The Rev. Nathaniel Merrill had continued to preach to the Congregationalists in the meeting-house at the south part of the town until a short time previous to his decease, which occurred during the year 1796, the exact day being unknown. This was the year that Rev. Jabez Pond Fisher was settled, with so much opposition.
The town had made certain repairs on the old building, and thus had a part ownership with the builders and pew owners. As has been seen, the majority ot the Presbyter- ians were stubborly opposed to having Mr. Fisher settled, and refused to have Congregational preaching in the house built for their society. They refused also to bear any part of the taxation to support Mr. Fisher, and so the contro- versy waxed fierce and earnest.
The crisis came one Sabbath morning, when the com- mittee that had been previously appointed by the Congre- gationalists to open the meeting-house for their service, met with resistance from the inside of the building. When the committee attempted to force an entrance with axes, they were driven away by the force stationed within under the leadership of Asa Davis, Esq. Finally the attempt was abandoned, and the service for that day was held in the open air upon the common during a storm of mist and rain.
After this stirring episode Mr. Fisher preached at the old South meeting-house, in private houses, barns, or in the open air, until the new South meeting-house was built in 1798, by proprietors connected with the Congregational church and society. At the time Mr. Fisher, who was a graduate of Brown University in 1788, was ordained the members of his church did not number over fifty, and while he was pastor for about five years, thirty-six were admitted to membership.

SOME EARLY CHURCH HISTORY
June 18, 1798, it was voted to give the proprietors of the meeting-house then building land for a site on the west part of the Town Common, "near Josiah Hamblet's on the east side of the road for to set said meeting house on, so long as a meeting house shall be continued there." Asa Davis, Thomas Senter and James Caldwell were chosen a committee and empowered to give a deed in behalf of the town.
The South meeting-house, built in 1798, stood about one hundred feet east of the Lowell road, and about half way between the road passing south of the Blodgett ceme- tery and the highway south of the common. It was not far from one hundred and fifty feet southerly from the site of the meeting-house erected in 1748. It was fifty by forty feet, with the pulpit on the north side in the center, galler- ies on the east, south and west sides, with a porch for the gallery stairs at the center of the east and west ends. The pews were square and the general arrangement or con- struction of the house was very similar to that of the North meeting-house. The writer remembers both of these build- ings.
The South meeting-house remained until about 1844, when it was sold to James Carnes for one hundred dollars, and was taken down by him. The dwelling near Taylor's Falls bridge, now owned by Mrs. Elisha A. Martin, was constructed from the lumber of the old church by Mr. Carnes, even to the doors, windows, finish and underpin- ning, a piece of the last still bearing the date "1798."
The records for the twenty years following the build- ing of the South meeting-house are plentifully interspersed with votes in regard to money raised for preaching or ac- tion unfavorable to it. September 24, 1798, the town de- clined "to make a tax for the Rev. Jabez P. Fisher." March 21, 1799, a committee reported :
Minister Rate since yr 1795 not settled,
Nor the Rate tor the ordination supper.
220
HISTORY OF HUDSON
March 3, 1800, it was voted not to raise "$500 to sup- port the Gospel, or any other sum." September 28, 1801, favorable action was taken towards raising one hundred dollars for preaching, to be divided between the two socie- ties, and Joseph Winn, Jr., Samuel Wason and Joseph B. Wilson were appointed a committee. March 15, 1802, after refusing to raise any money for preaching that year, the following article was considered:
Put to vote to see if the town would pay Mr. Jabez Pond Fisher his demand that he had sued for.
Voted in the Negative.
Then voted and chose Asa Davis, Samuel Marsh Esq & Dea. Isaac Merrill a committee to inquire into the cause of the action and see what is due him if any, and who from, and report as soon as may be.
The meeting was adjourned to Monday, March 22, when it was voted that "Asa Davis attend the court and get the said cause, Fisher against said town continued to September term."
REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE MR. FISHER'S CLAIM.
We the subscribers a committee chosen by the town for the purpose of examining into the cause of the action brought against the town by Mr. Fisher, Report as follows: Viz: We having ex- amined into the cause of the action, find that Mr. Fisher has received of the town $662, for his first two years salary and $2. over, and that there remains $1013.92 for his salary that the Town hath not settled with him. And that we find by a vote of the Town on Record, that those persons who were exempted from paying to his support in the year 1797 ought to be exempted from paying proportionate part of this sum that is now due. Nottingham West Aug. 30, 1802.
ASA DAVIS, ISAAC MERRILL Committee.
Four years passed without any money being raised for preaching, in which time it is supposed the account of Mr. Fisher was settled. May 14, 1807, three hundred dollars was voted for preaching, each taxpayer to pay his money to that denomination designated by him. April 2, 1808, two hundred dollars was raised, those persons belonging to
221
SOME EARLY CHURCH HISTORY
the Baptist church being exempted from this minister's tax, while those of the other denominations were allowed to pay their tax where they chose. In 1809 and 1810 one hundred and fifty dollars was raised each year for preach- ing. August 27, 1810, there was an article in the warrant:
To see if the town will vote to finish the North meeting house in said town, in case the present owners will first make it the towns property.
Was voted in the Negative.
October 29, 1810, after voting the money to "the Bap- tists and their accomplices," the money they had been as- sessed, to be used in their own society, it was
Voted that the Baptists and their accomplices may petition the State Legislature to incorporate them a Baptist society in Nottingham West.
In 1811, 1812, 1813, 1814 and 1815 one hundred dollars a year was raised for preaching, exclusive of the Baptists and their "accomplices." In 1816 and 1817, two hundred dollars was raised for this purpose, outside of the Baptists. March 23, 1818,
Voted to give Mr. Willard Holbrook a call to settle as pastor over the Presbyterian church and congregation.
Chose Dea. Page Smith, Dea. Thomas Hills, John Foster, Capt. Caleb S. Ford, Esq., Ebenezer Marsh, a committee to consult and propose a sum for the support of said Holbrook, in case he accept our call as pastor. 1
The committee reported in favor of a salary of $400 a year, or $325 for three-fourths of a year. The first proposi- tion was accepted, Dea. Isaac Merrill, Dea. Page Smith and Asa Blodgett were made a committee to wait upon Mr. Holbrook.
For some reason Mr. Holbrook did not accept the offer.
The sum of two hundred dollars was raised for preach- ing in 1819, which is the last entry of this kind in the town records. March 12, 1825, a movement to build a belfry in the North meeting-house and make repairs was voted down.

