Strange as it may seem, a projeet so novel met with almost universal approbation, was adopted, and soon carried into effect. The plans agreed on were, on the north part, the place near where the first stake was set, and on the south part, on the place were Mr. Martin Rockwell's house now stands. The lot was drawn, and fell in favor of the southern place, and measures were immediately taken to remove the timber and raise the house. This was accomplished, the house covered and lighted, the floors laid, and apparent tranquillity and acquiescence on the part of the north- ern people appeared for a while to prevail. But it was not long before it became apparent that the wound, though in appearance healed, was still fester- ing, and would soon break out and become more alarm- ing in its symptoms than ever. The northern people refused to join in procuring preaching, or in any meas- ure to build up the society, and, though there was now a meeting-house, nearly one-half of the people would not enter the doors. Things continued in this situa- tion for a considerable time, and the prospects of union seemed as remote as ever. The northern people were called on for the reasons of their conduct, and for what would satisfy them. The lot they considered an unfortunate thing, which, in their desire to have some- thing done to remove the difficulties, they had inad- vertently agreed to. The direction of two committees was in their favor, and nothing but chance against them, and nothing less would satisfy them than the removal of the house north of the brook.

New actors were coming on to the stage; some of the southern people began to express their wishes that the meeting-house was north of the brook, and some were ready to join in efforts to remove it. The princi- pal actors among the southern people, tired and worn out with a fruitless controversy, seemed inclined to withdraw and let others manage the business as they pleased. A vote was obtained, in the spring or summer of 1793, to remove the house north of the brook, the expense to be defrayed by tax on the society. Prepara- tions were accordingly made to accomplish this ob- ject. The plan ndopted, after due consultation and advice, was to remove the house, standing, during the winter season with oxen. Preparations were accord- ingly made to perform this Quixotic enterprise, and

in the month of February, 1794, the attempt was made. About one hundred and fifty pair of oxen were collected, and after the necessary preparation were fastened to the house, and it began to move ma- jestically forward; but, there being a small descent soon to pass, it was found, contrary to the confident expectations of Capt. Watson, the man employed to direct and superintend the moving, that it would move forward with rapidity without being drawn, and as, in order to proceed, the descent necessary to pass was much greater, it was judged utterly impracticable to proceed, and after two days' labor, the house having been removed about thirty rods, the project was for the present abandoned. In the autumn following another attempt was made, at the expense of sub- scribers, to remove the house with vessel machinery, -pulleys and ropes; but after a trial this plan was also found to be attended with insuperable difficulties. Tired, worn out, and frustrated with these fruitless projects, the actors in this business seemed disposed to sit down and count the cost. The delusions of party feeling and obstinacy seemed in a measure to vanish, and sober reason and consideration to resume their influence, and they were led to inquire whether the object they were with so much perplexity and ex- pense pursuing could be accomplished, and, provided it could, whether the southern people generally would unite with them in building up the society. Neither of these questions conld be affirmatively answered with correctness. It was therefore, after due cousulta- tion, agreed to open a negotiation with the southern people, in order to effect a settlement of the contro- versy. The overtures submitted were that the house should be placed on the nearest suitable place to where it then was, and the expense incurred in the attempt to move defrayed by the society. A meeting was called, the agreement consummated, and the house re- moved to the place where it now stands, and then, after an unhappy controversy of fourteen years, peace and union were restored, and all seemed disposed to join their efforts and aid in building up the society. Measures were immediately adopted to procure preach- ing. Dr. Jonathan Edwards, who had been recently dismissed from a parish in New Haven, was applied to, and commenced preaching here about the 1st of September, 1795. After he had been with the people a while they unanimously gave him a call to settle, and voted him a salary of one hundred pounds per annum. He accepted the call, and was installed Dec. 30, 1795. Previous to his settlement a fund was raised by subscription sufficient to pay the salary for three years. The ministerial lot of sixty acres granted by the proprietors to the first orthodox min- ister would by the terms of the grant have become the property of Dr. Edwards, but he agreed to acquit his right to said lot to the society, which was accord- ingly done. In the year 1797 the society agreed to sell this lot and lease the parsonage-lot of one hun- dred acres on a long lease, the principal sum for which

said lands sold to be a perpetual fund towards the payment of the yearly ministerial salary. These lots were disposed of at auction. The parsonage-lot sold for $15.57 per acre, amounting to $1553.57; the ministerial lot for $12.21 per acre, amounting to $732.60; total, $2286.17, the annual interest of which is $137.17.

