Range 8-lots 1 and 2, were purchased and settled by STEPHEN PERKINS, who built a saw-mill in 1812-'13. He also had one set of mill-stones. In the summer of 1857, the banks by the side of the dam gave way, and the pond of about 7 acres was discharged in a short time, carrying off every bridge on the Great Brook. It was repaired, but gave way again before

the pond was quite filled. It was again repaired more thoroughly, and held until a heavy rain in the spring of 1869 carried off the new dam and all the bridges below. It was repaired, and when the pond was about half filled it burst through the quick- sands under the dam, and no more efforts to repair it were made. R. L. Martin then put in a steam-mill, which was burned in 1871, and he removed the remains of it to Harris Gore. Dudley Perkins and Silas Worthen occupy portions of these lots.

No. 3 was settled by Ralph Chamber- lain, of Hanover, N. H., and is now owned by his grandson, Jeremy Stone Chamber- lain. Plainfield Sulphur Springs are on this lot.

No. 4 was settled by David Benedict, of Randolph, who sold the southern part, now owned by Scott and Smith, to Amasa Bancroft, and the northern part, now owned by Goodrich, to Robert Carson. Feb. 29, 1816, an old house on this lot, occupied by Moses Reed, and used for a school-house, caught fire, and a little son of Reed was burned to death. David, Patrick and Woodman Reed were his sons ; Joanna (Mrs. William Parks) his daughter.

No. 5 was settled by Charles R. Wool- son, who sold the northern part to his wife's father, Moses Bancroft, of Ward, Mass., in Nov. 1796. Woolson was not able or willing to pay for his land the sec- ond time, and removed to New York, where he became rich. His son Ephraim getting homesick, returned, and bought back the old farm, on which he died. It is now owned by Erastus Batchelder. Mary, wife of S. O. Goodrich, and Sarah, wife of Joseph Lane, are Ephraim's daugh- ters.

Moses Bancroft had 4 sons : John, Charles, Chester and Baxter. John had 2 sons : Lewis, of Calais, and Preston, of Marshfield. Charles had a son Charles, and Mrs. Wm. Skinner and Mrs. Lewis Wood are his daughters. Baxter had but one child, Moses.

Baxter has resided in Plainfield longer than any other person-84 years. He says that as late as Oct. 1804, neither his father

nor any of the neighbors had chimneys to their houses. Stones were laid up into some form of a chimney for a few feet, and the smoke allowed to go out, if it would, through a hole in the roof. The roof for years was made of large pieces of elm bark, tied on with strings of the same. Sometimes a storm in the night would blow off these pieces, and his father would get up and tie them on again. It would often get on fire, and once the house burned down.

One summer they had nothing to eat but milk for a long time, until Willard Shep- hard gave them a bushel of rye very badly sprouted, but some of this ground and cooked tasted the best of anything he ever ate.

The senior Moses had a brother, Lieut. John Bancroft, a Revolutionary soldier. who began a clearing on Prentice Shep- hard's farm (lot 5, range I), but soon re- moved to the village. Amasa Bancroft was his son. C. Watrous and Carlos Ban- croft, of Montpelier, were his sons.

No. 6 contains the Bancroft Pond, and was purchased by Harvey Bancroft.

No. 7 was settled by Charles Bancroft, and is now owned by Gardner Heath.

No. 8 is mostly a swamp.

Range 9. Lot I is 110 rods long, and 7 rods wide at one end, and a point at the other. It was never sold by the original proprietors.

No. 2 was a part of Stephen Perkins' purchase, and is now owned by his grand- son, Emory F. Perkins.

No. 3 was settled by David Reed, of Hanover, N. H., in 1809, and is now own- ed by David Perkins.

David Reed and Ralph Chamberlain married sisters of Israel Goodwin, who lived many years in this town, but remov- ed to East Montpelier. T. Goodwin Reed is David's son.

No. 4, now owned by Erastus Batchel- der, was settled in 1796, by James Bout- well, of Barre, a relative of Col. Levi Boutwell, of Montpelier.

