We do this day, in the strength of Christ, humbly and heartily avonch the Lord, whose name alone is Jehovah, Father, Son and Spirit, to be our God and the God of our seed, entirely and everlastingly dedicating both ourselves and ours unto his holy fear and service according to his word; promising and covenanting to walk with God, and love one another as God's chosen people and a particular church of Christ ought to do; complying with ye whole will of God so far as he hath been pleased, or shall further please, to discover his mind to us by his Spirit, word and providence; acknowledging, embracing and submitting unto the Lord Jesus, God-man, as head of the church, prophet, priest and king of our souls, ye only mediator between God and man and surety of ye new covenant, that he may of God be made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, looking for acceptation only in Christ both of our persons and services.

  6. Perhaps included this property: A Joseph Jennings, Sr. was listed in a 1731 division of land lots for Brimfield in Hampden, Massachusetts. Joseph's son Robert was a resident of Brimfield from 1755 to 1770.
  7. He may have lived his later years in Scotland, Connecticut with his son Capt. Joseph.
    Scotland was originally part of Windham, so it's possible he didn't move but the town lines did.
