Those whose names are published doe promise and Ingage and saludt to be true and faithful to the Commonwealth of England as it is now established without King or house of Lordes. These signatures were first transcribed independently, to the best of the ability of this researcher. Some names were then confirmed from a listing in Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers as having owned land, or named as a headright by landowners of Northumberland County at that time. Some names have been confirmed with the listing in Fleet, Northumbria Collectanea, 1645-1720 . Several of the names of persons who signed were not found in Fleet's listing.
Some names remain indecipherable, or perhaps misread.
