Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Episcopal Church in Haddam
For many years palefaces had been sailing by the green hills south of Middletown. In 1652 Captain John Gullick Obtained land there from the Indians, and in October, 1660, the legislature named a committee to purchase the whole region. The deal was closed on May 20, 1662, when four kings and two queens signed away their rights in return for articles probably worth less than one hundred dollars. They practically gave away a huge chunk of land, from the southern limit of Middletown to Cove Meadow in Chester.
