MINISTERIAL AND CHURCH LANDS.
The early settlers of New England, in their zeal for the religious welfare of the newly planted colo- ny, were careful to endeavor to promote it in various ways by their public acts. Accordingly, we find that as soon as the land in the town of Dorchester became of marketable value, an allotment of it was made for the support of the ministry. The frequent inquiries which have been made by clergymen and others, who have removed into the town since the

division of this property was effected, induces us to give the following brief record. The original grant is as follows :
"At a meeting of the proprietors of the common land of Dorchester yt Lyeth between ye divisions that are already Layed out on ye line that runneth from Ded- ham to ye tope of ye Blue hills, they doe freely giue, sequester and set out forever, fower hundred acres of land, that is two hundred acres thereof to be im- proved from time to time for the use and mainte- nance of the ministry to ye inhabitants of Dorches- ter on ye North West side of ye river Neponset, and ye other two hundred acres to ye inhabitants of Dor- chester that live on the South West side of the sd river Neponset, for to be improved for the use of the ministry there from time to time, and the donors dew declare that ye land above said shall not be giv- en or any way made over, alienated or sold, directly or indirectly, to any minister or any other p"sons whatsoever, or to their heirs, executors or assigns, but shall remain and continue to be improved for the use above said."
mo.
" Voted by the proprietors above sayd ye 16-11- 1659."
" 1-10-1662. It was voted that the 400 acres given for the maintenance of the ministry for Dor- . chester and Unquety should with the common land be divided, and Capt. Clap and Ensign Capen are appointed to do that work and make a return."
" 8-10-1662. Robert Redman was appointed to receive the pay of the town of Milton for laying out the 200 acres of land given for the ministry."
652
HISTORY OF DORCHESTER.
It appears that when Milton was set off from Dorchester and incorporated as a separate town, in 1662, Dorchester withheld its objections on condi- tion that the ministerial and church lands should not be taxed. The following is the vote passed by the town, May 5, 1662 :
" Provided also, That all the lands or any of their Estate inhabiting upon the lands lately reserved for the maintenance of the ministry in Dorchester, both it and they shall not be charged to any common charges by our neighbors at Unquity. Neither that meadow which doe belong to the Church of Dor- chester."
" 7-10-1763. The committee appointed to lay out and divide the 400 acres of land given for the use of the ministry made their return. The vote was whether Milton should have that end next the parallel line, and Dorchester the end next the river. The vote was in the affirmative."
When, in 1806, the First (and only) Parish in the town became so large that it was impossible to accommodate all in one Church, the Second Parish was organized. Before that, the town was the pa- rish and the parish the town ; and the affairs of the two were therefore intimately connected. Now it became necessary to organize as parishes ; and as the division was a matter of necessity, the income of the ministerial and church property was divided, by mutual consent, in the proportion that each pa- rish was taxed by the town. And here we will add, that the ministerial property was parish property, given for the support of the clergy and other neces-
653

sary expenses connected with public worship; and the church property was land, money and other valuables, given by individuals to the Church as an organization within the Parish. The funds of these two organizations have always been kept separate, as much so as those of two different towns, each having a treasurer of its own. When the trouble occurred in the Second Parish, a new difficulty arose about the division of the income from these funds ; and after a few years the First Parish took the initiatory steps to cause a division of the same. The final step was taken by the joint agreement of the committees of the three Parishes, January 31, 1825-it being well un- derstood, by those versed in the law, that the First Parish had a legal right to the whole. The principle adopted was that the First Parish should have one half, the Second and Third one fourth each ; and all the ministerial property was thus divided, except- ing the lot on which the Almshouse stands, and a parcel of land then held by Jeremiah S. Boies, on a lease of ninety-nine years. To the First Parish was assigned the

The committee on division close their report as follows : " It is more than probable that the whole of the real and personal property now divided, might, upon strict principles of legal right, have been retained by the First Parish, in exclusion of the other Parishes, and of all claims and interference of the town. Nevertheless, having separated from this from urgent necessity, and not from animosity or caprice, they had a strong claim in equity to a portion of the funds ; and it is believed that this transaction, in which the First Parish not only acquiesced, but took the lead in the division of this property, upon the broader principle of equity, will forever be considered a distinguished act of their munificence and liberality."
The church property was divided among the First, Second and Third Churches, in 1817, in proportion to numbers. John Russell, who died August 26, 1633, left half of his property to the Church ; and

