THE CHURCHES OF RICHMOND
constitute no inconsiderable portion of its history; they represent the permanently progressive element of the population, and bring to prominent mention the best class of citizens. The first sermon in the new settlement was preached in 1792, by Rev. Samuel Mills. In 1795, Rev. Zadoc Hunn was engaged by Captain Pitts and his sons to preach in his settlement one-eighth of his time, till his death. Occasional services were held, but not regularly, until 1798, when Deacon Na- thaniel Harmon moved in from Vermont. There was a revival in 1799, at- tended by several conversions.
The FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH of Richmond was organized by Rev. Joseph Grover and Rev. Jacob Cram, November 4, 1802, with eleven members. On the following Sabbath three others joined them, making fourteen, whose names were, Peter Pitts, Nathaniel Harmon, Oliver Butrick, William Warner, Elies Gilbert, Joseph M. Gilbert, Abiel Harmon, Lina Chipman, Polly Gilbert, Candace Gilbert, Phebe Chamberlain, Ebenezer Coburn, Abigail Pitts, and Rebekah Reed. Nathaniel Harmon and Elias Gilbert were the first deacons. The first regular meeting of the society was held May 24, 1803, at the house of Elias Gilbert, and on June 14 following the church was received in connection with the Ontario association. It was voted at the annual meeting, in 1804, to purchase of David Crooks ten acres of land, located in the centre of the town, for a " burying-ground and meeting-house green." The purchase was effected, but no steps taken to erect a building. Meanwhile, arrangements were made to build a commodious school-house, which should be serviceable for Sabbath meetings.
On March 6, 1806, the society voted to pay the trustees of the Centre school two hundred dollars, to assist the district to build a school-house sufficiently large to answer the society as a house of worship. The church became Presbyterian after the dissolution of the association, and was placed in care of the Geneva pres- bytery September 20, 1810, and when the Ontario presbytery was organized, was assigned to it. In 1843 the church returned to the original mode of government, and, August 27, 1844, was struck from the roll of churches belonging to the presbytery.
About 1828 several members ware dismissed, to form the church of South Richmond. Members of this and other churches formed an independent church, on ultra-abolition principles, and held services at Honeoye. For a number of years the members of the church have mainly attended at Honeoye, and been for- mally connected with that church. The church, in 1825, had one hundred and six members, and in 1837 one hundred and twenty-one. Revivals added heavily

to the strength of the society. They increased the body in 1817 by fifty, in 1827 by thirty-seven, and in 1831 by fifty-nine. After the organization of the church Rev. Abijah Warren was a stated supply for one-fourth of the time. During 1805, Rev. Samuel Fuller, ministering one-half his time, was called to the pastoral charge, and declined. In 1808, Rev. Aaron C. Collins was asked to become pastor, and accepting, was installed by the Ontario association, and did not resign till August, 1816. In September following, Rev. Warren Day, from Sharon, Vermont, began to serve the church ; ordained and installed March 3, 1819, and resigned October 28, 1828. He was succeeded by Rev. Orange Lyman, 1828 to 1834. Revs. H. B. Pierpont and Jacob Burbank served for brief periods. Rev. Linus W. Billington was installed November 11, 1835, and dismissed May 5, 1841. Revs. Benedict, Darwin, Chichester, and Sydney Mills officiated till July, 1845. Other parties have served as follows: Rev. Warren Day, 1845 to 1849; Rev. L. W. Billington, 1849 to 1852; Rev. Lyman Manly, 1852 to 1858; and Rev. Milton Buttolph, 1858 to 1861. During Rev. Collins' pastorate the society erected an ample and substantial house of worship; it was completed and dedi- cated at the close of 1818; the audience-room was about forty-four feet square. A parsonage was built, in 1835, at the centre of the town.
The FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH of Honeoye was organized in No- vember, 1854, by Rev. Cyrus Pitts, of Honeoye, assisted by Rev. Mr. Fisher, of West Bloomfield, and consisted of the following members: Cyrus Pitts, George W. Pitts, D. Leonard Hamilton, Dennis Pennell, Mrs. Cyrus Pitts, Mrs. George W. Pitts, and Mrs. Dennis Pennell. George W. Pitts and D. Leonard Hamilton were chosen deacons.
During the fall months of 1862 measures of organization and of greater church efficiency were undertaken, and articles of faith and covenant were adopted. The first house of worship was small and limited in accommodation. In 1861 the society erected a neat, tasteful church edifice, and gave it considerable enlargement and improvement in 1869. Up to 1871, the whole number who had been mem- bers of the church was one hundred and eight. Died, nine. Dismissed, eleven. Present number, ninety-one. Forty-eight joined on profession of faith, and sixty upon certificate from other churches. The succession of ministers has been as follows : Rev. Cyrus Pitts, November, 1854, to May, 1855; Rev. R. W. Payne, 1855 to 1858; Rev. Milton Buttolf (ministering also to the Centre church), 1858 to 1861; Rev. Isaac N. Ely, August, 1861, to April, 1862; and Rev. S. Mills Day, from April, 1862, to the present (October, 1876). A Sabbath-school has been connected with the church for several years, and is in a flourishing condition. It numbers one hundred and sixty-seven in attendance, and is super- intended by Rev. S. Mills Day.
