[The following peenliar inscription is upon the gravestone of one of his sons :

The original burying ground in the east part of the town was first used about the middle of the last century. The Square Pond Burying

Ground Association was formed May 5, 1860. The cemetery occupies the summit and the gentle slopes of a hill of moderate elevation.
[On the road to Vernon, on the west side of the marsh, and a little north of Mr. Nash's house, is a stone with this inscription (verbatim et literatim):
" Killed in this place. SAMUEL FIELD KNIGHT, by a cart wheel roling over his head in the 10th year of his age, Nov. 8, 1812. But O the shaft of death
was flung and cut the tender flower down Death's sharpened arrows gave the wound And now he moulders in the ground."
The boy had been sent to Capt. Abbott's with a yoke of oxen and cart for a barrel of cider.
Ellington seems to be somewhat noted for roadside epitaphs. On the farm of Mr. R. G. Goodell a large slab reveals to the passing tray- eler a grim death's head, surmounting the following:
This is ye place where MR. JOHN ABORNS Was Killed by a Flash of Lighnling From Heaven August 5th 1768. Aged 46 Years this
Day all You yt Pass this way Prepare For Death while in Helth For you must die this was Erected by Mr. Samuel Aborns of Toland his brother."
A large immigration of Scotch-lrish (rigid Presbyterians ) about the middle of the last century formed a valuable element in the social form- ation of the town, and their descendants, to this day, are among the most influential and respectable of its population. These were the de- scendants of those Scotch families with which King James I repeopled the Province of Ulster, (the northern counties of) Ireland, which had become sadly depopulated and wasted during the Irish Rebellions in the reign of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth. The Highland Rebellions of 1715 and 1745 also furnished great accessions to these Irish colonies ; - and when, by their industry, frugality, and skill, they had made the deserted region into which they had moved a comparatively rich and

flourishing country ; they were recognized by the " paternal government" of Great Britain -as were the American Colonies, later on - by the imposition of taxes, and embarrassing regulations upon their industry and trade; which, with an extortionate advance in rents, etc., led them to seek another country for the freer exereise of their industry and their religion.
Emigrations to America commenced as early as 1684, mostly to the Middle and Southern Colonies - and were the foundations of Presby- terianism in the present United States. In 1718, a Heet of five vessels arrived at Boston, and the families which they brought broke up into several parties, which settled respectively at Portland, Me., and at Andover, Pelham, Boston, and Worcester, Mass. In the Worcester party (who fared worse than the others - their church being demolished by a mob) came the MeKinstrys. In another fleet of five ships, which came from Ireland to the Kennebec river in Maine, probably came the Harpers, Thompsons, Speirs, and other of Ellington's early settlers. And in East Windsor, as in Massachusetts, they found, at first, a con- siderable prejudice enlisted against them, both on account of their religion and country, being called Irish, a term which they greatly re- sented. "We are surprised to hear ourselves termed Irish people," wrote one of their ministers. But the hand of God was as clearly visible in these Scotch-Irish immigrations to America, as it was in that of the Mayflower to Plymouth, or of the Mary and John to Dorchester. This influx gave to the American Colonies from Maine to the Carolinas a backbone of religious, moral, and industrial strength which has been visible in the history of these United States From that day to the present. ]
The first blacksmith shop in Ellington was about eighty rods a little northeast of the house now occupied by Mr. Nelson Warner. It was on an ancient highway, now discontinued. Abner Burroughs, of famous counterfeiting renown, once used this shop.
The former tarern, now occupied by Fenelon Dow, was built in 1790. Previous to that time, west of the meeting-house, there were only the Davis house, about eighty rods west of Joseph Bancroft's house ; the house where Mr. Price's house now stands ; the parson's house, where the late Austin Tilden's house now stands (the well is there now ) ; and Deacon Fitch's house, a few feet cast of Carlos E. Kibbe's house. John Cross had a small house near the spot on which the district schoolhouse stands.
[A Legend of Snipsie Pond. - There was an Indian family living af the head of Snipsie Pond. The father of the family, Isaac Rogers, was going to mill in a boat, and, being intoxicated, fell overboard. When

he rose he clung to the side of the boat, but was unable to get in. Ilis daughter was in the boat, but could not help him into it. She, however, put a shingle under his chin to keep his head out of the water, and then rowed the boat, with her father hanging to the side, to the shore. When he was taken away he was found to be dead. lle had so tight a grasp of the boat that a piece of it was split off and remained in his hand when he was carried to his house. This event happened in 1790. Hle was the husband of Poor Sarah, mentioned (on page 120) in our chapter on Indian history. ]

