HISTORY OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

river commonly known by Mendon Mill River home to Mendon line aforesaid."

On that part of the territory of Mendon which is now Milford the first allotment of land seems to have been made to Benjamin " Alby," in 1664, and con- sisted of an acre for a mill-lot. In 1670 a twenty-acre house-lot was laid out to John Sprague, near " Albee's " mill-lot. On this lot the first dwelling- house, in what is now Milford was built. Not long after the settlers began to move into the territory in consi- derable numbers. Among the earliest were Seth Chapin, John Jones, Ebenezer and Joseph Sumner, William Cheney, Benjamin Wheaton, Jonathan Hayward and his nephew, Jonathan, and Thomas White. The affairs of the town were conducted smoothly until after the incorporation of Uxbridge, in 1727, which was set off from Mendon, and somewhat disturbed the territorial equilibrium. The project of a new meeting-house was started, and became, as in many other towns before, a fruitful source of dissen- sion. The result was that the Mill River dissentients from the action of the First Church, on the 15th of April, 1741, "with the assistance of the elders and messengers of the church of Hopkinton and the church of Holliston, solemnly framed themselves into a church state by signing a church covenant." In the following November the following petition was presented to the General Court :

To his Excellency William Shirley, Esq., Capt .- General and Governor- in-Chief io and over his Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay, &c .; and to the IIonble, the Council and the House of Representatives of said Province in General Court assembled this 25th d. of November, 1741.

The petition of sundry inhabitants of the town of Meodon in said Province hereunto subscribing, Humbly sheweth : That the said Town of Mendon, in answer to a petition of sundry inhabitants on the Easterly side of Mill River in said Town, did, at their meeting on Sep- tember the 22, 1741, vote their consent That the lands in said Township lying on the Easterly side of Mill River to the County road by Shef- field's Mill, then bounding on said road to Bellingham and bounding on Bellingham, Holliston and Hopkinton, with all the lands and inhabit- ants who dwell on these lands within said lines, be a distinct and sepa- rate Township; that the lands set off by the Town as aforesaid, with the polls and estates rateable to the support of the ministry and being within said boundaries, are not (your petitioners conceive) more than about one-third part of said Town, considered in respect to polls and estates ; that there are five families on the westerly side of Mill River who choose to congregate with your petitioners and to be laid to them, whose lands, also, at least some of them, will be much incoinmoded by remain- ing to the old Town; which families, if added to your petitioners, will, as your petitioners hope, render their charge of maintaining the gospel possible.

Your petitioners are nevertheless humbly of opinion that it would be more conducive to the peace and welfare of the whole that your peti- tioners and others within the Bounds aforesaid, with the addition of those few families, be created a precinct, rather than a separate Township, and that the Ministry of both the Churches and Congregations in said Town may be supported by a Joint Stock, and every one attend the pub- lic ministry that is most convenient and agreeable.

Your petitioners humbly pray your Excellency and the Honble Court that the Inhabitants of Mendon dwelling on the Easterly side of Mill River and adjoining as aforesaid to Bellingham, Holliston and Hopkin- ton, with their lands in said Township, together with other lands on the Westerly side of said River up to & Road called the Eight Rod Road, and including Nathan Tyler's house and lands up to Upton line, may be created a separate Town in a separate precioct, or that the public Minis- try of both the Churches and Congregations in the Town of Mendon be supported by a Tax or Assessment upon the whole Town, as your Excel-

lency and Ilonors shall judge mnost meet and convenient. And your pe- tioners shall ever pray, i.e.

In response to this petition the following order was passed December 23, 1741 :

A Petition of John Jones, and a considerable number of others, in- habitants of the Town of Mendon, Praying that the Petitioners, with their families and Estates, within the Bounds expressed in the Petition, be erected into a separate Town or Precioct.