Oct. 9, 1804, snow fell to a great depth, some 3 or 4 feet. One Richardson, of Orange, started a bear out of his corn-

field, and followed it to Capt. Boutwell's and returned. Boutwell, Robert Carson, and Jeremy Stone, pursued it to the round mountain, north or east of Pigeon pond, where they treed her. Boutwell fired, wounding it in the neck, it ran by Carson who fired and missed. Stone followed after with an ax, having no gun, setting on the dogs. Stone soon saw the bear re- turning, perhaps to defend her cubs, and got upon a rock, and when the bear at- tempted to get on, tried to split its head open with the ax, but the bear instantly knocked it from his hand, mounted the rock, pushed Stone off from it into the snow, and then over on to his back, getting top of him. Stone put up his hand to push its head away from his, when his little finger went into the bear's mouth, which began to chew it. At this moment, Boutwell, who had reloaded and come up, fired, the bear's head being only a few inches from Stone's, and bruin fell dead.

Another time Boutwell went up on to the high, round topped hill north-east of his house, after partridges. He found a bear up a tree. His gun was loaded with shot and he had no ball. He drawed the shot and whittled a beach plug, with the end pointed, and loaded with this. The first shot had no effect, but the second killed the bear.

He was captain of the first militia com- pany in town ; was one of the selectmen from 1799, until his death, in 1813, of typhoid fever, at that time very prevalent and fatal. He was a man whose character was almost above reproach ; but his dog was even more strict in his faith and prac- tice than his master. The dog had learn- ed to observe the Sabbath, as intelligent dogs in Christian families often do, and never attempted to follow his master on that day. Once when Boutwell was on his way to church, he met a party in pur- suit of a bear, and they wished for the dog, which was a famous hunter. Bout- well went back with them to the house, and ordered the dog to follow them, but it refused. He called it to follow him, but it would not. He then took off his Sun- day clothes and put a gun on his shoulder,

when the dog, probably thinking that it was not Sunday after all, followed. Bout- well was justly punished for his duplicity by not getting the bear. The dog after- ward followed a deer into the woods, and was never seen again.

Lot 5 was first purchased of Heman Allen by Eathan Powers, who hired men to cut and burn wood for the ashes. Syl- vester Grinnel, a quaker, first resided up- on it.

Lot 6 was settled by Moses Bancroft's son, John. Charles Morse owns a portion of it.

No. 7 was settled by JEREMY STONE, of Ward, Mass., in 1796. He chose this place because he expected it would be near a good road. The legislature, in 1797, appointed a committee to work a road from Chelsea court house to Danville court house. This committee reported to the county court at Chelsea, in 1799, that they had built the road through Washington and Orange. A little work was done on it in Goshen gore, near Plainfield line, and the work abandoned. Ira Stone, Rev. Jesse Stone of Maine, and Jeremy Stone are his sons; Mrs. Hial P. Chamberlain and Mrs. Marian Stone Tarbell, his daugh- ters. His farm is now owned by Ira Rob- inson.

Lot 8 was settled by Daniel Rice, of Barre, in 1825. Dudley Marshall now re- sides upon it.

According to Thompson's Gazetteer, the town was organized Apr. 4, 1796, under the name of St. Andrew's gore, and Har- vey Bancroft elected town clerk. This is probably true, but it was illegal, a gore not having the power to form a town or- ganization. Nov. 6, 1797, the gore was incorporated into a town by the name of Plainfield, and the town meeting held at James Perry's, in Mar., 1798, is the first of which there is now any record, but was not the first, because called by Joshua Law- rence, James Perry, Moulton Batchelder, as sclectmen of Plainfield. At this meet- ing, Thomas Vincent was elected town clerk. Town meetings after this were held at Capt. Jonathan Kinne's until 1823, when they were held in the village.

PLAINFIELD.

In 1798, '99 and 1800, the road tax vo- ted was 4 days work for each poll. In 1798, the General Assembly, at the request of the town, voted a tax of one cent per acre, which was to be used to build roads. In 1807, another of three cents per acre was laid upon Plainfield. At that time, improved lands were listed at $1.75 per acre, unimproved not at all. Polls at $20, a yoke of oxen $10, houses worth less than $1000, 2 per cent, over $1000, 3 per cent. Interest money 6 per cent.

