The earliest settlements in the territory upon which this Church is planted, were made about the year 1690. The principal man among the pioneers, was Maj. James Fitch, eldest son of the Rev. James Fitch of Norwich, a large land-holder in the county, and one of the foremost men of his time in the colony. With him there came from Nor- wich, individuals belonging to the Adams, Backus, Brad- ford and Tracy families. But the larger part of the plan- ters on the borders of the Quinebaug and near the river- island of Peagscomsuck were from the older towns of Massachusetts and Plymouth colonies. Thus there came Adamses from Medfield, Browns, Cleavelands and Spaul- dings from Chelmsford, Ilydes and Woodwards from Newton, Frosts from Charlestown, Davenports from Dor- chester, Baldwins from Woburn and Paynes from East- ham. These settlers, being of true Puritan blood, partic -. ipated in the endeavors of the town of Plainfield for the settlement of the gospel ministry, and for a time claimed that the services of their first minister, Rev. Joseph Coit, should be equally divided between the two sides of the Quinebaug. But before Mr. Coit's ordination in 1705,- the planters on the West side felt strong enough to set up for themselves. In October, 1703, ( just a century and a half ago,) they were incorporated as the Town of Canter. bury, with a territory including portions of the present towns of Brooklyn and Hampton. In 1705 Robert Green for thirty shillings deeded to the inhabitants of the town,

three acres and a half on a hill near his house, " to build and erect a meeting-house on, or for training, or any other use the said inhabitants of Canterbury shall see cause for." This is the plot of ground long known as " Canterbury Green," which has been from the beginning until this day the site of the meeting-house of the First Ecclesiastical Society. No record remains to show when the first place of worship was erected, but in 1719, the Selectmen were ordered to " get the meeting-house glazed at the Town's charge." .
" The Church was constituted on the 13th day of June, 1711, by a council of the Elders and Messengers of the neighboring churches." The Elders present were Rev. Mr. Samuel Whiting of Windham, Rev. Mr. John Wood. ward of Norwich, Rev. Mr. Salmon Treat of Preston and Rev. Mr. Joseph Coit of Plainfield. " The names of those who first constituted the Church of Canterbury," are Sam- uel Estabrook, Eleazar Brown, Elisha Payne, Samuel Cleaveland, John Woodward, Richard Woodward and Stephen Frost. On the same day, Samuel Estabrook, who had been for some time preaching to the people " was or- dained minister of the Gospel and Pastor of the church of Canterbury. The Rev. Mr. Samuel Whiting gave the Charge ; the Rev. Mr. Salmon Treat gave the Right Hand of Fellowship ; the Ordination Sermon was upon that text in 2d Corinthians, 6 : 1,-" We then, as workers together with him, &c." "
. A confession of faith was adopted, containing fourteen articles and a covenant with seven specifications,-evan- gelical in spirit and highly orthodox in phraseology. Of the walk of the Church and the administration of its af- fairs during the ministry of its first pastor little can be gathered. The ordinances were administered in the man- ner recommended by the Synod of 1657, allowing the bap -. tism of their children to those who "understand the

grounds of religion, and are not scandalous, and solemnly own the covenant in their own persons." This was pop- ularly called the half way covenant, because these persons were not expected to come to the Lord's supper.
On the 5th of June, 1723, this Church assisted by its Elder and Messenger at the formation of a church at Windham Village, (now Hampton,) thus narrowing its own proper field.
, After the death of Mr. Estabrook, and some ineffectual attempts to settle Mr. Samuel Jenison, the people (Jan. 1729) invited Mr. John Wadsworth, who accepted a sala- ry of 110 pounds per ann. with 150 pounds settlement. The sermon at his ordination was by Rev. Mr. Fiske of Killingly, from Romans, 10: 15.
In the course of 1731-35 the second meeting house on the Green was erected, the expense being partly defrayed by the sale of some Town lands But on the 21st Nov. 1734, another church was formed on the Northern borders of the town, (now the church in Brooklyn) to which this church contributed some of its original members. No other event of interest appears in the history of Mr. Wads- worth's ministry here, if we omit those which led to its close, of which no particular account is possible or desira- ble.
