One-fourth of the population may properly be classed as Methodists. November, 1879, the church was reorganized. Ann MI. Nelson is recording sec- retary. It consists of one class, of which the pastor is leader. It contains thirty-four members, twelve males and twenty-two females.

The official board : Trustees, Ezra F. Currier, John M. Tukesbury, John B. Morrill, Jacob H. Sanborn, Ann M. Nelson, Mary R. N. Robinson ; Stewards, Ezra F. Currier, Arthur T. Robinson, Robert E. Rude, Charles A. Sleeper, Ann M. Nelson ; John B. Morrill, superintendent of Sabbath-school.

1880 and 1881, Rev. Fred. E. White in " charge." During these years the congregations were sustained. There was an attendance in good weather and favor- able circumstances of one hundred persons, some- times more; by estimation, an average attendance of

seventy through the year. A bequest of five hundred dollars, made during Mr. Carter's ministry by Mrs. Elizabeth Towle, was realized this year. Mr. White was favored with the friendship of the people. His successor, now in "charge" for 1882, is Alexander McGregor.

The Baptists .- The Baptists were first known in this town some time between 1750 and 1776. The first Baptist Church in New Hampshire was organ- ized in Newton in 1755, and it is probable that some of its members resided in East Kingston. Seven persons, viz. : Jonathan Blasdell, Henry Blas- dell, Samuel Carter, Philip Rowell, Abraham Brown, Edmund Pillsbury, and Sarah Graves, were freed from paying minister tax to the town for the year 1776 and thereafter, they being Quakers, churchmen, and Baptists.

In the winter of 1781, Abraham Brown took his family on an ox-sled to meeting at the old Philip Morrill house, beyond the Falls, where probably a portion of the worshipers were from South Hampton and Newton. Mr. Brown died in February, 1781. The Sabbath previously he attended meeting at Little River, in North Hampton. On his way homeward he was assaulted in the woods, causing a bruise which he carried to his grave the following week. He died on Thursday, at the age of thirty-five years. IIe evidently was a teacher among his brethren, though not an ordained preacher.

His widow kept open house for public worship and the hospitable entertainment of preachers and others.

Dr. Samuel Shepard, who was born in Salisbury, Mass., in 1739, was ordained at Stratham in 1771, and had settled in Brentwood, where a church was formed the same year, which a number of persons from East Kingston joined. Dr. Shepard often preached and baptized at East Kingston and neigh- boring towns accessible to the Baptists of this place. He had the care of the young and struggling churches in this vicinity, and fully earned the title of bishop among them. "In this town and South Hampton there were many converted during the summer of 1792." Henry Gale, Reuben Dow, and others were baptized.

Thomas Nichols, of Harvard, Mass., preached here and in various towns in the vicinity. "He was a faithful man, but of slender constitution, whose zeal went beyond his strength in his labors. After a long illness he died a triumphant death, at the house of Widow Brown."

Rev. John Peak, a native of Walpole, N. H., re- moved to Deerfield in 1793, preaching not only there but in this and other towns. In 1795 Mr. Peak settled in Newton, and continued to preach fre- quently and baptize in East Kingston.

This year Mrs. Abigail (Tappan) Gale, widow of Col. Jacob Gale, with several of her children and neighbors, were baptized by Elder Peak, and united with the church in Newton. A number of genera-

tions of Gales, Browns, Eastmans, and Blaisdells were Baptists.

In 1797 the town "voted that the Baptists should have a portion of the parsonage money, and lay it out as they see fit, and have the meeting-house when not occupied." For many years from this there were contentions among the several denominations in re- gard to their rights in the meeting-house and to the parsonage, sometimes one and then another party prevailing. In 1812 the controversy was partially settled by "allowing the several denominations their proportionate share of the meeting-house and of the parsonage money, and refraining from raising money by tax to support preaching."

Benjamin Paul, a mulatto, preached for a time.

John Pillsbury, a young man who had been preach- ing in this town and vicinity, sickened and died at the house of Widow Brown.

After the removal of Elder Peak from this vicinity, the death of Dr. Shepard and others, the Baptists had meetings less frequently.

In 1825, Joseph Corliss, a widower, married Mrs. Mary James, of Pittsfield. They labored earnestly to advance Baptist interests, and a number of persons living here united with churches of the same faith in neighboring towns.

Delia Brown was baptized in Powow River, at the Falls, by Rev. James Barnarby, and joined the church of which he was pastor at Salisbury and Amesbury Mills. She died of consumption, wonderfully tri- umphant, Sept. 7, 1832, in the thirty-fourth year of her age. Rebecca (Gale) Sanborn, Jane Tilton, Jabez D. James and wife and daughter, with Mr. and Mrs. Corliss, joined the church in South Hampton.

