Noah Parsons came to this town at an early day in its settlement from Northampton, settling on road 36. He reared a family of six children. Asa married Betsey, daughter of Aaron Hall, of Huntington, and had four chil- dren. One son was killed by the falling of a gate when a small boy, Aaron H., settled near, his father after his marriage to Harriet N., daughter of Lu- thier King. Henry M. married Susan M. Kingsley, of Northampton, and resides on the homestead. They have four children, having buried two in infancy. Susan E., Mahlon K., Edna H. and Lillian G., who reside with their parents. Asa Parsons died about fifteen years ago. His widow is still liv- ing, at the age of eighty-nine years, with her son Henry M. Chester, son of Noah, moved to Skaneateles, N. Y., and afterwards to Syracuse, N. Y., where he and his wife both died. She was a daughter of Benoni Clark, of this town. Noah went to Lima, N. Y., and died there. Spencer was engaged in the cabinet business at Syracuse, N. Y., when he died. Jared removed to South Onondaga, N. Y., and was a farmer there, and is now deceased. Ed- ward located in Northampton, where his sons Edward and Spencer now re- side.
The town's growth and fluctuations in population may be seen in the fol- lowing figures, viz .: The population in 1790 was 683 ; 1800, 756 ; 1810, 793; 1820, 896 ; 1830, 913 ; 1840, 759 ; 1850, 602 ; 1855, 670 ; 1860, 608 ; 1865, 636; 1870, 556; 1875, 556; 1880, 564.
Organization .- The town was incorporated September 29, 1778, in accord- ance with an act of the general court, and Caleb Strong, Esq., of Northamp- ton, afterward governor, was authorized to issue his warrant to the inhabitants of the new town to meet and choose their first town officers, "and transact such other lawful matters as shall be expressed in the warrant." In accord- ance with this act, Caleb Strong issued his warrant to Abner Claflin, one of the principal inhabitants of the town, to warn the inhabitants "to assemble and meet together at the dwelling-house of Nathan Clark, in said Westhamnp- ton, on Friday, the 19th day of November, to choose such officers as towns

are authorized by law to choose." Also " to consider and determine whether the said town will request Mr. Hale to continue to preach in said town."
The officers chosen at the first meeting were Sylvester Judd, clerk ; Dea. Martin Clark, treasurer ; John Smith, Capt. William Bartlett and John Baker, selectmen ; John Parsons and Ephraim Wright, surveyors of ways; Azariah Lyman, tithingman; John Smith, warden; Abner Claflin, constable ; Martin Clark, Azariah Lyman and Sylvester Judd were chosen a committee "to pro- cure Mr. Hale, or some other person, to preach four Sabbaths after Mr. Hale's present engagement expires," preaching services to be held for "two Sabbaths at the house of Nathan Clark, and the remaining two Sabbaths at the house of Azariah Lyman, one house being situated south, the other north of the center."
Gideon Clark was chosen town clerk at the first annual town-meeting, in 1777, and was re-elected for thirty-five years, or until 1814, the year of his death. Sylvester Judd, Jr., served in 1814-15; Luke Phelps from 1816 to 1830, fourteen years ; John A. Judd, from 1830 to 1855, with the exception of one year (1837), when Francis Loud was chosen ; Daniel W. Clark served from 1855 to 1866; Charles N. Lond from 1867 to 1870; I. C. Davenport, in 1870. The present incumbent, Frederick H. Judd, from 1871 until the present time.
It is said that Parson Hale kept a very accurate account of births, deaths, and marriages, but they were all destroyed when his house was burned in 1816. The earlier records of these items in the town are very incomplete.
