 === Proprietors' Records  ===
-In the colonial period, the general assembly granted land to groups of colonists who became the proprietors of the town. These proprietors divided the land into portions owned by individuals and portions owned in common. The proprietors, in turn, sold land to other individuals. The proprietors' records begin as early as 1659 for the Narragansett area (southern Rhode Island). Transcripts of some of the records, 1659 to 1686, are in James N. Arnold, ''The Records of the Proprietors of the Narragansett (Providence, Rhode Island):'' Narragansett Historical Publishing, 1894 ({{FHL|14035|item}} film 1033805 item 2).
