On the next page are copies of three receipts given by Mr. Wingate for notes received of the selectmen. It is with a sense of relief that we come to the close of this controversy, which has been so fully narrated for the special benefit of those people in Hampton Falls who expatiate on the good old times when there was but one church in the place, and the Congregational lion, the Unitarian lamb, the Presbyterian ox, and the Baptist walrus lay down lovingly together in Monument Square. Distance ever lends enchant- ment to our views. Rev. Paine Wingate, fourth pastor of the Hampton Falls Parish Church, was born in Amesbury, Mass., in 1739; graduated at Harvard in 1759; was ordained December 14, 1763, and "resigned March 18, 1776." "After his dismission he turned his attention to civil affairs, was honored with office, and was for many years one of the judges of New Hampshire. Died in Stratham, N. H., March 7, 1838, aged ninety-nine years."

Mr. Wingate lived with his one wife more than seventy years, and the births of two children are recorded. . When after his dismission he was a candidate for the State Senate and for Congress, he received a full vote in Hampton Falls. At a meeting December 1Ith it was voted not to hire any one to preach on probation, but it was voted to extend a call to Reverend Dr. Samuel Langdon to settle at a salary of £50 lawful money annually, or £42 and eight cords of good merchantable firewood.

"Three and sixpence of said money to be as good as one Bushel of Indian Corn; four Pence Equal to One Pound of Pork; Two Pence half Penny Equal to One Pound of Good Beef."

And the buildings and outside fences of the parsonage were to be kept in repair, "as has been usual in times past," the lands to be free of taxes.

Samuel Langdon's letter of acceptance was dated January 7, 1771. He

was born in Boston, Mass., in 1723; graduated at Harvard in 1740; opened a school in Portsmouth soon after ; was settled as pastor at Portsmouth from 1746 to 1774, after acting as associate pastor for one or two years ; president of Harvard from 1774 to 1780; installed pastor at Hampton Falls January 18. 1781, and died November 29, 1797, aged seventy-five, having been settled sixteen years.

We copy from F. B. Sanborn's interesting pamphlet entitled "President Langdon, a Biographical Tribute, 1904," the epitaph on the tombstone at Hampton Falls :

"Here lie the remains of REV.'D SAMUEL LANGDON, late pastor of Hamptonfalls; & for several years President of Cambridge University. His extensive knowledge, hospitality, Catholicism, Patriotism and Piety obtained & preserved the esteem, respect, admiration & love of the people of his charge & of his very numerous Acquaintances in this and the neighboring states, thro' a life of great usefulness to Mankind which ended Nov. 29th 1797, Aged 75."

March 12, 1798, it was voted to hire Mr. Abbott five Sabbaths on pro- bation, and at the expiration of that time a call was extended to him to settle as pastor. The terms offered him were the parsonage, as usual, ten cords of pine and hemlock wood delivered at his door, $200, and his choice between six cords of good merchantable hard wood and $25. May 7th, a month later, this offer was increased to "300 silver dollars," and his lengthy letter of acceptance, on record, is dated June 2, 1798.

Rev. Jacob Abbott was the only one of the six parish pastors born in New Hampshire, the rest all being natives of Massachusetts. All were graduates of Harvard, for that was then the only college in the country. Mr. Abbott was born at Wilton, N. H., in 1768, graduated in 1792, was ordained August 15, 1798, and resigned April 1, 1826, after a settlement of twenty-eight years. Mr. Abbott was drowned on Sabbath day, November 2, 1834, at Windham, N. H., aged sixty-six. He preached on the day of his death, and was return- ing from meeting in a boat across a pond in company with two of his own sons, a neighbor, and his son. Two of the young men escaped by swimming, Ebenezer Abbott clung to the boat and was saved, while the two elder men were drowned.

April 30, 1827, twenty-nine persons had legally organized themselves under the name of the "First Congregational Society in Hampton falls," which title is retained today by the organization known only to those outside as the Unitarian Church or Society. Of the twenty-nine constituent members of this society only two survive, Robert S. and True M. Prescott. The final division was evidently the result of the "half-way covenant," for preaching against which Jonathan Edwards, of immortal fame as a theologian, was driven from his life settlement at Northampton, Mass., and reduced to poverty by the sacrifice of his real estate in that place. A similar experience has been the lot of every earnest radical reformer since the world began.

On the 30th day of March, 1832, the selectmen sold the parsonage, land, buildings, and wood, and on the 8th of October the assessors of the Congre- gational Society receipted for $1,154.91, that being the proportion due said society. And at the annual meeting of this society April 4, 1836,-

"It was put to vote to see if the Society would give those persons who contemplated forming themselves into a new Society to be called the Hamp-

694

HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY

ton falls and Seabrook Congregational Society their proportion of the fund. Passed in the negative, six voting in favor, eight against."

