REV. THOMAS ROBBINS, D. D., son of Rev. Ammi R. Robbins, of Norfolk, was employed to fill the pulpit made vacant by the dismission of Mr. Bassett ; - and on the 20th of April of this year, a committee was appointed to ascertain his views of settling in the ministry ; and to secure the continuance of his labors as a candidate. In May following it was voted, " that we do earnestly and sincerely wish that Mr. Robbins would agree to supply the pulpit personally, when he is able; but in case his health will not admit of it, that he should engage some one to preach in his absence, - and that he be indulged the liberty of taking all possible pains to gain his health."
At the annual meeting, November 2d, it was unanimously voted (53 members of the Society present and voting), to invite Mr. Robbins to a settlement, with a salary of $430. The Church, with equal unanimity, voted the call. Owing to his feeble health Mr. Robbins declined the call, and soon afterward withdrew from the Society.
The electors admitted this year were Jos. T. Cummings, Stephen Wheadon, Jos. Chamberlin, Chauncey White, Elisha Wetmore, and Jona- than Church.
SAMUEL W. BALDWIN, from Goshen, became the owner and occupant of the old Crocker house, at the parting of the Green Woods and Water- bury River turnpikes, half a mile above the toll-gate, and succeeded Simeon Moore as tavern-keeper, adding thereto the trade of blacksmith. In 1810 he sold out and left the town, but in 1818 resumed the owner- ship, and in 1819 conveyed the premises to his son, Norman Baldwin, who sold out to James Crocker in 1823 and removed to Vernon, New York. He had another son, George W., older than Norman, who was graduated at Yale College in 1811.

1808.
In 1799, one-third of the town meetings had been carried to Winsted, and were held at the old Higley tavern, now standing in the West village ; - all of the electors' meetings being still held in the old Society. This year Winsted had so increased in population as to claim that both the town and electors' meetings should be there holden each alternate year. The result was a vote to hold half the town meetings in the Winsted (east village) meeting licuse ; - all the electors' meetings still to be held in the old Society.
In Society meeting, January 11, 1808, the committee were directed to employ Rev. Frederick Marsh to supply the pulpit for the future at their discretion.
February 12th, it was voted to paint the meeting house, - the body white, and the roof red.
At the annual meeting, November 7th, it was voted to unite with the Church in their call to Mr. Frederick Marsh, to settle in the work of
238
ANNALS OF WINCHESTER,
the Gospel Ministry; - 33 in favor and 1 against the vote; - and to give him a salary of $430.
December 19th, Mr. Marsh declined the call, partly on account of lack of unanimity and partly on account of his inability to procure a residence without going into debt therefor ; - whereupon the Society voted unani- mously (42 present and voting) to continue their call, and to ascertain whether his first reason assigned would be insurmountable, provided the second were obviated. Mr. Marsh's answer to this overture was laid be- fore a meeting on the 30th of December, and was as follows :
BRETHREN AND FRIENDS :
Your call to me to settle in the work of the Gospel Ministry has re- ceived from me a deliberate and solemn attention. After a mature and prayerful consideration of the call, and the several subjects connected with it; and after taking the advice of my particular friends, and others whose situation and experience enable them to assist me in making up my mind on so important a subject, I have thought it my duty to ac- cept, and accordingly do accept your invitation to settle with you in the work of the ministry, provided at the time appointed for the ordination no difficulty should then exist in Church or Society, which would render it improper for me to receive ordination.
With sentiments of respect, and a desire for the peace and happiness of the people,
Winchester, Dec. 30, 1808.
I am yours &c., FREDERICK MARSH.
The 1st day of February, 1809, was appointed for the ordination, and the previous Friday assigned by the Church as a day of fasting and prayer, and one or more neighboring ministers were invited to attend the exercises.
Neither the records of the Society or Church, nor Mr. Marsh's histori- cal notes give any particulars of the ordination.
It took place on the day appointed, and Mr. Marsh entered on his faithful and acceptable ministrations, and still lives, the venerable and be- loved Patriarch of the ministers of Litchfield County.
