alien fine?
