HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

"Samuel Cumings and Eleazer Flagg " were commis- sioned "to provide Preaching and Entertainment for the minister for the next three months." In July, 1741, it was "Voted that Abraham Taylor and Peter Powers have the non-resident money for the current year to pay Mr. Underwood and Mr. Towle, . and to procure Preaching till the first of January next, if the money shall hold out." In September, 1741, the first article in the warrant for a meeting then held " was to see whether it be the minds of the People to do anything towards the Bringing forward the Settling of a Larned and Orther Dox Minister in this Parish." And in February, 1742, it was "Voted that any Person who shall hereafter Entertain any Minister for this Parish shall have paid to him Eight Shillings for one Sabbath day and 208 a Week if he stay longer."

At a parish-meeting held in October, 1741, before it was publicly known that any part of the town of Old Dunstable was on the wrong side of the province line. it was voted,-

" Ist. That Stephen Harris, Abraham Taylor & Peter Powers be joyned in Committee with Benjamin Farley and Samuel Cummings to take some proper Measures to bring forward the settling of a Larned and Orther Dox Minister in this Parish as soon as conveniency will alow.

"Al. That said Committee be directed to observe the following instruc- tions, viz. : That they wait upon the Rev. Mr. Trobridge, Mr Heni- mingway and the Rev. Mr .. Bliss and Mr. Swan, and desire their assist- ance in keeping and solemnizing a Day of Fasting and Prayer in this Parish, and Seeking the Direction of Heaven in the affair.

"3d. That said Committee should make their address to said Ministers for their advice and Direction what Ministers to apply ourselves too to Preach with us on Probation."

At a parish-meeting December 28, 1741, among the accounts presented and allowed were the following :

" Voted, to allow Abraham Taylor,-

"For Entertaining Ministers at the Fast, 3€ 008. Od.

" For Entertaining Ministers Five Sabbaths, 2€. 00s. Od."

The warrant for this meeting was the last in which the words "Middlesex ss." were written in the top margin. It soon became known to them that the parish of West Dunstable was not in the county of Middlesex, that their charter, as a legal instrument, was worthless, and that there was no law by which the minority of the inhabitants could be bound by the votes of a majority. Embarrassed by the decision in respect to the new line and the loss of their char- ter, our ancestors did not falter in their effort to bring forward and settle a " Larned and Orther Dox Minis- ter." With this end and others in view, the inhabit- ants, as we have said before, met in February, 1742, and petitioned the General Court of New Hampshire for a township charter. No other public meeting of the inhabitants was held till the 17th of January, 1743, near a year after, when they came together by common consent, and by mutual agreement in their personal and individual capacity, invited the Rev. Daniel Emerson, the candidate of their choice, to be- come their minister. The proceedings of this meet- ing and of that which next followed cannot fail to be of interest,-

"Att a meeting of the Inhabitants of the West Parish in Dunstable, regularly assembled January 17, 1742-43. Abraham Taylor chosen mod- erator.

"Unanimously voted and chose Mr. Daniel Emerson for their Gospel Minister to take the Pastoral care of the Flock of Christ in said Place. Also,

" Unanimously voted and agreed to give said Mr. Emerson (on condi- tion of his acceptance), for and toward this Settlement, $400, common currency, or £100 of the Massachusetts last Emition. Also,

"Unanimously voted to give said Minister for his yearly Sallery, During his Ministry in Said Place, such a certain sum of Bills of Credit as will be equal to fifty Pounds of the Massachusetts last Emition (new). Also,

" Voted, to give Thirty Cords of Fire Wood, Cord Wood Length, att said Minister's Door yearly. Also,

" Voted and chose Abraham Taylor, Samnel Brown, Enoch Hnut, Eleazer Flagg, Samuel Cumings, Peter Powers, William Colburn, Stephen Harris and Robert Blood to wait upon said Mr. Emerson and commini- cate unto him the minds and Proposals of said Parish, and desire his an- swer therein in convenient time.

