THE FIRST FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF CORNISH

was formed by a council which met Sept. 20, 1842, at the old town-house, then standing on the J. Pugsley farm, in the valley, two miles south of Cornish village. There were 51 persons, all members of the First Church in Limington, who united in forming this church, after an examination, in which all were found to favor temperance, Sabbath-schools, missions, and the abolition of slavery. Among the mem- bers were Deacon William Merrill, James Merrill, Daniel Pugsley, wife and daughters, Joseph Parker, Noah Mc- Kusick, wife and daughter, Cephas Gray, Stephen Guptill, wife and son, Obadiah T. Guptill, Rufus Allen and wife. Obadiah T. Guptill was chosen clerk, and Rufus Allen, deacon, to serve with Deacon Merrill, who had been ordained deacon in the old church. Elder James Rand joined also by letter from the First Church, and was the first pastor. In 1843 he was assisted by Elder Benjamin F. Manson, who dedicated their meeting-house in the fall of that year. An extensive revival, which continued through the year, in- creased the number to 90 members, and resulted in forming a second church in the north part of the town. Fifteen took letters, June 5th, to join the new church. Benjamin Haley, who was a prominent member for many years, joined that year. Rev. James Rand, James Crowley, and Thurston P. McKusick have been clerks. Present dea- cons, Frost Guptill and Charles F. Ridlon, ordained 1869. Benjamin F. Haley is clerk. There are 51 members, 17 44

of whom are non-residents. Among the pastors have been Rev. Zachariah Jordan, Rev. John O. Hackett, 1847-48; Rev. Geo. Whitney, Ira C. Guptill, licentiate, 1866; O. S. Hasty, 1869-75 ; Cyrus E. Brown, 1876-78; and Austin M. Guptill, son of Deacon Frost Guptill, who was baptized May 9, 1869, licensed to preach November, 1878, and be- came pastor in charge in March, 1879.

THE FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF CORNISH VILLAGE.

A meeting to organize this church was held at the village school-house, June 5, 1843. After prayer by Rev. James Rand and Rev. Benjamin S. Manson, the following persons signed the covenant and articles of faith, and were organ- ized into a church by letter from the church in Limington : Eli Barnes, Daniel Pugsley, wife, and three daughters, one of whom was only eight years of age, Enoch Jewell, Sam- uel Blake, Obadiah T. Guptill and wife, Berlinda Chick, Lucinda and Mary A. Pugsley, Abigail Ellis, and Nathaniel Pease, who was made clerk of the church. Daniel Pugsley was made deacon, and filled that office until his death, in March, 1877.

The meeting adjourned to meet the next day at Mr. Lit- tlefield's, in Hiram, where Isaac Storer and wife, Fanny Lord, Mrs. Pease, Mrs. Jewell, and Mary Treadwell were admitted by letter, and ten others by baptism. The church was admitted to the Parsonsfield quarterly meeting at its next session, and Eli Barnes licensed to preach. Rev. Joseph Edgeomb became first settled pastor in August, 1843, and a meeting-house was built and occupied in De- cember. The pastors have been Revs. A. Pease, 1845-46 ; A. Nichols, 1847; Walter Clark, 1852-53; Henry F. Snow, 1859-62; Moses H. Tarbox, 1865 ; Henry F. Snow, 1867 ; M. W. Burlingame, 1870-72; supplied by Bates College, 1874-75 ; Thomas Kennison, J. T. Blades, 1876; Wm. T. Smith, 1878; Henry F. Snow, 1878-79.

Franklin Pugsley is clerk and Joshua Durgin deacon ; membership, 39.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

A elass was formed by Rev. Samuel Barnes in 1800, but it was dissolved, and in 1831 another class was formed at the village by Rev. George D. Strout. A meeting-house was commenced and finished in 1832. At this time David Copeland and George T. Strout were the preachers on the Cornish and Baldwin Circuit. Mr. Copeland was the first minister appointed to Cornish. In 1837, Cornish became a station, and Rev. Gorham Greeley was preacher. In 1843 the first house and lot were sold to the school district and the present house erected. In 1847 and 1849 the membership was 114.

SCHOOLS.

