Soon after the dismissal of Pastor Allen, the Reverend Nathan Birdseye was ordained to the pastoral office, which he filled from 1742 until 1758. He was followed in 1760 by Reverend Noah Williston, who died here, as the pastor, in 1811. His pastorate was one of the longest and most eventful in the history of the church. In 1752 the meeting house, which had been placed in repair six years before, was broken by a storm, and was repaired by means of a special tax. In 1764 a steeple was built, in which a bell was placed in 1774. Up to that time the people were assembled by the beating of a drum on the village green.
In the troublous times of the revolution Mr. Williston was a staunch patriot, and had incurred the ill-will of some of his tory neighbors. Hence when the British invaded the town, in 1779, and while they were resting on the green, after their march from Savin Rock, some British troops were led to his house for the purpose of arresting him- In attempting to escape to the woods, in the rear of his house, Mr. Williston broke his leg while jumping over the fence, and was at the

mercy of his enemies. Through the intervention of Adjutant Camp- bell his life was spared, and his wounds received proper attention. Mr. Williston ever afterward had the highest estimate of the character of Adjutant Campbell, and lived to be much respected by all the com- munity.
Since his death the successive pastors have been: Reverend Stephen W. Stebbins, settled June, 1815, died August 15th, 1843; Ed- ward Wright, called January 28th, 1843, died October 23d, 1852; Hub- bard Beebe, settled December 6th, 1854, dismissed January 4th, 1856; Erastus Colton, supply 1856-8; George Andrew Bryan, settled Septem- ber, 1858, dismissed October 5th, 1869; George Sherwood Dickerman, settled December Sth, 1870, dismissed December 31st, 1873; William E. Brooks, became the stated supply in April, 1874, and after one year was settled as the pastor, and was dismissed October 4th, 1880; Nor. man J. Squires, settled as the pastor January 1st, 1881, and has since acceptably labored for the upbuilding of the church. When he be- came pastor the church had 225 members. The number belonging in 1890 was 318.
In 1852 the old meeting house, which stood southwest of the pres- ent one, was taken down, and the second meeting house of the society occupied. The latter was burned August 29th, 1859, and the present edifice was erected and dedicated July 12th, 1860. Its original cost was $10,000. Seven years later an organ costing $2,300 was supplied. A new bell was provided in 1883, and in 1885 the building was fres- coed and otherwise improved at an outlay of $1,900. The latest ad- dition to the church property was made in 1891, when a parish house costing $6,000 was built. It contains reception rooms, parlors and a library.
The parish had for more than a century the use of a house for a parsonage which stood on the west side of the green, in which many famous church councils were held. In one of its rooms the Connecti- cut Missionary Society was formed in the early part of the century. In 1857 the house was taken down, but before this was done a fare- well meeting of many Congregational ministers was held there, on the 3d of April that year. In 1847 another parsonage was secured, north of the old one, which was now used for a select school. For that purpose it was occupied until 1850, when Mrs. Wright removed her school to a new building on Oak hill, where it was successfully continued a number of years as Oak Hill Ladies' Seminary, an insti- tution which reflected credit upon the town.
Among the deacons of the church have been the following: Thomas Trowbridge, Thomas Stevens, Samuel Downs, John Benham, Deliver- ance Painter, all before the revolution; Josiah Platt, Nathaniel Smith, Bela Kellogg, Ezra Smith, Enos Smith, Daniel Moulthrop, Sidney Pardee, William H. Talmadge,* Albert Candee, Samuel L. Smith,

Christ Church (Protestant Episcopal), of West Haven, it is said, is the oldest in the state of Connecticut. It is an unpretentious frame building, and was probably begun in 1740. The window frames were not put in until the fall of 1742, and probably the house was not com- pleted until several years later, as there were but few churchmen in this locality and their means were limited. In the fall of 1742 a deed for the church lot was executed.