But on second sober thought this decision was reversed, and at the next annual meeting, in 1837, it was

"Voted that the funds of the first Congregational society in Hampton falls be divided into two parts according to polls and retable estate of the year A. D. 1836 provided the disaffected part of said society, with such other members of said society as may join with them, shall form a separate society, and withabove form this society, producing a certificate from the Clerk of their society that they are actual members thereof."

The common fund at this time amounted to $1,500, of which the new society received $450. May 13, 1837, the following names are recorded as having withdrawn: Thayer S. Sanborn, Reuben Bachelder, Emery Bach- elder, Moses Bachelder, Samuel Bachelder, Jonathan Cram, Jr., Luke Averill, Joshua Pike, Jonathan Cram, Stephen Green, Robert S. Prescott, Josiah Bachelder, Sherburn W. Rand, Caleb Tilton, Rebecca F. Cram, and Polly Dow, of whom Deacons Emery Bachelder and Robert S. Prescott are the only survivors. Leaving to another the task of sketching the further history of those who remained, the writer will follow those who went out.

1834. While the Reverend Mr. Jerrett was preaching in Hampton Falls a meeting was held September 18, 1834, for the purpose of "taking into con- sideration the expediency of uniting the towns of Hampton Falls, Seabrook, and Kensington into one Evangelical Congregational Society." This meet- ing was adjourned from time to time, and as a final result of the deliberations had at these meetings "the Evangelical Congregational Society at Seabrook and Hampton Falls" was formed and a meeting-house erected. This stands near the line which separates the two towns. 1835. The people of Hampton Falls united with the people of Seabrook to support the gospel. They attended meeting together at the old meeting-house in Seabrook. The Rev. Jonathan Ward preached for them during the summer. The Rev. David Sunderland was employed during the next season. He preached part of the time in the old meeting-house and part of the time in the new house. 1836. The Rev. D. Sunderland was preaching in the place when the new house was dedicated. He preached in it for several months. During the remainder of the year and a part of the next the desk was supplied by occasional preachers, prin- cipally from the theological institution at Andover. 1837, February. On the first Sabbath in February, 1837, Deacon Timothy Abbott, a native of Andover, Mass., preached for the first time in the place. He graduated at Amherst College in 1833, completed his theological studies at Andover, Sep- tember, 1836, and was licensed by the Andover Association. After preach- ing a few months he received the following communication :

"REV. S. T. ABBOTT :

"SIR,-I am requested to inform you that the Seabrook and Hampton Falls Evangelical Congregational Society, at a meeting on the 24th of June inst., voted that the sum of five hundred dollars for one year be given you as a salary, and request you to settle as pastor of said society. They also request you to return an answer in writing as soon as the Ist day of July next, at which time this meeting stands adjourned.

"JACOB NOYES, Clerk of said Society.

"SEABROOK, June 27, 1837."

Mr. Abbott accepted July Ist and was ordained on the 12th, at which time twenty-two persons dismissed from the Hampton Falls Church, together with Widow Mehitable Eaton, formerly of the old church in Seabrook, were organized into a church styled "The First Evangelical Congregational Church of Seabrook and Hampton Falls."

1855, March 28th, after an injunction was served on Mr. Abbott he preached in his own house until a few weeks before his death, which occurred March 28, 1855. It cannot be denied that he labored faithfully for the welfare of his church and community. He stood stiffly upon his ecclesiastical rights, desiring to remain where he had built himself a house and spent seven- teen years of his life; while, on the other hand, the leading men of the church probably considered that they should be permitted to say who should minister to them. Under a more flexible system there might have been less friction.

The next minister was Rev. H. A. Lounsbury. He resigned in 1857. He was followed by Rev. Frank Haley in 1876 to 1881 and he by Rev. Joseph Boardman, who commenced September 4, 1881. The successors of .Mr. Boardman were: Rev. Andrew J. Small, Rev. Wm. H. Woodwell, and John W. Savage, the present pastor.

