"CARD.

"Enoch and Richard Hale, having, with their families, commenced living in their new dwelling, erected principally by the liberality of their friends, beg leave publicly to express their gratitude for the truly Christian munificence which they have experienced to a very large extent. May the all-gracious God be pleased to repay earthly favors with spiritnal blessings, and cause that they who water he also watered themselves !

" WESTHAMPTON, Fcb. 12, 1817."

ORGANIZATION.

In the period of pioneer settlement, extending from 1762 to 1778, a population of sufficient numbers had been seenred to warrant a separate town organization, and the necessary steps were taken to procure the assent of the General Court. The name of Westhampton seems to have been adopted by common consent, and was an appropriate name, as the territory to which it applied had been the west part of Northampton. The act of incorporation was passed Sept. 29, 1778.

The records of the town have been kept in a clear and accu- rate manner from the first year of the town organization. They are in excellent preservation, reflecting the highest credit upon the care, competency, and fidelity of the various town clerks through a period of one hundred years. They embody a large amount of valuable historical material. The first volume opens with the act of incorporation, approved by the Governor of the commonwealth, Sept. 29, 1778.

In pursuance of the act there follows the warrant for the first town-meeting, signed by Caleb Strong, Esq., of North- ampton, requiring Abner Claflin, "one of the principal in- habitants of the town of Westhampton," to notify and warn the freeholders to attend the first town-meeting, to be held at the house of Nathan Clark, on Thursday, the 19th day of November, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, to choose town offi- cers, and also to determine whether the said town will request Mr. Ilale to continue to preach in said town.

The following is the record of the first town-meeting :

At a legal meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants of Westhampton, on the nineteenth day of November, 1778, in the first place Caleb Strong, Esq., was chosen moderator. The town then proceeded to the choice of town officers for the remainder of the present year, when the following persons were chosen to the offices annexed to their names respectively : Sylvester Judd, Clerk ; Deacon Martin Clark, Treasurer; Mr. John Smith, Capt. William Bartlett, John Baker, Selectmen ; John Parsons, Ephraim Wright, Surveyors of Highways; Azariah Lyman, Tythingman ; John Smith, Warden ; Abner Claflin, Constable.

The town then proceeded to consider the clause in the warrant, whether the town will request Mr. Hale to continue to preach in said town, upon which the town voted to choose a committee of three persons to procure Mr. Hale or some other person to preach in the said town four Sabbaths after the term is expired

for which Mr. Hale is engaged. The town then chose Messrs. Martin Clark, Azariah Lyman, and Sylvester Judd to be the said committee; also voted that the said committee be desired to request the gentlemen whom they shall obtain to preach the four Sabbaths above mentioned to preach two of the Sabbaths at the house of Nathan Clark, and the other two at the house of Azariah Lyman.

Attest : CALEB STRONG, Moderator.

A second meeting followed in a few days, pursuant to a warrant issued by the newly-chosen selectmen, of which the following is the record :

At a legal meeting held at the house of Azariah Lyman, on the 24th of No- vember, 1778, in the first place chose John Smith moderator. The town then voted to allow the surveyor's accounts in the manner following : for a man and team, four dollars a day ; for a man, two dollars a day ; for cart or plow, half a dollar a day for summer work, and nine shillings per day for a man for fall work ; and other work in proportion. Also voted that the surveyors proportion the team work according to the goodness thereof; also voted to allow twenty shillings a hundred for good plank.

Voted that the town treasurer and town clerk procure what books are neces- sary for their respective offices.

Voted to raise four hundred pounds to defray the present debt and to defray the town expenses for the ensning year.

After long debate as to whether the meeting-house, to be hereafter erected, should be located at the centre of the township, or as near as the nature of the land would permit, a vote was passed to that effect.

A vote to reconsider was, however, passed, and then it was decided to appoint a committee from neighboring towns to propose a site for the meeting-house, and Col. Bonney, of Chesterfield, Deacon Nash, of South Hadley, and Col. Day, of Springfield, were requested to act. A committee to provide for and attend this " outside" committee was named, consisting of Jonathan Wales, Zachariah Curtis, and Sylvester Judd. Voted to request the gentlemen from abroad to attend to this matter as soon as possible.

Attest : JOHN SMITH, Moderator.

At another meeting, November 30th, the action of the 24th was reconsidered. This meeting was held at the house of Nathan Clark, but "removed" during its session to " Mr. Tyler's stock-yard." Voted that the "centre of the land" should be considered as the place for a meeting-house, or as near as the same will admit. And a committee, consisting of John Smith, John Baker, Ebenezer Clark, Noah Strong, John Bullard, and Elijah Tyler, were instructed to report a place for the meeting-house, but were required to conform to the vote in favor of the centre. Really, they were to find the centre of the town. These votes show the opening of the controversy, the settlement of which appears in the sketch of the church.

At the regular town-meeting, March 8, 1779, besides the officers given elsewhere, there were chosen Azariah Lyman and John Baker, Constables ; Nathan Clark and Joseph Kings- ley, Tythingmen ; Elijah Tyler, Ebenezer French, Wardens ; David Parsons, Jonathan Clark, Epaphras Clark, John Eliot, Hog-reeves ; Zachariah Curtis, Amasa Strong, Aaron Fisher, Seth Burk, Surveyors of Highways; Noah Edwards, Levi - Post, Fence-viewers.

A town-meeting was held June 25, 1779, at the house of Elisha Chilson.

The warrant for a town-meeting, to be held Sept. 25, 1786, contained the following clanse : " To see if the town will con- sider the distressing calamities of public affairs, and direct their representative to attend the General Court." This was during the pressure of the " hard times" that were the pretext for the "Shays rebellion," so called, in which, however, West- hampton did not share.

The town voted upon this clause that Azariah Lyman, John Smith, Ebenezer Clark, Jonathan Wales, Noah Cook, Noah Edwards, Ephraim Wright, Rufus Lyman, and Samnel Ed- wards be a committee to instruct their representative, and agree with him concerning his wages.

April, 1790, voted that " the care of the meeting-house be committed to Mr. Samuel French, to sweep once a fortnight, furnish water for baptizing the children, also to lock and un- lock said house on all public days reasonably ; for which the town are to give him fifteen shillings a year." .

Place of Town-Meetings .- The earlier meetings are desig- nated in the records, and the place will be clearly known from the record of family location already given. As soon as the
