As promised, a list of many, but not all, of the sources I used in my research for Hatfield 1677. I discovered the story of Massachusetts Bay Puritan colonists Benjamin and Martha Waite and their adversary, the Algonquian sachem Ashpelon, at the Carlsbad, California genealogical library in 1993. I continued my research in the summer of 2020 and throughout the three years I spent writing and revising Hatfield 1677.

Jefferys, Thomas. Map of New England Colonies 1774. New England. Scale ca. 1:440,000 Zoom into this map at maps.bpl.org. Call Number: G3720 1774.J44 This large, detailed map of New England was compiled by Braddock Mead (alias John Green), and first published by Thomas Jefferys in 1755. Green was an Irish translator, geographer, and editor, as well as one of the most talented British mapmakers at mid-century. The map was re-published at the outset of the American Revolution, as it remained the most accurate and detailed survey of New England. Of interest are engraved double lines found beneath certain placenames, including Boston. These lines indicate cities whose longitude had been calculated with the aid of the newly invented marine chronometer.
