PREFACE. 
 
 I am requested to make, and it seems to be proper that I 
 should make, a statement of my connection with this history 
 of the town of Sunderland. 
 
 The compilation of that portion of the history for which 
 I am responsible was commenced and finished very many 
 years ago. It grew out of my strong interest in my native 
 town and its people, fostered by an acquaintance with its 
 records and traditions ; perhaps, also, by a fondness for his- 
 torical studies. It is made up almost entirely from the rec- 
 ords of the town, with a few facts, chiefly personal details, 
 obtained from outside sources. It was never intended for 
 publication. If it had been, the writer would, perhaps, have 
 made it up on a different plan, and after a much more ex- 
 haustive study of the subject. 
 
 After the completion of the history of the first period, down 
 to 1753. amid the avocations of a busy life, I waited for the 
 leisure and opportunity to complete the work, which never 
 came, and it long since became evident that my labor in this 
 line was ended. 
 
 I had resolved to give my manuscript, which was contained 
 in a bound volume suitable for preservation, to the town, to 
 be kept in its Clerk's office or Public Library, when I was 
 advised by Mr. Smith of his inclination to write the history 
 of the town, with the assistance of my collections, and I very 
 gladly turned over to him my manuscript, and other papers. 
 
 I think it will be found that he has completed a history 
 which will be of great interest and value to present and fu- 
 ture generations. 
 
 Something further should be said with regard to the 
 Genealogical Record, which has received additions from time 
 to time as the years went on. It was intended to embrace 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 those persons shown by record, tradition, or contemporaneous 
 knowledge to be inhabitants of the town down to about 
 1840. Very few families whose habitancy began since that 
 date, appear in its pages. It is made up from the town and 
 church records of Sunderland, Montague and Leverett, from 
 family records, from inscriptions on tombstones, from printed 
 genealogies and local histories, and the results of a somewhat 
 extensive correspondence. Some of the families are carried 
 into the towns of Montague and Leverett, since the partition 
 of the original town, and the ancestry of some of the early 
 settlers is given, back to the original emigrant. There are, 
 of course, some mistakes. Probably no town or family gen- 
 ealogy was ever printed which did not contain errors. It is 
 impossible, from the manner in which information is supplied 
 and collected, that it should be otherwise. I trust, however, 
 there are no mistakes in the lines of descent which I have 
 recorded. 
 
 The above applies to the genealogical record as I left it. 
 It has now received corrections and additions at the hand of 
 Miss Abbie T. Montague, whose reputation as a genealogist 
 is not merely local. Under these circumstances, it seems 
 that she must share the responsibility for any errors which 
 still remain.

EDITOR'S PREFACE. 
 
 Through the courtesy of my fellow townsmen, the records 
 of Sunderland have been confided to my care for more than 
 thirty years — a term sufficient to warrant an extended ac- 
 quaintance with their contents, to which is added a life-long 
 familiarity with the neighborhood and its conditions. Per- 
 haps a natural taste for noting the changes which mark the 
 progress of New England towns may have been a family 
 trait, as more than one generation of my family have held 
 the same office in this town for long periods; to whom is due 
 the credit for an unbroken series, business records and notes 
 of town affairs such as would honor any community. I need 
 only mention the names of my grandfather, Dea. John Mon- 
 tague, and his son-in-law, Hon. Horace W. Taft, who together 
 held the office of Town Clerk successively 82 years, imme- 
 diately preceding my own incumbency, to recall to you their 
 distinguished services. Rarely has a New England town 
 been so fortunate in its public officials as by the two persons 
 above named. Still more rarely has the series of acts which 
 make the beginning and development of a town, survived 
 the wear and tear of centuries, the dangers of fire and water, 
 and the deterioration of time and the depredation of insects 
 and the carelessness of indifference. 
 
 But in Sunderland the original records are extant, are 
 readable writing upon unbroken pages, and with proper 
 care can be transmitted to our successors to endure another 
 hundred years, bearing living testimony of those who have 
 "fought a good fight" and are at rest. 
 
 Long before the interest in American local history had 
 been awakened, Henry W. Taft (son of the Sunderland law- 
 yer who held the office of Town Clerk) began a thorough 
 
VI EDITOR S PREFACE. 
 
 research among the pioneer families of the Connecticut River 
 settlements and made a genealogical table of all those whose 
 names were connected with the beginnings of Sunderland. 
 
 It would be superfluous in me to attempt the record of his 
 work which has been maintained in the hours which could 
 be spared from his legal duties during his professional career 
 of more than 50 years. 
 
 His authority as to the genealogy of the Connecticut River 
 Valley families is second to none in America. His reputa- 
 tion for accurate scholarship and legal accumen, his precision 
 regarding dates, and his memory of the days that are gone, 
 are so widely understood and acknowledged, that his name 
 alone is a tower of strength. When it was rumored several 
 years since that Mr. Taft had begun a history of his native 
 town, the citizens of Sunderland were not slow to testify their 
 interest by voting to pay the cost of publishing his book. 
 The vote had been endorsed and repeated at subsequent town 
 meetings, and it was Mr. Taft's intention to accept the honor 
 thus conferred. Ill health has prevented the completion of 
 his work, most of which is included in this resume. 
 
 It would have been more to my liking and more acceptable 
 to Mr. Taft's friends, as well as more in accordance with the 
 inner structure of the volume, had it borne the title " Taft's 
 History of Sunderland," as the public had a right to expect 
 it would be named, and I trust it will always be called by its 
 friends. 
 
 The extreme modesty of Mr. Taft has been shown in for- 
 bidding the use of his name in its title, lest thereby he should 
 seem to have assumed more than his own — a modesty the 
 more to be regretted, as it was largely affection, respect and 
 sympathy of his friends and relatives which called out their 
 gratuitous assistance to complete this work. The manu- 
 scripts of Mr. Taft which occupy the place of honor in this 
 book and which I accepted from him with many misgivings 
 regarding my own abilities, were not his only contribution 
 to its general interest. He has continued to advise about its 
 arrangement, decided knotty points, settled contradictory 
 authorities and served as a living reference in many minor 
 details. The genealogical section owes its origin wholly to 
 Mr. Taft. The recent additions to it, which add to its im- 
 portance by connecting the present generations with their 
 
editor's preface. vii 
 
 almost forgotten ancestors, has been the work of Miss Abbie 
 T. Montague, to whom revisions and corrections from Mas- 
 sachusetts State records and other historical sources, is glad- 
 ly and gratefully credited. However great the labor has 
 been, her enthusiasm and perseverance have surpassed and 
 overcome the difficulty and brought the Genealogy to its 
 present completeness. There have been many willing 
 helpers. Most of the Biographical sketches have been re- 
 ceived from family connections, or the facts have been fur- 
 nished by descendants. It has been cause for regret that 
 the space for these has been necessarily curtailed. 
 
 Acknowledgments are due from the Editors to Mrs. Fan- 
 ny Montague Stockbridge, and to her son Hon. Henry Stock- 
 bridge, Jr., of Baltimore, Md., to Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard 
 Alvord of Winsted, Conn., to Messrs Jesse L. Delano, Alden 
 Graves, Avery D. Hubbard, John R. Smith, Rev. E. P. Butler 
 and Miss Jane Montague of Sunderland, for valuable assist- 
 ance rendered, to many others of our town people for expres- 
 sions of encouragement and interest in the undertaking and 
 for information when sought; to the town of Sunderland for 
 their generous offer to print the work. 
 
