The Old Angle Tree Monument.
When Charles I. granted the Patent to the Massachusetts Bay Company in March, 1628, the southern extent of the boundary of the company's domain, was designated as three miles south of the southerly end of Charles River.
Disputes arising as to what was in Plymouth colony and what was in Massachusetts colony, and questions of authority as to disputed territory and homesteads, brought about the de- sire to have the line more real and definite in its marking. The two colonies by their appointed representatives drew up and signed an agreement in 1640 that can best tell its own story as follows :
THE AGREEMENT OF YE BOUNDS BETWIXTE PLYMOTHI AND MASSACHUSETTS.
Whereas ther were tow Comissiones granted by ye 2. jurisdic- tions, ye one of Massachsets Governmente, granted unto John Endicott gent: and Israel Stoughton, gent: the other of New- Plimoth Governmente, to William Bradford, Govr, and Edward Winslow, gent: and both these for ye setting. out, setling & de- terming, of ye bounds & limitts of ye lands betweene ye said jurisdictions, whereby not only this presente age, but ye posteri- tie to come may live peaceably & quietly in yt behalfe. And for as much as ye said Comissioners on both sids have full power so to doe, as appeareth by ye records of both jurisdictions; we therfore, ye said Comissioners above named, doe hereby with one consente & agreemente conclude, determine, and by these presents declare. that all ye marshes at Conahasett yt lye of ye one side of ye river next to Hingam, shall belong to ye jurisdiction of Massachusetts

Plantation; and all ye marshes yt lye on ye other side of ye river next to Sityate shall be long to ye jurisdiction of New-Plimoth. And further, we doe hearby agree, determine, and conclude, yt the bounds of ye limites between both of ye said jurisdictions are as followeth viz, from ye mouth of ye brooke yt runeth into Chon- ahansett, marshes (which we call by ye name of Bound-brooke) with a stright & directe line to ye midle of a great ponde, yt lyeth on ye right hand of ye uper path, or commone way, yt leadeth be- tweene Waimoth and Plimoth close to ye pathi [233] we go alonge, which was formerly named (and still we desire may be caled) Accord pond lying about five or 6 myles from Weimoth southerly; and from thence with a straight line to ye southermost part of Charles river, & 3 myles southerly, inward into ye countrie, ac- cording as is expresed in ye patente granted by his Matie to ye Company of Massachusetts Plantation.
