New Hampshire Grants[edit]

I'm working on getting a map of the grants or at least of the general area, but I would love comments on what needs polishing or expanding, what's not clear, and so on. It's a history of illegal land grants in colonial America which resulted in the creation of the state of Vermont. Thanks for looking at it! jengod 21:21, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Interesting stuff. A couple of things I would recommend:
  1. Cite your sources, i.e. for the quote in the "Real Estate" section.
  2. Cite the court cases involved (i.e., when you say "In 1770, the New York Supreme Court advanced New York's case by declaring all of Wentworth's grants invalid," etc.). If you can find them on findlaw.com or similar web sites, I may be able to write them up, at least briefly. Cheers, RidG (talk) 06:24, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the comments. I'll dig around the law databases and see what I can find, as well as pull out my refs and cite specifics! jengod 23:28, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