 Of my own share in the work as editor, revisor and con- 
 tributor — I crave a kindly estimate. It has been solely a la- 
 bor of love — undertaken at the suggestion of those whose 
 assistance and approval I most value. Though many might 
 have brought greater talents to this task, there are none now 
 living in Sunderland whose familiar knowledge and whose 
 memory of the locations and traditions of the town extended 
 over so long a line of years as my own.

HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 The settlement of the territory, which now constitutes the 
 Commonwealth of Massachusetts, commenced with the land- 
 ing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, Dec. 22, 1620. 
 
 In 1628 a company sent out by the Massachusetts colony 
 established themselves at Salem ; and the government of 
 the colony being removed to New England with Gov. John 
 Winthrop in 1630, this fact, together with the growing ap- 
 prehension of fevil to follow in the then foreseen and rapidly 
 approaching conflict between the English government and 
 people, so increased the number of emigrants, that it is sup- 
 posed that several thousand persons had removed to New 
 England by the 3''ear 1642. 
 
 Among the early settlers (1630- 1634) were those who found- 
 ed the towns of Roxbury, Dorchester, Cambridge and Wa- 
 tertown. These places soon became "too strait for them" 
 and they were attracted westward, by descriptions of the 
 rich and fertile lands which were awaiting cultivation in the 
 then newly discovered valley of the Connecticut. The Mas- 
 sachusetts government at first resisted their entreaties to be 
 allowed to emigrate thither, but finally yielded, so that in 
 1636 a large number of the inhabitants of the towns above 
 named, moved on through the wilderness and settled the 
 towns of Springfield, Windsor, Hartford and Weathersfield. 
 The three towns last named were soon found, contrary to 
 the original expectation, to fall within the limits of the new- 
 ly patented colony of Connecticut. 
 
2 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 The new settlements were almost immediately involved in 
 tlie famous Pequot war of 1637, but they prospered and the 
 number of inhabitants increased. In the course of a few 
 years, however, bitter theological controversies arose in the 
 churches of Weathersfield and Hartford, the exact nature of 
 which it is now difficult to determine, and these controversies 
 gave rise to a new emigration in the year 1659, when a large 
 number from the towns above named, with a less number 
 from the town of Windsor, removed within the jurisdiction 
 of Massachusetts and settled the town of Hadley, then ex- 
 tending across the river and including a large part of the 
 present town of Hatfield. Among these first settlers of 
 Hadley were several of the original emigrants from Eng- 
 land, and with them came Rev. John Russell, and it is sup- 
 posed a majority of the members of his church in Weathers- 
 field. 
 
 The emigrants to New England for the first twenty or 
 thirty years, were some of them men of ample means and 
 high social position, but the greater part were of the middle 
 class, yeomen and artisans, but possessed of some estate. 
 They were earnest, hardy, devout men, whose object in emi- 
 grating was not merely to increase their worldly prosperity, 
 but to be free to worship God in their own way without fear 
 and without constraint and to escape the enforced religious 
 conformity of the mother land. They depended upon agri- 
 culture for their subsistence, and they, at first, naturally 
 sought out the valleys and the banks of the rivers where 
 the land was most fertile and most easy of cultivation. 
 They were obliged to live compactly for the purpose of 
 mutual protection, and when they had fully occupied their 
 limited intervals they began to look for and colonize new 
 lands, while they possessed large tracts of upland still un- 
 cultivated and unsubdued. It is a peculiar feature in New 
 England history, that the new were ever the children of the 
 older towns or plantations — colonies going out together 
 from the mother country, neighbors and relatives with like 
 purposes, habits and character, pursuing the old labors and 
 maintaining the old relations in the new home. 
 
 Hatfield was separated from Hadley and erected into a 
 separate township in 1670, and in 1672 we find the inhabit- 
 ants of Hadley, which then embraced a territory of forty 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 3 
 
 square miles, applying to the General Court for more land, 
 alleging in their petition that "our interval land by reason 
 of the high situation of it being seldom flooded, and so not 
 continuing to yield grass as in the plantations down the 
 river and as here formerly." And in 1729 our town of Sun- 
 derland, then containing probably not more than three hun- 
 dred inhabitants, asked, for similar reasons, an addition to 
 its territory then containing about thirty-six square miles. 
 The petition of Hadley was granted in 1673 by an addi- 
 tion of a strip two miles in width on the eastern border of 
 the town ; but some of the inhabitants had other views than 
 the enlargement of their boundaries to the east and south. 
 They had found that there was good land upon the river to 
 the northward, and beyond their bounds, and they presented 
 another petition to the General court at the May session 
 1673, for the grant of a new plantation, which was acceded 
 to by the Court in the following enactment, which was the 
 first step in the settlement of the town of Sunderland : 
 
 '•Att a Generall Court for Elections held at Boston 7th May 
 1673. Ill an''"', to the peticon of sundry inhabitants of Hadley the 
 Court judgeth it meete to grant the peticoners request i, e., the 
 quantity of sixe miles square in the place desired, i. e., lying nere 
 to the northward bounds of Hadley &c. : provided, thatw'^'in seven 
 years or sooner, if it may be, there be a competent number of fam- 
 ilyes setled there, and prouide themselves of an able & orthodox 
 minister: & for their encouragement in so good a worke, this Court 
 orders, & appoints, & Impowers Majo'' John Pynchon, Left. W'". 
 Clarke &: M^. W'". Holton, to be a comittee to order in the meane- 
 time their prudentiall affaires, granting of lotts & otherwise reserv- 
 ing in some convenient place, two hundred & fifty acres of land for 
 a farme for the country's use & disposall." 
 
 At the time this grant was made, the plantation of Squa- 
 keake, now Northfield, was in process of settlement, having 
 been granted in October, 1672. Deerfield was the most 
 northern settlement on the west side of the river; from 
 thence to Canada was an unbroken wilderness. Of the com- 
 mittee appointed to oversee the new plantation, Maj. Pynchon 
 was of Springfield, and the most important and influential 
 man in the County of Hampshire ; Messrs. Clarke and Hol- 
 ton were prominent citizens of Northampton. 
 
4 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 For nearly forty years the white settlers and the Indians 
 had lived together in peace in the Connecticut Valley. The 
 natives were comparatively few in number, and in the Spring 
 of 1673 when the above grant was made, there was no indi- 
 cation or apprehension that the existing friendly relation 
 with them was about to be disturbed. It has been assumed 
 by historians that little, if any, progress was made in the set- 
 tlement of the town before the breaking out of the Indian 
 War in 1675, but although the records of the proprietors are 
 lost or destroyed, and tradition is almost silent, yet the little 
 information which has come down to us, tends to the con- 
 clusion that Sunderland was in fact settled and inhabited in 
 the Spring of 1675. The records which have come down to 
 us are as follows; the proprietors through the agency of Maj. 
 Pynchon apparently obtained from the Indians deeds of the 
 land to which they claimed title, which are recorded on the 
 Town Records of Sunderland in these words :

 These deeds were recorded in 1714 after the town was re- 
 granted by the Legislature, no record of the doings of the 
 proprietors of 1674 being now extant. 
 