In the House of Representatives, Read again together with the an- swer of the Town of Mendon thereupon, and voted the prayer of the Petition be so far granted as that the Inhabitants of Mendon, with their Estates lying on the Easterly side of Mill River, and bounded by said Rivers-Bellingham, Hopkinton and Holliston, including the Families with the Estates on the west side of said River to the Eight Rod road, as expressed and described in the Petition, together with Nathan Tyler and his laods, Samuel Rawson, Daniel Lovel, William Hayward, Thomas White, Daniel White, William Hovey, Josiah Ad- ams, Benjamin Green, Samuel Green and Ebenezer Albee, with their Estates in the old or standing part of said Town, or so many of theol as shall join the Petitioners in building a Meeting-House and settling a Minister be, and hereby are, erected into a distinct and separate Pre- cinct ; and that the Inhabitants thereof be invested with the same powers and Privileges as other Precincts do enjoy, saving, nevertheless, that Jonathan Hayward, John Green, Obadiah Wheelock, James Albee, Joseph Corhet, Thomas Beard, Benjamin Albee, James Albee, Jr., John Kilburn, John Green, Jr., Ebenezer Wheelock, William Sprague, Joseph Rockwood, Jonathan Hayward, John Hayward, Wm. Spragne, Jr., and John White, living within the above-mentioned honnds, or 80 many of them as shall desire it, together with their Estates, may con- tinne to the standing part of said Town so long as they attend the pub- lic worship there in a stated way and no longer, Provided that the said Inhabitants 60 set off shall, within the space of two years from this time, erect a convenient Meeting-House and settle a learned Orthodox Minister for the public worship of God.

On the 18th of January, 1742, or according to old style, 1741-42, a meeting was held at the house of Sylvanus Nelson, and the precinct was organized, at which Daniel Taft presided, and the following offi- cers were chosen : William Cheney, Jr., clerk; Capt. Daniel Lovett, Ensign, Nathan Tyler; Deacon, Na- thaniel Nelson ; Jonathan Hayward, Jr., and John Jones, Jr., precinct committee. A committee was appointed at a meeting held on the 26th of January to select a site for a meeting-house, consisting of Deacon Ebenezer Reed, of Uxbridge, Deacon Thomas Marshall, of Holliston, and Elder Joseph Haven, of Hopkinton. On the 18th of March John Jones, of Hopkinton, and Ebenezer Littlefield, of Hollis-

ton, were added to the committee, and on the 13th of April the committee rendered the following de- cision :

We are of opinion That the Kuowl or Rising Ground at the Country Road leading from Holliston to Meudon, where the Cross Roads meet which comes from Habijab Freuch's, and on the southwesterly corner of Joseph Summer's Lot in said Mendon Easterly Precinct, is the best place for a Meeting-House to etand oo, aad will accommodate the In- habitants of said Precinct with the families in the standing part of Mendon, viz. : Josiah Adams, Benjamin Green and Samuel Rawson.

With only a slight change, the meeting-house was built on the spot designated by the committee, and Rev. Amariah Frost was ordained December 21, 1742, only two days within the time specified in the act of incorporation. Mr. Frost was a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1740. The precinct thus formed was generally known as the "Easterly Pre- cinct of Mendon," and the church was designated "the second church of Christ in Mendon." After the incorporation of the precinct as a town in 1780, the name of the church was changed to " The First Church of Christ in Milford."

But the people of the precinct were not many years contented with a separation in the ministry alone from the old town. As early as 1753 a move- ment was hegun, and though encountering opposition it never subsided until its purpose was accomplished. Finally at a town-meeting held on the 1st of March, 1779, the town agreed to a separation, and a confer- ence committee was appointed representing the three precincts then existing, of which Jonathan Jones, Seth Nelson and Ichabod Thayer were members on the part of the Easterly or Second Precinct. The conference committee on the 3d of May, 1779, came to an agreement of which the following is the text :

ARTICLE Ist. That the Meadow or land usually flowed by the Mill Pond formerly occupied by Lieutenant William Sheffield, on the aortb side of the Country Road, belonging to said Towu, shall still remain and continue the property of said Town of Mendon, although said Sec- oud Precinct should become a separate Town ; and in case said Town of Mendon sbonld have occasion to Eject Jeramiah Kelley, the present oc- cupier of said Pond, or any other person or persons, who may hereafter occupy said lands, from the possession of said Premises, or they shall not keep a good Grist-Mill in repair at or near the Premises, agreeable to the original agreement between said Town aud Matthias Puffer and David How,-then the said Second Preciact, although they should be- come a separate Towo, shall have the three-eighth parts of what said Town of Mendon shall recover, they, the said Second Precinct, paying the three-eighth parts of the cost and charge that may arise in recover- ing the same.

