Gregory Stone became something of a historical figure in 1664 when he was one of four men from Cambridge who presented to the General Court or legislature of the MA Bay Colony a memorial signed by more than one hundred Cambridge freemen protesting against the then proposed change of the government of New England which would put it under the rule of a royal commission in which its citizens were not to be represented and contrary to the terms and intent of the original patent for the colony. This seems to have been about the first formal muttering of the spirit which more than a century later was boldly set forth in the Declaration of Independence