 At the May session of the General Court in 1674 a petition 
 was presented by the committee having the new plantation 
 in charge, upon which action was taken as follows : 
 
 " This Honord Court having in May, 1673, granted a tract of land 
 to some of Hadley, reserving two hundred & fiuety acres of land for 
 a farme for the country, we, the subscribers being the comittee for 
 that plantation, doe offer to this honourd Court the consideration of 
 the sniale tract of land there, which is of any worth for improve- 
 ment, being in all but nine hundred and thirty acres of plowing 
 land, swampe land for meadow and upland for their home lotts. 
 The whole hauing bien measured, wee find but so much, the rest 
 being barren pine land as farr as yet wee can learn or vnderstand; 
 So that if two hundred & fiuety acres be taken out of it for the 
 countrys farme, it must vnavoidably spoyle the place for a planta- 
 tion, & to lay out the farme on the barren pyne land will be to de- 
 ceive the country. Wherefore we lay the case before this honored 
 Court, hoping they will see cause to allow the whole land to the 
 plantation, & release the countrys farme or allow to be layd out on 
 the out bounds of the plantation or in some other place w'^'' may be 
 better for the country. 
 
 Subscribed John Pynchon 
 
 June 3, 1674. William Clarke 
 
 "In ans'' to the motion here presented it is ordered that the Com- 
 mittee aboue named lay out fiuety acres of the better sort of the 
 nine hundred & thirty acres, aboue exprest, in a convenient place 
 for the countrys farme, adding two hundred acres more thereto, out 
 of the remote lands as they shall see best for the country, who are 
 also impowered to lease out the same for years to the inhabitants, 
 
8 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 at such rates as they can, so as the country may have some ack- 
 nowledgement annually for the sayd farme". 
 
 And at the October session of the same year, 1674, it was 
 ordered ; — 
 
 "In ans'' to the peticon of the Inhahiiants oi Swampfield the Court 
 Judgethe it meet to order Capt Elizur Holyoke Left. W"\ Clarke & 
 Lef*. VV"\ Allice to be a comittee who are hereby desired to repaire 
 to the places & to view, the same, what either doe desire, & make 
 report to the (^ourt what may be meet to be granted; provided also 
 that a farme of two hundred and fiuety acres of the best be reserved 
 and layd out for the country when the grant shall be". 
 
 There is no further reference to the plantation in the rec- 
 ords of the General Court, but in a written statement of losses 
 in the County of Hampshire in the Indian War, it is said " of 
 ten towns in Hampshire five are wholly dissipated." This 
 statement must of necessity include Swampfield. In another 
 statement made in 1685 it is said, that there was an old ditch 
 for a fence four miles long on the outside of the swamp, and 
 that above one hundred acres of plow land had formerly 
 been broken up". In 1690 Maj. Pynchon reports that Had- 
 ley scouts espied an Indian and discovered the tracks of 
 others " about Swampfield Mill". In the agreement signed 
 by the proprietors under the subsequent grant of 17 13, dated 
 April 13, 1 7 14, and hereafter cited in full, they agree that 
 
 the house lots should be laid from " near a' above the 
 
 place where the cJiimneys are". 
 
 These details ineagre as they are, seem conclusively to 
 show that during the year 1674 and the early part of 1675 
 considerable progress had been made in the new settlement; 
 that the lands had been measured, and to some extent allotted ; 
 buildings had been erected and inhabited, stibstantially on the 
 site of the present village, and labor had been expended in 
 reclaiminof the land and fitting it for cultivation. x\t the be- 
 ginning of hostilities their contiguity to Hadley oft'ered to 
 the few inhabitants a near and comparatively safe retreat in 
 their old home and among their kindred ; there was here no 
 actual conflict, none of the horrors of Indian warfare — and 
 there were no striking local incidents, as at Deerfield and 
 
 'Illegible in the original. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 9 
 
 Northfield to keep alive the memory of the settlement and 
 its failure.' 
 
 It would be interesting to know who were the original 
 proprietors and the first settlers of the town, but tradition is 
 silent, and there is no record save the names of the grantees 
 in the Indian deeds, who represented the body of the pro- 
 prietors. Of these Robert Boltwood, the ancestor of the 
 numerous families of the name in New England, was of 
 Hartford in 1648, removed thence to Hadley in 1659 and 
 died there January 26, 1683. Lieut. Jos. Kellogg was at 
 Farmington in 165 1, removed to Boston about 1659 and to 
 Hadley in 1662, was a prominent citizen; died in 1707 or 
 1708 aged about 80. 
 
 Thomas Dickinson, son of Nathaniel Dickinson the 
 elder, removed from Wethersfield to Hadley, among the first 
 settlers in 1659; returned to Wethersfield in 1679 and died 
 there in 1716. John Hubbard will be noticed hereafter. 
 
 The *■' River Indians " in 1675 were all of one race or tribe, 
 apparently, but were called by different names, according to 
 the places where they had their principal seats or forts. 
 These were the " Agawams " at Springfield (west of the 
 river) ; the " Waranokes"" at Westfield ; the " Nonotucks " or 
 " Norwottucks " at Northampton, Hadley and Hatfield, hav- 
 ing in 1675 their " fort " near the river between Northamp- 
 ton and Hatfield, and the '• Pocumtucks " at Deerfield. The 
 " Quaboags " at Brookfield were also in Hampshire. Wada- 
 nummin «& Sunkkamachue who are grantors in one of the 
 deeds before referred to, were chiefs of the Norwottucks and 
 were engaged in the war, as were all the tribes on the River. 
 They disappeared from this region at the close of the war. 
 There is a tradition that there were some wigwams on the 
 "island" east of the main street in Sunderland, but it is 
 doubtful whether they made this a place of residence. 
 
 The Indian War of 1675 is commonly known as " King 
 Philip's War". It commenced by an attack on Swanzey, 
 now in the county of Bristol, on the 24th June, followed 
 by an attack on Mendon on the 14th July. Brookfield was 
 assaulted and partly destroyed on the 2nd and 3rd of August 
 
 'The petitions of 1674 & 1713 would probably give us some details, but two 
 applications for copies at the Secretary's office in Boston at intervals of some 
 years have been unsuccessful and they are probably lost irretrievably. 
 
10 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 and soon after abandoned. There was a " battle " on the 25th 
 August a little south of "Sugar Loaf" in which ten whites 
 and an unknown number of Indians were slain, and in the 
 course of the autumn occurred the great fight at Bloody- 
 Brook. Deerfield and Northfield after much suffering were 
 abandoned and destroyed, and Hadley and Hatfield became 
 the frontier towns. The war continued through the years 
 1676 and 1677, during which two hundred and twenty-five 
 persons were slain in the County of Hampshire, of whom 
 eighty or more were inhabitants of the county ; over one hun- 
 dred dwelling houses were burned and a large amount of 
 other property destroyed. 
 
 Deerfield was resettled in 1682 or 1683, and Northfield in 
 1685, but there had apparently been no attempt to settle at 
 Sunderland when the second Indian war growing out of the 
 war between France and England, and commonly called 
 " King William's War" began in 1688 and continued for ten 
 years. This was less severe in Hampshire County than the 
 previous war, but some thirty of the inhabitants of the coun- 
 ty were slain. Northfield was again abandoned, but Deer- 
 field was preserved, a garrison being maintained there until 
 the close of the war. 
 
