Excerpt from The Warwick Patent Council of Plymouth in 1630 granted this whole tract to the Earl of Warwick and it had been confirmed to him by a patent from King Charles I. He took the statement from an older writer, perhaps from Dr. Douglass' Summary, which was published in 1753, or, it may be, from Neal's History, published in 1720, but it is pretty certain that the only patent of Connecticut granted by a king of England was the charter to the Governor and Company granted by Charles II., dated April 23, 1662.
