    • Guilford was the scene of many conflicts between the Yorkers and Green Mountain Boys. Each party alternately held control and committed depredations upon the property of the opposing faction. This state of things lasted until Vermont was finally admitted to the the union as a state. In 1788 a grant of land was made by New York to those inhabitants of the grants who had suffered from the attempt to uphold New York authority. Among these was Adonijah Putnam, who received 212 acres in Clinton, now Bainbridge, Chenango Co., New York.