ARTICLE 2d. Agreed, that the said Second Precinct draw their equal proportion of the School Money, according to the Valuation of the said Town: also, one-third part of the Ministry money belonging to the said Town : also, their equal proportion of the said Town's stock of Arms and Ammunition.

3d. Agreed, that the said Second Precinct take their equal proportion of the Poor maintained by the Town, according to the Tax said Pre- cinct pays; and also, after said Precinct is set off as a separate Town, there shall be any Poor seat to this Town from proper au- thority to be maintained by this Town, and it shall appear that the per- sons so brought were the usual or original Inhabitants of the said Sec- ond Precinct, then the said Second Precinct shall receive and maintain them as their Poor.

4thly. That the said Second Preciact pay their equal proportion of all the charges that have [arisen]or chall arise within the Town of Mendou prior to their being incorporated as a separate Town, of whatever name or nature,

5thly. That if there appears to be a surplusage of money, over and above paying all the Town's debts aod charges, when they, the said Second Precinct, shall become a separata Town, then the said Second Precinct to draw their equal proportion, according to their Valuation.

A committee was appointed to draw a petition to the General Court, consisting of Captain Gershom Nelson, Jonathan Jones and Ichabod Thayer, Jr., and in respouse to their petition the following act of incorporation was passed by the General Court :

HISTORY OF WORCESTER COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

Dorr, of Mendon, issued his warrant, dated April 25; 1780, for a meeting of the town of Milford, to be held on the 1st day of May, 1780, at the meeting-house, and at said meeting Joseph Dorr was chosen moder- ator ; Caleb Cheney, clerk ; and Lieut. Jesse Whitney, Caleb Cheney, Warfield Hayward, Ebenezer Read and Stephen Albee, selectmen; and Caleb Cheney, treasurer; Lieut. Jesse Whitney, Caleb Cheney, Warfield Hayward, Ebenezer Read and Stephen Albee were chosen Committee of Correspondence ; Adam Chapin, Ichabod Thayer, Jr. and Moses Chapin, assessors; Joseph Cady and Obadiah Ward, con- stables ; Jonathan Jones and Josiah Chapin, surveyors of highways for the First District ; Levi Thayer and Samuel Davis, for the Second District ; Boyce Kim- ball, for the Third District ; Dr. Elias Parkman, for the Fourth District ; Captain Gershom Nelson and Captain Samuel Warren, tything-men ; Capt. Ichabod Thayer, Jr., Oliver Daniell and Joseph Jones, Jr., fence- viewers; Captain Gershom Nelson, sealer of lumber ; Jesse Hayward, sealer of leather ; Amos Shepherdson, Nathaniel Saunders, Caleb Boynton, Jr., and Ephraim Hayward, hog-reeves ; and Deacon Abijah French, deer-reeve. At this time the population of the town was about seven hundred and fifty. It had just · passed with its mother town through the Revolution- ary War and was in a reduced state in its financial condition, and, with the exception of one or two grist and saw and, perhaps, fulling-mills, had no industry in which its people could be employed beside that of agriculture. During the Shays' Rebellion in 1786 it remained loyal to the Government, but was so far impressed with the burdens which caused it as to be opposed to extreme measures against those who were engaged in it. On the 27th of January, 1787, after its suppression, its people voted in town-meeting "to send a petition to the General Court that those who have heretofore arisen to oppose the sitting of the Courts of Justice in several counties of this Common- wealth, and all those who are now under arms in opposition to the authority of the same, on condition they shall disperse and return to their several homes, and behave themselves peaceably in future, may not be molested in their persons or property in consequence of what they have heretofore done."

