Historical Sketch of Norfolk.
Taken from Norfolk County History.
The greater portion of the present town of Norfolk was originally the North Parish of Wrentham, and the early history of the town, Revolution- ary, etc., will be found in that of the mother-town, of which it formed a part until 1870.
Settlements were made here at an early day, and among the prominent names here in 1795 were David Holbrook, Josiah Ware, Moses Mann, Samuel Richardson, James Holbrook, Asa Ware, Elisha Rockwood, Jason Thompson, Darius Blake, Nathan Ware, George Blin, Jacob Pond, Daniel Ware, Elisha Ware, James Perrigs, Asa Blake, George Fairbanks, David Holbrook, Robert Day, Isaiah Turner, Jared Wilson, David Pond, E. Tucker, Jeremiah Tucker, Samuel Ware, Pallu Pond, Samuel Holbrook, Daniel Holbrook jr., Henry Holbrook, Paul Holbrook, Oliver Ware, Joel Ware, Moses Vince, Amariah Ware, Consider Studly, Jason Richardson, Seth Fisher, and Ebenezer Blake.
On the 29th of September, 1795, a meeting of the inhabitants of the North Parish was held " for the purpose of knowing the minds of said inhabitants for building a meeting-house for public and social worship at said north end."
It was finally agreed to build a meeting-house, and a subscription-paper was started bearing the following heading :
" As the Happiness of Society and good order and preservation of our- selves, as well as a rising Generation, greatly depend on a close adherance to morality, piety, and Religion, and these Cannot be Difussed in our Local situation but by the Institution of Public Worship of God, and the Institution of morality, piety, and Religion, therefore to promote the happiness of ourselves as well as the rising Generation, we, the subscribers, do jointly agree to the subsequent articles."
Here follows a number of articles, and the paper was subsequently signed by thirty-eight of the inhabitants, pledging twelve hundred and forty-four dollars.
