| Description | Memorial in behalf of the Proprietors of twelve townships lying in the territory of Sagadahock, granted to James Duncan and others, by the Province of Massachusetts Bay, repeats a petition presented in 1763 to the King showing that the territory of Sagahadock and the adjacent islands were granted to the inhabitants of Massachusetts Bay by William and Mary, and desiring him to confirm it, this petition was referred to the Board of Trade which considered the advisability of such a step being taken, desires a speedy settlement either by confirmation of former grants, or by erecting the district into a separate province, as the inhabitants are at present in great distress because of this uncertainty |
