The METHODIST CHURCH in Bristol dates its organization as a society from 1846, but, long before, a class had been formed, and, as early as 1800, William Case had been licensed by the Episcopal Methodist church to preach, had received . permit to be a missionary among the Indians of western New York, and was the pioneer of the denomination in town. A year or two later, Revs. McElhana, John Kaimbelin, Densmore, Lacy, and Minchell had visited these new settlements. They traveled a circuit of a hundred and fifty miles on horseback, from settlement to settlement, and held summer meetings in the woods. A class was organized in 1806, consisting of James Case, Betsey Case, James McCartney, Bathsheba McCartney, Miss McCartney, Mr. Johnson, William Boughton, and others, making eleven or twelve in all. James Case was class-leader the first year; Wil- liam Boughton was also a class-leader. Quarterly meetings were attended at No. 9. For years those removing or dying cqualed those joining. Their meetings were held at the school-house south of John Sisson's, on the corners, or at the house of James Case, who resided on the farm now owned by E. Barringer. A new class was organized in 1815, and George Reed, Jr., was chosen class-leader. The class was connected with the church at Richmond. In 1846, organization was effected, and Ephraim Gooding, George Gooding, Abner Reed, Alanson Reed, and Ward Tolman were chosen trustees.
The CHRISTIAN CHURCH had those who believed in its tenets and followed its requirements. Elders Philip Sanford and David Mellard held meetings about 1824, at what was called the Ganyard school-house, and during favorable weather the meetings were conducted in the adjoining grove. A meeting was called, De- cember 19, 1829, at the house of Daniel Reed, for the purpose of forming a church, and Elder Sanford was present. It was deemed expedient to organize a society, to be called the " Christian Church" of Bristol, and consisting of the following-named persons : Otis Bliss, David and Polly Wheaton, Caleb Bliss, John and Catharine Hicks, Daniel and Sally Rood, Betsey Pixley, and Sally Skinner. The organization lasted about twenty years.
The FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH in Bristol dates its origin far back to the early years, but its organization is quite recent. In 1828, Rev. Oliver Ackley, of the Universalist denomination, held meetings at the school-house on Baptist Hill, and, in warm weather, in the grove near the residence of J. W. Nichols. There had been occasional meetings held prior to 1828 by Rev. Mr. Morton. Within a few years, William J. Reese, G. W. Montgomery, and William Queil held stated meetings in the school-building mentioned. Rev. Queil was one of the first resident ministers. In the year 1836 a church edifice was erected. It was built of cobble-stones, and stood near the site of the present structure. The money to build was mainly raised by subscription. The deed was given to Joshua Phillips, Lyman Hawes, and about seventy others, to be used and occupied as a site for a meeting- or school-house, and for no other purpose. All subscribers of notable amounts are named in the deed. It was a two-storied building; the upper room was for the society, and would seat about two hundred and fifty persons ; one room below was occupied as a school-room. In the spring of 1837 it was deemed advisable to organize a society ; accordingly, a meeting was held April 10, 1837, and such society formed. Nathan West was chairman, and Nathaniel Fisher, Benjamin Simmons, and Anson Packard were elected trustees. In 1861, the interest of the school district was purchased by the society; the old church was taken down, and the present frame built, with a seating capacity of three hundred. At a meeting held February 2, 1872, a church was organized, called the " First Universalist Church" of Bristol, and consisted of the following-named individuals : Rev. L. P. Black more, Lida Blackmore; Aaron F., Eunice, and A. Carlisle Orcutt; Elkanah and Sarah S. Andrews; W. Scott and Eleanor A. Hicks; A. C., H. A., and Mary Hathaway ; Almeda Park ; Mrs. Muy E., Thomas, Ellen M., Samuel B., and Roxanna Dorrence; Robert B. Simmons, P. F. Hicks, Maria L. Francis, M. E. Paull, E. M. and George Bailey, S. A. Jones, Eliza Phillips, Zadia Case, Prudence Adams, and Looice Fletcher. The officers chosen were : Rev. L. P. Blackmore, moderator ; Mrs. Lida Blackmore, clerk ; George Bailey, treasurer; and Aaron F. Orcutt and Robert B. Simmons, deacons. A hundred families are now represented in the parish. The pastors, in the order of their succession, have been as follows: Oliver Ackley, Jacob Chase, William Queal,

The history of Bristol is that of a sober and industrious people. For eighteen years there has been no licensed saloon or tavern in the town, and the enrollment of the war record will approve the population not wanting in patriotism.
