Notes

Note

He was a clothier, following the business of his father, and he established a fulling mill on Stony brook about 1730, and he also succeeded to the homestead in Harwich and was sole executor of his father's will. His prominence in the affairs of the town made him one of the thirteen justices who signed the following declaration against the acts of parliament almost two years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence : "Whereas there has been of late several acts of the British Parliament passed tending to introduce an unjust and partial administration of justice ; to change our free constitution into a state of slavery and oppression, and to introduce Popery in some parts of British America &c. : Therefore we the subscribers do engage and declare that we will not accept of any commission in consequence of, or in conformity to, said acts of Parliament, nor upon any unconstitutional regulations ; and that if either of us is required to do any business to our officers in conformity to said acts or any way contrary to the charter of this province, we will refuse it although we may thereby lose our commissions. As witness our hands at Barnstable. September 27, 1774. (Signed) James Otis, Thomas Smith, Joseph Otis, Nymphas Marston. Shearjashub Bowne, David Thatcher, Daniel Davis, Melatiah. Bowne, Edward Bacon, Isaac Hinckley, Solo Otis, Kenelon Winslow, Richard Bowne."
