The Congregational Church at Poquonnoe, designated at its organization " The Second Church of Windsor," was formed 2d July, 1841, with 39 members. The field was hard to cultivate, and discourag- ing to look upon. Universalism and infidelity had not only killed the ancient church (see pages 290-291), but had sown the seeds of a moral and religious lethargy which had so deteriorated the character of this beautiful portion of Windsor that it was familiarly spoken of in the surrounding country as Sodom. In 1830, however, through the efforts

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH AT POQLONOCK.
of an eminent temperance lecturer, Mr. Hunt, a temperance society was organized, enrolling 80 names. Mr. Samuel O. Hollister, who procured Mr. Hunt's services, had purchased the (former ) Niles & Marshall paper mills there, and learned, to his great disappointment, the nature of the spiritual desolation into which he had removed. The lack of regular evan- gelical preaching occasioned at times painful inconveniences, and it was an incident of this kind which finally led to the securing of evangelical preaching. Under the action of a committee of the Ecclesiastical Society (Messes, Hollister, William Soper, Elihu Marshall), the pulpit was thenceforth supplied with tolerable regularity by ministers of various denominations, though the preference of those interested was, perhaps, mostly Congregational. This preaching in a public hall, from 1835 to 1841, embraced the efforts of students from the Theological Institute of Connecticut at East Windsor (among whom was Rev. Dr. Gale, lately of Lee, Mass., who is said to have preached his first sermon here) : a year's supply by David Austin Sherman, a graduate and tutor (1804-1810) of Yale : and others. But the forces which gave birth to the church organization culminated more decidedly under the preaching of Rov. Mr. Hempstead of Hartford, 1840-41, resulting in a religious awakening and several conversions.
Ile was succeeded by John R. Adams, who preached a part of the time at the school-house at Poquonock, as well as at Rainbow. Finally, on June 2, 1841, a church was organized with 39 members, of whom 18 were by letter. This organization was largely due to the efforts of Josiah Smith and Charles W. Denslow, who became the church's first deacons, and Samuel O. Hollister, who was elected the second deacon, but declined to serve. Of the original members ten had died here before 1871, viz .: Mrs. Denslow, 1850 : Deacon Josiah Smith, 1851 : Mrs. Clemons, 1852: Mr. Clemons, 1853; Mrs. Jerusha, wife of Deacon Josiah Smith, and Mrs. Rebecca Soper, 1854: Miss Martha Moore, 1857 : Mrs. Selina Griswold, 1865 : Mirs. Maria Griswold, 1866: Mrs. Duleena Moore, 1868. Twenty-one were dismissed to other churches, one was excommunicated, four absent, and three living - Mrs. Maria Soper, Mrs. Hathaway, Mrs. Doyle.
Pastors. Rev. JOHN R. ADAMS is entitled to be considered as the church's first minister, though he remained less than five months after its organization. He was a brother of Rev. Dr. William Adams of New York city : was born in Plainfield, Conn .: graduated, Yale College, 1821: at Andover Seminary. 1826; jastor at Londonderry, N. Il .. 1831-38: after he left Poquonock was settled at Gorham. Me., and died at Northampton, Mass., 25th April, 1866 : age lit.

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.
Rev. CHAUNCEY RICE preached, after Mr. Adams, until about the 18th February following, supplying about as long as Mr. A. had done; was afterwards pastor of Congregational Church at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Rev. CORNELIUS B. EVEREST (see page 299) was acting pastor here, 1843-1st August, 1852. The majority of the congregation in his time seems to have been resident at Rainbow.
In 1843 he had a congregation of 150, there was no ecclesiastical society, and they were able to raise but about $300 among them. Dur- ing the last two and a half years of Mr. E.'s ministry a separate service was held at Pognonock in a hall built for the purpose by Mr. Daniel Buek - in Franklin Hall. as it was called. Rev. Mr. Bruce and others preached several months in the latter part of 1849. In January, 1850, Mr. Thomas II. Rouse, who had been laboring six months at Feeding Ilills, exchanged with Mr. Bruce, preaching a semi-centennial sermon, and the congregation were so favorably impressed that they desired to hear Mr. R. on the next Sabbath - with the result that he was engaged to supply in the hall until the following May. For two years he ministered to a congregation unconnected with any church organization, until in 1852 it was united with the church at Rainbow under Mr. Everest, and Mr. Rouse became the preacher to the new church - for whose better accommodation, through his earnest efforts, a new church edifice was soon erected, and dedicated in the spring of 1854. On the 18th July of the same year he was ordained pastor, serving as such until 7th October, 1856.
Mr. Rouse was a native of Pittstown, Rensselaer county, N. Y., and baptized there in the Dutch Reformed Church, of which his mother was a member. About 1836 he commenced the study of medi- eine, but his conversion led to a change of plan, and he entered and graduated from Williams College; studied theology two years at the Connectient Theologieal Institute, and one at Union Theological Semi- mary, New York city; came to Poquonock, 1850: dismissed, 1856 : installed pastor, 8th January, 1857, Congregational Church at Jamestown, N. Y .; dismissed June, 1868, owing to failing health. Resumed preach- ing May, 1869, at San Mateo, Cal. During his ministry at Poquonock 39 were received to church membership, 9 of whom were by letter.
Rev. HENRY J. LAMB was next invited to the pastorate of this church, but, from considerations of age and health, declined instal- lation. He supplied, however, for two years from 1857, fourteen being received into the church at one time ( Ith July, 1858) as the result of a revival attending his labors. Sixteen were received in all, one of which was by letter.
Mr. Lamb studied theology at Andover and Bangor Theological Semi- maries ; spent thirty-six years in the ministry : was six years post-chaplain

