NOTE 6, pp. 19, 229J--Roger Conant. " The Landing of the Pilgrims,"
&c., by J. w. Thornton, Esq, chap. ix. pp. 219, 229, 262,
"shows that there was a designed and a political unity between the
Colonies at Cape Ann and Salem, from 1624 ; aiad that Massachusetts
as a body politic dates from I624 ; and that the successive accretions
or growth of the colony were part ancl parcel of that political unit.
Roger Conant was the founder, not of Cape Ann, nor of Salem only,
but of Massachusetts. Fidelity to facts, and to. the truth of history,
admits of his having no other or subordinate rank. In a word, Plymouth
Colony began in I62o, under Carver ; Massachusetts in 1624,
under Conaut."
