Eleven somewhat lengthy documents, now on file in the state library at Hartford, testify to the great interest shown in both the old and the new parishes in the proposed division.
These papers indicate the most obstinate determination on the part of the first society not to allow any further alienation of any part of their ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Assuming a sort of indefeasible right to the territory, the society, by a unani- mous vote of all excepting the seeeding portion, declared that they would "not grant to the people at the east end of the

town the liberty of a society apart." They also appointed Captain Jonathan Hoyt and Mr. Jonathan Maltby as special agents to the legislature to report the reasons of the TOWN against forming the new society. But the seceders at length prevailed.
The names of the petitioners to the "Five Mile river peticion," dated the second Thursday of October, 1736, the original petition being now before me-are: Thos. Reed, Edmond Waring, Jona. Cristy, Jona. Bates, Robert Mills, John Reed, Joshua Scofield, Isaac Bishop, Jona. Bell, Josh. Morehouse, John Bates, Jona. Petit, David Selleck, Nath'l Bates, Ed. Waring, jun., Jos. Pengban, Thos. Reed, jun., John Petit, Joseph Whiting, John Reed, jun., James Slason, jun., David Bates, Elias Reed, John Raymond, Nath'l Selleck, David Sco- field, Sam. Richards, Jos.

Reed.
The first record of a society's meeting in Middlesex bears date June 15, 1789. Ensign Nathan Bell was its moderator and Joshua Morehouse was appointed society's clerk. The meeting was held at the house of John Bates. At an adjourned meeting held June 21st, Thos. Reed, Jona. Bates, Daniel Reed, . Isaac Bishop, Jonathan Selleck, Samuel Reed and ensign Jonathan Bell were appointed a committee to "caryon " the building of the "metting hous." They were instructed to make the house fifty fect long, thirty feet wide and twenty feet post.
They then voted a tax to meet the expenses of the building, and to pay Mr. Buckingham " for His preaching the time agreed." Jonathan Weed was appointed collector. The society

records from this date to that of the organization of the church show that the following ministers labored here either simply as supplies or as candidates : Rev. Mr ._ Birdseye, Gideon Mills, Eb- enezer Mills, David Judson, Mr. Ells and Mather. At a meet- ing held Dec. 11, 1741, the society voted, by a large majority, forty-two to four, to settle Mr. Judson. But to give every man in the society an opportunity to vote, Mr. Morehouse, the clerk, was ordered to carry a paper with the vote " about and read the same to those persons that belong to said society, which were not at said meeting, that they might have opportunity to sub- scribe to the same."
At their meeting Sept 1, 1742, while Mr. Mather was still preaching as a candidate for settlement, we find this vote: "Ye Society by major vote granted to ye Rev. Mr. Right (Wright), to preach in any part of Middlesex parish on any needful occa- sion as often as he shall see fit."
A record of the doings of this society in 1747 respecting the seating of the meeting house explains more fully the process of this custom than any record now existing of any other parish in town, and is worth preserving as a curiosity of the times. Be- sides, it indicates some of the principal men of that day, in this part of the town.
By the first vote the society decided to seat the meeting by a committee.

The above record is of date Ang. 9, 1747, and the next meet- ing of the society was held " genewary ye 28th, 1747-8." A record of this meeting is also so characteristic of the times as to justify insertion.
" Voted yt Mr. Jona Bell or any other man a greed upon to sing or tune ye salm in his absence in times of publickt worship may tune it in ye old way or new which suits you best. vote yt Elijah Jones shall tune ye salms in times of worship in Mr. Bell's absence. Vote yt Left. Jona. Selleck shall Reed the salms in Mr. Bell's absence."
We have now cut off from what was the parish of Stamford under the first three pastors here, from the west side portions of the First society in Greenwich and of the Stanwich society ; to the north we have transferred a section to the Bedford parish and to the east a portion of the New Canaan and the most of the Darien societies. There remains, therefore, only the central portion of the old parish left, extending over two miles east of the meeting house in the village and about a mile and a half west, and stretching from the waters of the Sound ten or eleven miles towards the north. Only one other sub-division of this territory into ecclesiastical societies remains to be noticed.
NORTHI STAMFORD SOCIETY.
For several years before the incorporation of this society, re- ligious meetings had been held in this part of the town. As early as Dee. 9, 1742.
First Society meeting, grant to the people of Woodpecker's Ridge and such as formerly used to joyn with them or may still joyu with them in those limits, an abatement of their part of the ministerial rate for the year ensu- ing during the time of three months, if they employ a regular and orthodox person to preach among them, in case said people in an orderly and regular manner attend all the stepts of the law for the obtaining and improving a person to preach in such a capacity.

