When the appellation Mr. had in New England become somewhat com- mon, as it had become about the time of the settlement of Harwinton, there was dissatisfaction felt by some. Thus, Rev. Thomas Ruggles of Guilford, in this State, giving, about a century ago, a review of its early times, said : "The first planters who came to the town were of two ranks, viz., such who in England are called gentlemen and commonality. None were poor men, and few or no servants. The gentlemen were all men of wealth, and they bear the appellation of Mr., as Mr. Desborow, etc., while according to the plain customs of those times the commonali- ty were named only Goodman or Neighbor, such or such an one. How greatly are times now changed ! Every man almost is called Mr., every woman Miss [Mrs. ? ], Madam or Lady. Popularity destroys all civil distinction."}
This extension to the many of appellations once limited to the few, has gone on elsewhere. Columbus and his heirs were by special letters from the king of Spain, in 1492, "authorized to prefix the title of Don [, Lord, Mr.,] to their names; a distinction accorded, in those days, only to persons of rank and estate, though it has since lost all value from be- ing universally used in Spain."}
In this State, and in New England at large, one species of honorary appellations retained an especial significance long after the other varie- ties had lost their prestige, viz., military prefixes to names. Indeed, these titles have hardly yet, in some districts, lost their peculiar charms. Formerly, "they were preferred to civil or ecclesiastical honors. A cor- poral was on the road to distinction. His office was occasionally, but not usually, attached to his name. A sergeant had attained distinction, and his title was never omitted. An ensign or a lieutenant was lifted quite above the heads of his fellows. A captain was necessarily a man of great influence, whose opinion was taken in all the weighty concerns of a town. Few aspired to the exalted rank of a major. It was the reward of the most distinguished services."§ New England had no higher military office than captain, for many years. ' Lt.,' 'Ens.,' and

even 'Corp.,' were nearly as suggestive as 'my Lord Coke's' noted ' &c.' was.
NOTE O., PAGE 32. Contests.
Until that day, which with good reason is expected, shall have come, when men in general will be better than they are now; diversities in views and feelings and opposition in action must, in every community, be expected. For the reason intimated on previous pages (, 65-6 in Note), a consideration of the later contests of a moral nature mainly, as pertaining to Harwinton, has been remitted to future times. A notice, as respects our citizens, of contests having, in the main, different occa- sions and a different character, is appropriate here.
BOUNDARY QUESTIONS.
This Town did not escape the controversies, regarding 'metes and bounds,' which, with other troubles, all new Towns, in common with "High and Mighty States General," seem fated to share. On this point the following items appear.
27 August, 1733. voated the Proprietors, at their own Cost, Shall Defend the Clerk from all Cost & Damage that Shall Ensue from His Neglect, In not Recording a Survey Signed by Judd & Bird Dated September 14th 1732 of 75 acres of Land Lying between Farmington and Litchfeild, 12 acres of which lyeth East of the Lead mine Hills & is Claimed by the Heirs of Deacon Standly; & that Mr Sam11 Allyn Ens.

8 May, 1739. A petition was presented to the Legislature by "Zach- ariah Saymour, of Hartford, Daniel Messenger and Benjamin Catlin, of Harwinton," asking a Commission "for a survey and legal establishment of the west line of Farmington."}-See more of this in the Town Rec- ords, Book I.
CHANGE, AS TO SINGING, IN PUBLIC WORSHIP.
About eighty years since, the introduction of a greater variety of tunes, and epecially of singing by choirs in Sabbath-day services, was an innovation which much disturbed the equanimity of many persons. The following record shows one thing, respecting that matter, which was done in Harwinton.
4 June, 1776. Then Voted that the Last Singing on Each Sabbath may be per- formed without the Psalm being red line by line until the Next Anuel Society Meeting

So far as appears, Harwinton had less of commotion, as to this mat- ter, than did most other New England towns. At Simsbury, soon after a vote had been taken, April, 1773, "to sing on the Lord's day accord- ing to the rules taught in the Singing Schools in [that] and the neigh- boring Societies," "a teacher of music was employed. After practising some time, he appeared with his scholars in church on a Sunday, and the minister having announced the psalm, the choir, under the instruct- or's lead, started off with a tune much more lively than the congregation had been accustomed to hear. Upon which, one of the Deacons, Brew- ster Higley, took his hat and left the house,-exclaiming, as he passed down the aisle,-"popery ! popery !" 'f In Athol, Ms., Mrs. Susannah Haven, aggrieved about the same period, Feb., 1775, made of her griev- ance a "Public Declaration to the Church," in which she said :
... the Church and Congregation hath altered their manner of Singing; it hath been and is much to my Dissatisfaction and grief, as I am not able to see how the Continuing the Bass between the Lines of the Tenor, is consistent with Singing with the Spirit and Understanding also, as it appears to me that the Understanding must be useless in that unnasary part of the Sound; but Considering this as no Essential part of our holy Religion, and yt I am Sensible y* I cant do any thing more than hath been done to reform what I Esteem Wrong in the manner of Sing- ing, I Esteem it my Duty in this public manner to Let you know what those things are yt are grievous to me, and y+ I wholly disapprove of in your Singing.#
Such 'straws' show how ' the whistling wind' at that time 'blew '- from various quarters.
WARS.
As to the ' bloody strifes' in which our country has been involved, the following notices are given.
A number of persons from Harwinton, large as compared with the population of the Town, were soldiers in what New Englanders term 'the old French war,' 1755-63. Some of these, as ascertained in 1837, were Charles Goodwin, Capt. Jacob Hinsdale, Timothy Homaston, Be- noni Hough, Samuel Weston. Timothy Homaston, who had been under command of Gen. Amherst at the taking of Quebec, 1759, died, at a very advanced age, in 1829.
In the time of the great struggle which 'eventuated ' in securing our national independence, there were, as is known, individuals in nearly all parts of the country who took a view of that struggle differing from that of the mass of their fellow-citizens. There is remembered but one such as having belonged to Harwinton.