David Price, who died about 1653, left a large por- tion of his to the same. Most of the donors to the Church have been dead upwards of a hundred years.
BURIAL-GROUNDS.
The first burial-ground in Dorchester is supposed to have been situated around the first meeting-house of the settlers, near the present corner of Pleasant and Cottage Streets.
The ground now designated as the " Old Burying- Ground," and situated at the corner of Boston and Stoughton Streets, was agreed upon in November, 1633; and on March 3, 1634, the town voted to lay it out five rods square. This has been enlarged, from time to time, until it now contains not far from three acres. This is one of the most interesting burial-grounds in the country, having been used as such for two centuries and a quarter, and furnished a final resting-place during that time for the bodies of no less than six thousand persons. Many of the descendants of the first settlers, from far and near, visit this sacred spot. Some "Old Mortality " might here find objects of interest and occupation for many a day. Like other burial-grounds in our country, it was a neglected enclosure until a comparatively recent period. About twenty-five years since, the late Samuel Downer, a man of leisure and great taste, devoted much time to its improvement, by set- ting out and cultivating within its borders a variety of ornamental trees and flowers. It is believed that no burial-ground in the United States has inscrip- tions so ancient as some here found, excepting per-

haps that of Jamestown, in Virginia. The oldest one is that of Barnard Capen, who died November 8, 1638, aged 76 years. The present stone is in place of the original. The oldest original stone covers the grave of two persons, and has the follow- ing inscription :
" Abel his offering accepted is His body to the Grave his soule to bliss On October, twenty and no more In til Yeare sixteen hundred 44."
· The following is a few years later :

The South Burial-Ground, situated on Washing- ton Street, near the Lower Mills, was first used as a place of interment in 1814; "the first tenant being Mrs. Lucinda Hawes, wife of Mr. John Hawes, who died May 18, and was buried May 20, 1814.
" Dorchester Cemetery," so called, situated on Norfolk Street, was bequeathed to the Second Pa- rish by its pastor, Rev. John Codman, D.D. It was consecrated October 27, 1848, an address being made on the occasion by Rev. J. H. Means, succes- sor to Dr. Codman, and a prayer by Rev. William M. Rogers, of Boston. The remains of Dr. Codman were transferred to the family tomb in the Cemetery, on the same day. The members of the Parish have erected a granite monument to his memory, and in- scribed upon it " OUR PASTOR." The first interment

was of the body of Mrs. Mary C. Sanborn, and took place on October 19, 1848.
The Roman Catholic Cemetery, on Norfolk Street, was purchased of John Tolman, of Dorchester, Au- gust 12, 1850, by John Dolan and James Kelley. It then contained about ten acres, but has since been enlarged. Numerous interments have been made in this ground from Boston and the neighboring towns.
CONCLUSION.
HAVING accompanied our readers through the successive epochs of the history of our ancient Town, and introduced them to the men and things of the present generation, let us, in bringing it to a close, briefly review the past, and give due respect to our progenitors, as far as they devoted themselves to the true purposes of life. In estimating their charac- ters, it is proper that we should take into considera- tion the age in which they lived, and judge them by their light, not ours. Nor would we over-estimate the past, to the disparagement of new and better things.
The ship Mary and John, which brought the first settlers of Dorchester, properly belonged to what is called the Winthrop fleet, but was the first to arrive ; consequently the trouble and responsibility of fixing upon a place for settlement devolved upon them. Gov. Winthrop and his party soon arrived, and

" set down " at the mouth of Charles River. These, with the settlers of Salem, established the Puritan Commonwealth. Although, on their arrival, better provided than the Pilgrims of Plymouth with the necessaries of life, and rejoicing in the bright and genial summer weather, yet who can tell of their straits in this then inhospitable wilderness ? They were in want of cattle and swine, both for breed and for husbandry, and were in doubts and fears concerning their Indian neighbors. Their suffering during the first winter must have been great; yet they never wished to turn their feet homeward. They had suffered too much, before they resolved to leave their country, to be easily enticed back, and were determined not " to hazard a celestial advance- ment for a gilded coronet, or prefer the flattery of mistaken mortals to the approbation of angels." Roger Clap, after enumerating their wants for food, says, " Bread was so very scarce, that sometimes I tho't the very crusts of my Father's Table would have been very sweet unto me. And when I could have meal and water and salt boiled together, it was so good, who could wish better ?" Ponder upon that, ye epicures and fault-finders of the present generation. Yet, adds the same writer, "I do not remember that ever I did wish myself back again to my Father's house." They kept up a correspon- dence with their friends in England, and entered warmly into the plans which helped to crush out the power of Charles I. and his friends, and looked with admiration upon Cromwell, who was in Parlia- ment before they left their native shores, and was

