Doctor Lathrop, of West Springfield, Mass., and supplied the desk of the Presbyterian church of New Boston in May, 1805; was ordained and settled as pastor of that church Feb. 26, 1806. He rapidly rose to distinction as a preacher, and as a pastor he was eminently successful. A contemporary said of him: "Mr. Bradford was literally one of Nature's noblemen ; of princely person, with a sonorous, commanding voice, exceedingly fluent and accurate in speech, modeled somewhat after Johnson's style; so richly gifted in mind and heart that, with little prepara- tion for his Sabbath services, he stood among the first preachers in the state." He d. Dec. 14, 1845. At the time of his death ten of his children were living, two having d. in their childhood, making twelve in all. Five sons were in Detroit. Two daughters were married ; one res. in New Boston, and one in Mississippi, and one son and one dau. res. at home with their mother.

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and his name should have been in the list (on p. 236). His son, B. P. Brooks, writes that he often heard him repeat a song composed by a soldier, when on a march just before a battle, that was never printed, but we give the following, which is all he, the son, remembers : -
" We marched on to Highland height, Where, on the cold ground, we staid all night, Awaiting for the break of day, Resolving then to give them play.
CHORUS. - " Doodle, doodle dandy, Cornstalks, rum, and home-made brandy; A little molasses, and a piece of pork, And so we marched on towards New York."
Major Brooks came to H. as early as 1786, and settled and built the old house at the place marked " M. N. Spalding." .In 1810 he purchased the Lieut. John Cummings farm, marked "J. Barney." A few years before his death, he rem. to Greenfield. He was a blacksmith, besides being a farmer, and held in town many impor- tant positions ; was representative to the general court ten years ; all of them in succession, with the exception of 1802, and no record is made of that year.