In 1794 there were six " classes" or districts organized, which were provided for by the following " class-masters," and appropriations for the ensuing year :

Class No. 1, Noah Barker, 14s. to be expended in hiring a teacher; Class No. 2, William Chadbourne, $8.43 ; Class No. 3, Abraham Burrows, £1 2s. 9d. ; Class No. 4, James Wilson, £1 6s. 3d .; Class No. 5, Asahel Cole, £2 Os. 3d. ; Class No. 6, Chase Sawyer, £1 8s.

George W. Goodsoe, a native of Kittery, graduated at Dartmouth, N. H., in 1873, and located at Cornish village in April, 1879.

NEWFIELD.

DESCRIPTION AND BOUNDARIES.

THE town of Newfield lies for the most part to the north of Little Ossipee River, and joins the western line of York County. It is bounded on the north by Parsonsfield, on the east by Limerick and Waterborough, on the south by Shap- leigh and Acton, and on the west by Effingham, in Strafford Co., N. H.

The surface is varied. Picket Mountain in the east rises to the south of Newfield village, and extending two miles to the south, culminates in its highest point near the Shap- leigb line. This is much the highest land in the town. Across the Little Ossipee to the west are plains, beyond which beautiful ponds or lakelets border the more distant and broken lands, dotted with neat farm-houses, and ex- hibiting various signs of prosperity and improvement. Other hills and ridges divide the shallow valleys through which the main streams flow towards the southeast.

Silver, iron, lead, and gold exist. Limestone occurs in different parts of the town. Prospect mining has been con- ducted for silver on Bald Hill, near Adams' Pond, since 1876, and a vein 16 inches in width opened, but owing to want of capital it has not been developed.

Balch Pond, in the south west, lies partly in New Hamp- shire and partly in Newfield and Acton. Its outlet is Little Ossipee River, which also receives the waters of Drew's Pond, flowing through Adams' Pond in the centre of the town, and Turner Pond in the south. The river forms the southern boundary of the original grant, passes through the town at the western slope of Picket Mountain, and turning east, forms part of the boundary between this town and Limerick. Poverty Pond in the east corner, and Simms, near Adams' Pond, cover an area of about 200 acres each.

LAND TITLES.

The lands comprised in the original town of Newfield were a part of a large tract lying between the Great Ossi- pee and Little Ossipee Rivers, and " extending from the river Nechewannock to Saco River," conveyed by Capt. Sunday, Indian sagamore, to Francis Small, of Kittery, in consideration of two large blankets, two gallons of rum, two pounds of powder, four pounds of musket-balls, and twenty strings of beads. The land conveyed was supposed to be equal to twenty miles square. The deed was dated Nov. 28, 1668, and signed by the Indians' mark of a turtle. Mr. Small sold an undivided interest to Maj. Nicholas Shapleigh, of Kittery, and April 30, 1711, transferred the remainder to his son. Samuel Small removed to Cape Cod, Mass., and died soon after. The original deed, which had never been recorded, was discovered among his papers in 1770. The heirs of Sbapleigh and Small had it recorded .* The

title was confirmed, aud a partition was effected Aug. 5, 1771. The tract was run out by James Warren, surveyor, and to the Small heirs were assigned all included between the Ossipee Rivers, except Parsonsfield and half of Limerick, the Shapleigh heirs receiving a supposed title to land in- cluded in the original plantation of Shapleigh south of the Little Ossipee.

April 9, 1778, the proprietors claiming and holding under Samuel Small transferred to Elisha Ayert one-half of a tract of land between Pearsontown and Little Ossipee River, and Limerick line and New Hampshire line, upon condition that he " lot the whole tract into one-hundred-acre lots, and complete a check or plan of the same ;" build a saw-mill, clear two main roads through the tract, and settle twenty families upon his half. A survey was made during the year by John Wingate, and the number of acres found to be 14,543. The claim of the Smalls was contested, but finally confirmed.

That portion lying south of the Little Ossipee, and con- taining from 600 to 800 acres, was taken from Shapleigh, and annexed in June, 1844. The title to all these lands was confirmed by the committee on Eastern Claims, under the bill passed Oct. 30, 1782, and the tract became known as Washington Plantation.

SETTLEMENT.

