Description
Records relating to colonial land settlement and distribution, created by or related to the Plymouth Company, otherwise known as the Kennebec Proprietors who laid claim to roughly 1,500 square miles on either side of the Kennebec River in the decades before the American Revolution. Folder 13 contains a detailed list of over 25 sets of documents sent by the Kennebec Proprietors to be transported on the ship Halifax for company agent and proprietor Florentius Vassall. These documents were ostensibly included in preparation for a legal defense of their title.
This folder is part of a larger archival collection (Coll. 60,) which is completely digitized. To search the entire collection visit our Beyond Borders search page
