Persons that "improve the respective that are provided by the general court shall pay them their wages, and all the others are hereby exempted." Christopher Faunce was presented for a "grammar schoolmaster" and accepted.
Dec. 16, 1746. Town petitioned "the Great and General Court" that a "New County may be taken off or made on this side of Assonet River."
(That part of the warrant for the meeting Dec. 16, 1746, that has reference to the county matter is as follows.) To consult and vote something with respect to petitioning the General Court qt we may have a County Taken off or Made on this side Assonet River, otherwise we must unavoidably be obliged to go and our children after us for what we know to Taunton which will be upwards of thirty-five miles distant for many of said Inhabitants, which will be in the
extreme tedious and expensive, it being too far to set out from our Homes to get there before the Court setts, as likewise the of the County agra- vates the case by reason that one case must wait for another and is at times the occasion of adjourn- ments.
In the whole it will be tedious and expensive to Plat, defend Jurymen and Evidences. But more es- pecially to poor widows who are oft times obliged to go several times before an estate can be settled with the judge of probate.

CHAPTER XVII.
DARTMOUTH .- ( Continued.)
WAR OF THE REVOLUTION.1
First Action of the Town-The Town-Meeting of 1774-The Resolves- Patriotic Women-They Resolve to Discontinue the Use of Tea-Inter- esting Incident-Revolutionary Soldiers-Extracts from Town Rec- ords.
DARTMOUTH was in no respect behind her sister towns of Massachusetts in devotion and sacrifice to the cause of liberty. She contributed freely in men and money, and although we find in the military an- nals of the period no names of distinction belonging to the town, yet we know that her people were thor- oughly in sympathy with the Revolution. On the nineteenth day of September, 1768, Walter Spooner was appointed by the town to represent it in Faneuil Hall, Boston, to consider what wise and prudent measures should be adopted to prevent the distress and misery which were likely to come upon them by reason of the number of regular troops to be quar- tered in Massachusetts. In 1774 a town-meeting was called " to take into the most mature and serious con- sideration the melancholy and distressing situation of public affairs of this province, and to adopt and pur- sue all those rational and justifiable methods which, by the blessings of heaven attending our endeavors, will have the greatest tendency to remove from us and our fellow-sufferers those troubles we feel and fear under the present frowns of the British admin- istration."
The town-meeting was held July 18, 1774. Hon. Walter Spooner, Benjamin Akin, Esq., William Davis, William Tallman, Maj. Ebenezer Willis, Jireh Willis, Seth Pope, Seth Hathaway, and Hannaniah Cornish were appointed a committee to prepare and draw up what they should deem most proper as expressing the sense of the meeting, and report in the afternoon for the town's consideration. The report of these gentle- men was accepted. It was voted, "That we are grieved at being necessitated to act a part which at first view appears unfriendly with respect to our manufacturing brethren and friends in Great Britain
and Ireland ; but we trust we shall readily be excused by them when they consider that this part of our conduct is wholly designed, and in our judgment will have the greatest tendency of anything in our power, to save both them and us from bondage and slavery, for upon mature consideration we judge the several late unconstitutional acts of the British Parliament have a direct tendency to destroy the harmony which has subsisted among all the British subjects, and to entirely abolish the English Constitution and form of government; and therefore, as the most probable means to prevent those destructive purposes, we unite with our American brethren, and
" Resolve, That we will not purchase any goods manufactured in Great Britain and Ireland which shall be imported from thence after this day ; that we will not purchase any English goods of any hawker or peddler; that we will not purchase any foreign teas whatever; that we will not export any flax-seed to any foreign market; that we do acquiesce in the na- ture and necessity of raising our proportion of money to pay the Congress and to raise the same by sub- scription, and that these resolves do remain in force so long as the present grievous acts of the British Parliament remain unrepealed."
At this meeting a committee of correspondence was chosen to act with other committees in America. And also a resolve was passed advancing " the town's proportion of the money to pay the committee of Congress."
In the county congress, held at Taunton, the same year, " to devise and act on such measures as the exi- gencies of the times require," the town was ably and patriotically represented.
Not the men alone, but the women of Dartmouth fully entered into the resolutions of non-intercourse with Great Britain. They had their League Society, which was more exacting in the observance of its principles than the Ladies' League Associations of the present day. In January, 1774, fifty-seven ladies of Bedford village had a meeting at which they en- tered into an agreement not to use any more India tea; and having heard that a gentleman there had lately bought some, they requested he would imme- diately return it. This request he complied with, whereupon the ladies treated him with a glass of "this country wine" and dismissed him, highly pleased with his exemplary conduct. A number of gentle- men present gave him three cheers in approbation of lis noble behavior.
This occurred six months prior to the action of the town-meeting, and doubtless contributed much in forming the public sentiment of the town.