In June, 1777, Paul McDonald and Zebulon Libby began clearing land upon the two northeast corner lots in the town. Mr. McDonald has stated that Nathaniel Doe was already ou his farm when they began clearing. This would make Mr. Doe the first settler in the town, although it is not known how much earlier he came. The Doe family occupied the only house in the southwest part of the town for some years. It was near Davis' Corner. Mr. McDonald and Mr. Libby cleared sufficient land in 1777 to raise a crop of rye, which they planted, built a log house for each, and returned to their homes in Scarborough to spend the winter. The next year they returned with their families. Mary, daughter of Zebulon Libby, was the first white child born in the town. She married a Mr. Milliken. A Mr. York settled upon the southeast side of Dunnel's Hill previous to 1780, but removed in 1785. A Mr. Berry, from New Durham, N. H., came in 1780, but, being a loyalist, removed to Canada at the close of the Revolution.

During the year 1780, William and Eben Symmes came from Ipswich, Mass., and settled at the north of Symmes' Pond, on the old road leading from the village to West Newfield. George Thompson, father of Daniel and George Thompson, came from Scarborough, and settled upon the

farm now occupied by Benjamin Piper. Ephraim Moulton came from Hampton, N. H., with his four grown-up sons,- Stephen, David, Levi, and Simeon,-and settled near the north line of the town, east of North Newfield, on the South Parsonsfield road, all taking adjoining lots. Elijah Drew, grandfather of Ira T. Drew, Esq., came from Dur- ham and purchased the Cape Ann right, but did not move his family into town until 1789. He settled at Drew's Corner, half a mile east of the pond bearing his name. Rev. John Adams, also from Durham, came here, one au- thority says, in 1780, while another gives the arrival of his family in February, 1781. There is no doubt that he preached here on his way through to and from the more populous settlements as soon as he could obtain a stopping- place on his journey or an audience of half a dozen settlers and their families. Leader Nelson came from Portsmouth, N. H., and settled in the centre of the town on land now occupied by the village of West Newfield. Joseph Dam, of Madbury, N. H., moved on to his brother's lands at what is now Newfield village in 1784, and a few months after removed to Dam's Corner, a mile northeast of Drew's Poud, where he cleared the farm afterwards occupied by his son, Hon. Daniel Dam.

Thomas Smith, who moved Rev. Mr. Adams to Newfield in an ox-cart, settled east of Picket Mountain in 1785. Thomas Davis, a brother-in-law of Elijah Drew and grand- father of Thomas M. and George W. Davis, settled near Nathaniel Doe. James Crummett, who had opened a farm on the Middle road, sold to a Mr. Hill in 1785-86, and went away. All these were from Durham, N. H.

Elisha Ayer, the chief proprietor, moved to Washington Plantation in 1790, and settled on the farm south of Symmes' Pond, afterwards owned by Ichabod Knox. James McLellan, his wife's brother, came from Saco the next year, and settled near Ilorne Pond. He was the father of the late Hon. James McLellan, of Newfield.

Valentine Langley, of Durham, settled near Mr. Davis in 1790. Zachariah Dunnels, who came from Newbury, Mass., in 1794-95, was the grandfather of William Dun- nels, late deputy sheriff of York County. Benjamin Loud came from Portsmouth, N. H., in 1797. Stephen Piper, from Stratham, N. IJ., settled on the Asa Piper place. John Mitchell and Joseph Towne, fron Kennebunk, settled on Mountain road. The place where Jethro Smith located has since been known as " Old Rye Field." Simeon Tib- betts was an early settler. Hosea Lord was licensed iun- keeper, and Josiah Towle, William Durgin, David Staple, Elijah Drew, and James Ayer merchants in 1804.

The first chaise in the town was owned by Rev. John Dame.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT.

The plantation government was organized under a war- rant issued by Joseph Gilpatrick, Esq., justice of the peace, to Capt. Ebenezer Symmes, one of the principal inhabitants, for a meeting to choose plantation officers, as the law directs, in order to collect their share of assessed county tax for Little Washington, Francisboro', and Little Ossipee.

