"1780, Salisbury, July 9th .- Baptized Harriet, daughter of Josiah Hewley and Hannah, his wife; Mary, daughter of Timothy Chitenden and Rebecca, his wife; Giles Bird, son of Giles Hall and Electa, his wife. "1783, June 22 .- Baptized Ursula, daughter of Jacob Bogardus and Patience, hia wife."

This register, showing official acts performed in Litchfield, Canaan, Salisbury, Norfolk, and Cornwall, from 1773 to 1785, is a noble attestation, of the mis- sionary spirit of this excellent clergyman, while these laborious services seem in one sense a graceful recog- nition of the establishment of the Great Barrington parish by the Rev. Mr. Davies years before. And this kind oversight on the part of the few clergymen in this section of the State was shown by occasional ministrations rendered by the Rev. Ashbel Baldwin, of Litehfield, the Rev. Daniel Burhans, of Newtown, and the Rev. Truman Marsh, of Litchfield. A ser- vice held in this town by the Rev. Mr. Baldwin is thus noticed in the Litchfield Monitor, Vol. IV., No. 191 :

" Saliebury, Sept. 6, 1788 .- Died in this town, on the 2d fost., Mr. George Marsh, In the sixty-third year of his ege. On the 4th his funeral rites were performed, and a eermon adapted to the occasion was preached by the Rev. Ashbel Baldwin, of Litchfield."

Other notices of these visits from the neighboring clergy might, doubtless, be found on a further exani- nation of the files of this venerable repository of town and county items.

Land was purchased for parish use in 1792, and from this time for a number of years, lay reading was regularly kept up by Capt. Timothy Chittenden. At the convention of the diocese in 1801, Capt. Chitten- den was in attendence as a delegate, and at the elerical convocation held at the same place and time the Rev. Caleb Child, of Massachusetts, who appears to have been for a time in charge of this parish, though only in deacon's orders, was tried, on a deposition of Mr. Beriah Chittenden, of Salisbury, for doctrinal defec- tion and error in life, and was deposed from the ministry.

At the convention in 1808 the committee "np- pointed to ascertain the bounds of the several cures in the diocese" report "Salisbury and Canaan" as vacant, thus recognizing the continued existence of the parish, which had doubtless suffered bitterly in consequence of ministerial unfaithfulness, succeeded by utter want of pastoral care. The following year

Rev. Sturges Gilbert, who had himself but lately been admitted to the diaconate, was assigned to the care of the "churches in Kent, Sharon, and Salisbury," and reported from his associated parishes to the con- vention of 1809 forty baptisms and three funerals. In later reports the name of Salisbury is dropped, and nothing more appears of this "little flock" till the mention of their visitation by the Rev. Aaron Humphreys, missionary of the Society for the Promo- tion of Christian Knowledge, appended to the con- vention journal of 1820. Mr. Humphrey, after stat- ing that he had "visited in his missionary capacity Canaan and Salisbury," procceds as follows :

" At Salisbury there are also a few Episcopaliaos, destitute of the means of procuring the services of a clergynian and deprived of the regular ad- ministration of the ordinauces of the gospel. The aid of the society ex- tended to these congregations might be productive of great usefulness."

A brighter day had dawned for the church in this town. The appointment of the Rev. George B. An- drews to the care of the "church of Sharon, Kent, and New Preston" brought into the vicinity of this struggling parish an earnest-minded and devoted mis- sionary ; and in 1823 the convention journals, long silent as to this portion of the diocese, have reference to the erection of "a new brick church," and report fifty-five families as comprised in the parish. The bishop, in announcing this and other proofs of fruitful labors, adds,-

" These exertions, 80 honorable to the church and so animating to the cause of plety, have been stimulated in no small degree by the zealous labors of the Rev. Mr. Andrewe."

At the next convention, that of 1824, held in Liteh- field, the name of Daniel Landon appears as represent- ing the parish in Salisbury. In 1824, Samnel Church, afterwards chief justice of the State, and long a prominent member of St. Michael's Church, Litch- field, was associated with Mr. Daniel Landon as deputies to the convention ; the Rev. Stephen Beach is reported as " missionary at Salisbury and parts ad- jacent," and sixteen is given as the number confirmed at the first Episcopal visitation since the days of Bishop Scabury. In his annual address the bishop thus notices the completion of the church :

" During my visit to the parish of Sallsbury, on the 15th of September last, I consecrated the new church in that place by the unme of St. John's Church. This edifice is constructed of brick, in the Gothic alyle of archi- lecture. It is neatly furnished, and Its accommodations are judiciously arranged. The expense of Its erection, though pressing heavily on in- dividuals, has been borne with cheerfulness, and It is trusted that no one feels linpoverished by his oxortions. The zeal ond liberallty which this parish has evinced afford an encouraging promise of Its future prus- perity."