A BAPTIST CHURCH was organised about 1808, with forty members. The first meetings were held in the school-house near Mr. Wilson's. They built a church edifice in 1832. The members have connected themselves with a church in Livingston county, and no society now exists in the town.
The PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH of Honeoye has an early origin and interesting history. In 1808, Davenport Phelps, an English clergyman of the Episcopal faith, came through this county on a mission tour. Preaching at various places, he labored to organize a church at Allen's Hill. His efforts were seconded by Orra Clark, of Geneva. The church was organized, and the first regular annual meeting held, April 19, 1813. The following officers were then elected : Samuel Whitney and David Crawford, wardens; David Akins, Lemuel Chipman, William Smith, Eli Hill, Dennis Whitney, James Henderson, Orra Akins, and Peter Allen, vestrymen ; and William Smith, clerk. The first settled minister was Alanson W. Welton, who began in about 1815, and remained sev- eral years, not only serving the church, but doing mission work in various local- ities. Meetings were held in the hotel hall of L. Chipman until the church was built, in 1814-15. The architect and builder was Colonel Smith, of Livonia. The building was finished by L. Chipman and N. Allen, and accounts audited show the cost to have been one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two dollars and nineteen cents. A record as "St. Paul's church," dates April 7, 1817, when, at the annual meeting, James Sibley was clerk, and William Smith had retired from the office. The church was consecrated September, 1817, by Bishop Hobart, then of New York city. Sixteen members were confirmed, one of whom, Warren Pierpont, of West Bloomfield, is the sole survivor. On October 30 a meeting was held, and November 25 appointed for the sale of the forty-two pews of the church at auction, the payment to be in quarterly installments, the first falling due March, 1818. The sale occurred, and each purchaser received a war- ranty deed of his pew. The highest amounts paid were by Lemuel Chipman and Nathaniel, two hundred and fifty dollars each. The persons buying pews are named as follows : L. Chipman, N. Allen, Gideon Gates, Samuel Whitney, Lyman Whitney, Uriel Akin, Dennis Whitney, James Sibley, Titus Welton, David Pierpont, Cyrus Wells, Orra Akin, Daniel Holmes, Lemuel C. Curtis, Samuel Taggart, Reuben Hickox, Alanson W. Welton, Thomas Willson, Benj. Boyd, John
Jerome, Daniel V. Bissell, Daniel Bissell, and Nathan Hicks. Allen, Gates, Pierpont, Curtis, Taggart, D. Bissell, and Hicks were not church members. Unsold pews were disposed of February 23, 1818. Pew No. 4 was reserved for the family of the clergyman ; Nos. 9, 10, 12, and 13 were " reserved for other persons," referring to seats for visitors. The amount realized by sale of pews was three thousand three hundred and ninety-four dollars and fifty cents. Land for a church and cemetery was given by Nathaniel Allen. A "bee" was made to clear the grounds for the cemetery. William Smith and Captain Stewart remained to finish after the rest had departed. It was near night of a day in May. One said, " Who do you think will be the first to be buried here ? Per- haps it may be you." The other said, " It is just as likely to be you." It proved to be not one, but both, for Captain Stewart was laid to rest within a month, and William Smith in August following. At an adjourned meeting, held January 8, 1823, wardens and vestrymen were voted to obligate themselves to pay the pastor, Rev. George H. Norton, three hundred dollars salary, the same to be raised by subscription. Rev. Mr. Norton, here mentioned as commencing his pastorate, continued for about twenty years. Originally strong, the church has now become weak by removals and deaths. Judge Harry Smith is one of the oldest members. The old church edifice, repaired and repainted several times, yet stands. The officiating clergyman is Rev. Henry H. Brown, of East Bloomfield, who preaches in both parishes.
The METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH in Richmond was organized at the house of William Baker, who, with Tilness Bentley, were prominent members. The house of worship was erected on land now owned by D. A. Pierpont, and deeded by Joshua Phillips. It was quite a large structure, and, in accordance with the times, was constructed with galleries, sloping, and built along the sides. A reorganization took place January 24, 1859, at the old edifice. J. D. Bentley, Nelson Ogden, and Jesse Lee Stout were elected trustees, and the house con- tinued to be used till near the completion of the church at Allen's Hill. The society moved to the new building with unchanged organization. The construc- tion of the new church was begun in 1860, by George I. Brown and John Ogden, the contractors. It was completed and dedicated July 6, 1861, by Rev. William H. Goodwin. The building is a frame, thirty-five by fifty feet in dimensions, and is supplied with a belfry and bell. Among pastors may be named Robert Hancock, Jonathan Benson, George W. Chandler, J. T. Arnold, Alonso Shurtliff, John J. Wilson, H. C. Woods, J. 8. Lemon, G. H. Dryer, and S. D. Pickett. These have mostly remained but short periods. A. T. West is the present pastor. Membership of the church, seventy-one. A Sabbath-school has for years been connected with the church.
