  • Notes 
    • On July 1774 John and Anna Bickmore, and Elizabeth Bickmore, widow of George Bickmore, were among the 57 inhabitants of Meduncook who agreed not to import any goods from Great Britain until port of Boston, Massachusetts was opened.

      "Early Bickmore History" Document: Includes a copy of a petition signed by John, his wife Anna, and his mother Elizabeth. The petition follows:
      "This being a day pitched upon by the general court of Boston, under the advice of the Governor for a day of fasting and prayer through out the Province, on account of our dangerous situation with regard to our liberties_ _ We, of the inhabitants of Meduncook, met, at the minister's house and after our religious service, the following covenant, composed at Boston and sent to us was signed as follows:
      " We the people of Meduncook, having taken into consideration the precarious state of liberties of New England and more especially, the present disturbed condition of this Province, do, in the presence of God, solemnly and in good faith, covenant and engage with each other: that:- - From henceforth we will suspend all commercial intercourse with the said Island of Great Britain until the said act for blocking up said harbor be repealed- -We will not buy purchase or consume or suffer anyone else to do so, any goods, wares, or merchandise
      that shall arrive from Great Britain from and after the last day of August, 1774. We agree to break off all commerce etc. with all persons who continue to import goods from Great Britain or shall purchase from those who do import. We, further, agree to purchase no article from those who have not signed this covenant."
      " I __________ of ___________ in the company of ___________ do, solemnly swear that the goods on hand have not been imported from Great Britain since Aug. 1774, and will not import or purchase, of any persons importing any goods, as aforesaid, until the harbor of Boston shall be opened & we are fully restored to the free use of our constitutional rights & charter & lastly, we agree, that after this or a similiar covenant has been offered to any person, &, they refuse to sign it or produce the oath, above said we will consider them as contumacious (sic) importers and withdraw all commercial relations with them, so far as not to purchase of them any articles, whatsoever, and publish their names to the world."

      Signed_ _ July 14, 1774
      "Witness our hand"
      John Bickmore and wife Anna
      Elizabeth Bickmore
      These names were included in the list of some of the people who constituted the town of Meduncook, Maine.(Friendship).

      Another reference for covenant signed by John, Anna and Elizabeth Bickmore is "Records of Meduncook Plantation and Friendship, Maine 1762-1899" by Melville Bradford Cook, p. 10-11. Words are slightly different than above.