 The third Indian War known as "Queen Ann's War" 
 commenced in 1703 and closed in 171 3. It was during this 
 war. February 29th, 1704, that the memorable assault and de- 
 struction of Deerfield took place, when one hundred and sixty- 
 two persons were killed or taken captive. Many others were 
 killed or taken captive during the war, at Brookfield, Spring- 
 field, Northampton and Hatfield. 
 
 Forty years had now elapsed since the original grant of a 
 plantation at Swampfield. The original proprietors and first 
 settlers were dead, or too far advanced in years to undertake 
 the labors and undergo the privations incident to a new set- 
 tlement. But the desire and the necessity for enlarged ac- 
 commodations remained among their descendants at Hadley 
 and Hatfield, and in 171 3 their application to the General 
 Court resulted in the following enactment. It is copied from 
 the Sunderland Records, being the first entry in the record. 
 It was probably transcribed from an official copy, but may 
 not be perfectly correct :

 It will be observed that this is not a iiczv grant but an 
 affirmation of existing rights, in which the proprietors or 
 their descendants are to be protected in the re-settlement of 
 the town, with provision for a method by which such rights 
 might be asserted and determined. Of the " Committee " 
 appointed by the General Court, Saml. Partridge was then of 
 Hatfield, Colonel and Judge of Probate, a wealthy and influ- 
 ential man. He died December 25, 1740, aged ninety-five. 
 
12 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 John Pynchon was of Springfield and son of Major John 
 Pynchon, one of the first Committee, who died in 1703. Sam- 
 uel Porter was of Hadley, an extensive trader, Judge and 
 Sheriff, and died July 29, 1722, leaving ten thousand pounds, 
 an immense estate for those times. John Kellogg, one of 
 the petitioners, was of Hadley and son of Lt. Joseph Kellogg, 
 one of the grantees in the Indian deeds. 
 
 The first reeorded aetion taken by the Proprietors was an 
 agreement for the management and division of lands in the 
 plantation, reeorded in the Town Reeords as follows : 
 
 " Articles agreed to by all those that are Ingaged to settle a plan- 
 tation or Township 9 miles above Hadley (called) Swampfield which 
 are as followeth, i3'Ap'.i7i4: 
 
 Imps. That all the Just Charges in purchasing Settling Dividing

 vested in. 
 
 2. Item. That for the first five years for all charges arising it is 
 agreed that such Charges shall be Rated according to y^' Number of 
 Acres each Inhabitant hath as also Heads Stocks & other Ratable 
 Estate according to Law. 
 
 3. That after y"^ several necessary Divisions of y' Land in s''

 'The words in brackets are supplied. Thie record is much worn and in 
 places illegible. 
 
 'The old Ditch here recognized is the one before referred to, and was 
 constructed by the settlers of 1674. 
 
 ^There is a tradition that when the settlers came in 1714 to resettle the town, 
 they found some of the chimneys which were built in 1674 or 1675 then 
 standing and with trees growing up through the houses.

 The site .selected for their village by the settlers of 1674. 
 and their successors in 17 14. is not exceeded in natural beauty 
 by that of any other town in the Valley of the Connecticut. 
 At the north end of the Village street, Mount Toby, loftier 
 than any other eminence between it and the Sound, sends 
 out its spurs and lower elevations almost to the river, and the 
 picttiresque Sugar Loaf rises opposite, and close upon ^he 
 river's brink. As you pass down the street the eastern hills 
 recede, and the landscape opens into a broad meadow of rich 
 lands, which doubtless constituted the chief charm of the 
 location in the eyes of its first proprietors. The valtte of 
 the land was, however, greatly redticed by the fact that a por- 
 tion of the territory, commencing near the north end of the 
 village, and running down through what became the " East 
 Home Lots " and on to Hadley line, was of a swampy charac- 
 ter. This gave a name to the settlement and much trouble 
 
 'The Indian name of this mountain was "Wequomps". Its signification is 
 unknown, and it is perhaps not more euphonious than the present name. 
 There is not much choice between them.

 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 to the settlers, and it was to drain this swamp that the long 
 ditch was dug in 1674-5. The Village street was not entire- 
 ly free from swampy places, and this caused the proprietors 
 to make some change in their original plans, near the centre 
 and at the south end of the village. 
 
 The agreement which is set out above is recorded in the 
 handwriting of Dr. Thomas Hastings, who was appointed 
 and sworn Apl. 14, 1714, "to enter all Records of Lands & 
 other Records he is Requirable to do & performe." A certifi- 
 cate of his appointment and qualification is entered on the 
 record in the handwriting of Col. Partridge. The records 
 were kept in his handwriting (Dr. Hastings') to August, 171 7. 
 
 There is some confusion of dates in the early records, and 
 the action of the proprietors at their meetings is entered 
 with some irregularity. The meetings in 17 14 were appar- 
 ently held in Hadley or Hatfield. The first meeting express- 
 ly stated to be in Swampfield is November 12, 17 16. 
 
 The " Home Lotts" were " drawn" by and allotted to the 
 thirty-nine signers of the agreement, and one lot was drawn 
 for the Minister, making the requisite number of forty lots 
 in all. They were drawn, probably, on the 13th April, 1714, 
 the day of the date of the agreement, and in the following 
 order, commencing at the north :

 mer of 1 7 14 laid out the Street, the Home Lots and five other di- 
 visions of Land to the forty proprietors above named. 
 
 Messrs. Partridge and Porter of the Committee met again 
 on the 24th of April, and ordained the following rules, or as 
 they styled them " Articles of Agreement ", for the Govern- 
 ment of the Proprietors : 
 
 1. That the west home lots should run to the River and the 
 east lots should be forty rods long if there should be so much up- 
 land between the street and the swamp and any excess or deficiency 
 should be allowed or accounted for in the subsequent division of 
 plow land. 
 
 2. That each should have an equal share in the "swamp." 
 
 3. That each proprietor pay down sixteen shillings by the 15th. 
 of May "to clere the Indian purchase" & other charges. 
 
 4. That Highways be laid Eastward to the commons from the 
 middle «& South end of the Town Street, and from the middle of the 
 Street to the River four rods wide. 
 
 5. That the proprietors make as many divisions of their land 
 as they shall choose. 
 
 6. That the measurers lay out such "Private Highways" as 
 they should deem best and "divide the common fence about the 
 Meadows or Commons Field & Swamp." 
 
 7. That if any Proprietor should fail to Inhabit according to 
 the articles signed by him he should forfeit his right and all he had 
 expended. 
 
16 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 The Proprietors met at Hatfield on April 29th and very 
 sensibly voted that the Rule established by the Committee 
 respecting the East Home Lotts was by them '* Esteemed 
 gr'ly to Indamage & marr s'' East Home Lotts " and that 
 said Lots should " run thro y swamp to y® Edge of the Hill 
 East " and any excess of quantity, either in the East or West 
 Lots should be accounted for in the first division of the plow 
 lands, or in the swamp in the meadow, according to its qual- 
 ity, to which the Committee assented. The result of thevSe 
 provisions was to fix the size of the lots primarily at three 
 and one half acres, but there was in fact, as laid out, an ex- 
 cess of quantity in all the Lots except five. 
 