He was son of Jonathan Marsh of New Hartford, where he was born September 18, 1780. He prepared for college with Rev. A. R. Robbins, of Norfolk, - graduated at Yale, September, 1805, - studied theology under Rev. Asahel Hooker, of Goshen, - was licensed as a preacher by the Northi Association of Litchfield County, - and was dismissed from his pastoral charge October 2, 1851, after a laborious ministry of more than forty-two years. He married, May 22, 1809, Parnal Merrill, of New Hartford, daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Flower) Merrill, born August 7, 1782; died March 11, 1860.

CHAPTER XVIII.
STATE OF SOCIETY-CUSTOMS-FAMILY RECORDS.
1811 to 1831.
WE find Old Winchester, at this period, in its full maturity and vigor -a staid agricultural community, with well-established institutions in good running order, with a homogeneous population, elastie in spirit, virtuous in morals, and orthodox in faith, with property as equally distributed as is consistent with the varied capacity of men to acquire and to hold it, with no overshadowing rich, and very few abjectly poor men.
The compiler's first personal knowledge of this section of the town was acquired by attending a Fourth of July celebration there solemnized in 1810 or 1811. To a boy of eleven or twelve years, whose experience of the world had been hitherto limited by the hills and mountains surround- ing the Winsted valley, this outlook on the world was decidedly impres- sive. The elevated plateau of the centre village received the earliest rays of the rising sun, and the latest effulgence of the setting luminary. Around and near the village green were some half dozen most respectable lean-to houses, some of them in white paint and others in red, which were occupied by the clerical, legal, medical, and magisterial dignitaries. There were other houses indicating comfort and respectability : two gambrel- roofed stores, one Federal and the other Democratic, where they sold two and six-penny hum-hums for eighteen pence a yard, Barlow knives for nine-pence a piece, and New England rum for three shillings, and Jamaica for four and sixpence a gallon. The tavern was a one-story building of neutral tint, large on the ground, with a capacious garret. Two black- smith shops and the pound were on the outskirts of the village.
The meeting-house stood near the centre of the triangular green, with its line of horse-sheds bordering the front line of Theron Bronson's prem- ises. The whipping-post and stocks, those indispensable pillars of New England law and order, stood on the green near the meeting-house. The post did extra duty as a sign post, on which public notices were fastened, and to which, when occasion required, the petty thief was tied, to receive from the constable his five or ten lashes " well laid on to his naked back."
The " stocks" were an upper and lower plank, say six feet long, eight inches wide, and two inches thick, the lower one lying edgewise near the

ground, mortised at one end into the post and firmly fastened to the ground at the other. The upper plank was attached to the post at one end by a heavy hinge, so that its lower edge came in contact with the upper edge of the other, and they were held together by a hasp and pad- lock at their outer ends. At the line of junction of the two planks were four holes, half in the upper and half in the lower plank, about three inches in diameter, ranged at suitable distances for receiving the ankles of two culprits. How often our worthy forefathers and their young chil- dren were treated with the edifying spectacle of a public whipping at the post or of a culprit in the stocks, is not ascertainable.
A well authenticated tradition is handed down, of one Meacham, a hired laborer of old Squire Hurlbut, of very moderate intellect, who, after a faithful service and inoffensive life of several years, took it into his head to run away, and to carry with him a variety of articles of clothing, &c., purloined from his employer's premises. His theft being discovered, he was pursued, brought back, and tried on a grand juror's complaint, found guilty, and sentenced to be publicly whipped at the post. The sentence was duly executed on Saturday. On Sunday following, though not a church member, he attended public service, occupying a prominent seat. At the close of service, he arose, and the minister read to the audience his penitential confession, asking pardon of the church and the community, and that he might be restored to public confidence. The minister then exhorted the people to accept his confession, and to extend to him their sympathy and encouragement in aid of his reformation. He is said to have continued to live with his old employer for several years a blameless and exemplary life.