The affairs of the precinct, which, by the act of in- corporation, had become a town, went smoothly on until the death of Mr. Frost, on the 11th of March, 1792. After an interval of about eight years an in- vitation was extended to Rev. David Long to settle as pastor, with a settlement of one hundred and fifty ponnds, payable one-half in one year and one-half in two years, and an annual salary of eighty pounds. His ordination took place May 20, 1801, on a stage erected in the open air, and a large number of clergy- men took part in the services. During his pastorate, which continued until his resignation, in 1844, a new meeting-house was erected. In 1819 the precinct reorganized itself, according to the forms of law, as a

parish, and, in opposition to the claim of the town that the meeting-house was a municipal possession, demolished the old structure and built a new one on its site. On the 15th of November the parish ac- cepted the house from the architect, and, by the sale of pews, raised a fund more than sufficient to defray its cost. On the 25th of November the meeting-house was dedicated.

Rev. Smith Bartlett Goodenow, the next pastor, was installed October 20, 1844, and dismissed January I 1846. He was followed by Rev. Preston Bird, who was installed May 24, 1849, and dismissed February 16, 1852. Rev. James Trask Woodbury succeeded and served from his installation, July 15, 1852, until his death, January 16, 1861. The successor of Mr. Woodbury was Rev. Alfred A. Ellsworth, who was ordained September 4, 1862, and dismissed June 28, 1865. Rev. James B. Thornton, who succeeded Mr. Ellsworth, was installed November 22, 1865, and resigned January 28, 1868. Rev. Sylvester C. Ken. dall followed, and served five years from his installa- tion, August 5, 1868, until his dismissal, June 12 1873. Rev. Dr. Merrill Richardson was installed June 12, 1873, and died December 12, 1877, being succeeded by Rev. Oliver S. Dean, who was installed September 20, 1877. The present pastor is Rev. Webster Woodbury, who was preceded by Rev. Charles L. Wetherby. In 1867 and 1868 the meeting. house of the parish was removed to the present site, and enlarged and remodeled. Its dedication occurred on the evening of the day of the installation of Rev. Mr. Kendall, August 5, 1868. The cost of the im- provements, with a new organ, was a little in excess of twenty-six thousand dollars.

During the life of the Second Precinct only the Congregational Society existed within its limits. In 1781, the first year of the incorporated town, Univer- salism made its appearance and Rev. Adams Streeter began to preach, holding services once a month. The earliest members of the Universalist Society appeal to have been Samuel French, Noah Wiswall, Ebenezer Sumner, John Claflin, Caleb Boynton, Samnel Bowker Ebenezer Wheelock, Ebenezer Sumner, Jr., Nahum Clark and David French. Meetings were held in the houses of the several members of the society, and Mr. Streeter continued his regular monthly ministra- tions until his death, September 22, 1786. On the 28th of December, 1787, the society formally adopted and subscribed a religious compact, but had no regular preaching until May 31, 1790. At that date Rev. Zephaniah Lathe was engaged for monthly services and continued his engagement until 1797, and was fol- lowed until 1821 by Rev. Joshua Flagg, Rev. Nathaniel Smith, Rev. Richard Carrique, Rev. Caleb Rich and others. During the year 1820 a brick church was erected, and dedicated January 10, 1821. The society was in- corporated December 6, 1824. The succession of minis- ters as given by Mr. Ballou, in his valuable " History of Milford," has been as follows: Rev. Thomas Whitte-

Baker, 1838; Rev. William Bell, 1841-42 ; Rev. William R. G. Mellin, 1843 ; Rev. Benjamin H. Davis, 1844-46; Rev. William Coe, 1847 ; Rev. Willard Spaulding, 1848; Rev. Henry A. Eaton, 1849-53; Rev. David H. Plumb, 1853-54; Rev. James R. Johnson, 1855-60; Rev. George Hill, 1860-65; Rev. Russell P. Ambler, 1865-66; Rev. Gerherdus L. Demarest, 1867-73; Rev. Edward A. Perry, 1873-78; Rev. Royal T. Sawyer, 1878. The present pastor is Rev. Samuel A, Gardner. On the 2d of March, 1850, a church organization was formed within the society, and during the winter of 1850 and 1851 the meeting-house in which the society now worships was erected, and dedicated May, 1851, on which occasion Rev. Hosea Ballou preached the sermon.