The proprietors, at the time they ceded the undivided land to the town, as previously stated, for the support of schools, also ceded such part of the original ten- rod highways as had not been previously exchanged for roads to the town; and at a town-meeting held Sept. 21, 1795, the town voted to sell such part of said highways as should not be wanted to exchange for roads then laid out, together with that part of the parade-lot, so called, which was not wanted for a bury- ing-place, and that the principal sum for which said lands sold constitute a fund for the support of the gospel ministry, the annual interest of which to be divided annually to the several denominations accord- ing to their respective lists. The amount for which these lands sold was $1678, the annual interest of which is $100.68. Of this sum the Congregational society, on an average, draws about $54, which, added to the avails of the public lands, as before stated,-viz., $137.17,-amounts to $191.17. In addition to this amount, the society have $100 in the Phoenix Bank, Hartford, which was a grant from the State to the various religious societies for the support of the gos- pel ; so that the permanent funds amount annually to $197.17. For a more particular account of the eccle- siastical society, church, etc., reference may be had to the society and church records.

During the unhappy and protracted controversy re- specting the location of the meeting-house, a consider- able number of the people, principally in the north- ern and eastern sections of the town, embraced the Baptist persuasion. When they first began to hold meetings, one Mr. Dunlap, who then resided in Mas- sachusetts, contiguous to Colebrook, was their preacher, other elders of that denomination occasionally sup- plying them, and in 1795 Elder Rufus Babcock was ordained their pastor, his church and congregation being composed of people in Colebrook, Norfolk, and Sandisfield, making a respectable congregation. Soon after Mr. Babcock's settlement a meeting-house was built. In 1828, Mr. Babcock, having arrived to the age of seventy years, resigned his pastoral office, and was succeeded by Elder Thomas Larkum.

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

Colebrook, the last settled town in the State of Connecticut, was surveyed and laid out by the seventy- nine original proprietors, inhabitants of the town of Windsor, Conn., in 1760; and the first permanent settlements were made in 1765 and 1766.

Sixty acres were reserved and laid out as a minis- terial lot, to be the property of the first orthodox minister settled or ordained in the town; and one

hundred acres as a parsonage for the use of the min- istry. The first minister, Rev. Dr. Edwards, relin- quished his right in the sixty acres, and this with the hundred acres were sold for two thousand two hun- dred and eighty-six dollars; this sum to constitute a perpetual fund, the annual interest to be applied towards the payment of the yearly ministerial salary. This fund has been increased by the avails of other lands, granted by the town to the several denomina- tions, according to their respective lists. Also by the grant of one hundred dollars from the State to the various religious societies, for the support of the gospel. In addition to this, gifts and bequests have been received from Mr. Luman Barber, Mrs. Lucretia Hotchkiss, and Mrs. Lucia B. Mitchell, amounting to two hundred and ninety dollars.

The first ecclesiastical society was organized in 1786. Previous to this the society business had been transacted in town-meeting. In 1780 the town voted to apply to the County Court for a committee to set a stake for a meeting-house. The location designated was not satisfactory, and after repeated attempts to effect a compromise, it was not until 1794 that it found a permanent resting-place and was dedicated to the worship of God. It was placed on the ground where Reuben Rockwell's house now stands, and re- mained there until 1842, when the church building now occupied was erected.