 The Proprietors also voted at the same meeting to make 
 three divisions of plowing land, the first to be next the Home 
 Lots' south and to run from the river " to an highway by 
 flagg Swamp " ; the second and third divisions to run from 
 the river, " through the swamp to the Meadow fence East". 
 They also provided for enclosing the whole of the three di- 
 visions by a common fence, which was ultimately made to 
 include also the two divisions of swamp or mowing lands. 
 This fence was necessary to protect their crops, as their cattle 
 were necessarily de-pastured upon the common undivided 
 and unenclosed lands. 
 
 The Home Lots, and the three divisions of plowing land, 
 still known as first, second, and third division, were laid out, 
 to each proprietor his share, in the month of May 17 14, and 
 were followed by a like allotment and division, in two tracts 
 of the territory now familiarly known as Flagg Swamp and 
 Great Swamp. The term " Flag Swamp " is here used for 
 the first time, while the other division is called " East 
 Swamp." The last two divisions were laid out August 27th, 
 1714, but no record is found of the order under which the 
 work was done. About the same time the Meadow Fence 
 was allotted to each proprietor his share and required to be 
 built by the last day of October then next. Highways were 
 also laid out through the lands divided which exist, most 
 of them without material alteration to the present day. 
 
 'A strip of land five rods wide next to West Lot, No. 20, was reserveil and 
 not included in the first division.

 The quantity of land allotted to each proprietor by these 
 divisions was as follows :

 Total 39 o 20 
 
 and making the entire quantity of land divided 1 565 acres. 
 
 On the 14th September, 17 14, the measurers made report 
 of their doings to the committee and the Proprietors at a 
 meeting held at Hadley, and presented a rough draft of the 
 lands divided and the highways laid out. A fac-simile of 
 this plan is presented on the following page. It is probably 
 the oldest paper now in existence relating to the settlement 
 of the town. It was approved by the committee with some 
 slight alteration in the highways, which in the meadow and 
 swamp divisions are only one and one half rods wide. The 
 town street was laid "eight rods wide, till it come towards 
 the Lower End then to hold something wider by reason of a 
 Swamp that lies in the street." The Highways now known 
 as Bridge Lane, Middle Lane and Lower Lane are four rods 
 wide. 
 
 The Proprietors were at this time, and afterwards, troubled 
 by trespassers who cut timber, and collected turpentine and 
 tar within their limits. The boundaries of the plantation 
 were not defined, and the trespasses were perhaps, in part, 
 involuntary. At a meeting held on March 9th, 171 5, the 
 proprietors, alleging that they had authority so to do, be- 
 sought the committee to lay out the Township in length, in 
 accordance with their deed from the Natives. To this the 
 committee appear to have assented, and accordingly measur- 
 ers were appointed, who on the nth of the same month ran 
 the North line of the plantation, and reported as follows : 
 
 " We began the Line at the mouth of the brook called Papacon- 
 tuckquash & Run a due East Line. Splashing the Trees in the Line, 
 every tree * * * * -f thereabouts on the East and West side of s^

 The southern botindary being at the mouth of Mohawk 
 Brook, their grant of a track six miles square was thus coin- 
 prehended in a tract nine miles in length and four in breadth. 
 
 There were probably no actual settlers in the town dur- 
 ing the year 17 14, but with the year 171 5 they came in con- 
 siderable numbers, so that at a meeting held November 8, 
 1715, it was voted that they " will be at the cost of having a 
 minister this winter, to dispense the word to those that are 
 Removed Thither if one can conveniently be procured on 
 Reasonable Terms & Lieut. Thomas Hovey, Samuel Gunn 
 & Ebenezer Billing were appointed ' to seek after and pro- 
 cure a Minister. ' " They did not apparently succeed and at 
 the March meeting of 1716 the Committee was " revived " 
 and directed " still to endeavor to procure a Minister." 
 
 During the year 17 16, apparently the larger part of thirty- 
 nine proprietors had taken up their residence in Swampfield, 
 and at a meeting held November 12th, 17 16, it was " Voted 
 that Goodman xVrms & Serg' Isaac Hubbard do take a Jour- 
 ney to y'' President of y' College in Cambridge, with Letters 
 to him to advise where & whome they may obtain to be a 
 Minisf in Swampfield, att List for this winter half year & o""

 there. Then to come home by the way of Norwich, to M'.

 possible to bring him up w"' them."

 git Navies & Glass & all other Necessaries for s'' Building till it be 
 fully finished." 
 
 On the 1 2th of March, 171 7, the " Proprietors of Swamp- 
 field apparently considering the terms upon which they held 
 their grant substantially complied with, held a meeting and 
 elected the usual town officers, with the exception of Clerk 
 and Treasurer, and voted to reserve a Home Lot 14 rods wide 
 next north of Samuel Graves Home Lot for a Blacksmith, 
 and to give him an equal share in all their undivided lands ; 
 an offer which was carried out the following year by a specific 
 grant to Samuel Billings, the first Blacksmith in town." It 
 was also voted to reserve all the land north of Home Lots 
 then laid as far as " the small brook next adjacent " " for the 
 accommodating the posterity of the present Proprietors with 
 Home Lots". 
 
 Also to lay out the " Little Meadow " in equal proportions 
 "in Quantity and Quality" to the Proprietors " including a 
 Town Lott" and a " Smith's Lott " and Samuel Graves, Sam- 
 uel Gunn, Luke Smith, Isaac Hubbard and Thomas Hastings 
 were appointed a Committee to lay out the same. The land 
 was subsequently laid out into lots 42 in number. 
 
 The Road originally laid out to the River on the south side 
 of the Minister Lot, because the front of the Lot '* being Low 
 is very inconvenient for building " was changed with the 
 consent of Benjamin Barrett to its present place. 
 
 At the same meeting it was voted to build a House for the 
 Minister t Ids summer '" xn. Length 41 foots. Width 21 foot & 
 15 foot between Joynts. To Raise & cover it before Winter 
 to secure it from the weather and appoint a committee to carry

 The "Committee " would not yield their jurisdiction but 
 subsequently ratified the doings of this meeting, on condi- 
 tion " that the pretended Selectmen ast nothing of the pru- 
 dentialls of s'' Place Repugnant to y^ Stated Com""" & with- 
 out or against their minds & consent therein." 
 
 "At a meeting of the Inhabitants of Swampfield junt; 13, 1717, 
 It was agreed & Voted that all the Proprietors of Swampfield shall 
 appear Karly in the morning the next 'J'uesday, to assist in raising 
 the Meeting house or else each man that absents himself to pay the 
 sum of four shillings p' day". 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 21 
 
 If the work was carried out as contemplated by this vote 
 the first meeting house in vSunderland was raised on the i8th 
 of June, 1717 (Old style), equivalent to June 29th, N. S. 
 
 The records from this point are for several pages in the 
 handwriting of Nathaniel Gunn, son of Samuel Gunn, the 
 second Town Clerk, but were subsequently approved by the 
 committee and certified in due form by the Clerk. 
 
 At a meeting held on August 22nd, 17 17, proposals were 
 made for the settlement of "Rev. M"". Willard" which seem 
 to have been accepted by him, and at another meeting held on 
 December i6, 1717, provision is made for the entertainment of 
 the "Elders & Messengers that we shall call to assist in the 
 ordaining of the Rev. Mr. Willard." His ordination probably 
 took place during the month of December of that year. 
 
