He then tells the people that he had been "at the Throne of Divine Grace for direction of Almighty God, in so weighty and important a matter ", and then he adds ; " I have also taken advice of my friends and Fathers in the Gospel Ministry ", thus it would seem that his first adviser did not respond, or that the advice was not given in strict accord with the Cambridge Platform.


The ordination took place in the South Schoolhouse and the Rev. Abiel Leonard, of Woodstock, preached the ordination ser- mon. Mr. Wheaton's health was failing at the time of his ordina- tion. In April, 1773, he was obliged to give up his ministerial duties and go to his father's home in Norton, Massachusetts, where he died in June, 1774, at the age of twenty-two.


The second minister was the Rev. Augustine Hibbard. He was settled in October, 1774, and dismissed in December, 1785. Mr. Hibbard was a graduate of Dartmouth College in the class of 1772. He was inconsistent, eccentric and a disturbing element in the congregation and little good resulted from his pastorate. The Church was without a minister from 1785, till 1796, when the Rev. John Tappan was ordained. He was dismissed in 1802, and was expelled from the Communion of the Congregational de- nomination in 1803. Mr. Tappan was born in East Kingston, Massachusetts, and was graduated from Harvard in 1790. After his expulsion from the Church, he remained in Claremont and kept a store.


In 1785, the Town voted to relieve all Baptists from being taxed toward the support of the Congregational minister.


In the Revolution, Claremont had a larger proportion of Tories than were to be found in many other towns. That Claremont might not be a haven of rest for these Tories, the Atkins brothers, and several other young men of great stature, strength and patrio- tism, formed a band for their extermination if need be, and elimi- nation any how. They solemnly agreed to try to capture all


470


THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY.


Tories and if capture were not possible, to shoot them. A famous resort of these king's-men was a place called in later times, " Tory Hole". It is situated between the Rich farm and Red Water Brook. It is surrounded by a swamp on three sides that was then filled by a dense thieket. On the fourth side is a steep rise of thirty feet, that is precipitous or the side towards the "Hole". Access to the " Hole " was through a ravine in the precipice, and also by a path winding along the foot of the precipice which en- tered the "Hole " near the Rich farm. The surface of the "Hole" is slightly. elevated and so, dry and a very snug hiding place. Such Tories as were passing through Claremont with information, or in search of it, for the British army, stopped at the " Hole " and their friends in the village took them food, while a fine spring in the " Hole " provided them with water.


The inhabitants were suspicious of every stranger till he had given a satisfactory account of himself, and this faet led to the discovery of "Tory Hole". In the autumn of 1780, a stranger with a large paek upon his baek was seen passing along near the Rich farm towards night. The watchful ones followed him till he suddenly disappeared from sight. Word was sent to the vil- lage and soon a large number of men were on the spot. A search was made and finally the path leading to the "Hole " was dis- covered. It being too dark to see anyone in the " Hole ", a guard was placed on the path with instructions to capture or kill any- one trying to pass. Just before sunrise the men reassembled and began to search the "Hole", when two men suddenly started up and ran toward the ravine, rapidly pursued by the patriots. The pursuers frequently lost and regained the trail, and finally arrived at the Connecticut River where they found that the two men


had swam across. Slinging their guns aeross their baeks the Patriots followed across the river. They had been following the two men sinee dawn and had traced them to Aseutney Mountain, at the foot of which the pursuers camped for the night. The ascent was begun early the following morning, from several dif- ferent places, and at the top of the mountain the men were found asleep. They were held as prisoners of war, since, being armed, they could not be regarded as spies, and were taken to Charles- town, New Hampshire, and from there sent to Boston and were later exchanged.


WINDSOR.


T HE charter of Windsor was granted in 1761, but the set- tlement did not take place till 1764. There is a diversity of opinion in regard to who the first settler, or settlers, were. The editors of the History of Windsor County dismiss this very interesting and important fact - important in the history of every town - with " nor is it a matter of any con- siderable importance ".


There seems to be no dispute that Solomon Emmons and his wife had put up a very primitive little eabin in Windsor some- time before 1764 - perhaps several years before - but as they had made no attempt at elearing or eultivating the land they eannot be regarded as settlers. It is quite probable that Mr. Em- mons was one of those hardy Connectieut hunters and trappers who went into the far north, up the Connecticut Valley, to trap and shoot animals for their valuable pelts. Another reason why Emmons and his wife should not be regarded as the first settlers or as settlers of any kind is, that they had purchased no land and were simply living there by the same right that the Indians would have lived there, the matter of ownership not being eon- sidered till after the King began to give away land that he had never seen and eould show no title to.


