cote, in the early part of the eighteenth century, for the benefit of the Episcopalian faith in this town, the reader is referred to the body of this volume.
Later in the same century, Rev. James Wetmore, also of Rye parish, preached once a month in Greenwich, as may be gathered from preceding pages.
In 1747, Rev. Ebenezer Dibble, a graduate of New Haven, began his labors as a missionary for Greenwich and Stamford.
In 1749, upon the petition of several people the town granted them liberty to build an Episcopal Church upon the brow of Putnam's Hill. It was accordingly built there, where are yet many grave- stones marking the site.
Dr. Dibble preached here for a long time, al- though the author is not informed of the particular time at which he resigned the pastoral charge. He used frequently to preach at the house of Moses Heusted, on the site where William A. Husted, Esq., now resides, and that within the memory of persons now living. He is described as a venerable man, of dignified appearance, his long white locks flowing gracefully over his shoulders.
Rev. Amzi Rogers, afterwards preached here, but when or for how long a time we are unable to ascertain. There appears to have been a period when there was but little permanent preaching.
During the great September gale of 1821 (some say 1823), the church upon the brow of the hill,
272
APPENDIX.
which had been built in 1749, was blown down. The roof was blown off at one gale, and the build- ing completely demolished at the other.
Christ's Church was raised July 4th, 1832. In November 1833, the Rev. Robert Davis was invited to take charge of the Parish. On May 4th, 1834, the Church was consecrated by the Right Rev. Thomas Church Brownell, D. D., LL. D., Bishop of the Diocese. There were also present at the conse- cration, the Rev. Ambrose Todd, Rector of St. John's Church, Stamford, Rev. Jackson Kemper, D. D., Rector of St. Paul's Church, Norwalk, and the Rev. Robert Davis, the minister of the Parish. The Rev. Frederick Beasely, of Penn., was also present.
Mr. Davies continued in charge of the Church until July, 1834, when he relinquished the cure. On the 9th of September following, the Rev. Joseph H. Nichols, was unanimously invited to the pasto- ral charge of the church ; and having accepted of the call, he entered upon the duties of the cure on the 14th day of the same month. He resigned the pastoral charge in February A. D. 1839.
On the 5th of April following, the Rev. Benja- min M. Yarrington, was called to the pastoral duties of the church. On the 15th of the same month he accepted the call, and entered upon the duties on the 27th of the same month.
April 20th, 1840, being Easter Monday, after the usual election of church wardens and vestrymen,
273
APPENDIX.
the Rev. B. M. Yarrington was unanimously elected the Rector of Christ's Church by the members of his parish, and accordingly signified his acceptance.
EMANUEL CHURCH at Glenville, was consecrated on the 22d of April, 1842, by Right Rev. Thomas Church Brownell, D. D., LL. D., Bishop of the Diocese. Present, Rev. Ambrose Todd, D. D., Rev. William C. Mead, D. D., Rev. John Purves, Rev. Mr. Howell, Rev. B. M. Yarrington. Also, of Diocese of New York, Rev. Thomas Coit, D. D., Rev. Mr. Harris and Rev. Mr. Partridge.
The church erected in 1832, was torn down in 1856, and a beautiful stone edifice was erected. During the year 1856, the services were held at the Methodist Episcopal Church. The following is a correct account of the consecration of the new edi- fice taken mostly from the Churchman, a New York paper :-
"This church was consecrated on Wednesday the 14th of January A. D. 1857. There were of the clergy, besides the Right Rev. the Assistant Bishop of the Diocese, and the Rev. B. M. Yarrington (the Rector), the Rev. Drs. Mead, Todd, and Harris (of New York), and Rev. Messrs. Carter, Leffingwell, Potter, Purdy, Purves, Robertson, Short, Stimson, Williams (of Ridgefield), Williams (of New Canaan), Vermilye ; and from the Diocese of N. York, Messrs. Bull, Partridge, Rumney, Peck, and Weaver. The day being extremely fine, and the sleighing good, large numbers of the inhabitants of the vicinity, to- gether with many from the neighboring cities and vil-

