After the death of Mr. Brainard, Mr. Treat seems to have continued to preach here until March, 1739, when Mr. Ne- hemiah Brainard was called to settle. Mr. Richard Treat appears to have been the son of " Thomas Treat of Nayaug," born May 14th, 1694, and was graduated at Yale, 1719. The place of his labors and the time of his death are unknown.
Rev. NEHEMIAH BRAINARD, second minister of Eastbury, son of Hezekiah and grand-son of Deacon Daniel B., brother of David Brainard the celebrated missionary, was gradu- ated at Yale, 1732, settled at Eastbury, January, 1740, died November 9th, 1742, in the thirty-second year of his age. A proposition was made after the death of Mr. Brainard, to re- claim the fifty acres of land granted to him by the proprietors,

but the town refused, by its vote, to have anything to do with the matter. Mr. B. was married, but whether he left any family, we have not learned .*
Rev. ISAAC CHALKER. There is a tradition among some of the oldest inhabitants of this parish that Mr. C. was an Englishman. This seems, however, to be a mistake, for he ap- pears, from a great variety of circumstances, to have been the son of Abraham and Deborah Chalker; to have been born at Saybrook, September 12th, 1707, and to have been graduated at Yale, 1728. He was settled at Bethlehem, Orange county, N. Y., where he remained until 1743. In December of that year, he was invited to Eastbury by a vote of twenty-six to seventeen, to preach on probation, and soon after was called to settle by a vote of thirty-seven to eighteen. He was in- stalled October, 1744, and died May 21st, 1765. The name of his first wife, by whom, previous to 1750, he had eight children, and also the subsequent history of the children, is unknown. His first wife dying, he married Sarah Morley of Glastenbury, in 1762. Only two children are spoken of in the doings of the parish at the time of his death, Joanna and Isaac, both apparently children of the second wife.
Mr. C. had been unfortunate in the loss, while at Bethle- hem, of his stock of cattle and a negro servant, by the cold winter of 1740-41. To replace these, and to pay the expen- ses incurred by the removing his family to Connecticut, he loaned £650 of the colony, which subsequently became a source of much annoyance and vexation to him and the par- ish, the colonial authorities insisting upon payment, when he appears to have had nothing wherewith to pay. From the society records and public proceedings in the case, we learn that his settlement was £300, and his salary £130; that the General Court issued in a brief for a contribution in behalf of him and the parish, from which they realized £126, and that finally his friends in Glastenbury raised a considerable sum for him, and the General Court gave him the remainder. It also appears that the parish of Eastbury was at this time

in a very weak condition; that in 1740, the list of the parish was only £2,510 10s. Even some fifteen years later, their list was only £4,000, and two thousand acres of the land in the parish were owned by non-residents. The following is the substance of a paper in the same proceedings, entitled :
" What Glastenbury has done for Eastbury.
1731, Gave 100 acres of land for the first Minister, when made a Society.
1736, Taxed the unimproved lands for their benefit, for four years.
1740, Gave fifty acres of land to the second Minister.
1753, Made a contribution [subscription] for it.
1754, A tax of 12d. an acre on unimproved land for the benefit of that Parish.
1761, Gave fifty aeres of land for a Parsonage.
1762, Gave part of a mile of Common for their benefit."
The subscription above alluded to has been preserved, to- gether with an account of money raised in Eastbury for the same purposes, paying Mr. Chalker's indebtedness to the colony, and is copied below for the light it throws upon the location and condition of the signers. 'The parish at this time was grievously distressed, and greatly weakened and dis- heartened, among other things, by the loss of twenty-six male members in the French war, immediately after Mr. Chalker's settlement, most of them being the young and active mem- bers of the parish, its future hope and stay and support, and soon after by the setting off of a body of active citizens to aid in forming the parish of Marlborough.

