The paper presented at the October meeting of the Milton Historical Society (founded 1904) is "Daniel Vose and his Inn," by founding members Ellen F. Vose and Eleanor Pope Martin.

They assert: "There is no evidence that Daniel Vose ever owned the building. It is an established fact that the Suffolk Resolves were passed at the house of Daniel Vose; yet this house [the modern Suffolk Resolves House], built subsequent to 1781, and belonging to Daniel Thomas Vose, has for forty years been accepted as the meeting-place of the Suffolk County Convention. When the present building was first hailed as an historic spot, there were men living who must have known the facts. Indeed, at the first, protests were raised and denials made, but for reasons inscrutable, the voices subsided, with the exception of an occasional disquieting murmur."

Eleanor Martin, the recording secretary at the historical society meeting, did not note the reaction of the audience to the paper.