The parish committee were prompt in communi- cating the foregoing call to Mr. Emerson, and on the 4th of the following March a meeting was called to consider his answer, which was entered upon the record as follows :

" To the Inhabitants of West Parish in Dunstable :

" Whereas, it has pleased the Great God (who has the Hearts of all men in his Hands) to dispose and incline your hearts to invite me to take the oversight of you and to Labour among yon in Word and Doc- trine, as appears by a vote preferred to me by the Committee, bearing date January 17, 1742-13, T have from that time taken that important matter into the most close consideration and have asked the best advice and am (after many and great difficulties in the way) come to this con- elusion without Hesitation, viz. :

"If you will fulfill your Promise as to the $100 Settlement in old Tenor, only that the one part of it be in Forty Acres of Good Land, near and convenient to the Meeting-House, firmly and forever convaied to me, and the other Part to be paid in Bills of Publique credit within a year from the date of this Answer- And that for my yearly Sallary you give me such a certain Sum of Bills of Publique credit yearly, as shall be equal to 150 ounces of coined Silver, which is the sum yon propose-to- gether with Thirty Cords of Wood, Cord Wood Length, delivered at my Door-And after your Parish, Town or District shall, by the Providence of God, be increased to the number of 100 Families (and not desired or ex- pected till then), you make an addition to my yearly Sallary of five ounces of coined Silver per year, till the same shall be equal to 200 Ounces of coined Silver-there to abide till the number of your Families arise to 150-and then to Raise Five Ounces of Coined Silver per year till it ar- rives at 210 Ounces of Coined Silver-and there to abide and be no more, which is equal to £70 of the Massachusetts last Emition-Always ex-

" Now if these before-mentioned conditions be freely and voluntarily acted on and secured to me- as you promist in the call-then I as freely and willingly accept of the call, and freely subscribe myself yours to serve in the work of the Ghospel Ministry During Life,

"Dunstable West Precinct, March ye 4th, 1743.

" DANIEL EMERSON."

The record continues,-

" It was thereupon Voted and agreed to accept the Terms Mr. Emerson proposed in his answer, bouth as to settlement and sallary-Also, Voted that Samnel Brown, Abraham Taylor, l'eter Powers, Eleazer Flagg and Samuel Cummings be a committee to consult with Mr. Emerson in the choice of a conneil."

On the same day and at the same meeting, as it appears in the record, a mutual additional agreement was entered into by the tax-payers, and signed by most of them, with a preamble setting forth the rea- sons that made this new agreement necessary, the important parts of which are as follows:

" Whereas, his majesty, by the late determination of the Northern Boundary of the Massachusetts, has left us, the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Westerly part of Dunstable, out of the Province to which we al- ways supposed we belonged, and under whose Laws we Exercised the Privileges of a Parish-but by the said determination it is supposed by some that said Inhabitants are Disqualified to make any Act, Agreement or Determination by a majority of voters, as they otherwise might have done, that should be Effectual to compel Persons to pay their honest Proportion of all such Rates and necessary charges that shall arise in calling, settling and maintaining a minister.

"Now, therefore, that we may Enjoy the benefit of the Ghospel ordi- nances amongst us, we have come into the following agreement and ob- ligation, viz."

The contract with Mr. Emerson is set forth in this new agreement, verbatim, and the record then con- tinues as follows :

" Allso agreed that in the Payment of the Minister's Seltlement & Sal- lary, the assessors hereafter to be chosen Proportion such a certain part thereof to each Pole, that when the Remainder thereof shall be levied upon Each Person's Real and Personal Estate, agreeable to the Rules of the Massachusetts Province, that the highest Payer upon Estates shall be equal to a single Pole.

" To the Performance of the aforewritten agreement we hereby cove- nant and oblige ourselves in the Penal sum of $100, till such time as this society be incorporated a distinct Town or Parish."

Thirty-seven names were signed to this agreement, some of which were not upon the call. This agree- ment, as will be readily seen, was a voluntary com- paet, entered into by those who signed it as their best expedient for the lack of a town or parish charter.