The friends of Mr. Chalker having raised half the amount due the State, the colony either gave him the remainder, or some other means were provided by which he was enabled to pursue his labors in peace and quietness, until his death in 1765 .*
Though the society of Eastbury had suffered many losses, it was doomed to suffer still another in the life-time of Mr. Chalker, the setting off a part of the parish to form the Ec- clesiastical Society of Marlborough, to which we have alrea- dy alluded. The petitioners from Eastbury were, Samuel Loveland, Abraham Skinner, David Dickinson, Jonathan Bingham, Joseph White, John Rutt, [Root,] Robert Loveland, Benjamin Skinner and Caleb Waddams. These, together with others from Hebron and Colchester, petitioned the Gen- eral Assembly to be made into a distinct society, and though stoutly resisted by Eastbury, the petition was granted in 1747, but the petitioners were required to pay their proportion of the charges of Eastbury for four years. In 1808, this socie- ty was made into a town, and in 1813, "the south end of John Tom hill" was set off from Eastbury, and made a part of Marlborough.
A portion of this loss was made up to Eastbury, however,

by the addition of the "fourth mile" or Common, to that par- ish, in compliance with a petition based on the following cu- rious vote :
" Voted to send A man to the Generall assembly of the Colony of Con- nitticutt to Purtishun for the inhabbytents that are and shall be on the fourth mile."
This petition was resisted by Glastenbury, but after some delay, was granted, giving to Eastbury all of the original " five mile purchase," not included within the limits of Marl- borough.
GENERAL HISTORY OF THIS PERIOD.
Many incidents of interest, worthy of notice, transpired in Glastenbury during the ministry of Mr. Woodbridge. In go- ing through with the records, we could not but observe a ten- der regard for the poor and the afflicted, which stands in striking contrast with the more modern fashion of dealing with the " Town's Poor," throughout Connecticut .* " Thir- . ty pounds" to this person, and " Twenty-five pounds" to that, to enable them to make provision for some case of idiocy or insanity, and lesser sums for lesser calamities, voted by the town for similar purposes, indicate a spirit of feeling that would rejoice humanity, should it again revive.
EARLY MUSIC.
One of the difficulties of the New England colonists du- ring the first half of the last century, was from a cause which could not have been foreseen or anticipated. From the first settlement of the country, until about 1712, there had been no such thing known in New England as a singing school, or learning to sing by note. The whole music of the churches was traditionary, and like all traditions had been so changed
* It was a pleasing arrangement by which the whole body of the " Town's Poor" were conveyed to the public Green on the day of the celebration, enjoy- ing its festivities, and partaking of its abundant luxuries, with a freedom and a zest that will not soon be forgotten by them.
77
in different places, that it was difficult to recognize the same tune, as sung in different choirs. And, strange to say, the great body of the people had become so much attached to this perverse practice, that when it was proposed to introduce regular singing by note, it raised such a storm in the land as amazes those who look back upon it from the present time. The storm spent its greatest fury in Massachusetts, dividing congregations and arraying ministers and people, deacons and choirs, in the utmost hostility against each other. In Connec- ticut, the zeal of the combatants was less fervid and general. But even here, the interposition of the General Court was required in many towns to quiet the disturbances arising from the introduction of "singing by rule." In Glastenbury, the matter was quietly and easily disposed of by a vote of the town in February, 1733, directing the congregation in the first society, to sing one-half the day by "note," and the other half by " rule," and to begin after the next election .*
This vote was not entirely satisfactory to the society itself, and accordingly in July following, at a meeting called for the purpose, it was,-
" Voted, that the Regulor or new way of singing be defered, and not be sung in the Congregation in this Society on the Sabbath days, until the meet- ing of this Society in December next, and that, in the mean time this Society, or as many of the inhabitants thereof as can conveniently attend it, do meet once a month at the place of public worship on the second Wednesday in each month, at two of the clock in the afternoon, to learn the said way of singing ;- and that there be also three private meetings set up for said singing once a week or fortnight, two in the Town Platt, and one at Naighuig, (viz.,) at Mr. John Hollister's Hoose at Naighuig on the first Monday in each month at four of the clock in the afternoon ;- at the Hoose of Jonathan Hale on the third Wednesday in Each month, at the same time of day, and at the Hoose of Mr. Daniel Wright on the forth Wednesday in Each month, at the same time of day."
The sound sense and practical wisdom of this resolve, equalled only by the ready compliance of the people with the