The FIRST METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH has a more recent history. About 1830, Dr. Covill came out from the city of New York, and began to hold meetings in the old tavern ball-room at Honeoye. Later, meetings were held at the school-house. A revival resulted, and, numbers authorizing, a church was organized in 1832, with quite a large enrollment, among whose names are found those of John Pennell, Abram Pennell, Caleb Arnold, Isaac De Mill, Asa Bishop, John G. Briggs, Thomas Barkley, Job Cobb, Cheney Abbey, Ira Allen, Artemus Biggs, John Pennell, Sr., Peter Pitts, Jr., Joshua Colburn, their wives, and Oliver Adams. Dr. Covill was the first pastor. He was succeeded by Isaac Fisher ; then came Rev. Andrews and James Gay.
A church edifice was erected in 1832, at a cost of three thousand dollars. It was thirty six by forty-eight feet, and seated comfortably three hundred persons. A bell weighing nine hundred pounds was purchased, at a cost of two hundred and fifty dollars.
In February, 1869, the church was burned, and this was a crippling blow. The society gradually became reduced in numbers; those remaining sold the site, upon which a dwelling now stands, and the organization has completed its existence.

GILBERT WILLSON .- AGED 91.
NATHANIEL WILLSON, born in Rehobeth, Massachusetts, followed the sea early in life, and subsequently engaged in farming. He was twice married; his first wife was Miss Turner. There was born to them a large family, of whom Gilbert Willson, the subject of this sketch, was the third. He was born December 19, 1785, in Richmond, Berkshire county, Massachusetts. In 1789 the family re- moved to West Stockbridge, where the son aided in carrying on a farm and re- ceived a common school education. His marriage in the spring of 1810 to Electra Hendricks led him to consider the subject of providing for himself and wife a permanent home. His wife was a native of Massachusetts, and at the time of her death, which took place in 1816, was a member of the Baptist church ; she left three children to mourn her loss, two girls and a boy, all living. Mrs. Harriet Peck is a resident of Richmond; Elizabeth Warren lives in Wisconsin; and Mar- cius Willson, born in the early part of 1814, is a citizen of Vineland, New Jersey, and has become quite extensively known as a historian and as the author of Willson's School Readers.
In 1821, Gilbert Willson set out with horse and sleigh for the Genesee country, whose fame had for years been known to all the Eastern States, and had constantly drawn from the citizens of the most enterprising, and in many instances the most needy. The journey began with a sleigh and was completed in a wagon. He had purchased a farm of ninety-five acres from Nathaniel Allen in Richmond, and to its cultivation gave his time and attention. Some time later Mr. Willson mar- ried Selecta Spencer, daughter of Daniel Spencer, of West Stockbridge, and for years the family were known as kind neighbors, attendants upon Christian service, and emulous of providing for their children the boon of a good education. Mrs. Willson died in February, 1845, and her remains were laid to rest in the ceme- tery at Allen's Hill. Marcius Willson, the son heretofore named, obtained what education the Richmond schools could furnish; then attended school at
Genesee, and subsequently engaged temporarily in teaching. He graduated at Union College, Schenectady, and returning to Ontario, became principal of the Canandaigua Academy. He employed his leisure in reading law and was admitted to the bar, but was prevented by ill health from engaging in legal practice. He has published a history of the United States, and his school readers are too well known to require more than mention. During that storm of excitement and in- dignation aroused by the abduction of William Morgan, Gilbert Willson took strong grounds as an anti-Mason, and at more recent date had placed himself in the dominant party, and actively labored for the union of the country and the fur- therance of its best interests. The duty of every citizen to express himself in the exercise of the elective franchise is a point in his political creed, hence he has never missed an important election since he came to the town, and now at the ad- vanced age of nearly ninety-one years he looks forward to one more vote for the nominees of his party, Hayes and Wheeler. It seems almost superfluous to men- tion the fact that Mr. Willson has been called from time to time to hold various town offices, that of supervisor having been placed in his hands several terms. He and his deceased wife were members of the Baptist denomination. The society has no place of meeting in his neighborhood, hence a present attendance with the Meth- odist Episcopal brethren. His life, though humble, has a power. His memory extends beyond the lives of most in the town, of which he is the oldest resident. What has become history to most men is a vivid recollection to him. He has lived to see the forest felled and homes surrounded with all the comforts known to the old home East. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren have grown up around him, and, with but few exceptions, are yet active in the dis- charge of daily duties. Mr. Willson is the sole survivor of twenty-one chil- dren. He looks now, in his age, upon the benefits of a total abstinence from tobacco and whisky, and rightfully attributes his longevity to a life of temperance.
