Col. Silas P. Richmond, who at that time was chairman of the Board of Selectmen of Freetown, devised the present town seal. The idea was taken from the "consideration" named in the deal of Freeman's Purchase (the tract of land which is now Assonet) from the Indians, a part of which was "one little kettle". The device was accepted by the town as its official seal and was first used in 1893."
