Custodial history
Morse purchased the documents in April, 1932 and March, 1934 from Bernard Quaritch Limited. The agreement was described as coming from 'The Library of Edward Dalton, LL.D., F.S.A., formerly of Dunkirk House, Nailsworth, Glos., collected during the early part of the 19th century (Sold by Order of Mrs. A.M. Turner).' The document was donated to Dalhousie University in the 1930s.
Scope and content
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.
