Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Somerville´s History Origin and Settlement. - Grants, Etc. - Deed from Web-Cowet and Squaw-sachem. - Early Topography. - First Settlers. - Governor Winthrop´s Ten Hills Farm. Somerville was formerly a part of Charlestown, that honored ancestor of the towns of the Mystic valley, - and whose bounds originally ran "eight miles into the country from their meeting house," and included Woburn, Stoneham, Winchester, Burlington, a part of Arlington and Medford, Somerville, Maiden, Everett and the Bunker Hill peninsula, and whose early history is the heritage of each. New towns one after another were broken off from the old, the last being Somerville in 1842, and in this account the name Somerville is used in narrating the events which have occurred within its limits, since its first settlement. The title of the white man, whether Spanish, French, Dutch, or English, to the home of the Indian, rested usually in a royal grant; "by turf and by twig," and in the name of their king and religion they took possession, seldom consulting the aboriginal owner. The title to the territory of Somerville has this royal authority and more. First, in the grant of James I to the Plymouth Council of all lands between 40° and 48° N. latitude from sea to sea. Second, by grant of the Plymouth Council, March 19, 1628, to the Massachusetts Bay Company. Third, by royal charter, March 4, 1629, to the Massachusetts Bay Company, which confirmed the grant of 1628; and fourth, a title not every colony can claim, a deed from an Indian sovereign, "Squa-Sachem." Other grants covered the territory and caused much trouble. The Plymouth people had already, in 1622, granted ten miles along the shore and thirty miles inland, to Robert Gorges; he dying, his brother John, in 1624, leased to John Oldham and John Dorrill all land between the Charles and Saugus Rivers, for five miles up the Charles, and three up the Saugus. And again John Gorges, in 1628, deeded to Sir William Brereton all the land between Charles River and Nahant, for twenty miles inland.
