Bowen, parts ii. and iii., with maps of Connecticut (1720) and Rhode Island (1728); Rhode Island Col. Records, iv. 370; Palfrey, iv. 232; R. I. Hist. Mag., July, 1884, p. 51; and the map in Arnold’s Rhode Island, ii. 132, showing the claims of Connecticut. Cf. Foster’s Stephen Hopkins, i. 144. Since Vol. III. was printed some light has been thrown on the earlier disputes over the Rhode Island and Connecticut bounds through the publication by the Mass. Hist. Soc. of the Trumbull Papers, vol. i. (pp. 40, 76), edited by Chas. Deane, who gives references. Rhode Island’s answer to Connecticut about their bounds in 1698, and other papers pertaining, are also printed with references in the Trumbull Papers, i. p. 196, etc.
