Signers and Objectors against the Association in Suffolk County

v3:617

Brookhaven, August 17, 1775.

These few lines are to inform you, that at a meeting of a considerable number of the inhabitants of the Town of Brookhaven, on the 14th of this instant, after a mature consideration of the bad consequences of their remaining in opposition to the measures pursued by the Continental Congress, they did unanimously agree to sign the General Association, and accordingly they did sign the same, whose names we have here sent you, annexed to the Association ; and also a list of the names of those who refused to sign the Association this time, whose names were not returned in the lists of associates and non-associates before.