But about this time (1741) the people of this town be- gan to be affected by that "Great Awakening," which roused so many in New England, and in Old England also, from their ease in Zion. Little can now be recovered of the particular history of this movement in Canterbury ; it is believed, however, that one of the preachers here was the Rev. Samuel Buel, afterwards for many years Pastor in' Easthampton, L. I. It appears that the people were not affected alike by the movement ; some were attracted and others repelled. Of the first class some became so widely known as exhorters, that they were marked and publicly

reproved as disturbers of the churches. But the people did not all follow in this way. In June 1744, they receiv- ed Mr. Cogswell as a candidate, upon the recommendation of the Association, and were preparing to settle him as their pastor, when a schism took place among them. The zealous partizans of the revival were so much dissatisfied with the candidate selected, that they withdrew from wor- ship in the meeting-house, and attended services conduct- ed by their leaders in a private dwelling. It was at this juncture that two students in Yale College, John and Eb- enezer Cleaveland, returned home in vacation, and with their friends attended the separate meeting, for which they were afterwards arraigned before the College author- ities, and excluded from its privileges. The Council, call- ed for the ordination of Mr. Cogswell, consisted of the elders and messengers of fourteen churches,-all that ex- isted in the county, larger then than now. It remained in session three days, and resulted directly in the settlement of the town's candidate, and indirectly in the complete di- vision of the church. The sermon on this occasion was preached by Rev. Solomon Williams of Lebanon.
The separating party claimed to be the majority of the church, they carried with them the old book of church records, and divided the communion service with their op- ponents. . They rejected the authority of the Consociation, and the rule of the Saybrook Platform,-set up their wor- ship, unprotected and unacknowledged by the civil powers, and incurred disabilities and penalties thereby. In a few years they built a place of worship on the high land west of the Green, and Sept. 10, 1746, with the assistance of others of like minds from other towns, ordained Mr, Solo- mon Payne to the work of the ministry among them. , Mr. Payne continued in this office of pastor until his death, which, took place Oct. 25, 1754 .; His only successor was Rev, Jos. Marshall, -- ordained Apr, 18, 1759, and dismissed . Aug, 29, 1768,-who afterwards exercised his ministerial
7
gifts in Vermont, and died in the town of Wardsboro, at an advanced age,-respected for his piety and wondered at for his eccentricity.
.. Meanwhile, the church worshiping on the Green held quietly the even tenor of its way. The half-way covenant, however, fell gradually into disuse, the last record in con- formity with that practice bearing date 1759. In the year 1766, May 13, the church in Hanover Society, Lisbon, was formed, which was gathered partly from the terri- tory of Canterbury. Not long after,-Nov. 20, 1770,-a church was formed in the new Society of Westminster, wholly within this town. These events probably conspired with others to induce the removal of Mr. Cogswell to ano- ther field of labor.
He removed at a period when the clouds of war and rev- olution were fast gathering, and no pastor was settled in his stead until the storm had passed away, and peace smiled once more upon the land. During this period, the pulpit was supplied by various ministers for different periods of time. Among these, were Nathaniel Niles, afterwards a judge in Vermont; Rev. Job Swift, who had previously been a pastor in Richmond, Mass., and was afterwards set- tled in Bennington, Vt .; Rev. Samuel Hopkins, the noted theologian of Newport, then an exile from his parish for his country's sake, and Rev. Ephraim Judson, previously. a pastor in Norwich, and afterward settled successively in Taunton and Sheffield, Mass. At length, the times seemed propitious for the reunion of the Separates to the old church. To this end, some heads of agreement were adopted by the church, perhaps at the suggestion of Mr. Morgan, who seems to have been a peace-maker. But this effort was only partially successful. In 1782, the Separate church re-organized, and about 1790, removed their house of worship to the north part of the town, where it stood until the winter of 1852-3, when it was taken down, hav- ing been some time in a ruinous state. No pastor was set
1
8
over this church under its last form, and its members gradually wasted away by death or removal. For a while Mr Morgan preached in their house one-third of the time, but Mr. Morgan soon after encountered troubles in his own proper congregation, which led to his dismission,-troubles growing out of the unsettled state of religious opinions and feelings through the country. These same difficulties hin- dered the re-settlement of the ministry here during a pe- riod of eleven years .. Among the candidates that preach- ed here during this interim, were Mr. Thaddeus Fair- banks and Mr. Daniel C. Banks. In the years 1803-5, the present house of worship was erected by the society, being the third which they have occupied on the same lo- cation ; part of the cost of this house was defrayed by the proceeds of a lottery granted by the legislature for the ben- efit of this and other ecclesiastical societies.
