Abstract

The document, although undated, and in spite of an earlier note on the back giving its data as November 1st, 1638, was evidently one of several drawn up as a result of the meeting of the Council for New England held on February 3rd, 1634/5. The original division of the territory was cancelled and a new partition made, dividing it apparently into seven parts. Lord Gorges is the one whose grant is here described.
