HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
exercise a broader religious freedom. Neither Baptists, nor Quakers, nor Antinomians could be harbored in the Province of Massachusetts.
SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY.
The Masonian Proprietors, in imitation of the English gov- ernment, exercised great discretion, when, in giving grants of land, they provided that the ordinances of religion should be maintained. One of the essential duties of the grantees was to provide "a place of public worship," and maintain a learned and "orthodox minister."
In the charters obtained from executive or legislative author- ity, the same provisions were expressed. The most important votes at the annual town meetings related to "ministers" and "meeting-houses," and the raising of money to support them. The "standing order" was the congregational denomination or "the orthodox." To this denomination the appropriations made by the town for the support of the gospel were assigned, prior to the year 1819, when the "Toleration Act " was passed. After that the rights of all denominations were recognized, and every taxpayer had liberty to designate the religious society in town to which his proportion of the "minister's tax" should be paid.
In the grant to Stevenstown, 1749, as in grants of other townships, a right of land equal in amount to each of the other shares was assigned to the minister, which he was not only at liberty to use while he continued to preach the gospel to the people, but on his settlement the share became his property. Another right or share was "set apart for the support of the gospel ministry forever." These lots were to be laid out as "near the location of the meeting-house as convenient." Ten acres of land were to be laid out "in some convenient place, as the major part of said grantees shall determine, for a meeting- house, a school house, a muster field, a burying place and other public uses."
LOCATION OF THE MEETING-HOUSE.
From a very early map of the Merrimack valley, there appears to have been located a meeting-house not far from the west

bank of the river, in the vicinity of the fort, on the "Webster farm," near the Orphans' Home.
In 1765, when the people of Stevenstown petitioned for aid in settling the town, they represented that they had built a fort and were about to "build a meeting-house." It may be they had constructed one of logs previous to this date. There is some reason to believe that they had so done, but there is no accessible record to indicate it.
At a meeting of the Proprietors, held in Kingston, in 1764, Deacon Elisha Swett and Jonathan Woodman were constituted a committee to designate where the meeting-house should be located. This committee selected ten acres on the north side of what was afterwards called Searle's Hill, or, as Mr. Webster was accustomed to call it, "Mount Pisgah," about midway between the north and south lines of the township, but much nearer the eastern than the western border.
THE FIRST CEMETERY.
Here, soon after, the church was erected; a school house once stood near it, and just east of the meeting-house was the burying ground. In this cemetery sleep the early dead of Salisbury. Here the infant brothers and sisters, and the self- sacrificing mother of Daniel Webster were buried. Here was laid, near one hundred years ago, the wife of the first minister of the town, and others beside her, old and young,
" Who by the wayside fell and perished, Weary with the march of life."
This land, including the cemetery, afterwards came into the possession of Stephen Perrin. It was subsequently owned by David Pettengill, who sold it to Samuel Guilford. Guilford, having no respect for the dead, with sacriligious hands removed the grave-stones and plowed up the land, and the burial place disappeared. The land is now owned by John C. Smith, and is used as a pasture.
BUILDING THE MEETING-HOUSE.
After the selection of a lot of land, the earliest recorded action in relation to the erection of a meeting-house was in
I32
HISTORY OF SALISBURY.
1767, when the grantees voted "to build a meeting-house the same bigness as that in the second parish in Kingston," now East Kingston, and that "the pulpit be of the same size as the one at Hawke," now Danville. Capttain John Webster, Col. Ebenezer Stevens, Joseph Bean, Joshua Woodman, Dea. Elisha Swett and Joseph Woodman were chosen a committee "to see to the building of the meeting-house."
Voted, that "a tax of three and a half dollars be assessed on each taxable poll towards building the house."
As the sum raised was insufficient to meet the expense of the house, it was voted a few years later to raise an additional "tax of two and one-half dollars, to pay outstanding bills."
In the spring of 1768 the frame was erected, boarded and shingled, and the lower floor was laid. It was then voted "to sell the privilege for pews in the meeting-house to the highest bidder and lay out the money towards finishing s'd house."