Vote this meeting is adjourned to 23 day instant at one of the clock at this place ; viz . the house of Joseph Judson.
Met and adjourned to first Mond. Feb. next, same place.
Dec. 27, 1743. Woodpecker Ridge shall have the liberty to introduce the Rev. Mr. Writ to preach unto them ; if the said Mr. Writ shall be willing, l'or this four months next coming, viz : one Sabbath in a month.
Dec. 22, 1762. The inhabitants of the Society living at Woodpecker Ridge and Scofield Town and Thomas Potts, John Dean and Reuben Weed shall be excused from paying their society's rates this year for the time they shall hire a preacher, provided it shall not exceed four months.
In 1763 vote to pay to the inhabitants living as above, and those beyond Woodpecker Ridge, their proportion of one hun- dred pounds, for the time they shall hire preaching, if not for more than four months.
Similar votes were passed annually by the first society until 1773, when it was voted that "twelve pounds, lawful money raised in the first society on the list of this year, be given to the people of Woodpecker Ridge," and Benjamin Weed and Hezekiah Weed were appointed to receive and disburse it. The next five years a similar vote was passed, increasing the appro- priation until it reached eighteen pounds.
In 1779, after maintaining separate worship for nearly forty years, the people living at and near Woodpecker Ridge sent a formal petition to be set off as an independent society. Now commenced one of the most heated contests which the town has ever witnessed. The petitioners were carnest and revolutionary in spirit, determined to regulate their own society affairs; and the remonstrants, the entire southern portion of the town, were as earnest in opposing them. Both parties besieged the legis- lature, and the Supreme Court of the State hesitated. Both were well represented, and such was the vigor of the contest- ants and so nearly balanced their opposing pleas, that they pre- vailed to postpone for another year the final action of the legis- lature. The next season, May 1780, a committee consisting o- Lemuel Sanford, Clap Raymond and Mathew Mead, was consti- tuted by the legislature to run a line for the southern boundary of the proposed society, if on a local examination they were satis- fied there was any need for the new organization. The com-
20

mittee decided in favor of the division and located the line of separation. They presented their report at the next session of the legislature, and the plea they make is based on this justifi- cation : "There is a number of considerable farmers in the place, where they have already built them a meeting house, and it will admit of considerable improvements, and many more in- habitants."
Against so conclusive reasoning, no plea of the remonstrants could find weight. Their fears of the " utter weakening " of the parent society, their dislike of the committee's line, which so encroached upon the territory they needed, and the utmost elo- quence of their champion, the weighty colonel Charles Webb, were alike ineffectnal, and the last excision from the first eccles- iastical society was at length sanctioned by the state legislature in their spring session 1781.
Simultaneously with the above territorial division of the town ecclesiastically, another process of excision was going on. By this process, portions of the territory were cut off and assigned to new towns as they were organized. Greenwich seems first to have been relinquished.
The town limits to the north extended some four miles further than now, and in 1731 the present line was run, leaving the ter- ritory north of it in Poundridge, Bedford and North Castle. In 1860 the northeast part of the town was set off as a part of the town of New Canaan. In 1830, all that part of the town lying east the Noroton river was incorporated as Darien. These suc- cessive excisions from the territory leave for the present town- ship a territory of about three miles in width at the southern end, about four and a half miles width at the northern end, and about ten miles in length from north to south.
The accompanying map gives the original territory covered by the purchase made by Capt. Turner for the Wethersfield men, and indicates the portions cut off for the new towns as they were organized,

CHAPTER IX.
BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS TO 1700.
In this chapter we shall give an alphabetical list of births marriages and deaths, found on the town records, down to the year 1700. It was the intention of the author to continue this list through the first hundred years of the town, but neither time nor the expense would allow it. It is believed that before the year 1700, no record of this class has escaped the author's notice. Though but a small part of the entire number which must have been registered, with our two chapters of the settlers they will probably indicate nearly all of the different family names found in town, down to the beginning of the eighteenth century.
