Description: This tune was first published on p. 17 of the first edition of Oliver Brownson's Select Harmony, 1783, with the title 'Kettery'. However, it must have been written and popularized some years before, because New Kittery (Anonymous), for which it was named, appeared in The Waterhouse Manuscript, copied in 1781 (Crawford and McKay 1974). This makes Brownson's "Kettery" a misspelling, perhaps deliberate. The tune Kittery was republished under the heading 'Kittery. Words from Dr. Watts.' on pp. 12-14 of William Billings' collection The Suffolk Harmony, Boston: 1786. Despite Billings' attribution of the text to Isaac Watts, it originates from A Supplement to the New Version of Psalms, a collection of hymn texts and tunes intended for use with the 'New Version' metrical psalms of Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady, first published in 1700. Hymn Tune Index tune number 4403. The 1790 manuscript copy closely resembles the version in Brownson.