SALE OF PEWS.
The sale appears to have been advertised, the conditions determined, and the pews to be sold designated. It took place at Kingston, April 7, 1768. The purchaser was required "to pay down the money or give security to the assessors." No. 3 was "struck off " to David Tilton, for £3, 13s .; the second pew on the left hand of the west door, to John Calef, for £3, 2S .; No. 4, on the floor, to Samuel French, for £3, 15s .; the second pew on the right hand of the east door, to Jonathan Ladd, for £3, 45., 6p. The sale was then adjourned to the 25th of May, to be held in Salisbury, at the house of Benjamin Sanborn.
The purchasers at the first sale were non-residents, though proprietors of shares. There were other non-residents who purchased pews, among them Hon. Josiah Bartlett, Governor of the State in 1790. He was accustomed to occupy his own pew when he visited his nephew, Dr. Joseph Bartlett. At the adjourned sale parties purchased as follows :

FURTHER MEETING-IIOUSE VOTES.
The records this year show that the bill of Joseph Bean was presented and paid : "To laying a plan and finding a place to build the meeting-house, and one day at Kingston, £1, 13s."
The building of this house was let in lots to different parties, the work to be done "by the job," the contractor to find all the material and do all the work pertaining to his contract. Among those to whom awards were made were Matthew and David Pettengill, David Tilton, William and Jonathan Webster, An- drew Bohonon, Jacob Gale and Thomas Welch. The town records of 1773 inform us that "Capt. John Webster did some work elapboarding," and "put in four windows." Ebenezer Webster, Joseph Bean and Capt. John Calef were a committee to see that the desk was built "in a workmanlike manner." Benjamin Huntoon, Ebenezer Stevens and Robert Smith were a committee to settle with those who purchased pews.
The timber for the church was procured near by, as the hill was covered with a heavy growth of oak and pine. The shingles were manufactured at the homes of the citizens-split and shaved after the manner of the times. The clapboards were also split out of clear pine and shaved by hand. They were bevelled at each end and lapped when laid. The boards were sawed at the Ebenezer Webster sawmill, on "Punch Brook."
At the first annual town meeting, in 1768, it was voted to appropriate "seven pounds, four shillings, l. m. to be paid for preaching, and Ebenezer Webster was chosen a committee to go after a minister." Although there is no record to indicate that he secured a preacher, it was very evident that he did, as it was voted "that the meetings be held at the house of Andrew

Pettengill," which was located where Deacon T. D. Little now resides. At the next annual meeting it was voted, "to raise twelve dollars towards supporting the gospel for the year ensu- ing." In 1770 six pounds were raised, and Lt. Matthew Pet- tengill, Andrew Pettengill and Sinkler Bean were chosen a committee to provide preaching. In October of the same year it was voted "that the parsonage lot should not be strewed with grain this year."
It is probable that the wood and timber had been cut on some part of the lot and the ground put in a state preparatory to a crop of winter grain, but for reasons that do not concern us the vote was passed as recorded. It may be presumed the people were disappointed in settling a minister that year, as they had arranged to do.
A PARSONAGE BUILT.
The parsonage was nearly ready to be occupied. It was located northwest of the meeting-house, on the ten acres re- served for public uses. The house was large, two stories high, the lower story extending back, and the roof of the main house covering the extension. It was what in those days was styled a "comb-case roof."
EARLY MINISTERS.
There is mention on the town records of several clergymen who preached a few times in the town. The Rev. Mr. Elliot was the first to whom "a call" was given. He accepted the invitation, the day was named for the ordination, and arrange- ments were made for the occasion in conformity with the cus- tom of the times. But, as the day approached, he evidently anticipated the many hardships that were before him in a new country, and seasonably asked to be released from all obliga- tions, as appears from a letter given in a future chapter.
The Rev. Mr. Searle, who had previously occupied the pulpit very acceptably, was then asked to become pastor of the church and people, and was the first settled minister in the town. He came in 1773, occupied the parsonage house, and resided there
I35
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.
until his death in 1819. A biographical sketch of Mr. Searle is given in a succeeding chapter.
