This document came to be known as the Association Test and each town was to create this document and have it sent to the Committee of Safety. Thus, one hundred and ninety-nine persons in Barrington (N.H.) signed this agreement, and twelve others refused to sign. This placed every man as a friend or an enemy to his country, and informed the committee of Safety what individuals to watch or disarm.