The church had its beginning in consequence of the change of views of Reverend Samuel Johnson, the first pastor of the Congrega- tional church. After being educated at Yale College, he was settled over the Congregational society in 1720, at the age of 24 years, and soon warmly attached the church to him. Shortly after becoming pastor of the church, doubts arose in his mind as to the validity of his ordination, and in company with Reverend Timothy Cutler, at that time rector of Yale College, James Wetmore, of the North Haven church, and Tutor Daniel Brown, of West Haven (who had been his classmates at Yale), all Congregationalists, he began to study up the subject of church government, reaching a conclusion, as expressed in his own words:
" It appeared plain that the Episcopal form of government was universally established by the Apostles wherever they propagated Christianity; that through the first order of the ministry, called Bishi- ops, the power of the Priesthood was to be conveyed from the great Head of the Church; and that although Presbyters preached and ad- ministered the Sacraments, yet that no act of ordination or government was for several ages allowed to be lawful, without a Bishop at the head of the Presbytery."
Great excitement followed this declaration of belief, in the summer of 1722, and Reverends Johnson and Wetmore withdrew from their churches. At the end of the school year Doctor Cutler and Tutor Brown were excused from Yale College. In November, 1722, three of them, including Mr. Johnson, sailed from Boston for England to take holy orders in the Episcopal church.
" At the time the Reverend Mr. Johnson came into the Episcopal church, and soon after, several of his parishioners, as near as can now be ascertained, ten or twelve families, and some of them the most eminently pious in the place, influenced by his example and convinced by his arguments, were persuaded to embrace Episcopacy."

the names are found those of Brown, Clark, Humphreyville, Prindle, Stevens and Thomas. For some time this eminent divine was the only Episcopal clergyman in Connecticut, and continued to preach in West Haven (though stationed at Stratford by the Society for the Prop- agation of the Gospel), about once in three months, until 1737. In 1734, Reverend Jonathan Arnold, Doctor Johnson's successor as minister of the West Haven Congregational church, also became an Episcopalian, and having returned from England after being ordained as a churchman, was stationed at West Haven, in connection with Derby and Waterbury, where he labored as a missionary of the Lon- don society until 1739, when he again sailed for England. He was succeeded by Reverend Theophilus Morris, who remained here sev- eral years, and began the building of the first portion of the church still used.
"A curious and at this day rather amusing document is preserved in the parish register, being the account of the expenses incurred in raising the frame, and other items. A large folio Bible and Prayer Book, bound in one volume, bearing the imprint ' Oxford, A. D. 1738,' given to the church at that time, was used at the lectern until a few years ago, and is now in the rector's custody, in an excellent state of preservation ; as well as a huge pewter chalice, bearing the date 1744.
" The succession of rectors from Reverend Theophilus Morris was as follows: Reverend James Lyon, 1743 to 1747; Doctor Richard Mans- field, 1749 to 1755; Ebenezer Punderson, 1755 to 1762; Solomon Palmer, 1763 to 1766; Bela Hubbard, from time to time, 1767 to 1813. Mean- while, joining with the parish of St. George's, Milford, Reverend Henry Van Dyke was in charge for one year, 1786; John Marshall for six months, in 1787; David Belding, 1788 to 1790; Calvin White, 1805 to 1807. During this period, 1767 to 1813, there appears to have been much irregularity in the ministrations of the parish, Doctor Hubbard being called upon from New Haven for services when no settled min- ister could be had by cooperation with Milford; and these difficulties bespeak the troublous times of the revolution and the stormy years succeeding, when our dear Mother Church was in danger for her very life, and the public thought-quite naturally-that to be a churchman was to be a traitor.'
After the revolution the Episcopal church in America received many accessions, and in 1784 the first diocese was formed, with Sam- uel Seabury as the bishop. To this body Christ church belonged from the beginning, coming in with other parishes formed under the care of the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." For 80 years, when these missionaries could give the church but part of their time, services were held; "when they had no preaching, the church was always open for lay-reading."

From 1814 to 1820, Reverend William Smith had charge of the parish, in connection with Milford; from 1820 to 1826, Reverend Joseph Perry, with East Haven; and from 1826 to 1830 Reverend Wil- liam T. Potter. In the latter year the parish was so weak that the church was closed, and for more than six years public services were suspended. They were resumed in 1837 and continued at long inter- vals by Reverends Stephen Jewett, Servilius Stocking, etc.
I11 1839 Reverend Alonzo B. Chapin took charge of the parish, in connection with Milford, and continued rector until 1850. When he here began his labors he found 22 families, to which he added 31 fam- ilies. The old church was repaired and decorated in his ministry.
