A New Society….. Adamville, April 21
A goodly number of inhabitants of Tiverton and Little Compton adopted a declaration of sentiments and constitution. Our Society is named the Tiverton and Little Compton Anti-Slavery Society.
Thirty one, male and female subscribed to the Constitution at the time and three have since added their names.
We organized by choosing Rev. Junia S. Mowry, President;
Rev. James Smither, Vice President
J. Sexton, Recording and Corresponding Secretary
John Dyer, Jr., Treasurer.