The first road in town was worked from Seth Freeman's north westerly to Hezekiah Davis'in Montpelier, as early as 1794, but no highways were laid out until June. 1799, when this and several others were laid.

In 1798 and 99, the town sent no repre- sentative, probably because a town with a grand list of less than $3,200 was not " doomed" to pay a state tax, if it sent no representative.

Thomas Vincent was a federalist. All the other representatives were republicans, until the reorganization of the parties under Jackson and Adams. After that they were all democrats except John Vin- cent, antimason, until the formation of the antislavery party, which elected D. A. Perry. Frank Hall was the only whig.

In Sept. 1801, Isaac Tichenor received Io votes for governor-all that were cast. In 1802, . Isaac Tichenor had 25, Jonas Galusha 23, which was the largest vote cast for several years.

PHYSICIANS.

The first physician in town was AM- HERST SIMONS, from Windham, Ct. He studied with Dr. Glysson, of Williams- town, and came to Plainfield in 1801. For many of the last years of his life he was blind.

Dr. EBENEZER CONANT studied with Dr. Robert Paddock, of Barre, and came to Plainfield in 1809. In 1832 he remov- ed into Marshfield, about 2 miles from Plainfield village, near Perkins' mill, but returned to Plainfield after a few years, where he died.

Dr. NATHANIEL BANCROFT was brought to Plainfield by his father, Harvey Ban-

croft, from Ward, Mass., when an infant. When 12 years old he went to Montpelier, where he attended school, and at last stud- ied medicine with Dr. Lamb. About 1822, he came to Plainfield to practice, where he remained until 1851, when he went to Ohio, where he stayed 2 years, thence to Belvidere, Ill. His pungent and witty sayings are still often quoted by his old friends in Plainfield.

Dr. DANIEL KELLOGG came to Plain- field in 1834, and built the brick house east of the hotel. His health failing he removed to Berlin in 1836, where he soon died.

Dr. JARED BASSETT came to Plainfield in 1839, and removed to Northfield in 1843, and thence to Chicago.

Dr. DANIEL BATES was here from 1845 to 1851.

Dr. STEPHEN BENNETT from 1851 to 1856, when he removed to Ohio.

DR. PHINEAS KELLOGG, of Brookfield, commenced practice here in 1851. He died of diphtheria Apr. 10, 1862, age 39.

Dr. WALTER S. VINCENT, of Chelsea, now of Burlington, had his residence here for several years, but a large part of the time he was surgeon in the Union army in the war of the rebellion.

Dr. DUDLEY B. SMITH, of Williams- town, came to Plainfield in 1856, and Dr. W. F. LAZELL, of Brookfield, came in the fall of 1867. They remain here now.

LAWYERS.

The first lawyer in town was CHARLES ROBY, who came about the year 1812- not long after the result of the Allen law- suit had put a mortgage on nearly every farm in town. Probably the people had no desire or money for any more lawsuits at that time, as he left soon.

In 1828, AZEL SPALDING, of Montpe- lier, now of Kansas, was here one year.

In 1833, SYLVESTER EATON, of Calais, came and stayed until 1838.

STILLMAN H. CURTIS was here from 1838 to 1843.

J. A. WING was here from 1836 to 1852, when he went on to his farm on Maple Hill, in Marshfield, where he stayed about

3 years, then moved to Plainfield, and from here to Montpelier in 1857.

In 1843 LEWIS CHAMBERLAIN came. He died in Aug. 1863, of dysentery, which was very prevalent and fatal at that time, there being 18 deaths from that disease, 16 of which were within or near the village.

CHARLES H. HEATH came here in 1859, and removed to Montpelier in 1872.

S. C. SHURTLEFF commenced the prac- tice of law here in 1864, and removed to Montpelier in 1877.

O. L. HOYT came here in 1873, and still remains.

THE FIRST CHURCH

was organized Nov. 13, 1799, at Jonathan Kinne's, under the name of

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IN PLAINFIELD.

