On the 18th of September, 1843, the church and society, cach by unamimous votes, extended to the Rev. James A. Hawley a call to become their pastor, which call he accepted, and on the 25th of October following he was regularly installed as such. His connection as pastor continued until Nov. 5, 1849, when at his request he was dismissed by Consocia- tion. During the years 1845 and 1848 the church enjoyed seasons of revival, and as the fruits thereof about forty persons were added to it.

Believing that the best interests of the church would be secured by having a settled pastor, the church and society, with marked unanimity, on the 6th of May, 1850, extended to the Rev. Clinton Clark a call to settle among them. The call was accepted, and Mr. Clark was duly installed June 5, 1850. His connection as pastor of this church continued nearly fourteen years, or until April 5, 1864, at which time he was dismissed, and soon after entered upon the duties of acting pastor of the Congregational Church of Middlebury, Coun, where he died Sept. 23, 1871.

During Mr. Clark's ministry in Ridgefield one hun- dred and fifteen persons united with the church, of whom seventy-six were by profession. In considera- tion of his long-continued services the church, by resolution, extended to him "our most grateful ac- knowledgment and heartfelt thanks for all his labors among us, and that it is with deep regret that we part with one who has so long and faithfully discharged his duty to us in all the ministerial relations."

Mr. Clark was a graduate of Amherst College. He was a man of sound mind and fervent piety. He is buried in the cemetery at Ridgefield, in the midst of the people whom he so faithfully served.

After the dismission of Mr. Clark the pulpit was supplied by various clergymen until the fall of 1865, when the Rev. Samuel G. Coe, then recently dismissed from the First Congregational Church in Danbury,

Conn., removed to Ridgefield as a place of residence. He was invited to supply the pulpit, and soon after received a unanimous call to settle. He, however, preferred to labor with them without being formally installed. His wishes in this respect were acceded to, and he continued to serve the church until the autumn of 1868, when failing health induced him to give up active pastoral work.

Mr. Coe was a graduate of Yale College, of Yale Law School, and of Yale Theological Seminary. He was a clear thinker and an earnest and eloquent preacher. He died on the 7th of December, 1869, universally lamented.

The Rev. Pliny S. Boyd was called by the church and society to settle. He accepted the call, and was installed May 11, 1869. Mr. Boyd was dismissed July 1, 1871, and soon after was settled over the congrega- tional Church of Amesbury, Mass.

The church was supplied with regular preaching by various clergymen until Feb. 1, 1872, when the Rev. Daniel W. Teller was called to become the acting pastor of the church by unanimous vote. Three years later he was invited to be formally settled over the church, but preferred serving, as he had already done, as acting pastor. He is still serving the church in that capacity. The church at present has two hundred and twenty-five members,-males, eighty- three; females, one hundred and forty-two.

CHURCHI EDIFICES.

The first house used for religious meetings by the Congregationalists was a small building standing nearly in front of the residence of Miss Mary Haw- ley. It was used also as a school-house and as a place at which to transact town business previous to the erection of the town-house.

On the 19th of December, 1723, the following vote was passed in town-meeting :

" Voted unanimously that a meeting house shall be built.

" Test. THOMAS HAWLEY, " Register."

" At the meeting above said, it was voted unanimously that the mag- nitude and proportion of the Meeting-house above said shall be thirty- four feet wide; on the ground forty feet long, and twenty-eight feet between the sill and the plate.

" Test. THOMAS HAWLEY, " Register."

This house stood immediately east of the present building or where the road now passes it.

In the year 1765 the building of the present house began for the first time to be scriously considered, as will appear from the following minutes :

" Dec 25th 1765. Adjonrned to Jany 1st 1766. The Meeting Resolved (5-6th) to Build a New Meeting House within ye Limits of this Society ; & appointed W. L ; S. 0; B.

"Dec 18th 1783. Benjn Smith & Capt David Olmsted were chosen Com- mittee men in addition to ye Comtce cliosen in May 1771 to superintend ye Building of the Meeting Ilouse in said Society."

The house was not completed until the early part of the year 1800.

The steeple at first crected above the church was observed, after a few years, to be leaning towards the main building. In the year 1815 the following call for a society's meeting was issued :

" Notice is hereby given that a meeting of the Presbyterian Society in the first Society in Ridgefield will be holden at the Meeting llouse on the 13th day of Oct at 1 Oclock in the P.M. for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of taking down the Steeplo of said House and of making provision for necessary repairs.

