HISTORY OF DURHAM.
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS.
The Township of Durham is from five and a half to six and a half miles long from east to west; and four miles broad from north to south. The principal stream is called Coginchaug, or Aramamit. It rises in a spring near Bluff Head, eight or ten rods in circumference, and, running nearly north through the mead- ows, assumes the name of West River, and forms a junction in Middletown with Little River. It receives Wheeler's brook from the south-west, and Malt brook from the south-east, and Allyn's brook from the east. The meadows at different times have been partially drained by deepening and broadening the Aramamit, much to their advantage. A further outlay would, it is believed, be attended with a further corresponding advan- tage. There is another brook in the west part of the town, called Saw-mill brook, remarkable for its sudden rise into a swollen torrent in case of rains; and also another still, called Potash brook, from the potash works near it, formerly carried on by Dr. Cole.
The New Haven and Middletown Turnpike, and the Durham and Haddam Turnpike, and the Durham and Madison Turn- pike, and the Durham and Guilford Turnpike, have all been given up to the public by the several companies.
There are several pleasant drives, as to Pistapaug Pond, to Quonapaug Pond, and to Middlefield, and to Middletown. Pis- tapaug is remarkable for containing in its limits a single monu- ment, the corner boundary of four towns, Durham, Guilford, Wallingford and Branford.
The Town gave a call to the first minister before the Church was formed, and invited a Council of ministers who settled him. The Town gave a call to the second and third ministers. The Church, after an interval of some weeks, seconded these calls by its action. The Town was recognized by the laws of the colony and of the State as a religious parish, and permission was given to it, by the Legislature to embody themselves as a church.
The three first ministers, at their settlement asserted their offi- cial rights. See pages 41, 43 and page 55, and page 66. At the settlement of Mr. Smith, it was agreed that he should take the pastoral charge of the church, "to teachi, guide and direct " them.

The ministers then settled had great influence in the town for more than a hundred years. Macauley, in his history of Eng- land, Vol. III, page 89, speaking of dissenting ministers, in England, says : " His influence over his flock was immense. Scarcely any member of a congregation of Separatists entered into a partnership, married a daughter, put out a son as an ap- prentice, or gave his vote at an election, without consulting his spiritual guide. On all political and literary questions the min- ister was the oracle of his circle." The same was true of many of their brethren in New England, and of the three first minis- ters of Durham.
According to one theory of Congregationalism, the principal officers of each church were a ruling elder, a teaching elder, pas- tor and deacons; to say nothing of deaconesses. When from one cause and another the three offices of ruling elder, teaching elder and pastor became merged in the one office of minister, it was very natural that his people should concentrate on him the respect, and affection, and confidence which had been distrib- uted upon the three. He enjoyed the affection and respect, which in given cases in the Episcopal Church, were shared by the bishop, priest and deacon.
In the New Haven Colony, there was virtually a union of Church and State, the Church taking the lead. In the Connec- ticut Colony there was virtually a union of Church and State, the State taking the lead. In Durham, which was incorporated after the union of the two colonies, the civil power seems to have taken the lead.
In Durham, the Congregational denomination, for more than a century, enjoyed the advantage of belonging to the "standing order," the privileged denomination of the colony and of the State. In common with other Congregationalists in the State, they lost this advantage, especially after the adoption of the State Constitution. In Durham, as elsewhere, many of the Con- gregationalists took ground against the Constitution ; as did the Congregational clergy generally, even those who had carefully eschewed political preaching, and political intrigues. For in- stance, the Rev. John Elliott, D. D., who had carefully avoided political preaching, rose in the Town Meeting in Guilford, which was about to vote on the adoption of the Constitution, and said,

HISTORY OF DURHAM.
"I have been reported to be in favor of the constitution. I rise to contradict this report, and to say that I shall give it my entire negative." In Durham, as in some other towns, this opposition to the State Constitution operated unfavorably upon the Congre- gational denomination.
For a long period, Durham, like many other towns in the Commonwealth, was somewhat isolated, so far as frequent inter- course with other towns was concerned, and hence, like them, had a character of its own, shaped by influences largely within it- self. For more than a century, religion and education were the two great interests very ably set forth, and strikingly illustrated by three distinguished clergymen. The influence of these three men, and of other leading minds, and the powerful impression which they made, were distinctly seen in the character and tastes of the people of the town, in creating an interest in these two great interests, religion and education.
SANITARY.
The geological formation, and geographical position of Dur- ham serves to render it a very healthy town. This is proved by comparing the registration statistics with those of the State at large, with those of the United States, as proved by the last census, and with the statistics of the State of Massachusetts, where they have attained great perfection, extending over a range of more than twenty years. That State seems to be divi- ded into two great sections, the Atlantic coast, where consump- tion is found to greatly predominate, and the inland, where Zymotic diseases take the lead and bring up the balance of mor- tality. That division is found to extend through this State; the sea coast, with its predominence of consumption, and the inland and northern section, with its predominance of Zymotic diseases. In Durham, located on the confines of these great divisions, sheltered in a measure from each by the beautiful hills which mark its boundaries, these opposing causes of disease seem to be so nicely balanced that neither obtains predominance, and the minimum of diseases of each division seem to be obtained.
The fevers which were so prevalent and fatal a half century ago in this vicinity, have changed to a mild form of Typhoid, rarely fatal, and which by its renovating effect on the system,

