Part I - General View- History

1761 - The ability which the American colonies had displayed throughout the war, inspired 
the British parliament with a spirit of jealousy against them, which discovered itself before 
the declaration of peace.  This year and the year after were remarkable for severe 
droughts.  John Temple was appointed lieutenant governor but never officiated.  About 60 
townships were laid out during this and the last year, some on the east and some on the 
west side of the Connecticut river.