HISTORY OF HUDSON
The checkered record of the North meeting-house con- tains two conveyances that are of especial interest. Janu- ary 2, 1797, Joseph Wilson of Dracut, Mass., in considera- tion of $8, conveyed to Asa Davis of Nottingham West, "all his right of land and meeting-house standing on same and containing about twenty-three square rods." The de- scription being the same as in the deed of Henry Hale, December 15, 1770.
November 26, 1811.

Viz : Beginning at a stake and stones by the town road and thence northeasterly by said road 13 rods to a stake and stones : thence W 13º S 10 rods to a stake and stones, and from thence south 5 rods to the bounds first mentioned. (Further description refers to Hale deed.)
March 1, 1842, the old church and lot were again prominent in conveyance, when the Baptist society, through their committee, David Burns, Noah Robinson and Reuben Greeley, deeded the property to the town of Hudson, the deed not recorded.
A certain tract of land situated in said Hudson with a meeting house standing thereon. Beginning at a stake and stones at the south west corner of the premises, on the town road leading from Reuben Greeley's in said Hudson, to Elbridge Dow's in said Hudson, and on land of Farmer & Robinson : thence northeasterly by said highway 13 rods to a stake and stones on land of Reuben Greeley, thence W 13º S 10₺ rods to a stake & stones on said Farmer & Robinson's land, thence southerly by said Farmer & Robinsons land to the bound first mentioned ; containing about 23 square rods.

The North meeting-house, built by the Presbyterians in 1771, was at different periods occupied as a house of worship by the Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Bap- tists, and it was the innocent cause of not a little friction. The town meetings, with a few exceptions, were held here

HISTORY OF HUDSON
from 1778 to 1857, when the old, historical building, after braving the vicissitudes of eighty-six years, was torn down to make room upon the same site for the present town house, which was erected that year by Mr. William Ander- son of Windham, at the expense of the town of Hudson.

