Summary:
This series consists of a legal document concerning resolution of territorial disputes regarding colonial charters and the
Massachusetts line east of the Hudson River. Massachusetts claimed unlimited inland provisions according to the Massachusetts
Bay Colony Charters of 1620 (Plymouth Charter) and 1628/29; and New York claimed grants based on provisions in the 1664 charter
from King Charles II to his brother, James, Duke of York. The State Capitol fire of 1911 destroyed most of the information
in this document.