The Rev. Mr. Beach reports to this convention 55 families, 18 communicants, 4 marriages, 35 Sunday- school scholars, 7 infant and 6 adult baptisms, and 7 funerals, as the summary of the year's work.

Rev. Stephen Beach resigned the rectorship in the year 1833. Rev. Lucius M. Purdy was called to sue- eecd him, and continued in his office until May, 1837. From 1837 to 1846 there were four brief pastorates, of the Rev. C. W. Bradley, Rev. S. T. Carpenter, Rev.

HISTORY OF LITCHFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT.

David L. Dains, and Rev. William Warland. Rev. George H. Nichols became the rector in April, 1846, and remained until Easter, 1854. Rev. Revel H. Tuttle succeeded him the same year, and remained five years. He was followed by Rev. Samuel F. Jar- vis, who was rector for three years and a half. Dur- ing his ministry the parish church was altered and much improved. Rev. Jonathan A. Wainwright, M.D., became rector on March 29, 1863, resigning in the fall of 1871, when he was succeeded by the pres- ent incumbent, Rev. William Aller Johnson.

From the accession of Rev. Mr. Beach, in 1824, to the beginning of the rectorship of Rev. J. A. Wain- wright, in 1863, 247 persons were baptized and 156 were confirmed, the average number of communi- cants reported being 50. During Mr. Wainwright's rectorship 96 persons were baptized and 58 confirmed, the communicants numbering over 70.

In October, 1874, Trinity church, Lime Rock, a costly and beautiful edifice, was opened within the old limits of the parish, and now organized as a sep- arate parish, St. Jolin's losing by this friendly divi- sion a large number of the families who had hitherto worshiped in Salisbury.

Since the close of Mr. Wainwright's rectorship there have been 141 baptisms and 51 confirmations, the communicants last reported being 68.

TRINITY CHURCH, LIME ROCK.#

The parish of Trinity Church, Lime Rock, was the natural outgrowth of the Episcopal Church in the old parish of St. John's, Salisbury. The distance from the old church in Salisbury was long felt to be a great burden by those people of Lime Rock who, week after week, toiled through mud and snow to at- tend the worship of the house of God. Occasional services held in the village fostered a desire long en- tertained of having a church of their own close at hand. This desire took definite shape in the spring of 1873, when means were procured, chiefly through the liberality of the Hon. William H. Barnum, to justify the undertaking. Accordingly, on the 10th of July the corner-stone of the present handsome edifice was laid by the Right Rev. John Williams, D.D., Bishop of Connecticut, assisted by a number of cler- gymen, including the rector of the parish (the Rev. William A. Johnson).

The building, which was constructed of a light brown stone from plans by an architect from New York, was completed during the fall of the following year, and was consecrated, by the name of Trinity Church, to the worship of Almighty God, according to the rites of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, on the 5th of November, 1874, by the same bishop who laid the corner-stone.

In order that a rector might be called to the charge of the new church, it was necessary to have a parish

organization separate from the parish of St. John's, Salisbury. This was effected on May 3, 1875, the original incorporators being as follows : William H. Barnum, W. A. Crowell, J. H. Hurlbut, C. H. Row- ley, J. H. Barnum, G. Wiesing, G. S. Burrall, J. L. Richardson, J. T. Levi, M. B. Richardson, W. A. Dean, L. Astrum, F. Hanger, H. Arnold, R. Winter- bottom, G. Thorpe, S. P. Ensign, L. A. Bulman. In the meanwhile regular services were maintained by the Rev. A. S. Clarke and other clergymen until the beginning of 1876, when a call to the rectorship was extended to the Rev. Millidge Walker, and was ac- cepted by him, the charge being assumed on the 27th of February. Since that time no changes have been made, the work of the church has prospered in the community, and now, after a lapse of five years from the time when the present rector took charge, the list of communicants has been doubled.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, LAKEVILLE.+

The first Methodist preacher who visited the town of Salisbury was Samuel Q. Talhot, who held meet- ings here in the fall of 1788. The following year, in the month of June, the first class was formed at Ore Hill. In the same year a society was organized by John Bloodgood, and connected with Columbia Cir- cuit, on which John Bloodgood and Samuel Wigton were the traveling preachers.