At this meeting, which was held at the house of Nathaniel Bartlett Doe, Sept. 26, 1791, Elijah Drew presided as moderator. Andrew Doe was elected Clerk ; Elijah Drew,

William Symmes, Josiah Hobbs, Assessors; Nathaniel B. Doe, Collector and Constable; Thomas Davis, William Symmes, Zebulon Libby, Joseph Dam, Surveyors of High- ways. £4 1s. 6d. were voted for roads and schooling. The assessors were empowered to lay out roads, 2} rods wide, where they thought proper, and wages fixed at 3s. a day. A second election was called by William Frost, Esq., county treasurer, in a warrant to Jeremiah Hill, Esq., jus- tice of the peace, and a second election was held Oct. 1, 1791, over which Elisha Ayer presided, and the same officers were again elected .*

The first town record contains the following instructions from William Frost, Esq., county treasurer :

"Only observe to begin Right & goe on Straight agreeable to the law, keeping fair Records as you go along and you will always be Right. If you begin Rong and Keep no Records you will always be Rong and in confusion. I am with Respect, Gentlemen, Your most Obedient and Humble Servant,

" WM. FROST."

Hog-reeves, a deer-reeve, fence-viewers, and tithing-men were elected in 1792, and £25 were voted for the support of the gospel. A committee was appointed to hire a min- ister and clear five acres for a church-yard. Taxes were payable in eorn before January 1st of the next year. A sale of 2960 acres of land for non-payment of taxes was followed by annual sales of like character until after the year 1800, the lands going for a nominal price and ready pay.

INCORPORATION.

Feb. 26, 1794, the plantation was incorporated by act of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and received the name of Newfield. The first town election was held at the house of Nathaniel B. Doe, April 15, 1794. Elijah Drew, Esq., was chosen Moderator, Town Clerk, and first Selectman ; David Staple and David Moulton were elected Selectmen ; William Symmes was elected Treasurer ; Benjamin Lane and Nathan Nock, Commissioners ; Ralph Dam, Collector and Constable; Capt. Ebenezer Symmes and Nathaniel B. Doe, Wardens ; and a full list of town officers, including highway overseers and fence-viewers, were elected. A pe- tition was presented to the Governor requesting that Mr. Elijah Drew be appointed justice of the peace. The sum of £15 was voted for preaching, £20 for schools, and it was resolved " that the school money be in corn." A pound was ordered built, and a commission sent to the General Court to get the back taxes released. The following order for the payment of an expert to examine the town accounts

shows the rigid economy with which public affairs were managed :

" Mr. David Moulton, Treasurer, Please to pay Elijah Drew, Esq., Sixty-Seven Cents, it being for his services as a commissioner to ex- amine the Selectmen's accoumpts for the year 1797.

Selectmen.

"NEWFIELD, March 31, 1798."

The selectmen were paid for their services one bushel of Indian corn per day. Thistles became so numerous as to alarm the farmers, and a law was passed in 1797 forbidding any one to allow them to go to seed upon the road border- ing his premises for four years, under a penalty of £40 fine. The work of building the meeting-house was for- warded this year by making accurate surveys to find the centre of town. A number of poor people who had come to the town to earn their living and homes by hard labor were ordered off because they had not the town's consent and were not freeholders, though the residents were buying public lands at less than $1 an acre.

The Baptist residents were allowed their portion of the tax for supporting the gospel in 1798. The Congregation- alists, relieved from their dissenting influence, immediately erected their meeting-house, the first in the town, a quarter of a mile northwest of Adams' Pond, on William Symmes' farm.

Elections were held in the meeting-houses until 1845, when the town fitted up a hall over Samuel H. Smith's store. A strange scene in this old hall is recorded as oc- curring at the election of March 3, 1859. " Proceeded to ballot for selectmen. After the balloting seemed to be over, the moderator called several times for ballots to be forwarded. At length it was motioned, seconded, and voted to close the poll. The moderator declared the ballot closed, and, while in the act of removing the cover of the box, J. Monroe Davis declared, with an oath, that it was not closed, at the same time hitting the box with his hand, knocking it out of the moderator's hand on to the floor, and scattering the ballots among those previously strewn over the floor." All was instantly confusion ; there was a close vote expected, and this means was a last resort to evade a defeat. Men of opposing parties clinched and rolled together over benches and upon the floor. After some minutes order was suf- ficiently restored to ballot again ; but the meeting was ad- journed to a subsequent day, when gnards of special police were stationed each side of the ballot-box, and the candi- dates of the fighting party defeated. The meeting-house of the Free-Will Baptist society at West Newfield was purchased by the town in 1876, and has since been occu- pied as a town-house.
