I am trying to track the FIRST land transactions of Little Compton & Tiverton. A visit to the Registry of Deed in Fall River, BRISTOL County, Massachusetts shows the land was transferred in 1699 from New Plimouth Colony by William Bradford the Governor of the Plimouth Colony. Where can I find the Pocasset Purchase which includes Tiverton & (Specially) Little Compton? If John Springer (Grantor) sold on March 2 1716 to Joseph Anthony Tiverton (Bk. 3,Pg. 155) would that not make him eligible to become a freeman because he owned land? \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) +-------------------------------oOOo (_) oOOo---------------------+ | Bailey, Borden, Brayton, Coggeshall, Cook, Easton | | Franklin, FOSTER, Freelove, Goff, Griffin, Howard | | Ingraham, Kay, Lake, Lewis, Perry, Smith, Stone, | | SPRINGER,Tennis,West,Winslow,Wordell,Vickery | +-------------------------------------------------Oooo. -----------------+ I'm Searchin' ( ) Dave Springer .oooO ) / 73 Hall Street ( ) (_/ Fall River, MA 02724 \ ( \_) dbspring@earthlink.net Web Site: <http://davespringer.homestead.com/index.html>