The Congregational Church was organized in 1795, with the following members: Daniel and Elizabeth Alcox, Anna Rockwell Bass, Epaphras and Margaret Bidwell, Samuel and Wealthy Allen, John Burr, Isaac and Elizabeth Carrier, Margaret Chamberlain, Margaret Eno, Hannah Mather, Elijah Rockwell, Lucy Wright Rockwell, Hepzibah Pratt Rockwell, Nathan and Elizabeth Russell, Roger Stillman, Me- hitabel Hurd Stillman, and Moses and Thankful Norton Wright.

The following were received in 1798 : Huldah Filly, Hepzibah Merrill, Jemima Seymour, and Mrs. Sarah Wakefield.

In 1799 the following were admitted: Lucy IIart, Roger Mather, Mary Mather, Samuel Mills, Kezia (Filly) Mills, Ebenezer North, Jerusha (Cowles) North, Abijah Northaway, Olive (Cowles) Northa- way, Hezekiah Owen, Mrs. Hezekiah Owen, Elijah Pettibone, Mrs. Elijah Pettibone, Reuben Rockwell, Alpha Rockwell, Lucy Rockwell, Jr., Martin Rock- well, Mary (Burrell) Rockwell, Betsey Russell, Elisha Sage, Mrs. Elizabeth (Chamberlain) Sage, Bildad Seymour, Truman Seymour, Mehitabel (Chamber- lain) Seymour, Appleton Stillman, Sarah (Chappel) Stillman, Clarissa Stillman, Amos Tolles, Mrs. Amos Tolles, Susan Tuttle, Chloe Alcox, Polly Norton, Noah Merrill, Abigail Phillips, Elizabeth Phelps, Polly Taylor, Abigail (Stanton) Lee.

Many of the early settlers of the town had been trained under the ministry of Rev. Timothy Edwards, and his grandson, Rev. Jonathan Edwards, was in-

stalled as their first pastor in December, 1795. He remained until 1799, when he was dismissed to become president of Union College.

He was succeeded by Rev. Chauncey Lee, a native of Salisbury, Conn. The first twenty-eight years of the present century, the period of Dr. Lee's ministry, was probably the most prosperous in the history of the town. There were large families of the Puritan stock, and many accessions to the church. One hun- dred and five was the result of a powerful religious revival which occurred in 1815. Dr. Lee was dis- missed in 1828, and became pastor of the church in Marlborough, Conn. He spent the last years of his life with his daughter, in Guilford, N. Y.

Rev. Azariah Clark was installed in 1830. He was a native of Southampton, Mass., and had been pastor of a church in Canaan, N. Y. His ministry in Cole- brook was terminated by his death in October, 1832.

In March, 1833, Rev. Edward R. Tyler assumed the pastoral care of the church. He was dismissed in 1836 to engage in the anti-slavery cause, in which he labored earnestly for several years ; after which he removed to New Haven, Conn., and became editor of the New Englander. He died not far from 1850.

Rev. Alfred E. Ives, of New Haven, was installed in 1838. He remained ten years, was dismissed in 1848, and has since that time been pastor in Deerfield, Mass., and Castine, Me.

Rev. Archibald Geikie was engaged in 1854, and, though not installed, performed all the dutics de- volving upon a pastor. He was a native of Edin- burgh, Scotland, and settled in Toronto, Canada, before his engagement in Colebrook. He left in 1863, and was for a time in East Granville, Mass. He died in 1869, at the home of his daughter, in Canaan, Conn.

Rev. Henry A. Russell became stated supply in 1868, and remained until May 1, 1877, when he re- moved to Mooers, N. Y.

Rev. Ira Pettibone, of Winchester, supplied the pulpit the remainder of the year 1877.

Previous to the organization of the Methodist Church there had been a branch of the Congregational Church estab- lished, and preaching four Sabbaths each year was furnished by the church at Colebrook. A meeting- house was built about 1810 by Congregationalists, Baptists, and Methodists, and called the Union Meet- ing-House, and occupied by each as they supplied preaching. The Methodists built a church about 1833, and have a flourishing society at the present time.
