I don't know where your line intersects mine, but I have the following information:

All the passengers settled at Mattapan which was
renamed Dorchester.

first settler.
Maybe later to Simsbury.

I have all of the line from this point on, so I am sure that your line left
this one sometime in the above.

Please let me know if I can do anything else.
I would also be interested to know if this gave
you the information that you were looking for.
