HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.


No. 3. Page 74.


(Reprinted from the Puritan Recorder.)


Although the following articles were intended merely for newspaper circu- lation, and the subject has been more fully treated in this volume, yet we have thought best to reprint them, as affording a clear, consecutive and satisfactory argument in favor of the Windsor Church.


The Oldest Orthodox Congregational Church.


Messzs. Elitors-Under this head you present in your last issue the claims of the Church in Lynn to the honorable distinction of being the oldest Orthodox Congregational Church in America. Permit me to offer the claims of the Church in Windsor, Conn., to this distinction.


The present Congregational Church in Windsor was organized in Plymouth, England, in 1630. The original members had assembled at that port, and while awaiting the preparation of their ship, the Church was organized, and the Rev. John Warham and Rev. John Maverick were chosen and installed Pastor and Teacher. The Rev. Mr. White of Dorchester, assisted in the exer- cises of the occasion and preached the sermon. The embarkation, which took place soon after, occurred on the 20th of March, 1630; and on the 30th of May they were landed at Nantaskett Point, several weeks before the arrival of Governor Winthrop at Boston (see Clapp's Memoirs and Annals of Dor- chester). Two of the assistants of Massachusetts, Mr. Roger Ludlow and Mr. Edward Rosseter, were among the original members of this Church. The location selected was named Dorchester, from which place, after five years, the removal "of the Dorchester people" to Connecticut commenced. The new location was also named Dorchester, which name was afterwards changed by the Court to Windsor. The Church organization was not left behind in Massachusetts. Winthrop's Journal says a Council was called to organize a Church at Dorchester, April 11, 1636, " a large part of the old one being gone to Conn .; " but the Council not being satisfied respecting the soundness of the views of those who proposed to form a new one, "except Mr. Mather and one more ; " the matter was deferred. On the 23d of August a Church was organized, and a covenant, subscribed to by seven individuals, was adopted. (See Annals of Dorchester.) That this was nothing less than a new Church organization is farther proved by a letter from Jolin Kingsley, (one of the seven). The letter was sent to Connecticut in 1676, asking aid, after the destruction of the town of Rehoboth. (See appendix to Public Records of Colony of Connecticut, published 1852). He says : "Now being unknowne to you beloe on the river, I say I am the 1 man and onely left of those that gathered the Church that is now in Dorchester, yet of lat have lived at Rehoboth " We have a negative proof that the original Church of the Dor- chester people, which was gathered in England, was not disbanded, in the absence of any reference to a new gathering of a Church by Mr. Warham and his people, after their arrival in Connecticut ; and the following extracts from the old Record of the Windsor Church, taken in connection with the fore- going, leaves no room for doubt on this point. The Record to which I refer is now in possession of the Connecticut Historical Society. It is a copy or rather a compilation from the original Records, and was made about 1670 by Mathew Grant, one of the original members of the Church. After this, from time to time, the doings of the Church are added until the death of Mr. Grant, about 1680. The first pages of this Record Book are somewhat mutilated by the crumbling of the leaves; but enough remains to show why the compiler of this Record did not give us a connected history of the Church from its organization, but only designed to give a record of " Church things in general [as they have occurred since our] first settling down here in Wind- sor, * * * and because the Elders of the Church have [a Record ?] of Church proceedings in some things, * * * therefore in such things as [there] be to

speak to, I shall set down here in the [or]der I can. Concerning the admis- sion of per[sons to] full communion, I could give account of [all, but] judge there is no need of such as are dead and gone from us to other places."
