Had a similar situation - unfortunately, previous owners' info wasn't reliable and consistent with each other.

OP, one thing you could check if you haven't already is RI GIS satellite imagery. My neighbor's fence was over the boundary line on my side by about 20ft. I was able to prove it was placed there erroneously less than 20 years ago by comparing satellite photos. My neighbor didn't take the dispute any further after that.

You can toggle images from different years. Maybe the trees weren't planted as long ago as claimed?

Tacking onto this; I’m a professional in the GIS industry and would be more than happy to track down the appropriate imagery and look at it if you wanted OP. Just DM me.

I wish I could see the pics of my property from 1939 or even the 1950's. I tried everything. I only get a current pic. When I changed to the right years & removed check from current, I don't get a real pic, just an outline of the house. Any idea how I can get it??
