This series consists of a legal document concerning resolution of territorial disputes regarding colonial charters and the Massachusetts line east of the Hudson River. Massachusetts claimed unlimited inland provisions according to the Massachusetts Bay Colony Charters of 1620 (Plymouth Charter) and 1628/29; and New York claimed grants based on provisions in the 1664 charter from King Charles II to his brother, James, Duke of York. The State Capitol fire of 1911 destroyed most of the information in this document.
