Established military historian, Edward Pierce Hamilton, expands his research on the history of Milton to review the controversy. Despite considerable effort over two years, he admits "very little, if any new evidence has been produced, so carefully was the field covered in 1924, but certain important facts which apparently were entirely missed at that time have come to light. The writer is now entirely convinced as to the authenticity of the house."

Specifically, he reinterprets Teele's short account and concludes that the parlor and front hall of the modern Suffolk Resolves House comprise the original house of Daniel and Rachel Vose. His dismisses the question of the size of the house by noting that in good weather New England town meetings were often held outside.

Further, Hamilton shows that there is no documentary evidence for the conclusions against authenticity presented by Ellen Vose and Eleanor Martin in 1912: "Having just informed ourselves a few months ago of all the known and available facts regarding the signing, we probably would have been surprised and quite a bit amused at the temerity of these good ladies in contradicting what was an accepted tradition with such entire absence of evidence."

He suggests that the controversy erupted due to Yankee "cussedness" -- particularly over matters of real estate -- and stems largely from such a dispute between Nathaniel M. Safford and Eleanor Martin's father, Henry.