APPENDIX.
lages, were also present on the occasion ; and the church, which is capable of seating nearly six hundred adults, was densely crowded, so much that the nave, aisles, and every other portion of the building where standing room could be obtained, were quite filled. The Request to Consecrate was read by the Rector, and the Sentence of Consecration by . Dr. Todd. Morning prayer was commenced by Rev. Mr. Bull, Rev. Mr. Weaver reading the First Lesson, Rev. Mr. Purdy the Second Lesson, Rev. Mr. Purves the Creed, Prayers, and Litany, Rev. Mr. Vermilye the Epistles, and the Rev. Mr. Stimson the Gospel. The music was very good, and in the choir were Mrs. Bostwick, of Calvary Church, New York, Miss Juliet Davis, formerly of the same church, but now a member of Rev. Mr. Yarrington's congrega- tion, and Rev. Mr. Riggs of New York. The sermon was preached by the Bishop, from the following text: 'The true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.'-John, iv. 23.
"The Offertory was then proceeded with, the sen- tences being read by the Rector. The offerings amounted to one hundred dollars, which will be applied to the liquidation of a remaining debt on the church of about one hundred dollars. The Prayer of the Whole State of Christ's Church Militant was said by Dr. Mead. The Communion Service was performed by the Bishop, who was as- sisted in administering the Holy Sacrament to the clergy by Dr. Mead; and the Rector, Dr. Mead, Rev. Mr. Stimson, and Rev. Mr. Vermilye, ad-

minstered to the laity. After which the Benedic- tion was pronounced by the Bishop.
" We understand that the Rev. Mr. Yarrington has been rector of this parish for the last seventeen years. When he entered upon the charge, he had but one male, and some twenty female communi- cants. He has now, of both sexes, about one hun- dred communicants. And his congregation, though small is full of vigor, as is shown by the fine church they have erected, the whole expense of which, in- cluding furniture, has been about $15,500. The free-seat system, we learn, will not be fully carried out in this church ; but free seats will be reserved for strangers and for the poor. The style of the edi- fice is middle pointed. The material employed in the construction of the main walls is rubble-stone from quarries in the vicinity; the quoins, the window- jams, the doorways, the dressings, &c., being of Caen stone. The whole length of the building in- cluding chancel, is about one hundred and seven feet; and the width, including tower and butresses about sixty feet ; and consists of chancel, nave, north and south aisles, having a west porch, a tower on the north side at the west end. There is a small gallery at the west end, intended only for the organ and choir. The tower and sacristy occupy positions different from those in most churches, in order that the main entrance shall face the street. The chancel is some seventeen by nineteen feet, and the tower is sixteen feet square. The hight of the tower and spire is about one hundred and seven feet. The
276

church is capable of seating five hundred and fifty adults. The roof is open, of good pitch, and is covered with slate. In it are dormer-windows, giving it the effect exteriorly of a clerestory. The internal frame-work of roof, nave, arches, pillars, &c., is of pine ; and the panels of the ceiling are plastered. The seats are without doors, and as well as the furniture are of chestnut. The altar is of good size, and has a handsomely carved panel in front. The pulpit is on the north side against the chancel arch, and the reading-desk occupies the same posi- tion on the south side. The font stands in front of the chancel. It is of small size, constructed of mar- ble, and was used in the old church. The chancel- window is large, and of geometrical tracery. It contains in its four departments, effigies of the four Evangelists with their symbols in very rich glass ; and it also has appropriate symbols in the head of each light. At the west end of the church is a magnificent window. The side lights of the nave, are in couplets with ornamental glass in their heads. This is thought by many to be the finest country church in the State. Mr. Frank Wills is the arch- itect, Mr. Doremus furnished the glass, and Nicholls & Washburne were the builders."

GENEALOGY OF THE MEAD FAMILY, BY
D. M. MEAD.
JOHN MEAD was one of two brothers, who emi- grated from England about the year 1642. The family was then an ancient and honorable one, though it is not within the author's means to trace their genealogy previous to their emigration to this country. One of their ancestors had been the friend and the physician of the talented though not very amiable Queen Elizabeth. One of two brothers emigrated to Virginia, where the family still exists. The other, John Mead, with his two sons came to New England about the year 1642. The name is spelled Meade as well as Mead. Many claim that they emigrated from Greenwich, Kent Co., England ; but we have not fallen in with any direct proof of the fact, and this town was known by its present name long before the settlement of the Mead family. John Mead and his two sons, John and Joseph, having tarried awhile in Massa- chusetts, first settled at Hempstead, Long Island, where they remained until October, 1660, when the two sons came to Greenwich and bought land of Richard Crab and others, which was deeded to John

Mead, he being the elder. Either John, the father, never came to Greenwich, or if so, he took no active part in life, now having become quite an old man. His son Joseph left no children in this town. He may have died young, or left no issue, or may have emigrated to a different part of the country.
John Mead the second, died 1696, married Miss Potter, of Stamford, and left, as appears by his will given on the preceding pages of this volume, eight sons, and tradition says three daughters, viz., John, Joseph, Jonathan, Ebenezer, Nathaniel, David, Samuel, Abigail, Mary, and Susan or Susannah.
John, the first son of second John, died in 1691, while in the office of Constable of the town. Mar- ried Ruth Hardey, and left John, Nathan, Jonathan, and Elizabeth. (We regret our utter inability to trace this branch of the family farther.)
