[Note: In 1940, Miss Agnes K. Lawson, curator of the Vermont Historical Society Library and Museum prepared the following catalogue of the Matt B. Jones documents, together with his mar- ginal annotations on the documents. For purposes of easier iden- tification of any specific document in the collection, it has appeared useful to copy Miss Lawson's list in toto rather than to make a new catalogue which would not necessarily follow the order in which the documents are filed. Miss Lawson's list comprises thirteen type- written pages, one copy of which is in the author's files.]

Kempe. Photostats of the Report and Appendices made by Atty. Gen. John Tabor Kempe of New York to Governor Dunmore in March 1771 as requested by the latter. His action was occasioned by the petitions, one to the King and one to Gov. D., signed by inhabitants on the New Hampshire Grants east of the Green Mountains in the autumn of 1770. See Vermont in the Making pp. 177-178.
This Report is found in British Public Record Office C.O. 5/1102 pp. 121-141 and is followed by numerous appendices referred to in the text of the report. Photostats of such appendices as were not readily found in print were obtained as well as some of those that were in print. It may be noted that the Report and some appendices were photo- stated in reduced size while others are full size.
At the top of p. 130 of the Ms. Report Kempe states that many settlers on the N. H. Grants purchased their land on condition that they pay no money unless their New Hampshire titles were validated. This, if true, has an important bearing upon the good faith of settlers on the N. H. Grants, but was not referred to in Vt. in the Making as no confirmation was found.

Map. Photostat of a map or plan in British Public Record Office which shows a plan for the expansion of Vermont west of Connecticut River toward or to Lake Erie. The notation upon it seems to indicate that it shows a part of the plan involved in the Haldimand Negotiations. Reference at side M.P.G. 252 C.O. 5.8.77.
Map. A photostat of the original map sent by Gov. Moore in 1766 is also included among these photostats. The outlines in red show the New York Grants all of which except Princetown & some in Bennington & Shaftsbury were military. That only 64 of Wentworth's 128 township grants are outlines shows how little was known as to his land grant activities even at that date. A check up of N. Y. Patents indicates that not all of Bennington & Pownal were granted by N. Y. although far the larger part certainly was.
