1664. It was a stormy, quarrelsome period, while the New Haven jurisdiction was giving way to the Connecticut charter, and Dr. Rossiter's opposition, doubtless partly inspired by the fact that Mr. Bowers succeeded better than his own son-in-law, Mr. Cotton, made his position all the harder. At a town meeting, November 10, 1661, Mr. Rossiter objected against Mr. Bowers continuing here as a tem- porary supply as formerly unless he would serve as cheap as any would in that way, and that the full period of his time might be pre- fixed, making further objection against the writing made between the freeman with some others, and Mr. Bowers, for his continuing here in that work. He was first pastor of the Derby church, where he continued until his death. June 14. 1687. He married Bridget Thompson.