Westhampton Reunion .-- The town issued letters of invitation to its former in- habitants and natives to meet at a reunion service on September 5, 1866, and about 1,200 persons responded to the call. The reporter of that day said : " It was, properly speaking, a centennial celebration of the settlement of the town, for the earliest inhabitants came in and began to fill the forest just about 100 years ago, although the town was not incorporated till some twelve years afterward, in 1778." Messrs. M. Rice, H. W. Montague, R. W. Clapp, E. H. Lyman and George B. Drury were chosen a committee of arrange- ments. The reporter again says : " The natives of the town compose a noble band of men and women, who would do honor to any locality. No town can boast a nobler ancestry or point to more celebrated descendants than the good old town of Westhampton. Among the clergymen were Revs. J. Lyman Clark, D. D., Dorus Clark, D. I)., Tertius Clark, D. D., Calvin Clark, George Lyman, Chester Bridgman, Prof. Melzar Montague, Enos J. Monatague, Luthar Clapp, James Brewer, and Anson Clark. Physicians, Dr. Anson Hooker, son of Dr. William Hooker, and D. Jewett. Other professional and business men, C. P. Judd and Otis Clapp, of Boston ; E. M. Kingsley, of New York city ; Z. M. Phelps, of Riverdale, N. Y .; F. C. Bridgman, of New York city, and others. The poet of the day was Rev. Prof. Melzar Montague, of Ripon College, Wis., and Enoch H. Lyman was president ; the address of Welcome by R. W. Clapp ; historial address by C. Parkman Judd and Otis Clapp, from which many of

these facts are drawn. After these addresses in the church, the throng repaired to the large pavillion in front of the church to refresh the inner man, at the bountifully spread tables. E. M. Kingsley presided at the tables. Rev. George Lyman, of Sutton, invoked the divine blessing. The banquet over the presi- dent " proceeded to uncork the natives." Rev. Tertius Clark of Cuyahoga was first called up.
" When he was a boy in Westhampton he like all other lads, was profoundly impressed by the great head of Squire Judd. The squire was the maker and expounder of the common law in town, and many looked up to him with the greatest veneration and awe. An incident occurred in the old meeting- house. Tithingmen had been appointed to keep the boys in order in the galleries. On one occasion his strong propensity to laugh came very near plunging him into the deepest disgrace and ruin. One of the tithingmen sported a large bandanna handkerchief, which he used to pull from his pocket on blowing his nose, which he did very frequently, and with a loud noise. One of the boys observing this frequent use of the immense wiper and wishing to have a little sport even 'in meeting time,' brought a pint of beans and poured them into the man's pocket, on the top of the handkerchief, one end of which was hanging outside. The explosion soon occurred. The bandanna was suddenly pulled, the beans flew in all directions, and the church was thrown into great commotion. The boy who put the beans into the pocket maintained the most imperturbable gravity, while the boy Tertius burst out into a shout of laughter, being utterly unable to 'hold in.' The tithingman soon appeared and arrested the laughing lad as the author of all the mischief. He was taken before Squire Judd in a state of awful fear and trembling. Most unexpectedly his life was spared, and he was let off with a repremand never to do so again. He promised he would not, provided the boys did not bring any more beans."
The prayers of the good old men of those days were often an hour long. Rev. George Lyman said, "I remember hearing Deacon Edwards say when he had been obliged to stay at home from church on account of the snow drifts, that he had been absent from church before but once for more than twenty years." In speaking of Squire Judd, his grandfather, he said, "In his manner and general bearing he was a gentleman of the old school. To his minister, Parson Hale, of whom he was a fast friend he was uniformly respect- ful and differential, not forgetting to send him portions of the fattest of his herds and flocks. In his family prayers which were long and always offered in a standing posture, among other 'old-fashioned words and phrases' and ' sacred texts ' which have fixed themselves in my memory, were the familiar words 'whom to know aright is life eternal.' I used to wonder in my boy- hood, who that Noah Wright ('know aright') was, whose title to eternal life was secured."
Mr. E. C. Bridgman, of New York, said: " This is no ordinary entertain- ment to which the absent natives of Westhampton are invited. Nothing to be compared with it can we expect to enjoy again this side of the River. To show our appreciation of and gratitude for what has been done for us, I sug- gest that we take action in the formation of a town library. Some of us have

money ; some have books, good books that we do not need ; and all, I feel sure, are disposed to do something. To set the 'ball in motion,' I offer for this object one hundred dollars."