The council called to organize this church was composed of Rev. Richard Ransom of Woodstock, Rev. John Ran- som of Rochester, Rev. James Hobart of Berlin, Dea. William Wood of Wood- stock, Capt. Peter Salter of Orange. Dea. Judah Willey, Henry Taft and Joseph Sterling, of Barre, were invited to join the council. The members embodied into a church were only six : Capt. Jonathan Kinne, James Perry, James Boutwell, Mrs. Esther Perry, Deborah Boutwell, Judith Batchelder. Others joined soon after. In June, 1801, they passed this vote :

" Whereas some members of the church are dissatisfied with the articles of faith, Therefore, Voted that the aggrieved mem- bers have liberty to select such articles as they are satisfied with, which when select- ed shall be considered the church articles of faith, not to prevent any from believing them as they now are.'

This compromise did not prevent the Methodist portion of the church from seceding in June, 1802, and forming anoth- er church. Those who left to join the Methodist were, Dea. James Perry, Esther Perry, Bradford Kinne, Ebenezer Free- man, Esther Freeman, John Chase, and Richard Kendrick. Those who remained with the original church were, Dea. Nehe- miah Mack, Moses Bancroft, Sally Ban- croft, James Boutwell, Deborah Boutwell, Jonathan Kinne, Lydia Kinne, Sanford

Kinne, Polly Kinne, Zopher Sturtevant, Polly Sturtevant, David Bancroft.

The same year Charles R. Woolson was unanimously expelled from the church for " neglect of family prayer, and public worship on Sunday and church meetings." Moulton Batchelder having joined the Methodists, on Sunday, Jan. 22, 1816, the following sentence of excommunication was read before the assembled congrega- tion :

" Whereas our brother, Moulton Batch- elder, has violated his solemn covenant obligations by neglecting the stated meet- ings of the church on the Sabbath and at other times, and going after, as we think, false teachers, and embracing dangerous errors and sentiments, derogatory to the character of an infinitely wise and holy God, We now, under the pressing obliga- tion of duty we owe to our Lord and Say- ior Jesus Christ, have undertaken this painful and bitter labor, and we hope in faithfulness and prayer, but without suc- cess. Therefore, according to the rule of Christ's family, we are under the painful necessity of saying unto you, and that in this public manner, that for these reasons, the door of our fellowship and commun- ion is closed against you, and you are no longer to be considered of this church and body ; but as an unprofitable branch, and therefore are now severed from this body. It is our humble prayer, that God will bless this our unpleasant, but plain duty to you, and open your understanding that you may see your error, and give you re- pentance, that you may enjoy his favor at last, and be gathered with all of the re- deemed from among men. to inhabit the new Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ is the joy and the light thereof."

I do not give these facts to increase the self-complacency of those at the present time, who are inclined to plume themselves upon their own superior liberality, and tolerance of differences of opinions. Such should consider, that people who thought their peculiar tenets of such vital impor- tance, that they incurred the dangers and hardships of a settlement in New England to establish them, could not be expected to see the result of their labors impaired or i destroyed, with indifference or equanimity.

Jonathan Kinne preached to the church until 1826; but was not ordained because he disbelieved in infant baptism.

PLAINFIELD.

Nathaniel Hurd was the acting pastor in 1826. [For his biography see Tinmouth, vol. III.] He was succeeded by John F. Stone.

In 1829, Joseph Thatcher became the first settled minister. He removed to Barre in 1834, and was succeeded by Mr. Hadley in 1836, by John Orr in 1839, Sam- uel Marsh in 1842, Calvin Granger in 1846, and A. S. Swift in 1849,-none of whom were settled ministers, however.

Rev. Joel Fisk was settled as pastor in May, 1855, and died Dec. 16, 1856. Soon after Rev. Horace Herrick became acting pastor, who was succeeded in 1861, by Rev. C. M. Winch, who remained until Nov., 1868, when he was succeeded by Horace Pratt, who removed in 1871.

After an interval of nearly 2 years, Charles Redfield became acting pastor, and in 1877, C. E. Ferrin was settled, and remained until his death, in 1881.

