LITCHFIELD (Continued). CIVIL AND MILITARY.


Incorporation of the Town-First Town Officers Elected-Representatives from 1740-1882-Military History.


UNDER the original grant this section was called Bantam, and was incorporated as the town of Litch- field in 1724. The record of what appears to be the first town-meeting has no date. At this meeting a committee, consisting of John Buel and Nathaniel Smith, was appointed to hire a minister.

LITCHFIELD.


"The first meeting for the choice of town officers was held Dec. 1721, and resulted as follows: John Marsh, town clerk ; John Buel, Nathaniel Hosford, John Marsh, selectmen ; William Goodrich, constable and collector ; Benjamin Gibbs and Thomas Lec, surveyors ; Eleazor Strong and Samuel Root, fence- viewers ; Daniel Culver, hayward; Joseph Bird, col- lector of minister's rate.


"The only person 'admitted an inhabitant' at this meeting was Mr. Joseph Kilbourn, from Wethers- field, who had recently purchased one-thirtieth part of the township,-being the original rights of Messrs. Mann and Peet.


"On the 6th of February, 1721-22, Messrs. Buel and Marsh were voted 'the use of the stream of Bantam River and thirty acres of land,' on condition that they would erect a grist-mill and keep the same in order ; and Messrs. Jacob Griswold, William Good- rich, and Benjamin Gibbs were designated to lay out the land for their use.


"On the 8th of the ensuing May, Messrs. Buel, Marsh, Smith, and Hosford were appointed a com- mittee, and fully empowered by the town to negotiate a settlement of the boundary line between Litchfield and Waterbury with a committee appointed by the proprietors of the latter town. At the same time Messrs. Buel and Marsh were directed to petition the General Assembly, on the town's behalf, 'for liberty to set up a church and society in Litchfield.'


" It had been one of the conditions of the several deeds of conveyance to the original proprictors, that the grantees or their sons should build a tenantable house on each home-lot, or division, not less than sixteen feet square, and personally inhabit the same by the last day of May, 1721, and for three years en- suing ; and no one was permitted 'to leave or dispose of his share for five years thereafter, without the con- sent of the first planters.' This was a wise provision, growing out of the dependent and exposed condition of a settlement in the wilderness. Not only was cach individual purchaser expected to encourage the settle- ment by his personal presence and labors, but his assistance in planning and executing the various pro- jects designed for the promotion of the public welfare was deemed indispensable. His proprietorship in these ' western lands' was no sinecure, resorted to for purposes of speculation. Ile must bear his full share of the burthens and perils incident to the life of a pioneer. For divers reasons, several of the first pur- chasers, as has been intimated, failed to comply with these terms. On the 8th of June, 1722, in general town-meeting, it was voted that the following persons had 'forfeited their rights to lands in Litchfield by not performing what they were obliged to in the articles of the settlement mentioned in the grand deed,'-viz., Timothy Seymour, Timothy Stanley, Isaac Judson, Jacob Gibbs, John Stoddard, Nath- aniel Smith, Paul Peek, John Hart, Philip Bump, Nathaniel Woodruff, Thomas Griswold, John Bald-


win, and one of Ezekiel Sandford's rights. Messrs. John Buel, Nathaniel Smith, and John Marsh were appointed a committee to negotiate with the above- named individuals, with power to 'prosccute the fore- feiture to effect,' in case the claimants should neglect or refuse to agree to the terms which might be offered them. Probably a compromise was effected with most of the delinquents. Some of them became active aud useful men in the town.


" In October of this year the freemen, by a formal vote, expressed their desire to be annexed to Hartford County. They also voted that the tax for the support of the minister and for building the meeting-house should be laid 'one-half on the rights, and the other on heads and stock.' "
