The Convention adjourned April 22nd, and the day following New York learned of the battle of Lexington. The people of this province

were then thoroughly aroused. The "Committee of Sixty" was in- creased to a "Committee of One Hundred," and April 29, 1775, "the freeman, freeholders and inhabitants of the city and county of New York," met and formulated "Articles of Association" sometimes called the "Revolutionary Pledge." A call was issued for a new Provincial Convention or Congress and in volume I of the Calendar of Revolution- ary Papers in the Secretary of State's Office appears the following, relative to Dutchess County :
"At a county meeting in consequence of notifications for that pur- pose on the 16th of May, Dirck Brinckerhoff, Anthony Hoffman, Zep- haniah Platt, Richard Montgomery, Ephraim Paine, Gilbert Living- ston and Jonathan Landon Esqurs., and Messrs. Gysbert Schenck, Melancthon Smith and Nathaniel Sackett were by a majority of voices Elected Deputies for the term of Six months to represent the county of Dutchess in the Provincial convention to be held at the city of New York on the 22nd instant."
One of the first acts of the Provincial Congress, to which the above delegates were elected, was the endorsement of the "Articles of Asso- ciation" and copies of the documents were placed in the hands of com- mittees to circulate through the counties for signatures. The pri- mary purpose of this "Pledge" was to bring the people up to the point of associated effort, and had no direct reference to an appeal to arms and separation from the English government. The "Pledge" itself reads : .
"Persuaded that the salvation of the rights and liberties of America depend, under God, on the firm union of its inhabitants in a vigorous prosecution of the measures necessary for its safety, and convinced of the necessity of preventing anarchy and confusion which attend a dis- solution of the powers of government. We, the Freeman, Freeholders, and Inhabitants of Dutchess, being greatly alarmed at the avowed de- sign of the Ministry to raise a revenue in America, and shocked by the bloody scene now acting in Massachusetts Bay, do in the most solemn manner resolve never to become slaves, and do associate, under all the ties of religion, honor, and love to our country, to adopt and endeavor to carry into execution whatsoever measures may be recommended by the Continental Congress, or resolved upon by our Provincial Con- vention, for the purpose of preserving our constitution and of opposing the several arbitrary acts of the British Parliament, until a reconcilia-

tion beween Great Britain and America, on constitutional principles (which we most ardently desire) can be obtained, and that we will in all things follow the advice of our General Committee respecting the pur- poses aforesaid, the preservation of peace and good order and the safety of individuals and property."
In Dutchess County there were 1820 signers, and 964 persons who refused to sign. Some qualified their signatures by certain restric- tions. Lists were recorded of those who signed and of those who re- fused to sign, and are preserved in the American Archives. They show a radical difference in the views even of members of the same family, and in some of the Precincts, almost an equal division in numbers. For convenient reference the lists of signers and non-signers are now intro- duced, arranged alphabetically :