The whole subject of libraries was referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. E. C. Bridgman, Otis Clapp, S. F. Phelps, Dr. Anson Hooker, E. M. Kingsley and Rev. Mr. Allender. As the result of that "setting the ball in motion," there is now a well selected public library of about 1, 150 volumes which is well patronized. Dr. Dorus Clark pronounced the benediction and the assembly broke up.
Military .- In the war of the Revolution Westhampton took an honorable part, though much that was done was in connection with Northampton, for it must be borne in mind that the town was not organized until three years after the war commenced. The following from the town records, however, shows. the spirit which prevailed :-
" Aug. 5, 1779 .- At a town-meeting, voted, that the town would provide such things for those men that went from us into the Continental army as the town of Northampton desired of us.
" Aug. 11, 1779 .- In the midst of Revolutionary difficulties, Massachusetts having proceeded to call a State convention to form a constitution, West- hampton elected Sylvester Judd as a Delegate.
"Oct. 18, 1779 .- The town voted to hire the three men required for the Continental army. Gideon Clark, John Smith and Sheldon Felton were ap- pointed a committee to assist the militia officers in hiring the men.
" Voted that the selectmen collect the clothing required of Westhampton for the use of the army, deliver the same in Northampton, and take a proper receipt therefor.
" Voted, that the men that went the month's campaign into Connecticut be paid the same as those that went in June last, in proportion to their service. Nathan Clark, Aaron Fisher and Sylvester Judd were appointed a committee to attend to this.
" July 23, 1781 .- Voted, to hire the three men now required of us for the army, and that Capt. Azariah Lyman, Lieut. Aaron Fisher, and Lieut. Noah Edwards be a committee to hire said men, expenses to be assessed upon said town, and paid within one month.
"Sept. 18, 1781 .- Voted, that the men that now hold themselves in readi- ness to join the army at the shortest notice shall be paid 2 pounds, 10 shill- ings per month for each month they shall be in actual service, twenty shillings to be paid in advance when called upon to march.
" May 1, 1782 .- Voted, that Mr. Sylvester Judd be a committee to hire one man for the Continental army."
In the late great war the town furnished sixty-eight men, a surplus of four over all demands. One was a commissioned officer. The town furnished $9,454.50 for the cause, exclusive of $2,341.99 which was subsequently re- imbursed by the state.
VILLAGES.
WESTHAMPTON, located in the central part of the town, has the town's only postoffice. This is but a hamlet, and is locally known as the " Center." The- postmaster is Erastus B. Pratt.

LOUDVILLE is a small village in the southeastern part of the town, but most of it, including the postoffice, lies in Northampton.
MANUFACTURES.
Henry M. Parsons's saw mill is on road 36, on a branch of the Manhan river. The mill was originally built by Solomon Warner, about forty years ago. He, after running it about a year, sold out to Aaron H. and H. M. Parsons. The power is sufficient for business the year round. Mr. Parsons put in, a few years ago, a circular-saw with improved carriage.
William E. Lyman's saw-mill, located on road 33. upon Sodom brook, a branch of Manhan river, was built by his father, Jesse Lyman, in 1839. It has a circular saw and the capacity for sawing 5,000 feet of lumber per day.
Amos D. Rice's tannery, located at the corner of roads 39 and 40, was carried on by his father about forty years. It is the only small tannery for miles around.
S. A. Phelps's vinegar manufactory, on road 282, was established by him in 1872. He has storage capacity for 300 barrels and turns out about sev- ty-five barrels per annum.
Charles N. Loud's saw-mill, on road 28g, was built and work commenced in it in 1869. It is run by water-power. He manufactures Sissons's patent clothes reels, tooth-powder boxes, and bobbins and quills. He employs five hands. He also contracts for furnishing and building, and manufactures lumber of all kinds.
Joseph D. Norton & Son have, on road 53, at Loudville, a manufactory for all kinds of wood-work. They employ five hands, their annual product being valued at $4,000.00. The works were established about forty years ago by the elder Norton.
CHURCH HISTORY.