Of the changes that have befallen the church since this period, it is not necessary to write, as they are within the knowledge of many living. Suffice it to say, that in com- parison with the state of things fifty years ago, there is no occasion to inquire, " What is the cause that the former days were better than these ?" The ministrations of the word have been made effectual to the establishment of the church in the faith and order of the gospel. The year 1831 was particularly remarkable for additions to the ranks ofprofessed disciples. And among the other pleasant fruits of these periods of revival, we note the grafting in again some of those branches which had been broken off from the stock of this ancient church. Thus in 1813, Nos. 370-376 of the catalogue of members were received from the disbanded Separate church, in the (so called) Bruns- wick society, on the borders of Windham and Canterbury ; and in 1831, No 530 of the catalogue, was received from the scattered church in the " North Society."
In the review of this varied history, the people of God in this place find occasion to " thank God and take courage."

NOTES.
Mr. Estabrook was the third son of Rev. Joseph Estabrook, and married Rebecca, daughter of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, Newton, Mass. She died soon after her husband, and lies by his side in the burial ground just north of the Green. Hobart Estabrook, one of their sons, became an esteemed pastor in East Haddam, Willington Society.
Mr. Wadsworth withdrew from his charge without a regular dis- mission, under the imputation of immoral conduct. He lived after- wards in his native town, and died (according to tradition) of apo- plexy, in the pulpit. His wife was Abigail Sproat of Middleboro, Mass .; his only son died in youth.
Mr. Cogswell's parents lived in Lebanon, during his childhood, but afterwards followed him to Canterbury, and died in his house. (See Nos. 229 and 230 of members.) After his dismission hence, he was settled in Scotland from 1772 to 1804, when he removed to Hartford, on account of his many infirmities. There he died at the house of his only surviving child, Dr. Mason F. Cogswell, having outlived that strength of mind which once made him honored, but not those graces of the heart, for which he was beloved. IIe was married, first to Alice Fitch of Canterbury ; secondly, to the Wid- ow of Rev. Mr. Devotion of Scotland, and thirdly, to Widow Irena Hebard. He received a Doctorate from Yale College.
Mr. Morgan was not educated at College. He had been pastor of a church (since dissolved) in Nazareth Society, Voluntown, from 1772 to 1782. Soon after leaving here, he was settled over the North Church in Canaan, where he died. He married a Widow IIaskell, one of whose sons became President of the University of Vermont. One of his sons graduated at Yale College, but died young, a lawyer in Vermont.
Mr. Leonard's doctrinal views were not satisfactory to some of the members of the church. He afterwards entered the ministry of the Episcopal church, and in that connection officiated at Windsor, Vt .; from 1818, till near the time of his death. He died of consump- tion, while journeying for the benefit of his health.
Mr. Meech was not educated at College, but received an honora- ry degree, while pastor at North Bridgewater, Mass., where he re- mained from 1800 until 1811. From this place he removed to Can- ada, and died in Hull, C. W., near the close of 1849. He was thrice married. His second wife and several children were drowned, soon after their arrival in Canada.
Mr. Murdock had been from 1819 to 1821, pastor of a church in Portland, Me., which is now extinct. He died, much lamented by
11
his congregation, and sleeps near the first pastor of the church. He was thrice married, but left only a daughter, since deceased.
