Jones states, "The MHS. copy is dated Octob. 11, 1675 but the General Court of that year did not meet until Oct. 13, and reference to the official records shows this order was adopted at the October session 1676. A copy, correctly dated, was sold at the Samuel G. Drake sale at Bangs & Merwin, Sept. 29, 1876. Lot 288."
