Besides the 3,000 acres, bought of Paul and William Dudley, Captain Papillon had bought the 3,000 acres of the Hon. William Stoughton, adjoining his tract on the north; thus making 6,000 acres which he owned in the south-west corner of Oxford, and bounding upon Dudley on the south, and butting on the west upon Sturbridge east line. All these lands were now for sale. These Papillon lands embraced all that part of Charlton taken with part of Sturbridge and Dudley to form Southbridge, covering a large part of the center village and water-power, a part of which had previously been sold to Col. Marcy and Col. Thomas Cheney.

SOUTH LINE OF MASSACHUSETTS AND EQUIVALENT LANDS.
IN the year 1713 the Province of Massachusetts and the Col- ony of Connecticut, in order to make an amicable settlement of the line of jurisdiction between them, which for a period of about seventy years had been a matter of dispute, entered into an agreement for running a conventional line, that whereas the three towns of Woodstock, Enfield, and Suffield had been grant- ed and settled by Massachusetts, and that she had made several grants along that line which fell south of the same, it was mu- tually agreed that the three towns should continue under the ju- risdiction of Massachusetts, and those several grants remain un- disturbed to the grantees.
In consideration that Massachusetts should hold in future the jurisdiction over these towns, and said grants remain undisturbed, she was to grant to Connecticut as an equivalent an equal num- ber of acres of land, as should be found by actual survey, in the three towns south of said line, and the several grants as aforesaid.
These equivalent lands to be selected by Connecticut from any wild lands in Massachusetts not by her heretofore granted.
The quantity of lands in each of the three towns south of the line of 1713, and the grants to individuals as before stated, were as follows :

This quantity of the equivalent lands were selected and sur- veyed in the following places by Matthew Allyn, Roger Wolcott, and Ebenezer Pomroy, Commissioners appointed by Connecti- ent, and Col. Jolm Chandler, of Woodstock.
First survey, east of Hadley, now Belchertown, May 4, 1715 .... 21,976 acres.

107.793 =
All the aforementioned lands except 2,000 acres to Governor Gurdon Saltonstall, 105,793 acres, were sold by order of Con- necticut at public auction in one lot, for the sinn of £683, and £500 appropriated for the benefit of Yale College.
The following are the names of the purchasers in sixteen shares in common and undivided :

§ Col. John Stodard, of Northampton, Mass.

John Read, of Lone Town, now Reading, Ct.
He owned the 10,000 acres now in Ware, Mass.
The survey of 43,943 acres, located on the west side of the Connecticut River, above the present north line of Massachu- setts, was, at the time the survey was made, claimed as a part of the territory of that province, but by the establishing of this north line, which had been in dispute between Massachusetts and New Hampshire many years, in the year 1740, by an arbi- trary line fixed by the King of England and his Council, this tract fell to Vermont, being above, and adjoining the town of Brattleboro in that State, and was a loss to the purchasers.
LAND SPECULATION.
At the time of the sale at anetion of these Equivalent Lands at Hartford in 1716, there was raging a mania for securing pos- session of interior wild lands.
The grants for Oxford and Woodstock, made in 1683, partook of this character. The plan was first to obtain a grant for a town on condition of furnishing thirty to sixty families as set- tlers, they to take half or such part of the grant as could be agreed upon with the grantees, who had secured the tract of land, generally six to eight miles square.
When these planters were settled on the territory granted, all

