Agreement concerning land grants in New Plymouth, signed by Hamilton, Arundell and Surrey, F. Carlile, Sterline H. Matrauers, and Ferde Gorges

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.
