Thispurchase was made by Robert Treat, Samuel Eells, Benj.Fenn, Thomas Clark and Survanius Baldwin. * The conditions of purchase, the price, the names and marks of theIndians conveying all the land comprising the town of Milford at thedifferent purchases will be found in Lamberts History of New HavenColony, 1838. t The early settlers began their year March 25, therefore a confusionand inconsistency of dates frequently occurs and is due to the fact thatthe original records made previous to March may bear date of previousyear. 1640 voted the place be called Milford.