in the United States army : was pastor at West Suffield, 1853-57. He spent the closing years of his life in Springfield, Mass., where he died, 30th October, 1862. aged 61.
Rev. OGDEN HALL, previously a settled pastor at Hartland. Con .. labored with this church nearly two years, 18. 9-61. He preached at Holland, Muss., and later resided at Chatham, Mass.
Rev. CHARLES H. BISSELL first occupied this pulpit in the summer of 1860: graduated, Williams College, 1858; preached for Mr. Hall several times, and while yet a student at the East Windsor Theological Seminary, where he graduated, 1861, had two engagements of three months each with this church, and was ordained here as an evangelist, 12th June, 1862. In the summer of 1864 he spent two months in the service of the U. S. Christian Commission in the army in Virginia; returned home to suffer from a fever contracted there ; and resigned his pulpit in April, 1865, for a second and more responsible engagement with the Commission. Prevented from this, however, by death in his family, he assumed charge, October, 1865. of the church at Harwinton, Conn .; thence he went to Owosso, Mich .; compelled by illness in his family to remove, he went to Independence. Iowa. Under his labors at Poquonoek twenty were received, fifteen of whom were upon profession.
Rev. JOSIAH PEABODY succeeded Mr. Bissell. He was born at Topsfield, Mass .; graduated, Dartmouth College, and in theology at Andover Theological Seminary : preached at Bolton about two years, beginning 1839; embarked, April. 1841, in the foreign missionary service, and labored fourteen years at Erzroum and five at Constantino- ple. until his health failed. He supplied Poquonock from 1865 to 1868, a period of three years : and during that time eight were admitted to the church, five of whom were on profession.
Rev. NATHANIEL G. BONNEY' was ordained pastor 1st July, 1868- 1873.
Rev. WILLIAM II. PHIPPS. 1873 1877.
Rev. SILAS KETCHUM, appointed pastor 1877-79; pastor installed 1879-1881 : died in office.
Rev. WILLIAM HOWARD, appointed pastor since 1880.
The church edifice is a good brick building, and the society also owns a very good parsonage, valued at $3.000, a fund of $600, and no debt. Membership about 100.
Baptistx, in Poquonock, under Mr. Geo. L. Hodge, sustained prayer- meetings and occasional preaching previous to 1867, when regular pub- lic worship was sustained by the 2d Baptist church of Suffield : and Rev. W. F. Hansell, D.D., became pastor in April 1870, and died 26 Nov ..
To whose Sermon at the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Congregational Church, Pu qu'onock, preached 4th June, 1871, we are largely indebted for the history of this church.

COLONIZATION FROM WINDSOR.
FAIRFIELD was her first-born. In Oct., 1639, Mr. Roger Ludlow, Deputy Governor, and then a resident of Windsor, made a journey to New Haven ; and thence - mindful of the beautiful country through which he, with others, in 1637, had pursued the flying Pequots - to Pequannock, Stratford, and Uneoway [Fairfield ], where he located some cattle and laid ont lots of land "for himself and others." Upon his return there arose some misunderstanding as to what he had done; but he was aetive in furthering the settlement at Uncoway : which, by April, 1640, was established as a town, and in that year, probably, he became a resident there. Ile took with him several families from Windsor, among whom were John Banks, a lawyer; George Hull (about 1646), Thomas Bassett. William Ifill. and Simon Hoyte ( about 1653).
