John Cary, "Dartmouth court order"

Date

1707 April 11
Part of: Bristol County, Massachusetts Court Records
Rare Books & Special Collections, Hesburgh Libraries

A document written and signed by John Cary, clerk of the writs, and issued by the Bristol County Court of General Sessions, directing the selectmen of Dartmouth to call a town meeting to elect a new constable. The town's first choice, Thomas Briggs, had been judged unsuitable "for that he was Aged and Could neither writ nor Read." An endorsement on the reverse indicates the choice of Thomas Briggs, Jr. as constable.