Mr. Wheelock was a grandson of Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, the founder and first President of Dartmouth College. He first under- took the practice of law, but changing his profession, was settled successively in Newport, N. H., and in Norwich, Vt. On leav- ing his station here, he went to Indiana as a missionary ; but return- ing in 1836, with impaired health, was settled in Barre, Vt. Here he was broken up in a few years, by afflictions which resulted in partial disorder of his mental faculties. He died in Boston, having been twice married, and leaving several children.
Mr. Platt began his labors in 1828, at Willimantic, where he or- ganized the church, and remained some two years as an evangelist. Not many months after leaving this church, he went into New York, and has been there since,-from 1834 to 1842, pastor in Homer ; from 1842 to 1845, pastor in Manlius ; 1845-6, editor of the Re- corder at Syracuse, and from 1846 to 1853, pastor in Binghamton. He married Miss Caroline Dwight of New Haven ; his oldest son died at Yale College.
Mr. Whiton had been settled previously in North Yarmouth, Me., and in Troy and Westmoreland, N. II. He was afterwards pastor in Scotland, from 1837 to 1841, and thence removed to Har- risville, N. H., where he died suddenly. IIe was twice married, but without children.
Mr. Warren had been settled in Attleboro and South Wey- mouth, Mass., and in Wethersfield. . He has been since engaged in various labors connected with the Temperance Reform, and is now Secretary of the New York City Temperance Alliance.
Mr. Clarke is now pastor of the South Church in Hartford, and has lately received a Doctorate from Williams College.

NOTES.
Dea. Backus left the Church in 1744, with the Separatists.
Dea. John Bacon is not set down in the record among the members received, and his name is therefore not in the list follow- ing.
Dea. Stephen Frost was one of those who in 1770 formed the new church in Westminster Society.
Dea. Huntington was born in Lebanon, and graduated at Yale College in 1743. He was a merchant here. About 1769, he re- moved to East Haddam, where he died.
Dea. Adams removed hence to Massachusetts after 1796, and thence to Maine, where he died.
Dea. Fitch was the father of President Fitch of Williams Col- lege, and was himself a physician of reputation. After 1795 he . followed his children to Vt., and died at Sheldon, in that State.
13
Dea. Daniel Frost was chosen probably a short time before Dea. Moore. These two retired from active service on the election of others in 1821.
Dea. Simms in 1824 removed to Plainfield, N. Y., where he died. Dea. Kinne graduated at Yale College in 1804. He and Dea. Lucius Bacon retired from active service in 1847.

EXPLANATIONS.
In the following catalogue, the names found on the records have been arranged under the years in which they were receiv- ed,-the spelling being conformed to modern usage.
Names of females are given as they were at the time of admis- sion. If previously married, the name of the husband is also giv- en, preceded by w. for " wife of," or wid. for " widow of." If fe- males married while members, the husband's name is appended in italics, preceded by-m .- for "married."
An l. prefixed marks those received by letter.
Figures (in a parenthesis) after a name, refer to the father's name, if on the catalogue ;- otherwise to that of the mother. A name (in like position) is either the family surname of a married female, or the abbreviated name of the father, when neither pa- rent is named in the catalogue.
Figures in the last column show when the connection with this church came to an end, and the characters and letters preceding show how it ended. They signify, either-
* that a person died in connection with this church ;
or, D. was regularly dismissed to another church ;
or, W. “ irregularly withdrew to some other denomina- tion ;
or, Sep. " adhered to the Separatists in the schism of 1744;
or, Br. was one of the founders of the Brooklyn church; or, West. " was one of the founders of the Westminster ch .;
or, Ex. « was finally excluded from communion.
Miss Mary Adams (No. 340,) is the first person on the cata- logue, now living in Canterbury. After her name the absentees are marked by an A., that those who desire may ascertain who are the actual resident members.
The Alphabetical Index will be found convenient in searching for a particular name. Females that married while members, will be found under both their family and married nanies.
And now the compiler affectionately commends his work to the people of his charge, with the hope that they will find botlı pleas- ure and profit therein, making all due allowance for the difficul- ties of the undertaking (which were greatly enhanced by the ex- ceeding imperfections of the records,)-and with the prayer that this promise may be fulfilled to them,-" The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children."