Revolutionary Soldiers .- The following list of soldiers, etc., is taken from Daniel Ricketson's excel- lent " History of New Bedford," published in 1858. These lists were furnished Mr. Ricketson by Thomas Kempton.
The following is "a muster-roll of the company

under the command of Capt. Thomas Kempton, in Col. Danielson's regiment, to the 1st of August, 1775 :"
Thomas Kempton, captain ; Amasa Soper, first lieu- tenant; Jolin Chadwick, second lieutenant; John Swift, George Brownell, Thomas West, John Sullings, sergeants ; James Spooner, Robert Crosman, Elijah Allen, Paul Weston, corporals ; Obed Cushman, fifer ; Simeon Fuller, drummer ; Benjamin Adams, Eleazer Allen, Joshna Austin, David Babcock, Noah Ball, Jabez Bennet, Thomas Bennet, Jonathan Bradshaw, Prince Brownell, Gamaliel Bryant, Jessey Burt, John Coggeshall, William Counts, Robert Crosman, Jr., Louis De Moranville, Thomas Eskridge, John Gam- mons, Phineas Hammond, Roger Hammond, George Haskins, David Hathaway, John Hathaway, Lemuel Hathaway, David Kentch, Silas Kirby, Robert Knowlton, David Lewis, Humphrey Macomber, Pre- served Merrihew, Jonathan Mosher, Jacob Mott, Isaac Noble, John Ormsby, Silas Perry, Peter Phil- lips, Peter Sands, Daniel Sherman, John Sherman, Lemuel Sherman, John Solomon (Indian), John Spooner, Giles Tallman, Joseph Trafford, Lettice Washburn, Nathan Waste, privates; amounting to fifty-eight, all from Dartmouth, with the exception of three,-Louis De Moranville, Freetown ; Phineas Hammond, Rochester; and David Lewis, Rhode Is- land. The time of enlistment was in the month of May, 1775. The time of service, with a few excep- tions, was three months ; the shortest, one month and twelve days. Their headquarters was Roxbury ; the allowanee, one penny per mile for travel ; greatest distance of travel, sixty-nine miles ; least, fifty-seven. The amount the captain received for this campaign was £18 108. 13d .; the first lieutenant, £12 16s. 4d .; the second lieutenant, £10 18s. 9d .; the four sergeants, £1 15%. 7d., £5 9s., £5, 15s. 7d., £5 2s. 13d .; the four corporals, £4 12. 2d., £2 188. 8d., £5 38., £3 1s .; the fifer, £4 10s. 10d .; the drummer, £5 3s. These were the amounts paid after deducting what had been charged for supplies. The difference in the amounts paid to the officers, as well as the privates, was mainly owing to the greater or less supplied them. This old muster-roll contains twenty-three columns under the following heads, viz .: "Men's names," "Towns whence they came," " Rank," "Time of enlistment," " Travell," "Amount at 1d. a mile," "Time of ser- viee," " Whole amount," "Guns," "By whom sup- plyed," "Price," " Bayonets," "Of whom received," " Price," "Cartridge-boxes," "Of whom received," " Price," " Cloathing," "Of whom received," "Amount," " Advance Wages," " Blankets received more than entitled to by enlistment," " Amount of deduction," " Balance." The amount paid for travel, £14 5s. 10d. The whole amount allowed each private before discount ranged from a little more than $4 to £6 10s. The number of guns supplied was twenty- six,-amount for same, £41 108. ; four bayonets, with sheaths and belts, supplied by Jireh Swift, amounting to 88. 2d .; thirty cartridge-boxes, supplied by Jireh
Swift, amounting to £6 78. 6d. ; twenty-seven pairs of shoes and one cap, supplied by Jireh Swift and Com- missary Blaney, the shoes at 6s. and the cap 2s., amounting to £8 4s .; the amount paid for advance wages £2 each, excepting the captain and two lieu- tenants,-£108 : the whole expense amounting to £389 118. 93d. ; the balance, £227 2s. 13d.
Capt. Kempton was a descendant from Manasseh Kempton, one of the early proprietors of Dartmouth, and the father of Thomas Kempton. Previously to this period (1775) Capt. Kempton had been master of a whaling-vessel from this port, and a large portion of those who enlisted in his company had been his sailors. Capt. Kempton had previously received a commission as ensign of the militia from Governor Hutchinson, bearing date May 13, 1773. Subsequent to his command of the Dartmouth company at Rox- bury, he received the commission of lieutenant-colo- nel, but owing to a failure of health he left service at the evacuation of Boston by the British troops. He was born April 20, 1740, and died Jan. 27, 1806, in his sixty-sixth year. Of the two other companies from Dartmouth that joined the Revolutionary army, one was commanded by Capt. Egery, of Fairhaven, and the other by Capt. Benjamin Dillingham, of Acushnet :