CHAPTER XIX
FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS
A militia law was enacted by the General Court of New Hampshire, in 1718, and published the following year. The law provided that all male persons from sixteen to sixty years of age, except Negroes and Indians, should per- form military service, with the following exceptions: Mem- bers of the General Court, ministers, deacons, physicians, school masters, ferrymen, justices of the peace, millers, and such persons as had before held military commissions.
Each private soldier was required to be furnished with a "Fire-Lock, Knapsack, Cartridge box, Worm and Prim- ing Wire, One Pound of Powder, twenty Bullets and twelve Flints, and to train four days in the year, and to muster once in three years." It was also made the duty of each town in the province to keep on hand a stock of ammuni- tion for the town's use, consisting of "One barrel of good Gun powder, 100 pounds of bullets and 300 flints for every sixty soldiers."
This law, with but little change, remained in force until the war of the Revolution.
Nottingham West, which previous to January 4, 1733, was a part of Dunstable, was, for many years after its set- tlement, situated on the northern frontier and exposed to all the dangers of border warfare. This fact caused, of necessity, almost every able bodied citizen of suitable age to become a soldier, and not a few shared personally in the conflicts with the French and Indians. The military spirit was fostered as a duty, and it has been said that "New England freedom placed in the hands of every child a gun as well as a spelling book, which made necessarily of every child not less a marksman than a scholar."

HISTORY OF HUDSON
For thirteen of the nineteen years, beginning with 1744 and ending with 1763, the interval scarcely one of peace, our ancestors were involved in this savage warfare for the defence of their homes, their families and their fire- sides, waged by their enemies with the avowed purpose of driving the English out of the country.
We now look with pride and admiration to the history of those years, recognizing as we do that it is wholly owing to the courage, constancy, endurance and sufferings of those ancestors that we now enjoy the rich inheritance they transmitted to us.
We would gladly know much more than it is now pos- sible to learn, of the personal history of the citizens of this town who served as soldiers in those wars-some under the brave Captain John Goffe, others with the famous " Rang- ers," of whom Captain Robert Rogers was the leader, some with Major Zaccheus Lovewell, a resident of this town until 1748, and others in the regiment commanded by Colonel Joseph Blanchard of Dunstable, and in other companies.
A period of Indian warfare began in March, 1744, and lasted until 1749. As in former wars, the Canada and eas- tern Indians sided with the French, and coming in large numbers from Canada and Nova Scotia, they prowled around the defenceless settlements, waylaying, murdering and scalping, or taking captives to Canada, the settlers of frontier towns until some of these no farther away than Peterborough, Lyndeborough and New Boston, became wholly deserted. In 1754, six years after the treaty of Aix La Chapelle between England and France was made, the last French and Indian war begun, which ended in[1763, after the capitulation of Quebec and the final conquest of Canada. Many men from this town did more or less service during two cruel wars, in guarding the frontiers and in other military acts.
The lists of names of Nottingham West men have been found, principally in Vol. 2, of the Adjutant General's Report for 1866.
227
FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS
Many others undoubtedly served in these scouting parties with the Rangers, the muster rolls of whom have not been preserved.

Jeremiah Blodgett, Ezekiel Greeley, John Marsh,
John Bradbury,
Nathaniel Hills.
In the muster rolls of Captain John Goffe's Company of twenty-four men engaged in the same duty in October and November, 1745, are these names from this town:

In 1760, a regiment of eight hundred men was raised for an expedition to invade Canada, under the command of Colonel John Goffe of Derryfield, now Manchester. This regiment had its rendezvous in Litchfield, and marched by the way of Monson (Milford), Peterborough and Keene to Number Four, and then cut a road through the wilderness twenty-six miles to the Green Mountains, and from thence proceeded to Crown Point, following the road that had been cut mainly by the Rangers under Captain John Stark the year previous.

230
HISTORY OF HUDSON
They had to clear the road-a mere bridle path-from Merrimack to Keene. They were forty-four days in cut- ting the road to the Green Mountains, which they crossed, packing or hauling their stores over them on horse-barrows.
A large drove of cattle followed them for the army at Crown Point. In this regiment we find the names of
John Caldwell, April 5 to November 27.
Amos Kenney, April 1 to November 27.
Samuel Kenney, March 14 to November 27.

Three years and four months later, April 17, 1779, the list of resident taxpayers contained one hundred and eighty- three names, an increase of forty-eight, or nearly thirty-six per cent.
More than half of this increase was due to the annex- ation, in March, 1778, of that part of Londonderry known as "Londonderry Claim," an account of which has been given in a former chapter of this history.