 " At a Legal Meeting of the Proprietors of Swampfield 
 March 17, 171 7-18 " Town Officers were again chosen and as 
 the time of the Emancipation of the town was near at hand 
 the Committee do not seem to have objected to the exercise 
 of this authority. The officers chosen may therefore be con- 
 sidered the first regular town officers and were :

 itants claiming to have fulfilled the conditions of their grant, 
 presented their petition through their committee as follows, 
 though final action thereon seems to have been delayed until 
 the Autumn session.

 We have thus followed the history of the town of Sunder- 
 land from its beginnings to its full settlement, and to its in- 
 corporation, the facts being drawn almost entirely from its 
 own records. 
 
 But the early Proprietors (under the second grant) whose 
 names and location are given on page 14 did not all of them 
 become sctt/vrs and inhabitants of the town. During the 
 progress of the settlement there were several changes which 
 should now be noticed. These changes, referring to the plan 
 on page 26, are as follows : 
 
 "West Side." 
 
 No. 3. Eliezer Warner resigned to his son, Eleazer Warner, Jr. 
 March 27, 17 16. 
 
 No. 6. Philip Panton had made some progress in the improvement 
 of his land, and in March, 1715 was chosen Fence Viewer of the 
 town, but during that year he was "killed by the fall of a tree " (if 
 in Sunderland it was the first known death in the town) and his heirs 
 sold to " Serg^ Joseph Field for j£,20. Panton was the son of Alex- 
 ander and Mary (Moody) Panton of Hadley, born April 16, 1689, 
 married March 27, 17 12, Elizabeth, daughter of Jn'*. Ingram and 
 left no children. 
 
 No. 7. Ezekiel Loomis who was probably from Hadley, although 
 the family at this day were mostly at Windsor, resigned his right to 
 William Scott Jr. 
 
 No. II. Elihu Dickinson was of Wethersfield, son of Thomas 
 Dickinson one of the grantees in the Indian Deeds, who was then of 
 Hadley but afterwards removed to Wethersfield and he probably 
 came in under his father's right. He continued to reside in Weth- 
 ersfield where he died. He resigned his right to Nathaniel Cole- 
 man, January 14, 1715. 
 
 Nathaniel Coleman was of Hatfield where he died April 7th, 1755, 
 aged 70. He sold out to Joseph Root, by an agreement recognized 
 by the Committee February 13, 1717. 
 
 No. 14. Peter Montague, the only one of the proprietors digni- 
 fied by the title of " Mr.", was the son of Richard Montague of Had- 
 ley, vide Montague Genealogy. He resigned his right to his nephew, 
 Samuel Montague, January 14, 17 15. 
 
24 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 No. 15. Samuel Boltwood was of Hadley, removed to Amherst 
 about 1 731, where he died in 1738, aged 59. He relinquished his 
 right to Daniel Warner Sen^ of Hatfield in 1714. Daniel Warner 
 resigned to his son Daniel Warner, March 27, 17 16. 
 
 No. 17. L', Thomas Hovey's right was takenby his son, Thomas 
 (No. 18 East Side) and the father never came to Sunderland. 
 
 East Side. 
 
 No. I. Nathaniel Kellogg was of Hadley and son of Joseph, one 
 of the Indian grantees. He removed to Amherst in 1739, where he 
 died in 1750 aged 80. His right was transferred to his son Ebene- 
 zer, who was then occupying it March 28, 1718. 
 
 No. 2. Stephen Belding Sen^ was of Hatfield, where he died, 
 October 6, 1720, aged 62. He resigned his right to his son, Samuel, 
 September 14, 1714. Samuel Belding transferred his right to his 
 brother Jonathan, March 27, 17 16. Jonathan Belding sold to 
 Stephen Crowfoot, February 13, 1717. .Apparently neither of the 
 Beldens ever became inhabitants of Sunderland. 
 
 No. 7. John Preston, son of John Preston, was born at Hadley, 
 July 31, 1686. He removed to South Hadley and there died, March 
 2, 1728. He resigned his right to Nathaniel Dickinson in 1714. 
 
 No. 8. John Montague Sen'., resigned in favor of his son, Wil- 
 liam, January 14, 1715. William Montague transferred the same 
 right to Nathaniel Gunn, March 30th, 17 17. 
 
 10. Samuel Warner was brother of Daniel Warner Sen\ (No. 15 
 West Side), and was of Hatfield, where he continued to reside. He 
 transferred his right to Nathaniel Smith of Hatfield, January 14, 
 1 7 15. Whether Nathaniel Smith ever settled in Sunderland is un- 
 certain, but he must have been the person who was chosen Select- 
 man, March 17, 17 18, as at this time his son Nathaniel, who was 
 the real permanent settler, was but a little over twenty years of age. 
 He probably did live in Sunderland a short time, and then returned 
 to Hatfield, but the town record does not show the transfer of his 
 estate to his son. 
 
 No. 12. Joseph Field having purchased right No. 6, West side, 
 transferred one of the two rights to his son, Joseph, and apparent- 
 ly it was No. 12, but it is not quite clear. 
 
 No. 16. Dr. Thomas Hastings, Proprietors Clerk to 1717, was 
 son of Thomas and Anna (Hawks) Hastings and born at Hatfield, 
 Sept. 24, 1679. His father was also a physician. He sold out to 
 
HISTORY OK SUNDERLAND. 25 
 
 Ebenezer Billing Jr. .August 26th, 17 17, and never came to Sunder- 
 land to reside. He died at Hatfield, April 14''', 1728. 
 
 No. 18. Thomas Hovey Jr. took his father's allottment (No. 17 
 West) and this right (No. 18) was transferred to Daniel Russell, Jan- 
 uary 19, 17 16. 
 
 No. 19. Samuel Hawley was of Hatfield and son of Joseph Haw- 
 ley of Northampton, where he was born February 23, 1686. He 
 afterwards removed to Amherst. He transferred his right to James 
 Bridgeman, January 14, 1715. 
 
 The proprietor.s had voted in 17 17 to reserve all the land 
 north of the original forty lots for Home Lots for the de- 
 scendants of the original settlers, and these lots were so 
 granted from time to time, except one lot to Samuel Billing, 
 the blacksmith, and one to Samuel Taylor, the shoemaker. 
 The plan of the Home Lots sets out the original forty lots, and 
 also the Home Lots originally granted ; the north line of the 
 original allotments being indicated by the numbers attached. 
 The original South line of the Home Lots was the North 
 line of the " Reserved Land " now used for the road leading to 
 the cemetery on the west side and the north line of " Lower 
 Lane" on the East side. The " ^Middle Lane" shows the 
 northern and sotithern boundaries of Lots 11 and 10, east side, 
 and " Bridge Lane " the southern and northern boundaries of 
 Lots 9 and lo west .side, and hence, althottgh the original lines 
 are very generally changed by grant and sub-division, it 
 would be easy by measurement to define the original bound- 
 aries. 
 
 It is probable, though not absolutely certain, that all the 
 forty lots were built upon at an early period. 
 
 It should also be stated that Stephen Belden, Jr., Home 
 Lot 20, E. side, left town at a very early period. His perma- 
 nent successor was Jo^ Dickinson, who is in the Tax list of 
 January 19, 1720. But neither Belden nor Dickinson is in the 
 list of allotments of land at Little Meadow, entered April 
 5th, 1718, but in their stead is the name of " John Cooley", 
 who appears no more. Perhaps Belden sold to Cooley, and 
 he to Dickinson. 
 
