The Surveyorship was separated from the office of Secretary in 1641/2.
After 1697, except for brief intervals (1711-16 and 1716/7-17) there were

two Surveyors General, one for each shore. The Constitution of 1776 made no
provision for this office and assigned its functions, such as they were, to
the Governor and Council. After 1716/7, except for brief intervals (1727-34,
1746-48, 1768-71, and 1774-76), the Lieutenant Governor, or in his absence
the President of the Council, held one or the other of the two Surveyorships.
