The Indenture 1680 records the sale of Mount Hope Neck and Poppasquash Neck to Boston buyers by Winslow Hinckley and Bradford acting for New Plymouth. The General Court confirmed the deed and the purchasers paid 1100 pounds. In 1681 Bristol was named, and townsmen set fines, built stocks and a pound, and set school funding plans. Meetings through 1684 set selectmen, licenses, constable duties, rates, and bell ringing payments.