 The history of the town subsequent to the time of its in- 
 corporation naturally divides itself into three periods. First

 from 1 71 8 to the incorporation of Montague in 1753 ; the 
 second from 1753 to the incorporation of Leverett in 1774; 
 the third period extends to the present time. The few facts 
 in this history which it is proposed to record will be set down 
 by subjects, rather than in exact chronological order. 
 
FIRST PERIOD— FROM 1716 TO 1853. 
 Boundaries and Divisions of Lands. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 The original boundaries of the town have been stated as 
 running from Mohawk Brook on the south to the brook Papa- 
 contuckquash over against the mouth of Deerfield river 
 on the north, the limits fixed by the Indian Deed, but from 
 some expressions in the record, it would seem that when they 
 laid out their grant from the General Court, the nine miles 
 in length was exhausted before reaching the northern 
 boundary of the purchase. The bounds extended four miles 
 eastward from the river, and a subsequent grant in 1729 
 added a strip two miles wide the entire length of the town on 
 the east side, making a territory nine miles by six, or fifty- 
 four square miles. It embraced the whole of the present 
 towns of Sunderland and Leverett, the larger part of Monta- 
 gue and a portion of the town of Wendell. 
 
 There was a difficult}' with the town of Hadley in the early 
 days of the settlement; the two towns could not agree in the 
 perambulation of the line. The controversy is frequently re- 
 ferred to in the early records. In 1739 ^Y ^ ^^^^ ^^^^ more 
 accurate survey of Hadley township it was determined that 
 Mohawk brook was south of the true division line, and that 
 Sunderland had included within its limits 457 acres of land 
 which belonged to Hadley. Hadley petitioned to have the 
 true line restored, but the Legislature confirmed the old line, 
 and gave to Hadley the like quantity of land near Turners 
 Falls. 
 
 The first division of land made after the incorporation of 
 the town was by vote of March 12, 17 19, to lay out two divis- 
 ions of land at " Hunting Hills", the territory now included 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 29 
 
 in the town of Montague. The land divided lay along the 
 river ; the first division contained three and a half acres, the 
 second ten acres. Forty-three lots were set out in each di- 
 vision to the proprietors of the forty original home lots, Jo- 
 seph Dickinson taking the place of Stephen Belden, Jr., to 
 " the town," Samuel Billing the smith and Samuel Taylor. 
 
 June 30, 1 7 19, "Voted to layout a General Field at the 
 place called the Hop Yard as equally as may be to all the 
 first rights and to those which the town has made equal with 
 them," and the boundaries of this tract were thus defined, 
 August 17, 1721 : 
 
 " The northerly bounds to be at the uper end of the square 
 plain ; the west bounds to be at the foot of Russell's Hill ; 
 the south bounds to be on the south side of the Valley or 
 hollow that runs acrosst the plane that meets with a cart way 
 that goweth across the staddle island ; the east bounds to run 
 along the plane as the generality of the Fish Pond Rocks 
 run." This field seems to have been in that part of Leverett 
 known as Long Plain. In 1737 it was determined that this 
 tract be " thrown up to the town " but no definite action ap- 
 parently was taken under this, for in 1 739 the matter was again 
 agitated, and the action then taken was, that it " be seques- 
 tered for 99 years." Again the action of the town in meet- 
 ing does not appear to have been carried out in fact, for the 
 subject re-appears in 1744 when it was determined that it 
 should be divided " one half to heads & one half to estates." 
 This action was soon after carried into effect, many of the 
 proprietors having in the meantime disposed of their 
 ' rights." 
 
 March 7, 1720, pasture lots were ordered to be laid out 14 
 rods wide and 40 rods long; and they were laid on the east 
 side of the road which passes in the rear of the east home 
 lots, except Left. Billings and Ensign Clary's lots, which " lay 
 along under the hill against the rear of Ensign Clary's Isaac 
 Hubbards & Samuel Ounn's Home Lots." (Nos. 13, 14 and 
 15.) There were forty-two of these lots, Samuel Taylor be- 
 ing omitted. 
 
 March 21, 1720, "Voted that we will sequester a tract of 
 land East of the town to lie as common land, to wit ; begin- 
 ning at the upper end of little Meadow & so to run .southerly 
 down the North end of Hatchet brook swamp taking in the 
 
30 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Boggie Meadow also into the sequestered land laying adja- 
 cent to Hatchet Brook & also to begin at the East end of those 
 lots which are called paster and so to extend a mile Eastward 
 all which shall lay for commons till such time as the town 
 shall agree to dispose of it or part of it to some other use." 
 
 The southern boundary of this tract was in 1726 defined 
 thus: 
 
 "Said bounds shall come westwardly from the Green Swamp 
 that is on the hill called Kelloggs Hill down to the Meadow fence 
 running between the two Hills commonly called the Ridge Hills." 
 
 At the same meeting, March 21, 1720, provision was made 
 for laying out 840 acres of land to the 42 persons to whom 
 pasture lots were granted, giving them 20 acres each, and 
 also five acres each to " Samuel Gunn Jr., Noah Graves, Jona- 
 than Field, Samuel Taylor, Samuel Graves Jr., William Scott 
 Jr., John Billing, Daniel Hubbard, Nathaniel Smith, Abel 
 Gunn, Thomas Keet & Fellows Billing." The twenty 
 acres granted to each proprietor were laid out in two divisions 
 of ten acres each ; while the allotment of five acres was in 
 most instances so made that the land should adjoin that of 
 the respective fathers of those to whom it was granted, all of 
 whom, except Taylor and Keet, were sons of original pro- 
 prietors. 
 
 March 7, 1726, a home lot of four acres was granted to Sam- 
 uel Taylor at Hunting Hills on the west side of the North- 
 field road, and north side of the highway which leads to 
 Hunting Hill meadow. The location of this lot was twice 
 changed, and in 1729 it was fixed at six acres "at the north 
 end of Hunting Hills right to Montague's fence." 
 
 Nov. 29, 1 72 1. Ten acres were laid out to Mr. Willard in 
 the sequestered mile. 
 
 March 5, 1722. John Marsh is allowed to take up ten acres 
 in the commons after the 840 acres is laid out, to become his 
 if he inhabits in the town four years. 
 
 April 27, 1727. Samuel Harvey and Richard Scott had each 
 a grant of a home lot 20 rods by 30 at Hunting Hills on the 
 we.st side of the Northfield road. 
 
 February 9, 1730. "Voted to layout 4000 acres of land, 
 viz: twenty acres in each original right, 20 acres to each head 
 enumerated and one acre for each pound of estate. This

 other lands divided when the specific territory was not ap- 
 propriated was taken up by each proprietor taking his allotted 
 portion wherein he chose in any common and undivided land 
 except the Hop Yard & the Sequestered Mile.'' 
 
 In this division 57 lots were drawn by Samuel Scott, Jona- 
 than Scott, Ebenezer Belding, Jr., Joseph Field, Jr., Simon 
 Cooley, Samuel Smith, Widow Hovey, Widow Barrett, Dr. 
 Joseph Lord, Eleazer Warner, Samuel Billing (smith), Wm.

