Note 245 — Chapter V · THE FIRST PERMANENT SETTLEMENTS

Haven, Lowell Lectures, p. 154; Adams, Three Episodes, vol. I, p. 144; Hazard, Historical Collections, vol. I, p. 391. In regard to the settlement by Thompson, we have documentary evidence in New Hampshire State Papers, vol. XXV, pp. 715, 734; but there is no such proof of the traditionary settlement by Hilton, until 1628, although it is accepted by the earlier historians. Cf. W. H. Fry, New Hampshire as a Royal Province (New York, 1908), pp. 18, 32. Also, J. G. Jenness, Notes on the First Planting of New Hampshire (Portsmouth, 1878), pp. 4, 14 ff.
