Partridge, Mr. Joseph Hawley, Mr. Hitchcock, and Mr. Medad Pomroy, be and are hereby appointed and empowered to that service. William Phipps. A true copy examined by * Joseph Willard, Secretary. S '* Though the inhabitants were incorporated and the town nam- ed by the court as early as the year 1673, yet they were not allow- ed the powers and authorities of a town till the year 1718: But the court appointed and continued a committee consisting of gentle- men belonging to other places, to direct..., regulate and ratify all affairs relative to settling and building up the town; so that without said committee the inhabitants could not take up for themselves, or grant to others, any lands. And it was by the direction and assistance of said committee, that monies were granted, a meeting-house built, a minister chosen, &c. — To en- courage the settling of the town, especially in the time of the Indian wars, lands were granted to divers persons upon condi- tion they would possess and improve fbem for a certain number of years.