MATTHEW GRANT'S OLD CHURCH RECORD.
(Collated and Revised with the Original Manuscript, by Mi -- RUTH T. SPERRY, for the- Elotion.
rTIIIS valuable record may well be called the very corner-stone of Windsor's early civil and religious history, as it gives us details which can be found nowhere else. Its anthor tells us that he thinks it unnecessary to record what the - Elders have a record of;" but it is to be regretted that he did not tell us all that he knew, since this is the only record which has been preserved, and the story of its preser- vation is somewhat remarkable.
It is doubtful whether this book was ever the property of the Church. Matthew Grant seems to have written it mainly for his own uses : and it was evidently retained in his own family, and probably went into the family of his oldest son, Sammel Grant, who was settled in East. Windsor, and with whom old Matthew spent the later years of his life. From thence some of the family carried it to Ellington, for on a blank leaf some one has recorded all the deaths in Ellington of the first generation of settlers, between the years 1717 and 1740. From thence it was brought back to Windsor, and probably by Mary Grant, wife of Peletiah Birge, about 1767. They resided several years in " the Molly Birge house" before removing to Pine Meadow, now Windsor Locks. About 1800, this house, which stood on the lot now occupied by the house of the late Roswell Miller, was pulled down. Oliver Ellsworth, Jr., who evidently had antiquarian tastes, picked up among the rubbish a manuscript book which had been thrown aside, and carried it to his father, the Chief Justice. Forty years later Mr. Jabez H. Hayden heard of its existence, and that it gave an account of "a great flood," and many other things which occurred during the early years of the settlement; but none knew where it went to. It had, however, passed from the possession of Judge Ellsworth to that of Rev. Henry A. Rowland, and while there, was seen by Hon. Benjamin Hin- man, who made a copy of it, which is now preserved among the Hinman Papers, in the Library of the New England Historic-Genealogical So- ciety, at Boston. At Mr. Rowland's death it came to the hands of his son-in-law, Dr. Sill, and he loaned it to another party, from whom Mr.

Hayden obtained it and made a copy, containing all that could be deciphered. The late Col. James L. Loomis also had a copy made; and another copy, made by a son of Mr. Rowland, is in the Windsor Town Clerk's office. The original has, for many years past, found a safe abiding place in the library of the Connectient Historical Society.

June 21, 1668 It was by vote of the Church assented to that | Adult persons be it husban or wife that desired to have their | children Baptized by mr chancy, should, if thay presented | themselves to the elders in privat, and declared to their ] satesfaction thire knowledg in the principles & owned the | fathers covinant, then there should nothing be required of them | in publiek until they presented themselves for full com- 1 munion.
before this time it had been the practie to call such persons | in publiqu, to stand forth and answer to questions of catechism | propounded to them and to own the church eovinant. | And the time which mr warham first begann this practie | was january 31, 1657 and went onne in the practie of | it untill march 19, 1664 which day he declared to the | church that he had meet with such arguments against the | prac- tice conserning the baptizing of members [children, that he could not get throw at present, and | could not goe one in practis as hee had don without serupiel of conscience, therefore must forbare untill he had wayed ar | guments and advised with those that were able to give [ ] | not that he intended to east of the practice holy, but only to delaye it for a time till he could be better able to answer | his present seruples, for if he should aet and not of faith rom. 14 would be sin to him.
So the delaye of it from marh. 19, 64 was three years and | so much as from the 19. of March to the 21 of Juen that mr chaney set | it one agayne.
february 16, 78 JOSEPH SKINNER having never bin baptized desired | that he might be baptized and ye church granted it, so he would | be tried concerning his holy and blameles life, and one ye church | covinant, and come under dissipline, to be oned as a (sub?) member, and so any | others might come in, in like manner, men or womenkind, one ye 2 of march there was none that lay | any blame on him in point of his conversa- tion, so he oned ye [church] covinant and was baptized |

May 18, 1624 I here set down anew the time of [bap tizing] of children that have been born and have come to my knowledge to enter upon the old book, that being full there is not place to set in order to find them here I enter persons as they [ were] upon the latter.
[Here follow the records of births, marriages, and deaths, repub- lished in the New England Genealogical Register, Vol. V. Also, the items relating to the Great Flood of 1639; the number of births, deaths, etc. ; and the arrival of Mr. Huit at Windsor. These portions of this old record having been incorporated in other parts of this volume, are here omitted. ]