Captain Steel Smith, of Farmington, Conneetieut, is generally acknowledged to be the first permanent settler of Windsor. When he and his family arrived in August, 1764, they found Mr. and Mrs. Emmons there before them. Some authorities say, that Joab Hoisington was there with the Smiths but whether this is so has not been finally determined. In 1765, the Smiths were joined by several persons, among them being Major Elisha Hawley, Captain Israel Curtis, Deacon Hezekiah Thompson, and Deacon Thomas Cooper. This was a collection of military and Church dignitaries that must have impressed the actual possessors of the place whom the settlers shot for their flesh and their valu- able pelts.


One of the first cases of a hunter who " thought it was a bear " happened in Windsor. This same Joab Hoisington was hunt-

ing, with a companion named Bartlett, for bear. The men sepa- rated in the woods and when Hoisington heard a rustling and saw something move, without taking the trouble to investigate, he shot his friend. It is evident that the same kind of criminal who commits the same kind of crime in the twentieth century cannot boast of originality.


When the troubles arose over the act of the King which gave the New Hampshire Grants (Vermont) to New York, Windsor


11.1-

was a strong partisan of the settlers against the unlawful claim of the " Yorkers" to the improved lands and homes of the set- tlers. In this Windsor differed from Weathersfield, Brattleboro and some other places. At the same time Windsor was remote from the scenes of the conflicts of the Green Mountain Boys -- under Ethan Allen and Seth Warner -- with the " Yorkers " and so was not able to render or receive assistance from that small but terrific army of determined men. The people of Windsor had made valuable improvements to the land they possessed by grant, or by purchase from the original proprietors, and they were natu-

rally loath to give it up, without compensation, to the favorites of the Governor of New York, to whom he had given and was giving, the improved farms and the homes of the Green Moun- tain Yankees.


There is a tradition, that when a Vermont Yankee is born he is possessed of a small receptacle that is packed full of resources of many kinds and, in later life, when he cannot obtain his rights by his daring, his muscle or his bravery, he resorts to this little receptacle - which anatomists call the head - to obtain his rights. The people of Windsor used some of the resources that were stored away, to retain their rights. On October 29, 1765, the property owners presented a petition to the Governor of New York in which they explained how they came into possession of the land; that they had made valuable improvements at the ex- pense of a great deal of time and some money, and were very desirous that the Governor of New York would grant this land to them. But the Governor of New York did nothing about it. The petition of October 29, 1765, failed.


The inhabitants of Windsor then tried a perfectly legitimate scheme - it was better than legitimate for the Windsor people were dealing with New York land grabbers who regarded neither justice nor honesty - which worked to perfection.


The property owners of Windsor deeded their land to Nathan Stone. It was understood between themselves and Stone, that he was to act as their trustee and that, when he had obtained the grant from the Governor of New York, he was to deed back to each inhabitant his land. Nathan Stone then induced a number of men who lived in New York City, to join him in a petition to the Governor of New York for a grant of a township in that portion of New York, which was formerly known as the New Hampshire Grants - which was, of course, the Town of Wind- sor -and the Governor, seeing the names of good and loyal citizens of New York signed to the petition, granted it on March 28, 1772.


On March 31, 1772, Nathan Stone's New York City friends deeded their interest, under the grant from the Governor of New York, to him, and Stone paid each of them ten shillings for the use of his name on the petition. In November, 1772, Nathan Stone deeded back to each of the inhabitants of Windsor the land which he had deeded to Stone while he was acting as the

agent of the property owners in obtaining the grant from the Governor of New York. So Yankee " cuteness " was more than a match for "Our Royal Governor of Our Royal Province of New York with its Royal Institutions ".


In order that they might keep their own, upon which they had spent so much care and labor in improving, the people of Wind- sor even let their neighbors in the surrounding towns look upon them as traitors who favored the authority of New York, and so were against the interests of every settler of the New Hampshire Grants. But when the time came for the organization of the Grants into a separate and independent State, the people of Wind- sor were among the most earnest supporters of that movement. Windsor was loyal to the interests of the towns of the New Hampshire Grants in the controversy with New York, and it was even more loyal to the interests of the United Colonies in the controversy with Great Britain's German King, George III. The first Constitution of the State of Vermont was adopted at the con- vention held in Windsor on July 2, 1777.


