PREFACE.
1120571
My acquaintance with the Town of Wolcott began in May, 1872. After preaching there a few Sabbaths, with no expectation of continuing in the place, I became in- terested in the history of the church by discovering that its Centenary would occur in 1873. I soon after accept- ed an invitation to supply the pulpit for one year. After a few months' labor in the parish, the idea of writing a brief history of the Congregational Church and Society was entertained, and the work was commenced with the expectation that it would not exceed two hundred pages. From that beginning the present volume has grown, and is, therefore, a little different in plan and style from what it would have been if the original design had included so large a field.
The work necessary to the making of this book has been performed with the greatest pleasure, though pros- ecuted, much of the time, under circumstances of disad- vantage and discouragement. Now that it is done, I have no apologies to offer ; nor have I any regrets to ex- press, save that the people who form the subject of the volume have not received from my pen as high com- mendation as they deserve.
The labor has been performed within the space of two years, and has rather aided than hindered parish duties. In the commencement, it was as the Spring-time, full of

friends who have rendered special aid in this work, it is pleasant to say that all have cheerfully contributed infor- mation and encouragement as they were able, and have urged that the book be made as perfect as possible, even though the price of it should be increased. In fulfilling this last desire its publication has been delayed nearly six months.
I am specially indebted to Rev. Joseph Anderson, pas- tor of the First Congregational Church of Waterbury, who has taken much interest in the work from the first, and has rendered very valuable assistance. Also, to Frederick B. Dakin, Esq., of the Waterbury American, a practical book-maker, under whose supervision the vol- ume was printed. The following persons have also ren- dered special service to the work: Messrs. A. Bronson Alcott, Frank B. Sanborn, and William Ellery Channing, of Concord, Mass .; Judge William E. Curtiss, of New York; Hon. Leman W. Cutler, of Watertown ; Hon. Birdsey G. Northrop, of New Haven ; E. Bronson Cook, Esq., Editor of the Waterbury American ; Hon. Elihu Burritt, of New Britain ; Rev. William H. Moore, of Ber- lin ; Rev. Heman R. Timlow, and Messrs. Gad Andrews, Simeon H. Norton, and Isaac Burritt, of Southington ; Rev. William R. Eastman, of Plantsville ; the late Ralph L. Smith, Esq., of Guilford ; Mr. Aaron G. Atkins, of Chenango County, N. Y .; Mr. Lucas C. Hotchkiss, of Meriden ; Mrs. Lucina Holmes and Mrs. Lucina Lindsley, of Waterbury.

