not seven as the fact was.   This, however, was so expressed in conformity with the new centre, which had been established a mile or more farther west, leaving them not more than six miles on the west side, and on the east six miles would extend to, and even beyond the Major's purchase, so called, of which the great cedar swamp in Hanson constitutes a principal part, and which, being earlier grant, was the utmost limit of their purchase on that side of the town.   By this additional grant, therefore, they obtained their two miles on the north towards the Massachusetts Colony line, and a part on the south, but little, if any, on the east and west.   On the south, the six miles would extend into the Indian settlement at Titicut, which the court reserved in all their subsequent adjacent grants.   This reserve had been early made to the Titicut Indians, extending three miles on each side of the river.   In the former account of Bridgewater, it is stated that the Indian plantation of Titicut was granted by Chickatabut, a Sachem of Massachusetts living at Neponsit.   This is probably incorrect, as he died in 1633, of the small pox; and Titicut, as we have already seen, was not established till after 1644, when it was spoken of as "being about to be erected."   If granted at all, therefore, it must have been done by his son Josias Chickatabut or Wampatuck, who lived at Mattakeset, or Pembroke, and who went to the Mohawk country after 1666, and there died, and whose son Josiah gave a deed of confirmation of the Titicut purchase to Bridgewater in 1686, who had a son Jeremy, whose son, Charles Josiah, was the last of the race.   If it was ever granted, or was anything more than a reserve, the limits were probably not very accurately defined; as the court in their grants round about it required the grantees not to encroach or late their lands "too near to Titicut," or to "molest the Indians."   There seems to have been some uncertainty as to the precise limits of the respective jurisdictions of Massasoit and Chickatabut.   We find on record the deposition of five Indians taken before Increase Nowell, John Eliot, and John Hoare in 1650, as follows: — "We do all affirm, that Chickatabut's bounds did extend from Nishamagoguanett, near Duxbury mill, to Titicut, near Taunton, and to Nunckatateset, (a pond in Bridgewater,) and from thence in a straight line to Wanamampuke, (Whiting's Pond in Wrentham,) which is the head of Charles River, this they do all solemnly affirm."   Not-
