The Covenant of Dedham, MA 1636

A covenant has a biblical meaning it is different than a contract. This Covenant was first signed 15 Aug 1636. 125 men signed over a period of years. I have found 4 signers who were our direct grandfathers.

[There follows 125 signatures of those subscribing to the Covenant, evidently over a period of some years. While all the Morse Signers and Jonathan Fairbanks, Sr. appear to have been among the original signers, the sons of the latter were ages 18, 16 and about 7 years in 1636. The names of the Fairbanks sons appear at intervals from oldest to youngest among the last signers of The Covenant. The signers related to us, in numerical sequence shown, included:

(3) Samuel Morse, and his sons (34) John, (28) Daniel and (29) Joseph /

(31) Jonathan Fairbanks (Fayerbanke), and his sons (98) John, (102) George Fayerbanke and (110) Jonathan Jr. /

(116) John Mason]

Of interest to my Dalton cousins are two possible relatives they include: (4) Philemon Dalton (13) Timothie Dalton