same, are worthy of all praise and careful imitation. The idea of singing without learning, or of being exensed from making an effort to learn, seems never to have entered the minds of our ancestors. Would that their descendants might imitate this example, whereby our churches might secure more and better singers. At the December meeting of the society, such progress had been made in learning to sing by rule, that it was resolved to commence on the first Lecture day, that Mr. Woodbridge could preach a sermon appropriate for the oc- casion.
In Eastbury, the regular way of singing met with more opposition. It was first adopted in 1740, and in a short time after rejected, but again subsequently adopted. In the first society, Dr. Watts' version of the Psalms was adopted in 1756, and in 1773, the same society voted " to sing four times every Sabbath. without reading the psalms."
BURNING AND BUILDING A MEETING HOUSE.
A grievous calamity befel the first society during the min- istry of Mr. Woodbridge, in the burning of the Meeting House. on the night of the ninth of December, 1734. The fire occur- ring on Monday evening when there had been no exposure from any use of the house. there seemed to be no doubt that it was the work of an ineendiary, and efficient measures were taken to discover the offenders, but so far as we have been able to learn. without effect. On the 20th of January. 1735. the society voted to build a new house. "forty-four feet in width. and fifty-six feet in length. and twenty-four feet in height between joints." The house was located by a com- mittee of the General Assembly. appointed the May follow- ing. in the highway near the house of the late Rev. Mr. Stev- ens and the (then) present Rev. Mr Woodbridge. The house was to be elapboarded without and ceiled within. the walls being " filled." and the whole to be " finished in a manner snit- able for a Christian people to worship Gon in."
The sittings of this honse were partly pews and partly seats which were probably open. The pews were arranged around the outside of the house adjoining the wall. The
79
pulpit, standing on the west side of the house, had on the north a " square pew for the minister's family," and two other pews extending to the north end. South of the pulpit were the stairs leading into is an open space with a bench for children, and two pews similar to those north of it, extend- ing to the south end. Turning east by the wall on the south end, there were two pews before reaching the south door, and then one before arriving at the gallery stairs. Passing on the east side of the house, there stood two pews before reaching the front door, with the same arrangement of pews and doors on the remainder of the east side and north end. Within this range of pews was an aisle leading around the house, and another leading from the front door to the pulpit. divid- ing the central part of the house into two divisions, which were filled with rows of open seats or slips.
These seats were "dignified" after the following manner, by vote of the society :
"1. The pewes next the pulpit (exclusive of the minister's pewr.) to be the first seat and highest.
1. 2. The second pew to be the second seat
" 3. The fore seat [in the body of the house] to be the third seat.
" 4. The third pew and the second seat. to be equal.
" 5. The fourth pew from the pulpit, and the third seas to be equal
" 6. The fifth pew, and fourth seat, and the second pew from the fore door to be equal.
" 7. The third pew from the fore door, and the fifth seat to be equal.
% 8. And then the sixth seat and so on to the last."
This arrangement remained until 1762, when the society voted to " cut up the seats" in the body of the house, the space to be filled with pews, when they were all " dignified" anew, by a committee appointed to seat the house. When determining the place due to any individual. the seaters were to consider " the age, state and parentage." of any individual, and to proceed accordingly. The women were originally placed on the north side of the house, and all young unmar- ried people in the gallery, and it was not until 1757, that men and their wives were seated together.

RELIGION AND MORALS.
Of the state of religion and morals at this early period, we have no means of forming any accurate or certain estimate, as there are no records of any of the churches until subse- quent to the death of Mr. Woodbridge. The church records of his successor, the Rev. John Eells, compel us to believe that the influence of the French war had been as unfavora- ble to morals as destructive to life; and that the absurd practice of "bundling" prevalent in those days, was not un- frequently attended with the consequences that might have been expected, and that both together, aided by a previous growing laxity of morals, and accelerated by many concur- ring causes, had rolled a tide of immorality over the land, which not even the bulwark of the church had been able to withstand. The church records of the first society, from 1760 to 1790, raise presumptions of the strongest kind, that then, as since, incontinence and intemperance, were among the sins of the people. What the condition of things in East- bury was, we have no means of knowing, as that portion of the church records which treats of this point, was long ago, carefully removed. There is no reason, however, to suppose that this state of things was peculiar to Glastenbury ; for there is too much evidence that it prevailed throughout the country. We believe, also, that there has been during the last century, no such general deterioration of morals as many suppose ; but that, on the contrary, Christian principles and sound morals have made some advance within a century ; and we trust that they are destined to make still further ad- vance in a century to come. What the character of the coming generation shall be, depends upon the will and the act of the present.
