ll0.1 This statement about Guiford being an
independent republic, has got a strangely wide
and strong hold but il is without foundation in
fact. IL probably originated in a statement writ

able to no oEe but the Parliament of England,
but IL was true of Gulf ,rd no more than any of
the other towns, most of which, In the peculiar
circumstances of the times, did exercise the
rights practically of self governing little repub.
lies. The Guilford charter was the same as all
Of the others in this respect, comforting the same
rights and powers.
The first charter, which covered two.thirds
of the town. was from Massachusetts anu was
granted about 1850. to Captain Gallup's CON-
pany and descendants" This was company
from Massachusetts Bay, commanded by Capt
Gallup, in the Canada expedition of 1850, and
as the colony had no money, all IL could pay was
land grants. The first town granted by New
Hampshire was Remington, the next Halifax
and Guilford was afterward granted six miles
square east OF Halifax. In is64 the land was
found not to belong 70 Massachusetts, but TO be
the name Of the "Distric, OF Guiiford." The
trouble of the succeeding years between the
two parties there Is familiar history. The don-