Mrs. Corliss died Jan. 13, 1858, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. Mr. Corliss died April 5, 1859, aged eighty-one years. Since their time there has been little effort made to advance the Baptist cause. In 1876, Rev. James Graham came to this place; an in- terest was awakened, several persons were hopefully converted, and others reclaimed from a backsliding state under his ministry; but he and his friends thought it not profitable to the cause of God to build up a separate denominational interest. There are twelve persons who still are Baptists, only three of whom are church-members,-a' less number than at any previous time for more than a century.

Other ministers who have labored here, and of whom honorable mention should be made, are Revs. Ferdinand Ellis, Samuel Cook, John Newton Browne, Timothy P. Ropes, and James A. Boswell.

Adventists .- In the autumn of 1839, William Miller gave a course of lectures in Exeter, which attracted unusual attention. Many from this place went to hear, and were interested. Other public speakers who had embraced Mr. Miller's views lec- tured in the place, among them the eloquent Rev. Charles Fitch. In 1841 a camp-meeting was held here, which attracted a large crowd.

HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Many exaggerated reports were circulated concern- ing this and other kindred gatherings. That this meet- ing did not partake of the obnoxious qualities charged against them appears by the following account, written by John G. Whittier, one of the most enlightened and impartial observers:

"On my way eastward," says Whittier, " I spent an hour or two at a camp-ground of the Second Adventists in East Kingston. The spot was well chosen. A tall growth of pine and hemlock threw its melancholy shadow over the multitude, who were arranged on rough seats of boards and logs. Several hundreds, perhaps a thousand, people were present and more were rapidly coming. Drawn about in a circle, forming a background of snowy whiteness to the dark masses of men and foliage, were the white tents, and back of them the provision-stalls and cook- shops. When I reached the ground a hymn, the words of which I could not distinguish, was pealing through the dim aisles of the forest. I know nothing of music, having neither par nor taste for it, but I could readily see that it luul its effect upon the multitude before me, kindling to higher intensity their already excited enthusiasm. The preachers were placed in a rude pulpit of rough boards, carpeted only by the dead forest leaves and flowers, and tasseled not with silk and velvet, but with the green bonghs of the sombre hemlocks around it. One of them followed the music in an earnest exhortation on the duty of preparing for the great event. Occasionally he was really eloquent, and his description of the last day had all the terrible distinctness of Annell's painting of the ' End of the World.' Suspended from the front of the rude pulpit were two broad sheets of canvas, upon one of which was the figure of a man, the bead of gold, the breast and arms of silver, the belly and sides of brass, the legs of iron, and feet of clay,-the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. On the other were depicted the wonders of the Apocalyptic vision,-the beasts, the dragons, the scarlet woman seen by the Seer of Patmos,-ori- ental types and figures and mystic symbols, translated into staring Yan- kee realities and exhibited like the beasts of a traveling menagerie. One horrible image, with its hideons heads and scaly caudal extremity, re- minded me of the tremendous line of Milton, who, in speaking of the same evil dragon, describes him as 'swingeing the scaly horrors of his folded tail.' To an imaginative mind the scene was full of novel interest. The white circle of tents, the dim wood arches, the uptorned, earnest faces, the lond voices of the speakers, burdened with the awful symbolic laugnage of the Bible, the smoke from the fires, rising like incense from forest altars, carried one back to the days of primitive worship, when the groves were God's first temples."

From this meeting an influence went out into all the surrounding country. It was a season of awaken- ing and religious zeal, even with those who did not embrace these peculiar views. At this time the be- lievers in Advent doctrines were numerous, and there were many conversions from the world, as well as proselytes from the churches.

From 1841 to 1846 there was a continued interest, and a large number of persons professed to submit themselves to God. Not only in these years, but afterwards in 1847 and 1854, very many were earnest and sincere in looking for the coming of the Lord "in the clouds of heaven." They have as yet been disap- pointed, but still cling to the hope very firmly, with Scotland's fairest poet, that

" The morn will come, nay, He himself, Brighter than morn's best ray, Sball come to bid the night depart, And bring at last the day."

In July, 1860, Rev. James White, now of Ports- mouth, preached here, and in the following November moved his family into the town. He stayed nearly two years, and in a letter lately written says, "Forty persons were converted." "Most of the people were favorable."

Had they continued united, they would have been a very influential and useful people. But a few left them through disappointment; others were conten- tious on points of doctrine in no way connected with the original "message." They separated into parties, and with their loss of union their influence was largely gone. There are now, including children, twenty-four persons styled " Adventists," nearly one- half of whom are church-members. Eight are voters, and four are over seventy years of age. They repre- sent three distinct parties, though most of them do not belong to any organized body. Rev. John G. P. Cruse, a resident of the town, is a true immersionist, and holds meetings often at his own house ; but rarely preaches to any considerable congregation. Pro- minent among Adventists have been John Towle, Reuben W. Currier, and many others, with a large number of worthy Christian women.

The Universalists .- We cannot ascertain when the Universalists first came to this town. Revs. Sebastian L. Streeter and Hosea Ballou were early preachers here, and the earliest of which we have certain knowledge. Mr. Streeter commenced his pastorate in Portsmouth in 1815, and closed it in 1824. During this time he occasionally preached here. His " home" or stopping-place was with Esquire Ed- ward Greeley, who died Nov. 5, 1817. From the above and traditional accounts our conclusion is that it was not far from 1814.

