"The town records as copied begin with the date of<br />
Sept. 27, 1643. Those of the first three years after<br />
the incorporation are not in a condition to be read.<br />
At the date above mentioned the Pequot war was<br />
going on, and there being more or less fear of Indian<br />
invasion, " it was agreed that there be a constant<br />
watch in the township, — that is to say, in four different<br />
quarters, — at Edward Winslow's, at Mr. William<br />
Thomas', at Mr. Thomas Bourne's, and the fourth<br />
at Robert Barker's. Edward Winslow, Lieut. Na-<br />
thaniel Thomas, Josiah Winslow, and William Brookes<br />
have charge there ; that Robert Carver, John Rouse,<br />
Edward Bumpus, and Edward Winslow and families<br />
be of the guard under Edward Winslow ; James Pit-<br />
ney, Mr. Thomas' family, and Mr. Buckley's under<br />
Lieut. Nathaniel Thomas ; that Mr. Bourne's family,<br />
Robert Waterman, John Bourne, Roger Cook, John<br />
Russell, '''Luke Lilly''', Kenelm Winslow, and James<br />
Adams be under Josiah Winslow ; that Gilbert<br />
Brookes, Nathaniel Byram, Robert Barker, William<br />
Bardin, John Barker, Mr. Howell, and Edward<br />
Bourne be under William Brookes ; that a guard of<br />
two at least be maintained out of these, and that a<br />
sentinel be maintained all day at the place of guard ;<br />
that for fourteen days at least every man shall lodge<br />
in his clothes with arms ready at his bedside ; that in<br />
case of an alarm at night from any other township<br />
every guard discharge only one piece, but if in our<br />
own town then two pieces."UNIQ6f7666a5560ba6e0-ref-00001546-QINU
"The earliest records relate chiefly to the election of<br />
officers and grants of land. __In February, 1643-<br />
44__, grants were made to John Thomas and Robert<br />
Chambers at the request of Edward Winslow, who<br />
described them as his servants, and William Thomas<br />
and William Vassall were appointed to lay out to the<br />
several inhabitants on the north of Green's Harbor<br />
River all the meadow undisposed of on that side of<br />
the river, and also the marshes undisposed of on the<br />
south side of the river, according to their discretion.<br />
<u>On the 14th of that month</u> there were laid out to<br />
Thomas Bourne, Josiah Winslow, Kenelm Winslow,<br />
John Russell, John Dingley, Thomas Chillingsworth,<br />
Roger Cooke, and '''Luke Lilly'''. In April, 1644, there<br />
was " granted to John Rouse the great island next<br />
the cut which borders the beach, about ten acres."<br />
It is possible that an investigation of this grant may<br />
throw some light on the direction and character of<br />
the passage-cut in 1633."UNIQ6f7666a5560ba6e0-ref-00001549-QINU
