Although once a colony in of itself, Maine was part of Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War. Vermont thought of itself as an independent republic and revolted independently against Great Britain. Both New York and New Hampshire had claims on Vermont. After the revolution, Vermont was threatening to join Canada. President Washington threatened to invade it and New York feared that other counties in the area would become part of Vermont. Then it was admitted as the 14th state.

HMMMM - - - well Maine is Obvious but Vermont not so obvious, it was in fact considered to be part of New York until settlers from New Hampshire muscled their way. See article below.
Though not a 'New England' State, the State of Ohio can be said to have been a part of Connecticut an issue that was resolved through delicate negociations during the first couple of sessions of America's new Congress - - - So you have a half answer and a kinda - - - personally I would only count Maine - - - Vermont people really are an independent bunch and not at all like the rest of New Englanders, though in truth each of the New England States manages to be unique.

"Originally inhabited by Native American tribes (Iroquois, Algonquian and Abenaki), the territory that is now Vermont was claimed by France but became a British possession after France's defeat in the French and Indian War. For many years, rightful control of the area was disputed by the surrounding colonies. Settlers who held land titles granted by the Province of New Hampshire, through their Green Mountain Boys militia, eventually prevailed. Vermont became the 14th state to join the United States, following a 14-year period during and after the Revolutionary War as the independent Republic of Vermont."

"The United States created the Northwest Territory under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Slavery was not permitted. Settlement began with the founding of Marietta by the Ohio Company of Associates, which had been formed by a group of American Revolutionary War veterans. Following the Ohio Company, the Miami Company (also referred to as the "Symmes Purchase") claimed the southwestern section and the Connecticut Land Company surveyed and settled the Connecticut Western Reserve in present-day Northeast Ohio. The old Northwest Territory originally included areas that had previously been known as Ohio Country and Illinois Country. As Ohio prepared for statehood, Indiana Territory was created, reducing the Northwest Territory to approximately the size of present-day Ohio plus the eastern half of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula.
