Description
Excerpt from Rhode Island Land Evidences, Vol. 1: 1648-1696, Abstracts
The deeds are not arranged chronologically and often early deeds are recorded with later instruments relating to''the same piece of land, apparently to strengthen the title. Probate and other legal records are also contained in these books.
Two other volumes of early colonial records, the Rhode Island Colony Record, 1646 and the Records of the Island of Rhode Island, 1639 also contain land evi deuces.
Although a few of these deeds have been printed in full and in abstract, the mass of this material has been available for study only at great cost of time and effort. Over a year ago the group of gentlemen, whose names follow, determined to do something towards bringing these deeds before students and historians in a reasonably convenient form.
