 | | As noted in the Vermont Gazette, "on Monday, April 30, 1787, about one hundred of the rebels from Massachusetts, who fled from justice, met at Captain Galusha's Inn in Shaftsbury, in convention. |
 | | The sheriff of the county, Jonas Galusha, who had been previously notified, was present for the purpose of dispersing the insurgents in case they refused to withdraw. |
 | | The rebels plead for leave to be by themselves for a few minutes which was granted, after which they dispersed, and proceeded immediately to white Creek, in the State of New York, where there was a considerable body collected, who sat in convention from day to day without opposition." |
