Hi John, This still sounds like something called the "Association". My 4xg grandfather, John Lloyd, lived in Amenia and signed it, and so did a lot of others. If you can find Newton Reed's "Early History of Amenia, NY", you might get your answer there. I am still interested in any responses you get, in case this is a different document from what I believe.