The new State came very near to being called New Connecti- cut. A good name and one that would have been highly re- spectable, although entirely lacking in individuality. But VER- MONT! there is a word that has brought joy and happy remem- brance to many a son of the Green Mountain State in foreign lands; a word which; borne aloft on the banners of Allen and Warner in '76 and on the banners of the " Boys in Blue", in '61 ; caused terror and dismay to enter the hearts of the enemies of the United Colonies and meant defeat to those misguided brothers who hoped to disrupt the Union. It is only necessary to hear a real son of the soil pronounce the word - V'rmornt -to know that it tastes good in his mouth. This change of name was de- cided on at a previous convention held in Windsor on June 4, 1777.


Between the western and eastern portions of the Town of Wind- sor is a range of high hills running, in a general direction, north and south. The hardship of having to cross these hills to attend Church in Windsor village, resulted in the formation of two Church societies by the Legislature, in 1785. After many at- tempts had been made to divide the town for the same reason ; and also because the inhabitants on the west side of the sepa- rating hills felt that they were not receiving their share of rep-


475

resentation among the town officers; this was accomplished by act of the Legislature in 1814. As soon as they had been granted the divorce they so much wanted, they again became dissatisfied, and in 1815, the Towns of Windsor and West Windsor were reunited. In 1848, they were again separated and have remained independent since that year.


The Old South Church was organized in 1768, and is the first Congregational Church of Windsor. It was called the Church


THE FIRST COURT HOUSE, WINDSOR.


of Cornish and Windsor at the time of the organization - Cornish being across the Connecticut River in New Hampshire. The Covenant was adopted in Windsor on September 21, 1768, and in the following week its adoption took place in Cornish, and at the same time, the Rev. James Wellman was installed as the first minister of the twin Church. His salary was £40, New Hamp- shire currency, of which sum the people of Windsor paid one- third. A provision of the agreement - for the fulfillment of which the people gave a bond - was that this salary could be paid in cash, or in grain, beef, pork, or labor by the day. No doubt the labor as an equivalent of cash had its value then, but it is


476

somewhat difficult to appreciate its value now, for labor was neither food, raiment nor heat. Mr. Wellman was engaged for five years. He received as a settlement 200 acres of land. He preached a third of the time in Windsor, and two-thirds in · Cornish.


The membership in the Windsor portion of the parish had in- creased sufficiently by 1774, for eleven members to separate them- selves, by letters of dismission, that they might organize a Church in Windsor. The year in which the first meeting-house was built is not known, but it was before 1779. The " Old South Church " was built in 1798, at the then great cost of $5,000.


The first Baptist Church of Windsor was organized in 1785, by eleven persons who had been members of the Woodstock Bap- tist Association. The Rev. Roswell Smith was the first pastor, but there was no church building till 1802. The Church mem- bership increased sufficiently for it to be possible for the society to build a new brick church in 1815. The Rev. Leland Howard became its pastor in 1816.


Although there was no Church edifice in Windsor till about 1822, there were Churchmen and an Episcopal Parish as early as 1785. In that year the Rev. Ranna Crositt - the Tory rector of the Claremont Church - appointed Alexander Parmlee warden of the Parish of Windsor and Reading, adjoining towns: Ser- vice was no doubt held in the homes of the Churchmen in Wind- sor until they were able to build a church, in 1822. In 1816, the Biennial Convention of the Eastern Diocese was held in Windsor. The business of the Diocese was transacted in the home of Judge Hubbard and the services were held in the Baptist Church. This convention had a stimulating effect upon the desire of the Epis- copalians for a rector. Thomas Thomas wrote to the Rev. James Morss, of Newburyport, Massachusetts, urging him to come to Windsor to organize a Church and become its rector. Mr. Morss accepted a part of the invitation, by spending the last Sunday in November and the first in December, 1816, in Windsor. He organized St. Paul's Parish, celebrated Holy Communion and ad- ministered the Sacrament of Baptism to thirty persons. He did not, however, remain as rector of the Church, but left Colonel Alexander Dunham to conduct the services as lay-reader. There was a large congregation for the times and services were held in the Courthouse, on Common Hill. After his return to his home,

Mr. Morss was repeatedly urged by letter to accept the rector- ship of St. Paul's Church, but although he did not accept, he did spend two more Sundays in Windsor, in August, 1817. In the winter of 1817-'18, the Rev. G. Leonard came to Windsor. In that winter the church was built and was consecrated by Bishop Griswold in November, 1822, and Mr. Leonard was or- dained the day after the consecration of the church as its rector.


The military organizations of Windsor were Jefferson Artil- lery, organized in 1810, with Captain Tileston and Lieutenant Cutting its officers. In 1820, there were two uniformed com- panies, and two ununiformed which were called in derision, " The Floodwood". Of the first two companies, one was an artillery company and the other light infantry.