The Congregational Church in South Seabrook was organized July 9, 1867, with seventeen constituent members, fourteen of whom united on pro- fession of faith. This new church was the result of a series of meetings held in the district schoolhouse, under the leadership of Mr. William A. Rand, beginning January 27, 1867. In 1868 a house of worship was erected at a cost of about five thousand dollars, outside aid being received from fifty or more churches in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A native of Ports- mouth, N. H., Mr. Rand, at the time mentioned was studying with his brother, Rev. Edward A. Rand, pastor of the Congregational Church in Amesbury, Mass. After graduating from the Portsmouth High School, he learned the drug business with the late William R. Preston, of Portsmouth; at the age of twenty went to war as corporal of Company K, Sixteenth New Hampshire Volunteers, and while in service in Louisiana was converted as the result of meetings held in camp. After he was mustered out in 1863 he was employed for two years in the wholesale drug business in Boston; then a year in a retail store in Biddeford, Me., after which he left business to commence his studies for the ministry. Mr. Rand was licensed to preach by the Essex North Association at its annual meeting August, 1867, with the church in Ipswich, Mass. Continuing to labor in South Seabrook, he deferred the completion of his studies until 1872, when he entered the Theological Semi- nary at Andover, Mass., and while pursuing his course there continued to supply the infant church with the aid of his fellow-students. Graduating from Andover in July, 1875, he was immediately ordained and settled as pastor of this church, and has since continued to labor with them. Mr. Rand's work in this locality has been a unique one, for which few other men would have been so well adapted. There was need that law, order, temperance, and education should be presented as prominent features of the gospel, and this work Mr. Rand has done with marked success. Like all other good men engaged in a good work, he and his work have had their traducers. But, unmoved by these things, he has labored on, interested in both the spiritual and material welfare of the community in which he has

696

been providentially located. Through his efforts a post-office was estab- lished in that locality several years since, and in January, 1882, he received the appointment of postmaster, and was commissioned a justice of the peace. In South Seabrook Mr. Rand appears to have found his life-work at an early age, and to be content to labor on, making an indelible impression on the character of a whole community.

The Methodist Denomination in Seabrook .- According to the most reliable information now to be obtained, the first Methodist preaching in this town was by preachers from the East Salisbury Church about the year 1820 at the South Village. About that date "Uncle" Robert Dow and Thomas Fowler, two earnest Methodists in that locality, fitted up a house for a church, and services were held there by Reverends Mr. Aspinwall, Amos Worthen Prescott, and, some say, "Reformation John Adams."

A class was soon formed there with Robert Dow as leader, and weekly sessions were held alternately at his residence and that of Thomas Fowler. Mr. Dow lived on the place nearly opposite the Congregational Church. And near the year 1835 religious services were occasionally held in the Boyd school- house, on the Walton road, by Father Broadhead, a Methodist preacher.

As the result of this preliminary work the present church building was erected in 1836, in that part of the town known as Smith's Village, at the junction of the Newburyport and Amesbury roads.

And the class at the South Village then united with their Methodist brethren at Smith's Village in the formation of a Methodist Episcopal Church organized in due form. Rev. E. D. Trickey was the first preacher appointed by the Conference to the charge of this church.

The present church edifice was built in 1836, at a cost of about fifteen hundred dollars. In 1862 this house was enlarged and improved at an expense of about fifteen hundred dollars. These improvements were made under the supervision of the following committee: Jeremiah Smith, Moses Eaton, Jonathan G. Chase, True Morrill, and Jonathan Walton. In 1854 a parsonage was erected at a cost of about one thousand dollars, located on the Amesbury road, a short distance from the church.

The following is the list of preachers appointed to this charge by the Conference: E. D. Trickey, Warren Wilbur, James M. Young, Jacob Boyce,. Rufus Tilton, Caleb Duston, L. D. Blodgett, Joseph Palmer (supply), J. W. Huntley, J. C. Emerson, F. O. Barrows, Samuel Beede, D. W. Barber, A. C. Dutton, George W. T. Rogers, C. H. Smith, C. R. Homan, O. H. Call, Free- man Rider, H. B. Copp, J. L. Flood, T. H. Mason, William H. Hays, Hugh Montgomery, W. C. Bartlett, Lorenzo Draper, W. C. Yanson, E. C. Berry. Joseph P. Frye, George Wesley Buzzell. Rev. William Wilkins is the present minister.

SEABROOK

The Friends .- Among the religious organizations in the different parishes or towns set off from the early settled Town of Hampton, none date so far back as the Society of Friends in Seabrook. This society was organized in 1701, ten years before the first colony from the Hampton Congregational Church established itself in Hampton Falls. And the earliest records of Hampton Falls, which then included Seabrook, commencing with 1718, show

697

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

that the legal position of the Friends was at that time well defined, for in the warrants for the parish-meetings occurs this clause, "Quakers excepted." The period of their bitter persecution had then passed, and we will not here recall it. One of their speakers, a Mrs. Hussey, shared the fate of other inhabitants of Seabrook in a murderous attack by their savage foes.

Their house of worship was erected in 1765, two years after the old Presbyterian house.

This society has had no local speakers since the decease of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gove. Mrs. Gove was a very gifted speaker, and her departure in 1873 was commemorated by the poet Whittier in tender and touching lines. While these good old people commanded the respect of all, their mantle appears to have fallen on none. Their first house of worship was erected in 1703.

The Advent Church, Seabrook, was organized in 1868, with about forty members, and a church edifice erected in the following year.

Dearborn Academy was founded in 1854, by Edward Dearborn, an emi- nent physician and distinguished citizen of Seabrook. He endowed it with $15,000.