After Mr. Searle's death the house was occupied by his son, Amos Searle, until his death in 1831. His widow, Hannah (Hoit) Searle, then occupied it, with her son, Daniel Franklin Searle, for some years. It was eventually sold and taken down, and the timber used in the construction of other buildings.
MATERIAL PROGRESS.
Not only ecclesiastical history has been made since the incor- poration of the town, up to this date, but municipal history as well. Building of houses and clearing of lands have been in progress. Mechanics have found work to be done. A settle- ment, commenced on the bank of the river, in the east part of the town, has been prospering; another, at what is known as "Smith's Corner," has been thriving and extending up the river to the "Mills." At "the Crank," or South Road, a little vil- lage has been springing up, and between Searle's Hill and the Blackwater many new buildings have been in process of con- struction, and new clearings in all directions appearing. The town has been making progress.
THE MEETING-HOUSE CONTROVERSY.
At this time, about the beginning of the year 1773, some restless spirits proposed the removal of the meeting-house. At a town meeting, April 9th, it was voted that "the meeting-house stand where it now is." No money was raised that year to sustain preaching. For several years the question of removing the church from the hill was seriously considered. It was dis- cussed throughout the town. Every man had formed an opin- ion and was ready to defend it. There was much excitement in regard to the matter, and no little bitterness of feeling was engendered. The population near the centre of the town had increased rapidly, and a rivalry existed between that village and the other at the South Road. The East Village barely held its own. New roads were opened, which gave advantage to the westerly section of the town, and the word went out, "The
136

church must be moved." The people in the northwest section united with those at the Centre Road and Garland's Hill, with a view to secure the location at the latter place. "The Crank" saw the advantage which the church would give that locality. Both parties were determined. As a result, local differences occurred, families were estranged, and the villages were nearly ready to go to war with each other.
This condition of affairs continued for several years. At length, at a town meeting held January 19, 1784, it was voted "to set the meeting-house on Capt. John Webster's land, oppo- site to Capt. Matthew Pettengill's northwest corner bound of his home lot." This was near the site of the present Congre- gational church, on the South Road.
Capt. John Webster offered to donate the land for that pur- pose, and on the 25th of April of that year a town meeting was called "to see if the town will accept the land and erect a church · there." Fifty-six voted in the affirmative and twenty-eight in the negative.
December 13th, 1785, it was voted "that all former votes concerning the meeting-house be null and void." It was then voted to set the meeting-house on Capt. John Webster's land, on the north side of "the Crank," so-called, in the place before mentioned.
At an adjourned meeting, December 27th, it was voted "not to ratify the vote for setting the meeting-house near 'the Crank' so-called," but it was unanimously "agreed that two places be nominated for to set s'd house, the one on Garland Hill, so- called, on the Centre Road, the other on the South Road, near where the school house lately stood, near Ensign John Web- ster's; and that two men, with two papers, the one for those to sign that would have the house on Garland Hill, the other for those that would have s'd house on the South Road, near where the school house lately stood, each person to sign for the place he pleases, and the place that has the most signers for it to be considered as the place for the meeting-house."
"Esquire Matthew Pettengill and Ensign Joseph Fifield were chosen to go to the inhabitants with said papers."
I37
ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.
At an adjourned meeting, January 10, 1786, voted "to accept Joseph Bean, Jr., for carrying the papers about town, as Ensign Fifield declined." The record says, "said Bean went in his stead ;" "when, upon counting the signers, it appeared that there were 81 signers for the meeting-house to set near the South Road, where the school house lately stood, and 46 signers for it to set on Garland Hill, so-called, on the Centre Road." John Swett, Lt. Robert Smith and Col. Ebenezer Webster were chosen a committee "to draw a plan of a house." They reported as follows: "That the house be 60 feet long, 44 feet wide, and 26 foot posts, or thereabout."
