Note 642 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

[Governor Bell discovered in 1870 what is known as the Hilton or Squamscott patent, of March 12, 1629, and it is printed in the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1870, p. 264; it was found not to agree as to its bounds with Piscataqua patent. Jenness, in his Notes, contends that Wiggin set up the title of Massachusetts to the territory under the 1628/29 charter. It was the conclusion of Mr. C. W. Tuttle (a studious explorer of New Hampshire history, who died July 18, 1881; cf. Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xix. 2, 11) that Bloody Point, being included in both grants, became the cause of the trouble between Neale and Wiggin, as told by Hubbard.—Ed.]