From 1850 until 1851 the ministers were Reverends N. S. Richard- son, Henry F. M. Whitesides, and then came, in 1851-2, Reverend Gilbert B. Hayden.
" At this time the old rectory was built, the church enlarged, and the beautiful set of silver communion vessels procured. Reverend Henry Zell was next rector, 1853 to 1863; David F. Lumsden, in charge from 1863 to 1864; Gurdon S. Coit, D.D., 1864 to 1866; Oliver S. Prescott, 1866 to 1867. Under his charge the present chancel, tower and organ chamber were built, and the weekly offertory established. Reverend Jared B. Flagg, D.D., followed him, 1868 to 1869; DeWitt C. Loop, 1869 to 1871: Charles C. Adams, 1871 to 1873. In 1874 Reverend Ed- win S. Lines became rector. During his administration the parish was rehabilitated from its long unsettled condition. Storm was suc- ceeded by calm, and Christ church became firmly established and prosperous. A word of tribute is due to his untiring and loving care for the flock. His rectorship continued until October, 1879, when his resignation, in order to accept a call to St. Paul's church, New Haven, produced an affectionate regret which still lives in the hearts of the parish and people of West Haven. Under him a debt was cleared away, the church was enlarged by the present side aisle, and a fund for a new church building was begun, which amounts now to more than two thousand dollars; the spiritual growth being large and con- stant. His work was faithfully carried on by Reverend Edward W. Worthington, 1878 to 1882. Reverend Jacob Streibert succeeded him, 1882 to 1885; Reverend Everett Beeinan, 1885 to 1886. The present rector, Reverend Hobart B. Whitney, took charge of the affairs of the parish in October, 1886," and under his direction the general pros- perity continues. There are about 160 families in the parish, and the registered communicants exceed 200. The Sunday school has about the same number of members; and more than $2,500 is raised yearly for carrying on the work of the parish.
For many years Prosper Warner was the senior warden of the church, a position at present lield by David T. Welch; Ray T. Hum- phrey is the junior warden, and John T. Gill is the parish clerk.

day school, among them being the Sanctuary Chapter, the Ladies' Aid Chapter, the Missionary Chapter and the Chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, all promoting the interests of the church.
West Haven M. E. church edifice was begun in 1870. The Method- ists first in this locality worshipped with the First M. E. church in New Haven. Under the auspices of that body, missionary efforts were made, about 30 years ago, to establish a church in the village. With that view the brethren, Sylvester Smith and Russell Chapman, labored here in 1868, and succeeded in gathering a class, which had among its members Harris Eames, Stephen Mix, Edward Mix, Marshall Bassett, William A. Cross and others to the number of more than a dozen. Meetings were held in private houses-at the homes of Henry H. Richards and Mrs. Eames-and at Thompson's Hall, the preacher in 1869 being John W. Felous, an Englishman. The following years Rev- erend Charles W. Lyon was appointed to the West Haven charge, and the work of building a house of worship was begun. A lot in the eastern part of the village was donated by Isaac W. Hine and Richard Thomas, on which the frame of the present building was raised in 1870, and the lecture room completed. The main audience room of the church was not completed for dedication until 1883. Members of the other churches in the village liberally aided in providing the necessary means. A parsonage on the lot adjoining was also built in 1870. The property was valued at $10,000. A bell was placed in the steeple in 1889.
The ministers of the church have been: 1870-2, Reverend C. W. Lyon; 1873, E. D. Bray; 1874-5, W. E. Tompkinson; 1876, C. W. Lyon; 1878-9, A. H. Mead; 1880, J. B. Ayres; 1881-3, B. F. Kidder; 1884-6, Thomas E. Gilbert; 1887-8, E. L. Thorpe; 1889-90, W. C. Blakeman; 1891, B. F. Abbott.
A Sabbath school, organized in October, 1868, has been success- fully continued, having had as its superintendent for a dozen of years Stephen Mix. It numbers about 200 members.
St. Lawrence church (Roman Catholic) was built in 1876, when West Haven was connected with Milford as part of that parish. It has a pleasing appearance, and provides sittings for 300 persons. The cost was about $6,000. The church still sustains a mission relation to Milford, about 100 families residing in this part of the parish. Semi- monthly services are maintained, and the interest is increasing yearly, with prospects of soon making this an independent parish.
