    Corporation Papers. This abridgment appears to have been prepared in connection with the Committee’s report to the General Court in May 1654. See Morison, Seventeenth Century, ii. 570. Samuel Eaton (A.B. 1649), the eldest son of Governor Theophilus Eaton, of the New Haven Colony, was one of the five original Fellows named in the Charter of 1650. See Sibley, Sketches, i. 171–172.
