Rev, Thomas F. Davies, Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts and a former recor of Chriet Bpiscd:ad church, Nor- widh, has contributed an articie on The Curlous Jog in Our Southern Boundary in the current issue of The Pastpral Staff, the oftiolal organ of his diocese, in which he gives some interesting facts about the pecular jog in the Connecticat-Massachu- setts state line at Suffield. He writes “If you look at & map of Massacnusetts i #ts southern boundary line, in Hampden county, you will notice a. strange_little Jog jutting down into Connecticut. Th+ history of that bit of our territory is an interesting one. It is almast wo 1siies square and along its eastern boundary line are the Congamond or Congamuc lakes, sometimes called the Southw.ck ponds. I have lately made a t-ip down to &ee them and they are really beautiful, cov- ering abuut 600 acres, with well wooded hilly banks. ‘These ponds had much effect in determining the present boundary. Aft- er a line was run between the two coloni in 1642 by two surveyors, Messrs Wood- ward and Saffery, employed by Massachu- setts, there was much dis;ute about the boundary, causing cqnsiderable animosi- ty; and several other surveys were made For a long time the towns of Woudstoc! Somers, Enfield and Suffield, now in_Con necticut, were claimed as a part of Mass- achusetis. Even after it wes shown ir 1713 that they-lay within the territory of Connectiout, Massachusetts still claim- ed jurisdictiog over them,, but made & compensatory grant of an equal exten: her own territory to Connecticut. T! grant was known as the “Equ Lands” and the towns of Beichertcwn, Ware and Pelham were orig:maiy i cluded in it. Sold Neariy All Of It. “In 1716 Connecticut sold most of all this land to individuals in Massachusetts, among whom was Gov. Jona.han beich | for $2,274, which sum was given to Yale college.