Congregational church of Westhampton .- At the first town meeting the only other business than election of officers that came before the people was to secure the services of Rev. Enoch Hale to preach one-half the time at the house of Nathan Clark, and the other half at the house of Azariah Lyman. The church was organized September 1, 1779, by Rev. Solomon Williams, of Northampton, and Rev. Jonathan Judd, of Southampton, and Martin Clark and Reuben Wright were chosen deacons. Parson Hale was ordained its first minister September 29th of the same year, the service being held in an unfinished barn which stood close by where the barn of C. C. Bartlett now stands. Mr. Hale came from Coventry, Conn., and spent the remainder of his life here, dying at the age of eighty-four years, and the fifty-eighth year of his ministry. He was quite feeble for some years previous to his death, and Rev. Horace B. Chapin, from South Amherst, was installed as colleague pastor July 8, 1829, and was dismissed at his own request February 28, 1837.

Rev. Amos Drury, of Fair Haven, Vt., was settled June 28, 1837, and died at Pittsford, Vt., July 22, 1841. Rev. David Coggin, of Tewksbury, was ordained May 11, 1842, and died in Westhampton, April 28, 1852. Rev. Andrew Bigelow. of West Needam, was installed March 2, 1854, and was dismissed April 18, 1855. Rev. Roswell Foster, of Waltham, was installed November 10, 1856, and was dismissed December 28, 1858. Rev. Edwin Bissell, of Bolton, Conn., (now of Hartford Theological seminary) was or- dained September 21, 1859. He enlisted in the army in 1862, in company with several of his people, and entered the 52d Regt. of this State, Co. K, and was chosen captain of the company. He was dismissed from the pastor- ate May 10, 1864. During his absence in the army the pulpit was supplied by Rev. Jesse Brush. Rev. Thomas Allender, of New London, Conn .. was installed June 21, 1866, and died at New London, after a long and painful illness, September 17, 1869. Rev. Pliny F. Barnard, of Williamstown, Vt., was installed January 30, 1870, and was dismissed July 1, 1873. Rev. Joseph Lanman, of Lynn, was installed June 3, 1874, and dismissed September 11, 1876. Rev. Edwin S. Palmer, of Knoxville, Pa., was installed December 7, 1876, and was dismissed April 20, 1881. Rev. William C. Scofield, of Owe- go, N. Y., became the acting pastor October 1. 1881, and was released De- cember 7, 1884. Rev. Alwyn E. Todd, of Chester, became acting pastor January 1, 1886. In 1853 Rev. Stephen C. Strong, of Northampton, (grand- son of Gov. Caleb Strong) declined an invitation to settle, but supplied the place of pastor for some months.
In June, 1785, the first meeting house, 40x50 feet, was erected, and meet- ings were held in it, although it was not completed until some time after. The material for this building had been provided in 1779, but the contention over where it should be placed was so great that it did not find an abiding place in all these years. Tradition has it that the timbers were carried past Mr. Hale's house three times before it was allowed to assume the form of a building. This contention was a sore trial to the good parson, and it was due to his calm and patient bearing and influence that peace was the final out- come. At that time there came near being a separation of the north and south factions of the town over this vexed question. The house was finally located where the present church stands, being as near the geographical center of the town as it could be conveniently placed. It was taken down to make room for its successor in 1816, and a larger one was then built, being 70x50 feet. The building was said to be the finest church edifice in all the small towns of Western Massachusetts. This house was burned in February, 1829. Before the people went to their homes from the fire, they began to take meas- ures to rebuild, and during that year the building now standing was erected, being some ten feet shorter than its predecessor. In 1860 the house was remodeled to some extent, the high pulpit was replaced by a lower and more modern one, the front of the galleries was lowered, also the doors of the pews, and the walls were painted. About this time the old square steeple was sur-
ยท

mounted by a spire. In 1883 it was again extensively remodeled, at a cost of about $5,000.00, and the inside wholly changed. The gallery floor was extended over the whole, being now the floor of the main audience room up- stairs, the old lower floor divided into prayer room, ladies parlor, kitchen, library and dressing room. The organ is placed behind the pulpit, also the singers' seats, which are reached by a rear stairway, the pews put in circular form, the walls frescoed and floors newly carpeted, a new pulpit-set and chairs for the prayer room make it a very commodious and neat place of worship.
