That wheras Samuell Eeddy and Elizabethhis wife of the Town of Plymouth haveing many children and by Reason of manywants lying upon them soe as they are not able to bring them u as they Doe Desire and out of the good Respect they have to mr John Browne of Rehoboth they Did Desire that hee the said mr Browne wuold take Caleb theire sonne being of the age of nine yeares and bring him up in his Imployment of husbandry or any other busines hee shall see meet fr the good of their child till he come to the age of one and twenty yeares; wheruon Mr Browne did in the prsence of Mr Bradford Govnr and other of the maiestrates take into his service the said Caleb; and promiseth to provid for and allow him Dureing the said tearme all nessessaries Requisite for such a servant according to the condition and stae of the countrey; And Doth further of his owne will provide; that if incase he the said Mr Browne and his wife shall Depart this life before the said Caleb shall ataine the end of his time of service; that then his sonne that shall have the goverment of him Dureing the Resedue of the said time not attained unto; shall make sale of the said Resedue of time not attained unto nor any pte therof to any pson or psns whatsoever wherby hee shall or may bee wronged; And if it shall soe come to pase that those to whomsoever hee shalbee comitted unto after the Death of the said Mr. John Browne and his wife shall notDeale well with him as such a servant ought to be Dealt with; then upon the complaint of any of the frinds of the said Caleb; It shalbee Lawfull for the Deacons of the Church of Plymouth aforsaid with the Governor that then shalbee to take him wholy away and place him with whom they shall see meete provided that noe sale or merchandice bee made of the Remainder of his time by any;65795
In 1667 Hugh Cole, Constant Southworth, Josias Winslow, and others, all of Plymouth, purchased of King Philip all the marsh and meadow land of Mattapoysett. At this time Rev. John Myles, who had been a pastor in Wales and had been driven from his parish by the new laws of the Englis king (Act of Uniformity issued by Charles II), was in Plymouth, but his preaching did not please the church members there and Myles and his few Baptist Dissenters were sent to Rehoboth. Complaints soon drove him from there, and he was advised by the court of Plymouth to go farther south beyond the borders of Rehoboth. The Court then decided to grant to him and those of like mind the new tract recently purchased from the Indians. On Feb. 22, 1669 fifty-five men signed the articles of agreement which made this section into the new town of Swansea. Two of the signers were Zachariah Eddy and his brother Caleb. Thus Zachariah and Caleb became two of the first purchasers of Swansea and at the same time became members of the First Baptist Church in Swansea. Zachariah took an active part in the Church life. In the old Church Book, now in the vaults of the B. M. C. Durfee Trust Co. of Fall River, there is a copy of a letter sent to a church in Boston, asking that the brethren in Boston help the Swansea Church in the selection of a pastor. Both Zachariah and Caleb Eddy signed this letter.82088