The deacons have been James Perry, Nehemiah Mack, George Ayers, Dan. Storrs, Justus Kinney, Emmons Taft.

Their first meeting-house was built in 1819, the second, on the same site, in 1854. Until the building of a church their meetings were usually held at the dwelling house of Jonathan Kinne.

THE METHODIST CHURCH

has no early records in Plainfield, and I am obliged to glean this account from va- rious sources. The first Methodist ser- mon preached in Plainfield was by the Rev. Nicholas Sneathen- or " Suethen," as his family write it-a very able man, who was chaplain of Congress in 1812. He came to Seth Freeman's, made known his name and occupation, and succeeded in attaching nearly all of the people in the southern part of the town to the Methodist church, including Dea. James Perry, who afterwards became a Methodist preacher. the first probably that resided in town.

A church was organized in 1801, or '2. It formed a part of Barre circuit. The first Methodist minister stationed at Plain- field that I can learn of was David Kil- burn, who was here in 1812 and 1825.

Rev. Thomas C. Pierce, who was mar- ried to Judge Kinne's daughter, Sally,

lived upon the Asa Washburn place in 1820. This, with 15 acres of land, was given to the Methodist church for a par- sonage by Judge Kinne. It was after- wards sold and the parsonage in the vil- lage bought.

Rev. John Lord was stationed here in 1823; - Harvey in 1827, '28; R. H. Deming, '30, '31 ; John Nason, '33, '34; N. Stone, '35; David Wilcox, '36, '37 ; Jacob Boyce, '38 ; Daniel Field, '39 ; J. L. Slason, '40 : John W. Wheeler, '41 ; Rich- ard Newell, '42, '43 ; Otis M. Legate, '44 ; H. P. Cushing, '45, '46; J. W. Perkins, '47, '48; Homer T. Jones, '49, '50; Mul- fred Bullard, '51 ; Peter Merrill, '52, '53 ; Alonzo Hitchcock, '54, '55, '62, '63; W. J. Kidder, '56, '57; Edmund Copeland, '58, '59, '69, '70; P. P. Ray, '60, '61 ; Joshua Gill, '64, '65 ; S. B. Currier, '66, '67 ; Andes T. Bullard, '68; Thomas Trevillian, '71 ; Joseph Hamilton, '72, '73, '74 ; Joseph O. Sherburn, '75, '76; W. H. Dean, '77, '78 ; Elihu Snow, '79, '80, '81.

Before the erection of a church their meetings were usually held at Elder James Perry's, or at Lieut. Joseph Batchelder's. In 1819 a house was built for the Metho- dist society in the village, with an agree- ment that when they had no preacher. "any other Christian denomination, such as Calvinists, Anti-Baptists, Freewill Bap- tists, Friends, so called, Universalists, etc., who had a preacher, might occupy it."

The following is a list of the contrib- utors to the building of this church :

Thomas Vincent, $100 ; Moulton Batch- elder, $100; Harvey Pitkin, $75; John Vincent, $60; Seth Cook, $50; Bradford Kinne, $50; Amherst Simons, $50; Seth Freeman, $50; Asa Bancroft, $30 ; Eben Dodge, Jr., $25 ; John Moors, $25 ; Eben- ezer Lyon, $25 ; Matthew Jack, $25 ; Na- than Freeman, $25 ; Benjamin F. Lamp- son, $25; Laomi Cree,'$25; Enoch Cate, $25 ; Ebenezer Freeman, $20 ; Samuel Wil- son, Jr., $20; Benjamin Whipple, $20 ; Earl Cate, $15; James Batchelder, $15; Joseph P. Page, $12 ; William Moors, $10 ; Friend M. Morse, $10; Solomon Bartlett, $10 ; Duron Whittlesey, $10 ; Andrew Jack, $10; Nehemiah Mack, Jr .. $5; Charles

Patterson, $5; Allen Martin, $5; Eben Martin, $5 ; Richard Kendrick, $3 ; Elisha Mack, $2; total, $947. $100 was paid for the site, leaving the cost of the house about $850.

In 1852, this was sold to the Baptists and removed, and another built at a cost of a little less than $1,600.