To return from this episode to the celebration :- the day was fine, the gathering large. The long booth of green boughs stood on the green in front of the tavern and shaded a table of equal length, loaded with baked beef and mutton, roasted pigs, baked Indian puddings, and pies of every variety the season afforded. The sayings and doings of the occasion were fully reported in the Connecticut Courant of the following week ; how the procession was escorted into the meeting-house by Captain Bunnell's full militia company, the singing led by Major Lloyd Andrews, the prayer offered by Rev. Ammi R. Robbins of Norfolk, the able and brilliant oration pronounced by Rev. Chauncey Lee of Colebrook, the table presided over by Captain Abial Loomis of Winchester ; then followed the toasts fragrant with sentimental patriotism and Malaga wine, each followed by a feu-de-joie of musketry and the asthmatic cough 'of a cast-iron four-pounder field piece, mounted on cart-wheels which had been brought from Litchfield for the occasion, no cannon having ever before been fired in the peaceful town .*
* The history of the old field-piece, prior to its advent in Winchester, whether it was a trophy of the Old French Wars or of the Revolutionary struggle, is lost in
244
ANNALS OF WINCHESTER,
Such was Old Winchester sixty years ago. Several of the old lean-to houses have passed away. The venerable mansion where Squire Alvord dispensed justice for nearly fifty years, is gone, leaving no trace behind. The dwelling place of Rev. Mr. Knapp is also gone, and its location undefined by any visible mark of a former habitation. Captain Hurlbut's tavern at the center has given place to the present residence of his grandson bearing his name. Four or five others, at and near the center, still remain decayed and venerable, but not dilapidated.
The old Meeting House, and the Tavern House of 1810, afterwards used as a store, are also gone, as well as the whipping post and stocks. The Green is no longer cumbered with church sheds, or other appen- dages. The more recent meeting house, a neat, well-repaired building, with its wooden Doric portico, tower, and bell, faces the Green at the east, end of the northern border, and the new and commodious store of Theron Bronson has superseded the former store building, while his dwelling occupies the intervening space in the rear of the old horse sheds. Several other large and commodious dwellings of modern date give to the village a cheerful and refined aspect.
The subsequent history of the Society is barren of notable incidents.
oblivion. Since it first gave voiee to the patriotism of Old Winehester, its fate has been quite eventful. It never went back to Litehfield, having been bought of its former owners by old Unele Richard Coit, who, some years after, parted with it to some un- known parties in Winsted. Here it was made to vomit small thunder from its rusty throat from Cobble Hill, Street Hill, and divers other places, on all festive occasions. It was brought into service to defend the liberty pole on the East Village Park against the assaults of the old Federalists during the War of 1812, and at a later period to break up meetings of the pestilent abolitionists. Some thirty years ago a couple of Insty old maids living at the East Village hotel, out of patience with the noisy thing, which had been fired off in front of the house half the night, and had been left on the ground, contrived to roll it into the garden, where they dug a grave and buried it. The gun was no more to be found for a dozen years, when the secret of its burial place leaked out. It was exhumed and again did service in celebrating the political vietories of each party until the Buchanan campaign, during which the Republicans again seeretly buried it, with the intention of resurreeting it for use in the event of Fre- mont's election. The Democrats discovered its grave in season to secure it for their use when the returns came in, showing the election of " the Old Public Functionary." They used it most savagely in front of the Herald office, breaking in the windows and doors and smashing things generally. Why it didn't burst with the enormous charges filling it to the muzzle, no one can tell. It was soon after taken by the Fremont men and thrown into the Clifton Mill pond, where it remained until mid-winter, when a West Village saloon-keeper and his patriotic customers turned out one cold night and made diligent search up and down the cold stream until they found and transferred it to a safe hiding place, where it was kept ready for renewed use in the Spring, to eele- brate the election of General Pratt for Governor. His opponent was elected, and the gun wasn't wanted. It was liable to be discovered in its hiding place, so the party in possession again buried it in an unknown grave, where it is said to remain to this day.
