Malden,Mass 1633-1785, by Corey,1899 page 146: -- Petition for Rev.Marmaduke Matthews who apparently had put several lines into his sermons that the town fathers did not appreciate. Those "several lines" have disappeared so we will never know what they were but what is important in this posting is the fact that the WIVES OF THE MEN signed the petition and it is known as "the petition of the Malden women" dated 28(8)1651.