The Vermont Annual Conference was held at Plainfield in 1855, Bishop Edward R. Ames presiding.

The present number in full member- ship, 132 ; probationers, 14.

FROM REV. J. R. BARTLETT, OF BARRE.

Rev. Nicholas Snethen, who is men- tioned as the first Methodist preacher who visited Plainfield, was the pioneer Metho- dist preacher in this State. His appoint- ment to Vermont was in 1796, and as he labored in this State but one year, it must have been at that time that he appeared in Plainfield. The records of " Vershire cir- cuit," which was the name of the appoint- ment in the earliest days, are probably not now in existence; but those of " Barre circuit," formed in 1804, are still preserv- ed, and state that the first "quarterly meeting" for Barre circuit was held in Plainfield, Aug. 4th and 5th, 1864, and in Plainfield a little later. The records give Bradford Kinne, Richard Kendrick and Ebenezer Freeman as leaders, 17, 16 and Il members, respectively, and four "on trial." Mr. Kinne was also a local preach- er, and a very active man in the church, and the Rev. Bradford Kinne Pierce, D. D., now the editor of Zion's Herald, published in Boston, was named for him, being the son of Rev. Thomas C. Pierce, and there- fore the grandson of Mr. Kinne, who is mentioned in the foregoing sketch as ·· Judge " Kinne.

This town was included in Barre circuit until 1838, and hence was visited by the appointees to that circuit at stated inter- vals as a regular preaching place. The names given in the foregoing sketch as Methodist preachers stationed here, are, in several instances at least, of appointees to Barre circuit, there being each year

them usually resident at Plainfield. On and after the conference of 1838, this sta- tion lost its identity with Barre circuit, and the preachers were appointed directly to Plainfield. The complete list of Meth- odist preachers on Vershire circuit to 1804, and on Barre circuit from that time to 1838, may be found in the history of Barre. The condition of this church has been par- ticularly prosperous during the last three years, about one-third of its present mem- bership having been added during that time.

Barre, Feb. 3, 1882.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH

was organized Oct. 17, 1809, at the school- house near Dea. James Perry's (South district.) The members were: James Boutwell and wife, who withdrew from the Congregationalist church for that purpose, Jacob Perkins, Stephen Perkins and his wife Nancy, John Bancroft and his wife Phœbe. Elder Jabez Cottle and Elder Elijah Huntington were the clergymen present.

At the next meeting Philip Wheeler made a profession of religion, and joined the church. He became pastor afterwards, living near the center of Montpelier, but in 1826, sold his farm, and a house was built for him near the Plainfield Springs. In a few years after this, Stephen Perkins refused to commune, for the reason that Elder Wheeler had said that " he would not baptize a person that he knew intend- ed to join another church." Soon after this, he and his brother Jonathan with- drew from the church. The result of this dissension was, that Elder Wheeler soon closed his pastoral labor with this church, and removed into Marshfield, one half mile east of Plainfield village, where he died.

After Elder Wheeler's dismissal, they were supplied at intervals by different cler- gymen, none of them living in town ex- cept Rev. Friend Blood.

In 1852, the Baptist churches in Plain- field and Marshfield united, and Abraham Bedel became their pastor, residing in Plainfield. The Methodist church was two or three such appointees, and one of | purchased, removed and repaired. Mr.

PLAINFIELD.

Bedel was succeeded in 1858 by Mr. Kel- ton, he in 1859 by S. A. Blake, and he in 1860 by N. W. Smith, who removed in 1862. After that they had only occa- sional preaching, and in 1871 their church was sold and converted into stores.

THE RESTORATIONIST SOCIETY was organized in 1820, but had only occa- sional preaching until in 1840, Rev. L. H. Tabor came to Plainfield, and a church was erected costing $1,770 above the foundations, exclusive of furniture and the bell, the whole amounting to about $2,300.

Mr. Tabor remained 3 years only. The pulpit was afterwards supplied a part of the time by Mark M. Powers, of Washing- ton, and Rufus S. Sanborn, of Barre. They were succeeded in 1854 by William Sias, who remained one or two years.
