"Your memorialists therefore, with all due respect, pray your honourable body that, in consideration of the premises, you will be pleased to pass a law, exempting the people called Shakers, residing within the state of New-York, from military duty, and from the payment of any sum or sums of money in lieu thereof." The petition is signed by Richard Spier, Morrell Baker, Peter Dodge, Calvin Green, and Seth Y. Wells, as trustees of the Shakers. A supporting petition, signed by 125 men who were inhabitants of Canaan, Watervliet, and other places in New York, and who were well acquainted with the Shakers, is appended to the Shakers' petition.