SOUTH LINE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
the remaining lands were the property of the grantees ; as in the case of the grant for Oxford, these grantees secured to them- selves 30,000 acres, divided into ten tracts of 3,000 acres each.
The excitement did not begin to rage much till the close of the Queen Anne war, begun in 1702 and closed by the Treaty of Utrecht, July 13, 1713. That year was the grant for Rutland, twelve miles square; only one-fourth given to settlers ; then Leicester followed, same year, and within twenty-two years from this last date, to 1735, all the territory of the County of Wor- cester had been granted, besides a large portion of the western part of Massachusetts, and large tracts of land granted for towns, now in New Hampshire, ent off by the arbitrary north line of Massachusetts fixed by the crown of England in 1740.
This land mania was epidemical among the most distinguished persons in the province of Massachusetts, and the colony of Connecticut at this period.
It embraced the governors, judges of the courts, many of the most distinguished clergymen, officers of the colleges, and mer- chants, all united in the scramble for these lands .*
Massachusetts had much vexation and long controversies in establishing her boundary lines as they now exist.
The only lines that are in accord with those described in her charter are her south line. beginning in Wrentham, at Wood- ward and Saffery's Stake, fixed in 1642, and extending to her west line against New York ; and that portion of her north line beginning at the Atlantic Ocean, three miles north of the mouth of the Merrimack River, and running to the bend of that river, at Chelmsford ; the remainder of that north line is an arbitrary line fixed by the crown of England. The same may be said of her line against Rhode Island. That is an arbitrary line, not in accord with her charter, but fixed by the king of England.
Her west line against New York is a conventional line, fixed

by commissioners appointed by the congress of the Confedera- tion in 1785-Thomas Hutchins, geographer of Congress, John Ewing, and Dr. David Rittenhouse. Their report bears date 1787.
Something further may be expected relating to the fixing of the bounds of the territory of Massachusetts.

VOLUME I.
Page 350, line 29, Lemuel Morris should read Samuel Mor ris. He was the youngest son of Edward Morris, one of the founders of Woodstock. This Samuel Morris was born at Rox- bury, Massachusetts, in 1671. He removed to Woodstock about eighteen years after the town was founded, and located at the north-east corner of the grant, near what is now New Boston. in the Muddybrook Parish. His lands bordered on the Quine- bang River, extending westward, and partly in the grant, after- ward Thompson, so named in honor of Major Robert Thomp- son, who owned large tracts of land in that vicinity.
For many years he was the agent of Major Thompson, and afterward for his heirs. He was also the agent for Massachusetts for overseeing the Nipmuck Indians, located on the Black James Reservation, surveyed to these Indians in 1684. For this agency he took the name of Governor, by which he was known as Governor Morris. In many respects he became a noted person in the town of Woodstock and vicinity.
In 1738 he sold 930 acres of land to John Vinton, of Stone- ham, one of the early settlers of Dudley. In this deed he is styled. " Samuel Morris, inholder, residing on the road leading from Brookfield and Oxford to Providence."
When the pews in the Second meeting-house erected in Woodstock were dignified, he was awarded the second choice ; the Hon. John Chandler being considered first in dignity of character.
He was the ancestor of the late Commodore Charles Morris.

ERRATA.
See page 351, this vol. : Read, instead of Clement Corbin (the first burial in the old cemetery, which now adjoins the Meeting House in the south parish of Woodstock), Edward Morris, Senior, whose grave is at the extreme south-west corner of that cemetery, the memorial stone has the inscription as follows: "Here lies buried ye body of Edward Morris, deceased ye - 1689." He was elected Selectman in 1677, at Roxbury, and continued in that office until he removed as one of the founders of this town in 1686. He was a distinguished person in the colony of Massa- chusetts; was for nine years one of the council of the colonial Governor, and a deputy in the General Court.
He had four sons: Isaac, the oldest, born in 1656, who was one of the four men, viz, Samuel Ruggles, John Curtis, John Ruggles, and Isaac Morris, selected by Roxbury, in 1684, to visit the Nipmuck country, where it was proposed to locate a grant for this town, and report the best place. See page 260 this volnine: The other three brothers, Edward, Junior, known as Deacon Edward, born in 1658; Ebenezer, born in 1664, both removed with their father, and were among the founders; and Samuel, as before stated. Deacon Edward married Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Bowen, another of the founders; he died in 1727. It was his daughter, Prudence, born Ang. 9, 1702. who married Moses Marcy, son of John Marcy, another of the founders, born April 18, 1702, and who, with five children, moved and settled on the borders of Quinebang River in the year 1732, and became a principal inhabitant and one of the founders of Sturbridge, and there raised up six other children (see pp. 29 and 31, Vol. II.)
This Deacon Edward was Selectman of Woodstock from 1697 to 1720, and his brother Ebenezer was Selectman most of the same period. The Morris family were among the most enter- prising in this town many years. Their blood, by marriage, is mixed with the Bowens and Mareys, from which has originated