warding off consumption, is, no doubt, conducive to long life in the masses. There have been but two deaths from fever regis- tered for several years. These were both in the army. One died there, and the other a few hours after his arrival in Dur- ham. There have been two hundred and fourteen deaths regis tered in Durham the last eleven years. Of these, one male and seven females were over ninety years of age, fifteen males and fifteen females were over eighty, nineteen males and twelve fe- males were over seventy. Of one hundred persons, nearly one- half of the whole number of deaths, the average age was 75.9. Of the whole number, the average age at death was 32 1-2, males 28 1-2, females 36 1-2. In Massachusetts, average age 30, males 29, females 31.
In this State the returns are not sufficiently complete to ascer- tain the average age, or the number of inhabitants to each death. In Durham, it is 1 death to 59 of the inhabitants yearly. In Massachusetts, 1 to 52; United States, 1 to 45; in Boston, 1 to 41; in New York City, 1 to 36. There have been 10 cases of consumption in Durham during the last five years ; average per cent. 8; in this State, for the same years, 15 per cent. ; in Massachusetts, for a term of years, 16.7 per cent. ; United States 14 per cent. Of Zymotic diseases, which more clearly indicates the healthfulness of a section, there are 20 deaths ; average per cent., 17 1-2; average in this State, 30 per cent. ; Massachusetts, 29 ; United States, 32 per cent.
Of Births during 10 years, there were, 121 males, 109 females. About this proportion holds good in all statistics ; average per year, 23. Of these the average foreign births were about 5 1-2 per annum and no material increase during the 10 years.
EXTRACT FROM A LETTER OF JARED POTTER KIRTLAND, LL. D.
"In that town (Durham,) at this period (1817), an intelligent, kind and social set of manners prevailed through the whole population ; the imprint of one or more past generations. More wealth, splendor and show, as well as vice, could be found in other Connecticut towns ; but here were order, civility, and the very essence of good breeding-the art of making every one comfortable and happy.
228
HISTORY OF DURHAM.
" General Wadsworth, who died about this time, was the type of a generation whose living representatives were the Chaunceys, Wadsworths, Chedseys, Bateses, Lymans and others that should be enumerated.
" The young and middle-aged formed and made one social cirele. Its meetings were frequent, and into it little that was frivolous found its way, and less that was malevolent and scan- dalizing. Its influence soon become manifest in my own man- ners, and expressions. Hitherto retired, cold, melancholic, I be- came cheerful and social, with an entire change of deportment.
" Two individuals exerted great and favorable influence over me. The first was Worthington G. Chauncey. At our first ac- quaintance we neither looked, thought, nor acted alike: except we both had similar and congenial tastes for pomology and ag- riculture. Soon, however, the kind ways, industrious habits and strict integrity of Esquire Chauncey commanded my respect and ensured my confidence. Here an intimate acquaintance sprung up between us; and every perplexing matter, even medical cases were submitted confidentially to him, and his advice solicited.
"In recent years I have been heard to assert, that Worthing- ton G. Chauncey was the best balanced man with whom I was ever acquainted. A highly cultivated moral faculty was united with kindness and benevolence. He was industrious and perse- vering, ever reliable, ever ready to aid the feeble and dis- tressed, and to advance the publie good.
" The other individual, to whom I referred, was the Rev. Da- vid Smith. His example and precepts corrected my skeptical views of religion, which I had formed early in life, and through life confirmed me in the truth of the Christian religion.
" Soon after my loeating in Durham, the population in differ- ent localities were, from time to time, attacked with the lowest form of that malignant Typhus Fever which, for the first 30 years of this century, swept with such virulence the valley of the Connectieut River. During the progress of that epidemie, I was often thrown in communication with Drs. Miner and Tully and an intimate acquaintance sprung up among us. It was al- most a daily practice for the three to arrange our business so as to meet, consult and compare our views; a course not always followed among medical men."