A lady, born in 1806, remembers well Esquire Greeley and Mr. Streeter, and thinks we are as nearly correct in the time as can be ascertained, unless there are records somewhere to which we have not access.

Rev. E. Il. Lake with his family resided in town a number of years, but preached here only a part of the time.

One-fourth of the inhabitants are strongly attached to Universalist doctrines and usages, and are not fa- vorably disposed to what are usually termed “ evan- gelical views," though they claim that theirs are the most evangelical of any that are promulgated.

There is now a singular apathy existing with them in relation to meetings. They have had but a few for a number of years last past. Several families attend service on the Sabbath in Kingston, where is a pros- perous society.

During the lives of Amos M. Batchelder, Enoch S. French, John Woodman, John Philbrick, Josiah Greeley, and their contemporaries, who first embraced Universalist sentiments, all of whom are now gone, exertions were made to support preaching and dissem- inate their doctrines, which a portion of the people readily accepted. The ministers who preached here after Messrs. Streeter and Ballou were Revs. Russell Streeter, Charles Spear, Thomas G. Farnsworth, Thomas Whittemore, James Shrigley, S. S. Fletcher, Calvin Damon, Willard Spaulding, Henry Jewell, Nathan R. Wright, J. P. Greenwood, J. J. Locke, and Edwin J. Lake. Most of these were men of

ability and accomplishments, who were active and fervent in their labors. None of them preached for a great length of time. They have never had a per- manent settled pastor.

The Christians have had for many years an influ- ence and a few adherents. As early as 1792, Rev. Elias Smith, then a Baptist, preached here and bap- tized. Gradually he separated from the Baptists, and with others started a new party called Christians. After this he preached here and in other towns in this vicinity. He possessed superior talents and was a great favorite with his friends, but was unstable in his doctrinal views. Others who have preached here acceptably are Revs. Henry Rottle, John llarriman, Elijah Shaw, Julius C. Blodgett, Henry Plummer, Simeon Swett, Edwin Burnham, and Daniel P. Pike. But more than any other was Rev. Samuel E. Brown, whose home was here for many years, and who labored without fee or reward. The Christians have done little here for thirty years last past. There are now fifteen or twenty persons connected with them, about one-fourth of whom are church-members, though not all attached to any organization.

The Free-Will Baptists have had preaching here in past years, but no membership, as they at once co- alesced with the Christians. The Rev. Benjamin Fer- nald, who had labored in places not very far distant, came here in 1856 and preached from two to three years, including the years 1857 and 1858, to good con- gregations and general acceptance. Ile preached to a Union congregation, and made no efforts to build up his or any other denomination. A number of other Free-Will Baptist preachers have officiated here. Mrs. Judith (French) Carter, of Newton, was the most prominent and intelligent lady of that faith who has resided in the town.

Catholics .- There are four families of Irish Cath- olics. They do not hold public meetings. Their priests sometimes visit them, we have been informed. In the summer season thirty or forty French Cana- dians, some of them with families, work here at brick- making. They have no influence on the permanent inhabitants, nor have the latter perceptibly on them.

Representatives .- In 1772, Nathaniel Batchelder and Jacob Gale were delegates to a convention in Exeter. In 1774, Jacob Gale and Ebenezer Batchel- der were delegates to a convention in Exeter.

In 1780 the towns of Kingston and East Kingston united in choosing Nathaniel Batchelder a represen- tative to the General Assembly to be holden at Exe- ter, empowered to join in calling a convention to settle a plan of government.

In 1783 East Kingston united with Kingston in the choice of a representative to meet at Concord in June, 1784. At that session East Kingston was joined per- manently with South Hampton as classed towns, and representatives were chosen from them alternately. This continued till 1840, when an act was passed au- thorizing each town to send thereafter a representa" | three years, and in the other ten years moderate

tive annually. At the June session of the Legislature of 1878 an act was passed changing the representa- tion, nniting East Kingston and South Hampton as classed towns, so that in the November following a representative was shosen by the two towns united for the biennial session of the years 1879 and 1880.

Political .- We have given a list of representatives for one hundred years, or three generations from the establishment of the government. For the first gen- eration we cannot state their differences of opinion politically, if any existed. In the early days of the republic the people were active, patriotic, and self- sacrificing. On the latter part of the first generation new issues arose, principles were discussed, and parties were formed, so we are able to write with certainty in relation to the political character of the representa- tives of the last two generations. During the second generation, a part of the time a classed town, South Hampton furnished twelve representatives. Two years it was voted not to send; of the remaining twenty years, the regularly nominated Democrats were suc- cessful seven years, the regular Federalists or Whigs

Democrats, supported by the combined opposition, were elected over the regular Democratic nominee.

For the last generation the Democrats have elected their regular ticket twenty years, and the Republicans have elected theirs thirteen years.