John Marsh, 3d, of Litchfield, applied [to the Governor and Council of Safety, 11 Feb., 1777,] for liberty to take Mark Prindle, of Harwinton, (a tory [then] at Mans- field,) and him have before the Court at Litchfield, in discharge of his bail bond, given for said Prindle in another case; which was granted by the Governor and Council, with their order to return said Prindle, after his trial, to Amariah Williams in said Mansfield .*
In 1781, Harwinton was subjected to a penalty of £15 for a deficien- cy of one man in the number of men required for the war.t
Incidents of a different character, as well as men more fitly represent- ing the Town at that period, were as given below.
While the people here were on a Sabbath morning, 27 April, 1777, preparing to leave their homes for attendance on public worship, an ex- press arrived through Litchfield from Danbury, announcing that Gov. Tryon. with his troops, the 'cow-boys,' as they were contemptuously termed by the Americans, had come from New York to the latter place. Mr. (afterwards Dea.) Webster, after receiving from the messenger the written message which was bronght, gave it to Abraham Goodwin, for conveyance to New Hartford. He ran with it, 'post-haste,' one mile to . Lt. Jonathan Goodwin, whom he found strapping to his horse a side- saddle. The Lt., a man who generally required ample time for deliber- ation on even small matters and who otherwise was becomingly slow in his movements, now catching by a glance the purport of the docu- ment, exchanged his saddle in a trice and, urging his wonder-struck ani- mal into no inferior rate of speed, let something other than his "mode- ration be known." Harwinton soldiers, with others from this vicinity, immediately sped to Danbury, reaching that place, distant some forty- four miles, early on Monday morning; though not until after the British detachment had effected the object of their coming, by the destruction of the bread-stuffs and other military stores there deposited. Mr. Abraham Goodwin gave to the writer this account in 1837; saying, at that time, that his age was 83 years. He then resided in Harwinton.
In 1778, Levi Monson, of Harwinton, ¿ a sergeant in Capt. [William] Douglass' company, Col. [David] Wooster's regiment [, made declaration to the Legislature of this Colony, that he] was taken prisoner on the Isle of Montreal, carried to Quebec, and thence with [Amos ?] Green, a soldier, and Col. Ethan Allen, to Falmouth in England, [and that he] returned from Falmouth to Halifax [, N. S.], about June 29th, 1776.§
In the Town Records, for the years of the revolutionary contest, various details show the interest felt and the efforts made by this Town, regarding that endeavor. Many soldiers hence died by camp sickness and otherwise, though it has not been found that any from Harwinton were killed while fighting in the 'continental' army. In 1837 were liv- ing in Harwinton, and then receiving, as revolutionary soldiers, pensions from the national government, Simeon Barber, Lyman Clark, Darius

" Who goeth a warfare, at his own charges ?" So rare a thing it is, that the name soldier originally indicated one who served another for pay, a stipendiary. But how much lacked the above-named, with other soldiers in like manner aided from other places their own towns, of serv- ing at their own cost? In so far as they did this, in the war of the American Revolution, were not they in that as meritorious as, for thus doing in the same contest, was the honored volunteer from France, La Fayette ?
'Benj. Catlin, Quartm' is given in the list of 'Prisoners' of "CAPT. HANDCHITT'S COMPANY," as "of the American troops at Quebec, on the 31st December, 1775."-" A JOURNAL of a March from Cam- bridge [, Ms., ] on an Expedition against Quebec, in COL. BENEDICT AR- NOLD's Detachment, Sept. 13, 1775 [, and on] : kept by JOSEPH WARE of Needham, Ms .; pub. in N. E. His. Gen. Reg., April, 1852. This Benjamin Catlin seems to have been from Ct .; and to have enlisted at some place other than Harwinton. He was, probably, son of Benjamin, Jr., and grandson of Benjamin, Sen., of Harwinton.

Ancient Houses.
The house, which Capt. Messenger built, stood near the site of that now belonging to the widow Irene Phelps. The house which Dea. John Wilson built stood, in its last years a venerable ruin, near the one now owned by Mr. Sheldon A. Barber. Among the oldest houses now in Harwinton are those in which live Messrs. Loren Barber, Allen Birge, Ellis Burwell, Ephraim S. Cleveland, Wakeman G. Cook, Enos Frisbie, James Mather, Sheldon Pond, Addison Webster. To ancient dwellings attach many associations which are indeed "pleasant and mournful," but withal useful too. A Town whose homes are all new lacks one of the elements which connect the present with preceding generations. So far, the inhabitants of a place thus unhistorical will probably, as dissevered from them, be forgetful of ancestral ties.
'The old stone house in Guilford,' Ct., dates from the founding of that Town in 1639. In Salem, Ms., founded in 1626, there stands in good state and modern form a wooden mansion which, brought to that city in 1628 from a settlement then broken up at Cape Ann, had been con- structed and occupied by Roger Conant there in 1624.
