Excerpt from History of the Indian Wars: To Which Is Prefixed a Short Account of the Discovery of America by Columbus, and of the Landing of Our Forefathers at Plymouth, With Their Most Remarkable Engagements With the Indians in New England, From Their First Landing, in 1620, Until the Death Of These easy terms induced a great number from Mas sachusetts and Connecticut to become settlers, and the river towns were soon taken up by their most industri ous and enterprising sons. New Hampshire claimed 1the jurisdiction as far as to within twenty miles of the Hudson river, from thence westerlyto lake Champlain, and then northerly to the forty-fifth degree of latitude. This was disputed by new' York, who pretended to claim as far east as Connecticut river. This dispute, however, rather facilitated than otherwise the settlement of the country. Both parties continued to give grants of'the lands, and to encourage their settlement; and the dispute was never finally put, at rest till the territory was by act of Congress admitted into the Union as an independent state, under the name of Vermont. All those towns that lie between Connecticut river and the Green mountains were for many years known only by the name of the New Hampshire Grants, and acknow ledged no other jurisdiction but of that colony.