The Orange Congregational church was organized and known many years as the North Milford church. For more than 60 years the inhabitants in the locality of the church, at Bryan's Farms (later Or- ange Center), attended meetings at Milford. But as early as 1750 the settlers here were so numerous that a winter school was set up. In 1791 a public green was set apart, on a pleasant hill, on which, the same year, a plain meeting house, 30 by 36 feet, was built, by the con-

sent of the town of Milford, and in which winter preaching was held. The attendance and interest were so good that, after 1796, Reverend Bezaleel Pinneo, of the First Milford church, preached here every two weeks, holding these meetings several years. A number of members of the Second Milford church also lived in this locality. These united in the expression of a desire to form a separate society, at their home, and selected Samuel Treat, of the First society, and Joseph Treat, of the Second society, of Milford, to petition the general assembly to that end. That body granted the petition, and in October, 1804, incorpor- ated the "Society of North Milford." The territory included all that part of Milford north of a line drawn from the head of Oyster ereek or Oyster river, west, by the stone bridge, on the Derby road, over Weaver's brook, thence to the Housatonic, at the north end of the upper meadow. The name of the society remained North Milford un- til 1842, when, by legislative enaetment, it was altered to the " Eccle- siastieal Society of Orange."
A parish having been established, in spite of the vigorous protests of many of the old citizens of Milford, preparations were made for the organization of a church. In January, 1805, the First ehureh dis- missed 30 of its members for that purpose, and 24 withdrew from the Second church, with the same object. Accordingly, Mareh 13th, 1805, the following entered into covenant relations as the North Milford church: Robert Treat, Benedict Law, Henrietta Law, Elias Clark, Abigail Clark. Matthew Woodruff, Esther Woodruff, Jonathan Rog- ers, Elizabeth Rogers, Samuel Treat, Clarissa Treat, John Bryan, Frances Treat, Anna Treat, Rebecca Pardee, Anna Clark, Mary Woodruff, Keturah Platt, Robert Treat, Content Treat, Joseph Stone, Sarah Stone, Samuel Stone, Naomi Stone, Samuel Prudden, Jonah Treat, Rebecea Treat, Asa Platt, Patty Platt, Josiah Boardman, Wil- liam Fowler, Eunice Fowler, Benjamin Clark, Sarah Clark, Content Fowler, Joseph Treat, Rebecea Treat, Margaret Andrews, Samuel Fenn, Isaae Treat, Mehitable Treat, Benjamin Fenn, Comfort Fenn, Peek Fenn, Urania Fenn, Jonathan Treat, Susannah Treat, Samuel Fenn, Abigail Fenn, David Treat, Mabel Treat, Joseph Treat, Amos Mallery, Sarah Mallery.
The same year were added John Gunn, Martha Gunn, Hannah Clark, Eunice Treat. In 1806 13 members were added, the males be- ing Enoch Clark, Benjamin Clark, Isaac Clark, Gideon Alling, Amos Smith. In 1807 John Buttriek and five others joined; in 1808 John Hine, Josephi Buttrick and five females. In 1809 31 persons were ad- mitted, all but four by profession, the male members being David Nettleton, Aaron Hine, Jonathan Rogers, Joseph Prudden, Josiah Fowler, Oliver Nettleton, Richard Bryan. In 1821 75 persons were added; in 1831 about 50; and in 1843 about 70.
The church has had an aggregate membership of about 700, the number belonging in 1890 being 171, and representing 125 families.

HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN COUNTY.
The first pastor of the church was Reverend Erastus Scranton, who was settled July 4th, 1805, and dismissed January 3d, 1827. " He was a native of Madison, and was a strong, tall, farmer-looking man. His father once speaking of him said: 'Erastus was preaching the Gospel to the everlasting heathen of North Milford;' but he proved useful and was deservedly greatly respected. He gathered and wrote out and deposited in the town clerk's office a considerable history of old Mil- ford."# The church and society prospered under his ministrations, which were longer continued than those of any other pastor. While he was pastor a new meeting house was built. It was commenced June 27th, 1810, and dedicated April 17th, 1811, Reverend Bezaleel Pinneo preaching the dedicatory sermon. This house was placed on the north end of the green, and was more in the modern style of church building than its predecessor on the green. In 1864 it was re- modelled at a cost of $3,650, and rededicated June 9th, that year. More recent repairs have made it very comfortable.