Some other matters suggested by this contract be- tween Mr. Emerson and his society are worthy of a few passing remarks, as illustrating the laws, customs and prevailing sentiments of the times, as well in civil as in church affairs.

hundred ounces; and it might afterwards be increased to two hundred and ten ounces.

The ounce Troy, used in weighing the precious metals, contains four hundred and eighty grains. The American silver dollar contains four hundred and twelve and one-half of those grains, making the value of the ounce of silver coin $1.14; one hundred and fifty ounces, $171; two hundred ounces, $228; and two hundred and ten ounces, $239.40, in standard federal coin.

Mr. Emerson was ordained April 20, 1743, and he continued a faithful, venerated and popular minister of that society till November 27, 1793, a period of more than fifty years, without a change "or wish to change his place." At the latter date the Rev. Eli Smith, who had married his granddaughter, was settled as his colleague, Mr. Emerson retaining one- half of his salary till his decease, September 30, 1801, at the age of eighty-five years.

July 31, 1745, a church covenant was adopted, which was signed by the following persons :

Daniel Emerson, John Boynton, Henry Barton, Samuel Brown, Jeralı- mael Cumings, Benjamin Blanchard, Elias Smith, Enoch HInnt, Nathan- iel Blood, Joseph Fletcher, Jonathan Danforth.

The following were made members of the church prior to the Revolution :

Benjamin Abbot, John Atwell, Henry Barton, Benjamin Blanchard, Nathaniel Blood, John Boynton, Josiah Brown, Samuel Brown, Ephraim Burge, Robert Colburn, William Colburn, Josiah Conant, Jerahmael Cumings, John Cumings, Sammel Cumings, William Cumings, Jonathan Danforth, Thomas Dinsmore, Zedekiah Drury, Amos Eastman, Daniel Emerson, Jr., Benjamin Farley, Samuel Farley, Amos Fisk, Eleazer Flagg, Samuel Goodhue, John Goss, John Hale, Phineas Hardy, David Hobart, Samuel Hobart, Enoeh Hunt, Stephen Jewett, Ebenezer Jewett, Abraham Leeman, Sanmel Leeman, Jonathan Lovejoy, William Nevins, Enoch Noyes, Thomas Patch, Peter Powers, Moses Proctor, William Shattuck, Zachariah Shattuck, Elias Smith, Jonathan Taylor, Nathaniel Townsend, John Willoughby, Francis Worcester, Noah Worcester, Ben- jamin Wright.

Rev. Mr. Emerson was a man of large and active intellect, a convert of Whitefield, and partaking largely of his spirit, he was uniformly evangelical, and often a very eloquent preacher. His chief excel- Iencies in preaching were sound doctrine, deep feeling and zeal at times almost overwhelming. His labors were by no means confined to the pulpit. He was interested in public affairs, serving as chaplain in the army and accompanying it to Crown Point. An able counselor, he was often called from home to aid feeble churches. Interested in the cause of ministerial edu- cation, and much blessed with revivals of religion among his own people, he animated a large number of young men to become preachers of the gospel. Very assiduous in his attendance on the meetings of this association, he manifested an energy like that of Baxter, whom in person he was said to resemble. for many years a leading mind in the association.

First, it was agreed, in this contract, that the new minister, for the present, should receive for his yearly salary one hundred and fifty ounces of coined silver, or their equal value in bills of public credit, the . From his talents and position' the Hollis minister was paper money of that day, and also thirty cords of wood.

Rev. Dr. Day, in a biographical sketch of Mr. Smith, written for the "History of the New Hamp- shire Churches," says of him :

" That he was a man of strong natural talents, a firm and energetic defender of the truth and a successful pastor. During his pastorate of a little more than thirty-seven years between four and five hundred per- sons were admitted to the church. . . . The great revival of his ministry was in the years 1801 and 1802. At that time one hundred and forty-two new members were united to the church. In 1811 there was another revival, when thirty or forty persons were added to the church. In 1817 there was still another, of which about fifty more were made subjects.
