    Link to Google MapsLegal - We, James Ordway, John Woolcot, Peter Godfrey and Joshua Woodman, do acknowledge that we are justly to be blamed to come into the seats of other men contrary to the order of the selectmen and here by the presents we do engage ourselves that we will keep to our own seats and not disturb any man in their seats any more. The cause of their offence was an apprehension that the selectmen had, without sufficient authority from the town, built some new seats in the gallery and assigned them to some individuals. They therefore took possession of these seats, to which the selectmen had not given them any right. Hence there was a contention in the meeting-house, a summons for them to appear at court, and a settlement by their promise to behave better in time to come. - 6 Jun 1662 - Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts Link to Google Earth