A parsonage on the west side of the green, near the meeting house, affords a comfortable home for the officiating ministers. These have been, after Mr. Scranton, the following: Reverend Horatio A. Parsons, settled December 23d, 1829, dismissed April 24th, 1832; Horace Wood- ruff, settled August 22d, 1832, dismissed June 7th, 1836; Anson Smyth, settled November 25th, 1840, dismissed December 27th, 1842; Cyrus Brewster, settled August 23d, 1843, dismissed August 23d, 1848; W. W. Belden, settled August 23d, 1848, dismissed May 18th, 1852; D. Wil- liams, stated supply from February, 1853, to February, 1855; A. C. Raymond, settled June 11th, 1856, dismissed October 27th, 1862; Henry T. Staats, settled June 9th, 1864, dismissed March 17th, 1869; William H. Dean, stated supply from July 1st, 1871, to April 1st, 1875; T. A. Leete, stated supply from January 1st, 1877, to April 1st, 1879; W. H. McGiffert began his labors June 1st, 1879, and ended them Jan- nary 1st, 1880. The same year Reverend Elijah C. Baldwin preached three months. Reverend G. W. Noyes became the acting pastor July 1st, 1880, but continued only a few months, when the pulpit was sup- plied until September, 1881. In that month Reverend C. C. Otis began his labors as a supply, and was ordained and settled August 2d, 1882. He was dismissed July 30th, 1883, to become a general missionary in Washington, on the Pacific coast. Reverend H. W. Hunt began here as a supply September 1st, 1883, and was ordained as the pastor Sep- tember 17th, 1884. He has since acceptably continued, and under his care the church prospers.
The office of deacon in this church was for life up to 1875, when a change was made, electing them for three years. The complete dea- conry has been as follows: Elias Clark, elected March 13th, 1805, died July 17th, 1817; Jonathan Treat, elected March 13th, 1805, died No- vember 20th, 1829; Joseph Prudden, elected November 4th, 1814, died

French, elected May 5th, 1877, reelected January, 1880, and January 6th, 1883; upon the same date Aaron Clark was elected an honorary deacon for life. Deacon French died April 7th, 1883, and May 5th, J. S. Alling was elected to fill his term. He was reelected January, 1886, but declined. S. D. Woodruff was chosen April 30th, 1886, but also declined, when Charles A. Clark was elected, in July, 1886. Being reelected January, 1889, he declined the office, when Ed- ward L. Clark, Jr., was elected and now serves with Leverett J. Clark in this honorable office. The latter, S. D. Woodruff, S. J. Alling, Charles A. Clark and Aaron Clark constitute the standing committee. S. D. Woodruff is the clerk of the church.
The committee of the ecclesiastical society are E. L. Clark, I. P. Treat and E. C. Russell.
Connected with the church is a good Sabbath school of 125 inem- bers, superintended by Lewis A. White. For many years Deacon H. B. French was the superintendent. It has a well selected library of 400 volumes. The Christian Endeavor Society, an active auxiliary, has 45 members.
In this part of the town the Baptists and Methodists formerly had a number of members, and greatly aided in promoting the revival spirit half a century ago. A former deacon of the above church, Eben- ezer Alling, became a useful Methodist minister, preaching in Milford and in this town. For a period of years a Methodist class was main- tained, and was connected, in a circuit relation, with Derby and Mil- ford.
The Orange Cemetery is a short distance north of the green, at Orange Center, and contains several acres of land. It first consisted of half an acre, which was set aside for burial purposes in 1804. Previous interments were made at Milford. The cemetery is well kept, and there are many attractive and a few costly monuments. Among the inscriptions may be noted the following, commemorative of many of the leading families and citizens who lived in this part of the town:
Enoch Clark, killed by lightning while harvesting, July 18th, 1807, aged 60 years.
Joel Woodruff, died March 14th, 1808, aged - years.
Joseph Stone, died December 14th, 1810, aged 55 years.
