MS-B.774.109
8 Dec 1774:32 (4/201)
We hear from Cohasset (the only free port in the country of
Suffolk) that on the 17th instant, the militia company in
that place, appeared in the field, lodged their arms, and
marched to the meeting-house. The officers then voluntarily
resigned their commissions, a moderator and clerk were
chosen; after which the Rev. Mr. Browne by desire of the
moderator, made a prayer and delivered an animated speech on
the exigencies of the times. They then sang the former part
of the 44th psalm, and proceeded to the choice of officers,
when the three worthy gentlemen, who had lately borne
commissions, were unanimously chosen to be their leaders. .