The steeple was deemed unsafe and therefore taken down, and two years afterwards, in the year 1817, the present one was erected.

In the first attempt to set up the new steeple an ae- 43

cident occurred which was attended with great danger to all who were present. The posts were nearly in place, when the iron hook to which the pulleys were attached broke, and the whole framework fell to the ground. The only damage sustained was the break- ing of one of the posts. This was spliced by iron bands, and the next day it was set tip and secured.

The present church building was altered and re- paired in 1833, when the whole inside work, including galleries and pulpit, was taken out and the interior so arranged as to present the appearance of an entirely new house.

The church, thus repaired, was renewedly dedicated to God in the month of June, 1834. The dedication sermon was preached by Rev. Joel Mann, from Hag- gai ii. 9: "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts."

The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was adminis- tered on this occasion. The services were solemn, and were rendered peculiarly interesting by the pres- ence of the venerable and Rev. Samuel Goodrich, the former beloved pastor of the church, who was provi- dentially present and assisted in the services.

In the summer of 1841 the exterior of the edifice was thoroughly repaired, and several important addi- tions and alterations were made. Subsequently a new bell, a new pulpit and its surroundings, and an organ have added their attractions to this more than centenary building, still a work of strength and giving promise of a long future as a sanctuary of the Most High.

HISTORY OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH.

The foundation of the Episcopal Church in Ridge- field was laid by the Rev. Samuel Johnson, of Strat- ford, the first elergyman of the ehureh in Connecti- cut, who preached here occasionally for several years and was instrumental in bringing several families into the church. He began his services here about 1725. He was suceeeded by the two brothers, Henry Caner, of Fairfield, and Riehard Caner, of Norwalk ; also by the Rev. John Beach, of Newtown, and Rev. James Wetmore, of Rye, who remained until about the year 1744.

In the year 1728 the Rev. Henry Caner reported several small parishes or missionary stations beyond the bounds of his proper care, one of which was Ridgefield, with twelve families.

The Rev. John Beach, missionary at Newtown, re- ported to the Society in London "that he often offi- eiated and administered the saeraments in Ridgefield, distant from his residenee about eighteen miles, where in 1735 there were nearly twenty families of very serious and religious people, who had a just es- teen of the Church of England and desired to have the opportunity of worshiping God in that way."

The Rev. Joseph Lamson, assistant to the Rev. James Wetmore, of Rye, officiated at Ridgefield in 1744, in connection with Bedford and North Castle, until his removal to Fairfield, in 1747, where he still continued to serve the church in Ridgefield, as far as ean be aseertained, until 1762. He was sueeeeded by the Rev. Richard S. Clark, of Salem, about 1764, who held serviees in connection with Salem and Ridgebury.

In the year 1768 the Rev. Epenetus Townsend took the charge of serviees in Ridgefield, in connection with Salem and Ridgebury, and so continued until 1776, when, after the Deelaration of Independence, he left, and was appointed ehaplain to one of the loyal bat- talions then stationed in New York, and in 1779 the battalion was ordered to Halifax, Nova Seotia. He embarked from New York, with his wife and five chil- dren, in one of the vessels. A severe storm arose soon after leaving New York, and the vessel in which he embarked was foundered in Boston Bay, and every soul on board perished.

All of the elergy of the church who ministered here previous to the American Revolution were mission- aries of the "Society (in England) for the Propaga- tion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts," and received annual stipend towards their maintenance. The Rev. Mr. Townsend, as well as other missionaries, received an annuity of twenty pounds sterling in addition to the tax raised among his people for his support.

As far as ascertained, an interval of about thirteen years passed by before the resumption of regular ser- vices by a elergyman of the church.

".The following, among others, are from the records of the town of Ridgefield :

The Rev. David Perry was the first settled minister of the church after the Revolution, and entered upon his charge in September, 1789, having been ordained by Bishop Seabury, Sept. 22, 1789, to deacon's orders, and to priest's orders on the 16th of October follow- ing.

The following is copied from the church records:

" At a meeting of the First Episcopal Society holden at the Town Ilouse in Ridgefield by adjournment on the first Monday in August, 1789, " Voted, That Doct. David Perry receive Iloly Orders for this Society."

