About This Book

A pastor presents a concise institutional history of a Connecticut community and its Congregational church, drawing on town, proprietor, and church records and personal recollections. He traces early land grants and settlement, population growth, civic institutions such as schools, bridges, and town government, and the church’s organization, ministers, and divisions into other societies. The discourse notes wartime service and local measures for supporting families and enforcing morality, describes economic arrangements for clergy and poor relief, and records denominational developments including Quaker and other congregations, aiming to connect past practices and records to present civic and religious identity.