Voted, "to put up the frame of the meeting-house, by way of a tax on s'd town." The committee, "to see to the building of said frame," consisted of Edward Eastman, Ensign John Web- ster, Esq. Joseph Bean, Phinehas Bean, and John C. Gale. It was "to be put up as soon as may be convenient, in a work- manlike manner."
August 15th, the town voted "not to sell any pews in the meeting-house," and "not to take any method to procure land of Capt. Webster to set a meeting-house on." Voted "to hold church at private houses instead of on Searle's Hill, 50 votes in the affirmative and 49 against it." A vote was passed to build a new house, and a committee was appointed to buy the lumber. But September 4th, it was voted "to reconsider and annul all former votes relative to setting and building a meeting-house."
At a meeting held March 31, 1788, voted unanimously "to make use of the meeting-house timber as it was provided."
Voted, "To choose a committee to appoint a place for s'd meeting-house." The vote was not carried into effect, no com- mittee having been chosen, but at a subsequent meeting, on the 7th of April, it was voted, "50 for setting the meeting-house on Garland Hill and 49 to set it at 'the Crank,' so-called." This was the first vote in favor of the Garland Hill people, but they were not sufficiently united to build the house. At a meeting held October 22d, the town refused "to hold divine service at private houses as heretofore."
No further effort seems to have been made to locate and build
138

on Garland Hill, but it was voted, the people of that section favoring, that "the whole of the glass be taken out of the meet- ing-house after we have met in it four Sabbaths from this time." It was also voted "to have the meetings on Sabbath day, after the fourth Sabbath from this, removed for the winter season, two-fifths of the time on Centre Road, two-fifths on the east and north grant, and one-fifth on the South Road, near where they were held last winter."
July 13th, 1790, it was voted in town meeting "to choose a committee to agree what each pew owner shall be allowed for his privilege in the old meeting-house." At the same meeting the town voted "to sell the old meeting-house at a public ven- due and that the interest of what said house shall fetch shall be converted to the use of schooling, after the pew-owners have been paid what should be allowed to them by s'd committee."
THE OLD MEETING-HOUSE.
Diligent inquiry among old residents, and repeated search of the records of the town and the church, fail to give any infor- mation regarding the sale of the house. It is traditional that it was bought by leading citizens on the South Road, taken down, and, new timbers being supplied, re-erected a few rods southwest of its present location, some time between July 13, 1790, and the next ensuing April. From what follows it seems this may have been true, and that the purchasers formed a society for religious worship, for it is recorded that, "at a town meeting held at the meeting-house erected by the society, in said town, September 1, 1791, it was voted "that the inhabi- tants of this town above Blackwater river shall have the liberty of what money they pay towards the support of the gospel preached out amongst them, at such place as they shall agree on, and also be exempted from any cost in the settlement or parsonage house."
ANOTHER MEETING-HOUSE.
The following is from the records, apparently of the orig- inal society: "After hearing the offer of the Society which
139

built the meeting-house, which was as follows: 'Salisbury, August 31, 1791, at a meeting of the Meeting-house Society, held at the meeting-house, on Tuesday, the 30th day of August, instant, Voted to offer sd house to the town of Salisbury, for the town's use, on the following conditions, viz: that all and every part of sd house, which is sold and considered as individ- ual property, shall remain and continue the property of the purchasers, as individual persons or their assigns, and that any part of sd house which is appropriated by said Society, shall remain and continue for the use for which the same is appro- priated by sd Society, and that the undertakers for finishing sd house be held bound to finish said house according to their obligations to the Committee, and that sd house shall be con- sidered and improved, as a place of public worship, for the standing congregational order of worshipping christians and for the denomination of antipedobaptists, in proportion of time for each denomination as follows, viz: four days for antipedobap- tists to forty-eight days for the 'standing order,' which is agree- able to the original principles and intent of building sd house.'"
"Sd Society then voted to accept the sd meeting-house for the town's use, with the reserves before mentioned to those that built the said house, by a majority of 135 for accepting and 39 against it." The negative votes are recorded as follows :