In 1828 and for several years after, the church was badly broken up and distressed by the secession of many of its members, who formed themselves into another church under the leadership of Rev. John Truair ; but all this is now fully healed over and those most interested in the other church came back to their first love. The members now number about 300. Mr. Truair soon after left the town. His only surviving children, J. G. K. and Thomas S., reside in Syracuse, N. Y.
Parson Hale, in his time, took great interest in the education of children in the public schools and so imbued the minds of the people with his senti- ments that they have since been generally willing to provide liberally for the support of schools. A large number for so small a population have entered institutions for higher learning and several have graduated from colleges.
On May 3, 1879, the church in Westhampton voted that Caleb Loud, R. W. Clapp, William E. Lyman and Deacon William E. Edwards, with the pastor, be a committee to consider the matter of arranging for a centennial celebration of the church, and to report at a future meeting. On the report being made, the same individuals, with the addition of D. S. Montague to their number, were instructed to arrange for such a celebration, and on the third of September following the meeting was held. In response to invitations issued to former members and others, several hundred people were gathered here from all quarters. Rev. Mr. Palmer, the pastor, made an address of welcome. Dr. Dorus Clark, of Boston, in his eighty-third year, delivered the historical address, which was listened to with great pleasure. Following this address the sacrament was administered, Rev. E. J. Montague and Luther Clapp, from the west, ministering at the table; Deacons Edwards and Mon- tague being assisted by Deacons E. Kingsley and E. C. Bridgman, of New York ; Elnathan Graves, of Williamsburg, and George L. Wright, of North- ampton. After this service the people gave their attention to the collation which had been prepared. E. M. Kingsley presided at table, and in re- sponse to his sentiments short speeches were made by Otis Clapp, Esq., of Boston, Rev. J. H. Bisbee, Rev. George Lyman, Rev. A. M. Colton, Rev. Luther Clapp, Rev. E. J. Montague and several others. Letters were read from others who were unable to attend, and as the memorable day was draw- ing to its close the people dispersed. William E. Lyman was president of the day.

TOWN OF WILLIAMSBURG.
W ILLIAMSBURG lies in the northern-central part of the county, and is bounded north by the county line, east by Hatfield and the county line, south by Northampton and Westhampton, and west by Goshen and Chesterfield. It was originally granted by the general court to Hatfield, a strip of country six miles long and three miles wide. The details of this grant are given in connection with the history of Chesterfield.
Occupying a pleasant location on the eastern slope of the Green Moun- tains, with a delightful climate and a beautifully diversified surface, Williams- burg is all that the lover of the beautiful in nature could desire. The gen- eral slope of the surface is south and west, and the whole town is drained by Mill river and its tributaries. The soil is warm and fertile, the land being excellent for pasturage, meadow, tillage and fruit. The land originally was heavily timbered with chestnut, hickory, walnut, oak, pine, rock-maple, hem- lock, beech, cherry and sycamore, interlaced with grape vines and small fruits, including plums, blackberries, raspberries, whortleberries, strawberries, etc .; and now when cultivated, the apple, pear, peach, plum, grapes and berries flourish in abundant perfection. With wild animals the forests abounded. The bear, wolfe, moose, panther, deer, raccoon, beaver, otter, mink, sable, ermine, muskrat, black and red fox, rabbit, hare, elk, woodchuck, black, gray, red, ground and flying squirrels, and lynx and wild-cat were nu- merous. Brook trout were also plentiful in all the streams and were taken with the greatest ease.