emphatically the representative of the free and vigor- ous spirit of that day. To his everlasting credit be it spoken, he was one of the first to dispute the divine right of kings. He was manifestly a friend and helper of the colony; he lopped off all ma- chinery which in his opinion interfered with its true progress, and under him it flourished, because let alone.
Most of the dwellings of the first settlers were log houses; in them they managed to keep pretty com- fortable in winter, abundantly provided, as they were, with wood. Much of their time, in the long evenings of that season of the year, was doubtless spent in conversation about their old homes in England, and the civil and religious commotions and restrictions there, as well as upon the wild beasts and still wilder Indians here. When the snow barricaded their dwell- ings, or they looked out upon a rocky and barren soil, what a contrast to the clear and arable lands which they had left! Then they would compare their own condition with that of their relatives in England, who were smarting under the exactions and persecutions brought about by Bishops Laud, Wren and Cosins on the one side, and the hardly less intolerant Scotch Presbyterians on the other. We should not forget, however, that they were stren- uous and self-willed themselves, Gov. Endicott go- ing so far as to send back to England John and Samuel Brown, for worshipping after the manner of the church of their native country. Samuel Gorton, it would also appear, was persecuted by them, be- cause too liberal for his age, To him there was
660
HISTORY OF DORCHESTER.
" no heaven, but in the heart of a good man ; no hell, but in the conscience of the wicked." He looked upon all creeds, formulas and dogma's as mischievous and of no authority compared with the word of God. Such doctrines as these met with no favor in the eyes of our puritan ancestors. There were a few other individuals, at that early day, whose imagina- tion soared beyond the transient and the twilight of the present, and who could see in the future an ideal good. They could see " spring part her sweet lips with the inspiration of glorious youth and beauty ; they could see morning cut the empyrean with a face bright and beautiful as light, and evening droop her head as she flew homeward to rest." How in- spiring to natures of this kind, to hear " Anne Hutchinson and Henry Vane talk together of faith, of the divine light, and the new future." But the age was neither ready nor willing to appreciate the great truths they promulgated, and which, one by one, have since been acknowledged; they did not awake, as Herder says of the Germans, "when it was noon every where else "; but they sprang for- ward and impressed their generation with their en- ergy ; it was their appointed work to help build the vestibule of that great temple of liberty, whose dome will finally shelter and bless the whole world. The Puritans of Massachusetts Colony had more cultivation and action, but less charity and brotherly love, than the Pilgrims at Plymouth. They consi- dered their emigration here as an exodus from bond- age to freedom, and desired none of the worshippers of the Mother Church, or the " Scarlet Woman," to

enter their new English Canaan. Their lives were spent in the fear of God; but they were not without their seasons of enjoyment, or even of the sports of life. They occasionally had their festive gatherings, and unbent from the trying realities of life and the stern dogmas of their faith. This applies more par- ticularly to the first comers, and not so much to their children, the first generation born here, who, it must be admitted, had not the opportunities, train- ing, experience, and consequently the ability; of their fathers. They were born into a wilderness ; and as the essential conditions of life and progress are never changed, they could not sustain the cha- racters of those who had been familiar with kings and courts, persecutions and prisons. They were taught to follow that road which leads to the " eter- nal city "; but their position was cramped, their ideas hedged in by circumstances, which have so much to do, the world over, in the formation of character.
Ancestors ! in you we recognize the pioneers of noble thoughts and the founders of a great religious commonwealth. Uncharitable, injudicious, dogma- tic, were many of the elements which made up the great whole of your character as rulers and as men ; yet we trust that an intelligent and vigorous pos- terity will avoid your errors, and unfold and per- petuate your highest aspirations, until every vestige of wickedness is removed, and the highest type of 1 christian civilization acquired.
Descendants ! to you we devise the great inheri- tance we have received from our fathers, It is yours

to retain its best and banish its worst features. There are many lands yet to be explored, many truths to be acknowledged, many inventions to be made, and many oppressions to be overturned. " It is for you to search creation through, climb all mountains, cross and sound all seas ; number, clas- sify, and follow in their course all the stars of the firmament ; dig into the bowels of the earth, gather its hidden treasures, fathom every secret, solve every riddle of nature, copy all beauty, breathe all music, and accumulate to use and enjoyment whatever of comfort or of luxury nature can supply."* Thus may science continue its conquering march, until truth, immortal truth, be enthroned in every heart, every error rooted out, and every virtue engrafted on the tree of life. When this great consummation is complete, may we all be found citizens of the kingdom eternal, and sharers in its unspeakable blessings !