A Methodist Society was organized in the North School-honse August 28, 1811. There had been occa- sional preaching in the north part of the town since 1792, and at various times Rev. George Cannon, Rev. John Harper, Rev. George Pickering, Rev. Joseph Snelling, Rev. Joshua Soute and Rev. Nehemiah Coy had officiated. In 1815 a meeting-house was built near the North Purchase School-house, as it stood at that time, but after a few years the society languished, and in 1860 the meeting-honse was burned. After 1811 the succession of ministers appears to have been : Rev. Isaac Bonney, 1811-18; Rev. Erastus Otis, 1820 -22; Rev. Hezekiah Thatcher, 1823; Rev. Herman Perry, 1825; Rev. Thomas W. Tucker, 1826; Rev. O. Robbins, 1833; Rev. Alexander T. Temple, 1835; Rev. Nathaniel Spindel, 1836; Rev. John Dale, 1837 -38; Rev. Lorenzo Johnson, 1839; Rev. Thomas Johnson, 1839; Rev. William Tozer, 1840-43; and others.

In 1836 the Methodists of the central village were permitted to occupy the Town Hall for religions ser- vices. A society was organized in 1844, and in 1849 a meeting-house and parsonage were built, the latter at the expense of Lee Claflin, a brother in the church. In 1864 the meeting-house was enlarged and im- proved. The succession of ministers has been : Rev. Henry E. Hempstead, 1846-47; Rev. Joseph Whit- man, 1848-49; Rev. C. W. Ainsworth, 1850-51; Rev. Albert A. Cooke, 1851; Rev. Isaac Smith, 1852-53; Rev. Aaron D. Sargeant, 1854-55; Rev. Daniel Rich- ards, 1856; Rev. J. M. Baily, 1857-58; Rev. George G. Jones, 1859-60; Rev. Edward S. Best, 1861-62; Rev. Joseph Scott, 1863-65; Rev. William G. Leon- ard, 1866 ; Rev. Lazarus Crowell, 1867-68; Rev. Wil- liam H. Hatch, 1869-71; Rev. Rodney H. Howard, 1872-75 ; Rev. Porter M. Vinton, 1875-77 ; Rev. Geo. F. Eaton, 1877; Rev. Charles Young, 1880. The present pastor is Rev. Charles Tilton.

Though there are evidences of the existence of those holding to the Baptist faith in Milford as early

as 1785, no Baptist Society was organized until Febru- ary 15, 1853. The Pine Street Baptist Church was recognized by an ecclesiastical council on the 10th of March, on which occasion a sermon was preached by Rev. N. Colver. Rev. J. W. Russell was the first pastor, and remained until October 22, 1854. On the 29th of August, 1855, Rev. Levi A. Abbott was or- dained, and continued his services until April, 1858. Rev. Horace G. Hubbard was ordained September 22, 1858, and left July 16, 1859. Rev. Joseph Ricker followed Jannary 1, 1861, and remained untit 1865. During his pastorate the meeting-house of the so- ciety was built and dedicated July 18, 1861. Mr. Ricker was followed in short pastorates by Rev. Mr. Paige, Rev. Wm. Carr and Rev. Mr. Reding, until 1874, when Rev. Julius B. Robinson was settled, and continued his services until June, 1879. On the 19th of September, 1879, Rev. E. A. Woodsum was or- dained, on which occasion Rev. Dr. O. S. Stearns, of the Newton Theological Institution, preached the sermon. The successors of Mr. Woodsum have been Rev. Spencer H. Albert and the present pastor, Rev. R. W. Farr.