INTRODUCTION.
Amidst the rugged hills in the northernmost corner of New Haven County, just on the edge of the extensive granitic district which spreads through the western part of Connecticut, lies the town of Wolcott. It covers an area measuring six miles from north to south, by about three from east to west, and contains within its limits higher ground than any that lies south of it in the State. In its external features it is a good representative of those rural towns of New England which have failed, for whatever reason, to keep abreast of the age in its rapid onward movement. On the plateau at the center of the town stand two churches of that nondescript style of architecture so often seen amidst New England hills ; one of them in good repair, through the kindness of out- side friends, the other closed and going to decay. The Green which lies between these edifices is skirted by dwelling-houses, which have the look of having seen bet- ter times,-amongst these the remains of a flourishing country store, and of an equally flourishing tavern. There is the same look of incipient decay upon many of the houses of the town, some of which are still waiting for their first coat of paint. To one who wanders up and down these hills, on a sunless Autumn afternoon, the ef- fect is monotonous and depressing, and even in the pleas- antest Summer days there is but little that is interesting in these remnants of a farm life which must, at its best, have been unusually prosaic and dreary.
Not alone in its external appearance, but also in its
xiii
INTRODUCTION.
history, is Wolcott a fair specimen of the rural towns of Connecticut. There are the same noteworthy features in its earlier period ; there is the same steady growth up to a certain point ; and then, after the transition from agri- culture to manufactures has fully set in in the State at large, there is the same gradual decline. The hills of Wolcott, although lying midway between Farmington and the Manhan or Meadows of the Naugatuck, received scarcely a passing thought from the pioneers who settled Waterbury, and whose chief attraction in this quarter consisted in the open meadow-land which they had here discovered stretching along both sides of the river. The first permanent settlement by the Farmington colonists was made in the valley, and it was only by slow degrees that the population spread backward from the central basin, and extended up the hills. In course of time, however, as more land for farming purposes was required, the hill country came to be occupied, and the territory lying between Farmington and Waterbury (and there- fore called Farming-bury, according to the old Connecti- cut method of constructing place-names), naturally took the precedence in this respect. As early as 1731, there were residents within the limits of what is now called Wolcott, but it was not until eighty-two years after the First Church in Waterbury was organized that a separate church was established in Farmingbury ; and not until 1796 was Farmingbury incorporated as a town, and named Wolcott (after the Lieutenant-Governor, who, as Speaker of the Assembly, gave it the benefit of his casting vote).
Attaining to the dignity of a separate existence so shortly before the great transition which has been referred to began, the period during which Wolcott could be con- sidered a flourishing town was necessarily brief. As ap- pears from several statements in the following pages, it attained its highest prosperity during the first decade of the present century. The parish was then one of the strong- est in the county ; the Society had over two hundred tax-
xiv
INTRODUCTION.
payers on its list, and the attendance at public worship was so large that the meeting-house was habitually crowded. But the population of the town, which num- bered nine hundred and fifty-two in 1810, diminished steadily from decade to decade, until, in 1870, it num- bered only four hundred and ninety-one ; so that at the last census Wolcott was in respect of population one of the three smallest towns in Connecticut. The population of Waterbury, on the other hand, which in 1800 numbered 3256, but which in 1810 had been reduced to 2784, or less than three times that of Wolcott, received within the next ten years a fresh impulse from the development of new industries within the limits of the town, and has continued to increase from year to year, until it now numbers over fifteen thousand, and is therefore thirty times as great as that of Wolcott. In comparison. then, with its sister town, not only, but in comparison with most of the towns in the State, Wolcott seems, even to its own inhabitants, insignificant,- so much so that the author of this volume was, in the course of his inquiries, frequently greeted with the remark, "What can you find here of which to make a history? What can you say of Wolcott -the last place on earth that will interest anybody ?" It was dif- ficult, indeed, to make people feel that such a place could have a history which any practical person would care to hear about. But this goodly volume, with its varied con- tents, proves not only that the old town upon the hills, now in its decadence, has a history, but that its history is of great interest and value,-partly because of the exam- ple its people have set of quiet, heroic living, and partly because of the impress it has made on the character and career of the nation by the men it has sent forth into other parts of the land.
In view of this last-mentioned fact, it is eminently proper that so large a part of this volume should be occu- pied with biographical sketches of men born and reared on the Wolcott hills. These sketches constitute one of
XV
INTRODUCTION.
the most interesting and valuable portions of the book. In the biographies of such men as the Rev. Messrs. Gillet and Woodward, Deacons Aaron Harrison and Isaac Bron- son, Dr. Ambrose Ives, Seth Thomas, Judah Frisbie-a soldier of the Revolution -and, especially, Dr. William A. Alcott and Mr. A. Bronson Alcott, we find represent- ed the utmost diversity of experiences and the most varied types of character. Some of these were remark- able for their intellectual ability, others for their enter- prise, others for their philanthropic spirit or their piety ; but, in the case of most of them, their broad and fruitful lives were in striking contrast with the sterile country and the contracted sphere in which they had their birth and training. In none of these men is the contrast more marked than in him whose biography fills the largest space in the following pages, but who still lingers amongst us, Mr. Bronson Alcott of Concord. It is a strange transformation, that by which the farmer boy of Spindle Hill, having served his time as a peddler of Yan- kee notions in eastern Virginia, becomes the father of ed- ucational reform in America, a leader of the Transcend- ental school of New England philosophers, the intimate friend of Thoreau and Emerson, and the silver-tongued conversationalist, whose monologues on lofty themes at- tract and charm the selectest spirits of the East and the West.
The biographical portion of the book, though large, is not the largest. Of its six hundred pages, a hundred and fifty-four are devoted to the history of the Congregation- al church and society ; and this is the natural result not simply of the plan according to which the work was put together, but of the prominent position held by church and religion in the life of the people. In this, as in almost every old town in New England, the history of the commu- nity is to a large extent the history of the church, its meeting-houses and its ministers ; and we are thus taught, more impressively than by any deliberate presentation of
xvi
INTRODUCTION.
the subject, how the fathers of four score years ago de- voted their thought to theology and their lives to relig- ion.
Besides the history of the two churches, and the bio- graphical sketches, we have in the volume an account of the civil history of the town, a full report of the varied exercises of the Centennial Meeting, and a hundred and eighty pages of genealogies. In each of these divis- ions of the work there is evidence of the industrious research and faithful labors of the author. He has brought to this work, not indeed a facile pen, but a great fondness for antiquarian investigation and a warm sym- pathy with old-time phases of life and thought ; and the result is a book which is readable not because of its pol- ished periods, but because of its pictures of the past, so full of local coloring, and for a certain simplicity and quaintness of style, imparting to the page that flavor so well known to all readers of town and county histories. Among such histories this volume is destined to hold a creditable place. The extent of the class of books to which it belongs, no one can apprehend until he exam- ines the work of Ludewig on the "Literature of Ameri- can Local History" (published in 1846), and considers how many local histories have appeared since that bibli- ography was compiled. To this extensive and steadily incerasing literature the present volume constitutes a substantial addition. It calls attention once more to the minutest details of the old Connecticut life ; it increases the store of available materials from which the future his- tories of America must draw their most valuable facts and illustrations.
In scanning these pages, the reader is impressed not only with the prominence of the ecclesiastical element in the life of this old community, but also with the influence upon the people of the ecclesiastical system to which they adhered. The period most fully portrayed was one in which church councils, and the consociations which
t

pa

INTRODUCTION.
they represented, were recognized as possessing power. Their advisory function had all the force of authority, as may be seen in the declaration recorded on pages 120- 122, and its reception by the Wolcott church and society. It was a time in which the fellowship of the churches was something more than a name and a formality. In all acts of fellowship between the Wolcott church and its neighbors, the church in Waterbury took part ; for this old parish held to the other the relation of mother and sister at once, and made its influence felt in a beneficent way. It is to the writer of this a gratifying fact that the pleasant relations so long existing have suffered no real interruption, and that he is permitted as the representa- tive of the older organization, which still seems young and vigorous, to bespeak for the younger, as it seems to grow weak with age, the attention and sympathy of this new and busy generation. As pastor of the " First Church" of this whole region, I have a special interest in this his- tory of the church and people of Wolcott; and I take pleasure in bidding this volume, in which a precious frag- ment of the past is treasured up, God speed on its useful errand .. Its mission is not alone to the households scat- tered over the Wolcott hills; it should find a place in homes and public libraries throughout our broad country. Whatever hands it may fall into, may it do a good work in reviving pleasant memories of other days, and render- ing vivid to young eyes the sober pictures of the ances- tral time. May it incline us to do honor to those New England fathers to whom honor is so largely due ; and may it deepen our reverence for the nation by showing us how its foundations were laid with toil and sweat and patience on New England hills.