The first church edifiee ereeted here for Episcopal worship was about 1740, upon a spot in the Town Street which was granted by the proprietors of the town at a meeting held Jan. 4, 1739, and was situated direetly in front of what was ealled the Sturtevant lot, and bounded within three feet of said lot; the space granted was thirty-six feet north and south, and twenty-six feet east and west, its location being a little south of the present chureh lot.

The following artiele, in reference to the grant, is from the Ridgefield town reeords:

" Whereas, at a Proprietor's Meeting January 4th 1740, did by a major vote, order and empower us the subscribers, to view and look a spot or place of ground that may be convenient and suitable to build and erect

This building remained until after the Revolution- ary war. During the war it was taken by a commis- sary of the American army as a building in which to deposit the public stores. In April, 1777, the build- ing was set on fire by the British forees in their retreat from Danbury. Though not consumed, it was rendered unfit for use as a place of publie worship.

In June, 1784, at a meeting of those friendly to the Church of England, it was decmed advisable to tear down the old building and build a new one.

The following is the notice for said meeting :

" To ALEXANDER RESSEGUIE, of Ridgefield in Fairfield County, Greeting.

" By authority of the Stato of Connecticut ; yon aro hereby required to notify and warn all the inhabitants living within the limits of the First Society in Ridgefield, that are professors of the Church of England, to meet and hold a Society meeting at the Church in said Society, on the 28th day of instant, June, at 3 o'clock, after noon, (it being the place of worship for said professors,) for the purpose of choosing Society officers, repairing the church, hiring some person to perform Divino Service in said Episcopal Society, granting a tax for these purposes, and any other business proper for said meeting to do or act. By order of n8-

" Justice of Peace.

" Principal Inhabitants.

" RIDGEFIELD, June 19, 1784."

The meeting was held according to notice, and it was voted not to repair the old church, to hire a per- son to perform divine service for four months, and to pay ten pounds by way of tax on the list of the year 1783 for the purpose of paying for this and other society charges.

At a meeting held on the 28th day of October, 1784, it was voted to pull down the old church and build a new one, forty feet long, thirty feet wide, and eighteen-feet posts, a little south of the old one, and on the ground formerly granted by the town for that purpose :

Voted, To pay a tax of one shilling on the pound on the list of the year 1784, by the first day of April, 1785, for the purpose of erecting a new . church.

" Voted, That Benjamin Iloyt, Ezekiel Wilson, Thaddeus Sturges, and Jonathan Whitlock be a committee to conduct the pulling down and dis- posing of the old church, and to manago and carry on the building of a new one."

In the mean time, Lieut. Benjamin Smith donated a piece of ground on which to ereet a new church, the deed to which was executed in the year following, and

bearing date Sept. 20, 1785. The plot thus deeded was on the northeast corner of his homestead, adjoining the Town Street, and which now comprises the yard in front of the present church. The ground in size was seventy-three feet in length north and south, and forty-three feet wide east and west, and bounded east by the Town Street, north by Nathan Dauchy's land, and south and west by his own land. The conditions were that it should be forever appropriated to the use of said church.

At a meeting held at the house of Capt. Vivus Dauchy, on the 16th day of December, 1784, it was

" Voted, To reconsider the appointment of the Committee made at The meeting held on the 28th day of October; and that Benjamin Hoyt aud Ezekiel Wilson constitute the Committee to carry on the building of said church.

" Voted, That the said building shall stand at the north east corner of tho Sturtevant lot so called, adjoining the Town Street, in The First So- ciety in Ridgefield, on a picco of ground given by Benjamin Smith for that purpose.

" Voted, That the church shall not exceed forty-two feet in length ; and that the width and height be in proportion, according to the judgment of the Committee."

The church was subsequently creeted on said land, and the size adopted was forty-four feet in length and thirty-two feet in width, the ends facing north and south, with a door ou the south and east sides, but without a steeple. A gallery was placed in the south end of the church.

The projeet of building immediately following the Revolutionary war, when the effort in raising means was difficult from the impoverishment of the people generally in consequence of the war, it was not with- out struggles, financially and otherwise, that the pro- cess of rebuilding was carried forward, and that by slow degrees through a series of years, until it was finally accomplished, for the resources of the parish were limited.
