MINISTRY AND SCHOOL LOTS. Page 81.
Dr. S. F. Merrick says, in his address, 1831, that the ministry and school lots were leased for nine hundred and ninety-nine years because they could not be sold. This is a mistake. They were sold. But they were leased year by year, before they were sold. I have before me a deed given to Oliver Bliss by a committee chosen by the town to sell a portion of the Ministry Lot, in the Second Division, making part of the farm of the late John Bliss. The deed is dated Feb. 29, 1776, and conveyed all " the land between the main and middle road," a strip " Thirty-seven Rods and four foots wide." Bliss agreed to pay " the sum of one Hun- dred and Twenty Two Pounds Ten Shillings Lawfull Money " for the Land. I have another deed, given to Jonathan Miriek, June 8, 1772, of a por- tion of the Ministry Lot in the Third Division, extending from the top of the mountain east of Mr. William V. Sessions's to the middle road. The " consideration " was " forty-one Pounds nine Shillings and Sixpence."
The school lands were leased for 1768, as follows : "To James Eddy £0.3.0; To Sam1 Glover £0.12.0; To Isaiah Chaffee £0.4. 0; to Amos Chaffee &0. 4. 0 ; To John Bliss £0. 6. 0: Total £1. 9. 0."
A considerable portion of the ministry lands were sold in 1772; for in that year the committee chosen to sell the lands delivered to the town " nine bonds for Money on Interest Due to said town on acconnt of the sale of the Ministry Lands so far as they have sold of the same," viz : -

In April 1769, it was voted "that the Comtee which was chosen to Sell or Lease the School Lands in this town shall Sell or Lease the same in such manner as is most for the Interest and Benefit of this Town and according to their best skill and Judgement and that they give to the Pur- chasers good Title of or to the same by Lease or deed on behalf of this Town on conditions following (viz) that the purchaser or Purchasers shall at Bargaining for said Lands pay the Cost for the same, or find two good Sureties with themselves who shall be firmly Bound for Sure payment. further Voted * * * that said Committee make report of their doings to some future Meeting."
There is an article in the warrant for a meeting, Jan. 1, 1770, " to receive the Report of the Comtee which was chosen to lease or sell the School Lands." Their report is not recorded ; but a committee is chosen " to take care of the money which the School Lands were sold for, and to see to it that the same is safe and that the Interist of the same be paid yearly and lodged in the town treasury," etc.
In the same year an easement is made to Samuel Warner on the sum which he paid " for a part of the School Land since Warner purchased of the Town," etc. And finally it is said that the " Ministry Lands " were disposed of on the same conditions as the "School Lands." They were sold, not leased.

ANCESTRY OF REV. NOAH MERRICK, ETC.
Thomas Mirick (as the name was then spelled) is said to have come from Wales through Roxbury and Hartford, and settled on the south side of Agawam River, in what is now called West Springfield. He married, July 7, 1639, Sarah, daughter of Rowland Stebbins, and for a second wife, 1653, Elizabeth Tilley, by whom he had James, 1670, the father of Noah, born August 6, 1711, the first minister of Wilbraham. Noah

graduated at Yale College, 1731. Nothing more is known of him till 1735. Where he studied theology I am unable to discover. I find an appropriation of £5. 10s. made for his preaching " two Sabbaths and one Thanksgiving " in Springfield, 1735, entered April 24th in the Records, and another, entered Feb., 1736, " for preaching two Sabbaths, £4." This was before the settlement of Rev. Mr. Breck. This is all I can learn of his history before his name appears on the records of Wilbraham. After his settlement here he was married, October, 1744, to Mrs. Abigail Brainard, widow of the Rev. Mr. Brainard, of Eastbury, Ct., and daugh- ter of Rev. Phineas Fisk, of Haddam. He was called to attend councils and ordinations in adjoining towns and parishes. He was at John Mc- Kinstry's ordination as first minister in Chicopee, September 27, 1752. He preached from Matthew x. 16, at the fast held before the ordination of Joseph Lathrop, August 18, 1756, and he offered a prayer at the ordina- tion, August 25. There were at this time but nine churches in the county, and but seven had pastors. Mr. Merrick attended the ordination of Syl- vanus Griswold, first pastor of the second church in West Springfield, called Feeding Hills, November 17, 1762. The following entry in the journal of Dr. Samuel F. Merrick, his son, dated " Dec. 22, 1776." gives an account of Rev. Mr. Merrick's death and funeral : -
This day departed this life my Hond Father in the 66th year of his age & 36th of his ministry (if I mistake not) he having laboured under great bodily infirmities for many years & for about eleven months had not been able to preach at all, he declined gradually till the 21st instant a little before nine at night he was taken senseless and motionless. he lay in that situation till the next day, being Sun- day, a little before three P. M. he closed his eyes in death & launched into the eternal world & left his wife and children to mourn for the loss of so good a Hus- band and Parent * His body was decently interred the Wendsday following when a sermon suitable to the ocation was preached by the Rev. Mr. Breek of Springfield from those words in 2 Corinthians 4:7, we have the treasure in earthen vessels.