The surface of the township, so charmingly diversified with hill and dale, presents landscape views unequaled. From many of the high hills in the north and west portions of the town, the whole valley of the Connecticut river, with Mount Holyoke and Mount Tom, are taken in at a glance, ex- tending more than seventy miles up and down that noble stream. The church towers of many houses of worship may be seen at one view, besides mead- ows, fields, houses, forests and villages, which, combined, make up a pano- rama worthy of the pencil of the most skillful artist. Let one spend but a brief period of time among the hills of this town, in the warm season, and his mind will be stored with abundant diversities of nature in most of her charming forms. So well appreciated have the country retreats which the many old homesteads of the substantial people of the town become, that numbers of the natives of the place, whom business interests have called to localities far distant, yearly return to the scenes of their early life, with their families and acquaintances, to recruit in the bracing air, the unequaled wa- ters and the unsurpassed scenery of this rural home. To them, wherever they go, there is " no place like home." Of late years the city stranger, too, has found his way thither each season.
Settlement and Growth .- It is generally conceded that the first settler upon the present territory of Williamsburg was John Miller, a "mighty hunter," who came on from Northampton in 1735 and located on the hill northwest of the present village of Haydenville. Here he spent many years alone, hunting and
471
TOWN OF WILLIAMSBURG.
trapping. In 1752 he was joined by Samuel Fairfield, who built a hotel on the military road that had recently been built through the town. But the settle- ment thus begun progressed slowly. It must be remembered that the terri- tory was a part of Hatfield, and the dangers from Indians the early settlers underwent is well set forth in the history of that town. The infant settlement at what is now Hatfield village was in a sense garrisoned and fortified, hence it is not to be expected that settlers would get far away from it till after the cessation of Indian alarms in 1759. The general period of settlement is assigned then between the years 1760-71, the district being incorporated dur- ing the latter year.
In 1772 the assessment list of the town shows the following residents, it being impossible to state chronologically the order of their settle- ment : Russell Kellogg, Elijah Wait, Joshua Warner, Jonathan Warner, George Andrews, William Dunton, Benjamin Blanchard, Joseph Tory, Will- iam Stephenson, Joel Warner, Paul Warner, Downing Warner, Jr., Smith Kennett, Mather Warren, Joseph Warren, Abner Cole, Samuel Fairfield, Amos Truesdell, John Wait, Samuel Day, John Nash, Elisha Nash, William Reed, Asa Thayer, Richard Church, John Meekins, Samuel Hontanton, Dan- iel May, Joseph Cary, John Burroughs, Silas Billings, Seth Tubbs, Daniel Hollis, William Bodman, James Smith, Simeon White, Thomas Lothing, Enoch Thayer, Ezra Strong, Thomas Warren, Seth Pomeroy, Josiah Pome- roy, John Miller, Seth Graves, Perez Graves, Silas Graves, James Porter, Thomas Fenton, Caleb Conant, Jesse Wild, Josiah Hadlock, Joshua Thayer, Andrew Gates, Asa Ludden, Ezra Ludden, Thomas Flow, Josiah Dwight, Anson Cheesman, Samuel Patridge, Simeon Burroughs, David Burroughs, Lucy Hubbard, Ebenezer Hill, Ichabod Hemenway, Abijah Hunt, Josiah Hadlock, Jr., Hezekiah Reed, Gaius Crafts, George Dunn, Thomas Fance, Ebenezer Paine, Thomas French, Lemuel Barber, Abel Thayer, Thomas Fenton, Jr., Benjamin Reed, Joseph Ludden, Lucy Ludden, Thomas Spaf- ford, Jonathan Wolcott, Jonathan Wolcott, Jr., Thomas Meekins, Amasa Graves, Seth Hastings, Nehemiah Cleaveland, William Guilford, Asaph Wales, Eleazer Root, Aaron Hemenway, James Ludden, Seth Ludden, Asa Brown, Joseph Janes, James Janes, William Fenton, Thomas Beebe, Thomas Loring, Moses Carley, Josiah Hayden, Thomas How, Amasa Frost, Nathan Frost, Sampson Hill, Alexander Miller, Samuel French, Jacob Paine, Levi Ludden, Samuel Bagley, Edward Curtis, James Bangs, William Wales, Isaac Phinney and Benjamin Hadlock.