The circuit preachers visited the place and gave week evening lectures, generally in private houses, once in four weeks. The number of original mem- bers and their names are now unknown. The society seems to have been attached to Columbia or Dutchess Circuit until the Rhinebeck Circuit was formed in 1816, when it was connected with that. In the latter year (1816) the church at Lakeville was built, and dedicated to the worship of Almighty God by Na- than Bangs, D.D., then presiding elder of the Rhine- beck District. The church edifice was erected princi- pally through the efforts of John Brimsmode, Eli- akim Smith, Abiathar Wolcott, Josiah Woodworth, and Nathaniel Everts. The house of the latter had long been the preaching place of the society. In 1838 the church was repaired, modernized, and pewed, and from that time the society raised money to meet its current expenses by the annual renting of the pews. In 1869 the church was thoroughly renovated and enlarged by the addition of a vestibule at a total cost of five thousand two hundred dollars. The par- sonage was built in 1832.

This society has raised up several ministers of the gospel ; among them, E. S. Janes, D.D., elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1844; Edwin Janes, a twin-brother of the former; Ezekiel Canfield, of the New York Conference; Daniel Smith, of the New York Conference; and Henry Smith, his brother, now of the Troy Conference.

. The society is at present (1880) in a flourishing condition. It numbers one hundred and eighty full members, and eighteen probationers.

There is a Methodist Church in Lime Rock, but we have been unable to secure its history. It is supplied by the resident pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Falls Village. There is also a flourishing Roman Catholic Church located at Lakeville.

First Proprietors' Meeting-Iocorporation of the Town -- The First Town- Meeting-Officers Elected-Documentary-Origin of the Name of Town -Representatives from 1757 to 1SSI-Military History.

IN May, 1733, Nathaniel Stanley, Esq., and Capt. John Marsh were appointed by the General Court to take in subscriptions for the lands in township M, and the avails of the sales were to be appropriated for the support of schools in such towns as had before been settled. Probably nothing was ever done under this appointment. But at the October session of the Assembly (then called the General Court), in the year 1737, the lands in this town were ordered to be sold at Hartford on the third Wednesday of May, 1738, with a reservation of former grants. For this purpose the lands were divided into twenty-five rights. One of these rights was appropriated to the first settled minister ; one for the use of the ministry forever, settled according to the constitution and or- der of the churches established by law in this colony ; and one for the support of schools. Here is the origin of the ministerial and school funds of the town. The remaining rights were purchased by individual propri- etors. The original proprietors were Thomas Lamb, Thomas Fitch (afterwards Governor of the colony), Christopher Dutcher, Elias Reed, John Beebe, James Beebe, Daniel Edwards, Joseph Tuttle, David Allen, George White, Joshua White, Titus Brown, Edward Phelps, Thomas Pierce, Thomas Newcomb, Benjamin White, Eleazar Whittlesey, Richard Seymour, Robert Walker, and Thomas Norton.

HISTORY OF LITCHFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT.

after it was located, and before the charter was given, as town M. It is said to have taken its name from an early settler named Salisbury. Rev. J. W. Cross- man, in a discourse delivered in 1803, says, "It is currently reported, and by good authority, that this Mr. Salisbury, after moving from here, had an unruly servant girl who had run away from him; that he went after her, bound her with a rope, and tied her to his horse; then rode so as to pull her down, and drawed her in such a cruel manner that she died in consequence of the abuse. The matter was taken up in the State of New York, and he, then in old age, was sentenced by the court to be hung when he should be a hundred years old. About four years ago he arrived to this age. A reprieve was granted him for a certain time, and if he has not died lately he is liv- ing to this day." Hon. Samuel Church, in an address delivered Oct. 20, 1844, in referring to this, says, "There is much reason to doubt the authenticity of this tradition ; some parts of it are incredible, and I am disposed to reject it altogether."

This town was originally attached to the county of New Haven, and remained a part of that county until the county of Litchfield was constituted in 1751.