 At this time Thos. Ilovey, Benj. Barrett, Jos. Root 
 James Bridgman and Nathaniel Dickinson were dead, and 
 their widows or heirs appear in the above list. The remain- 
 der of the list is composed of the original settlers and their 
 sons, except Mr. Rand, the second minister; Dr. Lord, then 
 newly settled in the town, and Thos. Keet and John Marsh 
 who had resided there for some years. 
 
 The grant of 1729 has been before referred to. The rec- 
 ord of the grant is as follows : 
 
 "Tu His Excellency Wm. Burnett Esq. Captain General and

 the woods the whole length aforesaid the Reasons of our Humble 
 Teticon are 
 
 1. Our land throughout our Precints are chiefly mountainous and 
 unfit for improvement otherwise then for feeding of cattle and most 
 of the Little land which we do or can manure is poor & infertile. 
 
 2. The land which we peticon for was originally purchased of 
 the natives with that which we now possess. 
 
 3. Granting said lands to us can never be a detriment to any 
 other settlement but y'' said land is commodious for us; some inter- 
 vals of which might be improved which might be a means to increase 
 the number of our Inhabitants, which otherwise must continue to be 
 very small, which reasons with our peticon we humbly submit to

 In 1730 a highway four rod.s wide was laid through the 
 whole lenofth of thi.s tract. Mr. Rand, the minister, received 
 200 acres for his aid in proctiring the grant, and the remain- 
 der was laid out, one-half to males above sixteen years of 
 age, and one-half on estates. Sixty-three lots were laid out 
 to the parties named on page 30 with the addition of 
 Josiah Alvord, Zadock Sanborn and John Graves, then re- 
 cently .settled in the town, and two or three others, sons of 
 original settlers. 
 
34 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 In 1738 a further division was made of twenty acres to each 
 original right, twenty acres to each head and one acre to 
 each pound of estate. The list taken for the purpose of this 
 division omits the names of " Daniel Warner, removed from 
 the town. Widow Root, dec''., Widow Barrett, Sam'. Graves 
 sen', dec''.. Capt. Jos. Field, dec'', Dan'. Russell, dec''. Widow

 Jeduthan Sawyer, Jno. Scott & Sam'. Downer, Abner Cooley. 
 Israel Richardson, M''. Benj. Dickinson, Judah Wright, Jo- 
 seph Mitchell," and contained seventy-seven names. 
 
 October i, 1739. " Voted to lay out all the undivided lands 
 north of Sawmill Riverto the North end of the Town bounds 
 commonly called Miller's Plain." This tract was laid out be- 
 tween 1739 and 1745 substantially to the parties named above 
 with the addition of Joshua Douglas, Nathaniel Cowdry, 
 Nathan Tuttle, Charles Chauney and Ebenezer Graves, 80 
 lots in all. 
 
 In 1731 Josiah Alvord had a grant of 35 acres on condition 
 that he continue an inhabitant for five years. 
 
 In 1737 vSamuel jSIitchell had a grant of ten acres at Long 
 Plain if he should continue four years. 
 
 In 1749 the vSequestered Mile was laid out in two divisions, 
 one containing 94 lots, and the other 92 lots. 
 
 There were various other small grants, and some sales of 
 land and after the separation of Montague at a joint meeting 
 held April 7, 1760, the inhabitants of the two towns released 
 each to the other all claim to the undivided lands within 
 their respective limits. 
 
 We have omitted to state all the grants of Home Lots in 
 the " Town Street," in addition to the forty lots originally 
 granted. 
 
 They were on the west side above No. i, or Samuel Graves' 
 lot, granted in the following order proceeding north. Sam- 
 uel Billing, the smith, Noah Graves, Samuel Taylor (shoe- 
 maker), Daniel Hubbard and John Billing. These lots were 
 each fourteen rods wide and extended to the river. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 35 
 
 The lots on the east side proceeding' north were granted 
 to Samuel Giinn, Jr., Jonathan Field, William vScott, Jr., 
 Nathaniel Smith (son of Daniel), and John Graves. These 
 lots were each fourteen rods wide and fifty rods long-, except 
 that of John Graves' which was twenty rods wide and " to 
 run East to the road that lies at the foot of the pasture lots." 
 The lots on both sides of the street were all granted in 17 19, 
 or earlier, except John Graves', which was granted in 1730. 
 He did not comply with the conditions of the grant, and had 
 some trouble with the town about it. It was re-granted as 
 late as 1787 to Jabez Upham. It was not a very desirable 
 lot. Nathaniel Smith also failed to retain his lot, and it was 
 afterwards irranted to Samuel Scott.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 In order to understand the jurisdiction of certain commit- 
 tees whose names often are all the records show of their im- 
 portance or services, and who seem to have been invariably 
 selected from the families of the first settlers, it will be 
 necessary to recall something of the social state of the com- 
 munity — and something of the ideal for which our forefathers 
 strove. The names of the forty proprietors who drew the 
 lots and laid out Sunderland Street are a sufficient proof of 
 the predominating English element. They had grown up, 
 or their fathers had, under English customs and laws, and 
 their ideals and their efforts la}'- in similar direction. For 
 many generations the male population of the mother coun- 
 try had been gathered in Guilds or trades; by means of 
 which common citizens had first acquired an influence in the 
 land ; this condition was fostered by laws requiring every 
 Englishman to learn some kind of labor or trade, by which 
 he might live — and not even the heir to the throne was 
 exempt. Such organization in England was of service in 
 diffusing respect for skilled work and it increased personal 
 pride and exclusiveness. From these Guilds came the set- 
 tlers of our valley, bearing names without stain, and think- 
 ing of no new development of society but a reproduction of 
 their native land with all its insular prejudices and its innate 
 clannishness, and its sturdy honesty mixed with its aristocracy. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 37 
 
 Their ideals slowly changed — developed by many hardships 
 and intimate neighborly fellowship. They did not come 
 here to develop equality of citizenship — but that grew of 
 itself. Those interested in this line of study will fill out for 
 themselves the scanty records of committees, who held their 
 private meetings and handed their records to the absent 
 clerk of votes taxing forest land at the same rate as meadow 
 or " improved land," a decision tending to discourage the 
 holding of large tracts, and many other petty rulings. 
 
 The Proprietors' Ownership. 
 
 As has already been seen, the Plantation called " Swamp- 
 field " was conveyed by the Indian deeds to John Pynchon 
 in behalf of others named in the deeds, who were act- 
 iner as a committee for those who afterwards became the 
 " Proprietors " and " settlers " of the town, and who had con- 
 trol of all matters pertaining to the common interest. They 
 were the manasrers of all town alTairs, made the division of 
 lands to the several families, and arranged for the collection 
 of taxes or " rates " as then called. Their first clerk was 
 Tho\ Hastings of Hatfield. The following is a copy of the 
 record of the oath administered to him upon his induction 
 into office : 
 
 " M"" Thomas Hastings of Hatfield was chosen Town (^lerk to en- 
 ter all Records of lands and other Records he is Requireable to do 
 and performe & was Sworn to the Discharge of that servis before 
 me for Swampfield. 
 
 Samuel Partridge, Justice of the Peace." 
 
 " April 14, 1714." 
 
 There is no evidence that Tho' Hastings ever became a 
 resident of the town, and it may be reasonable to infer that 
 all or many of those who took part in the organization of the 
 town's affairs were still living in Hatfield or Hadley from 
 whence many of the first settlers removed. Some of these 
 individuals afterwards became residents of the town and 
 some did not. It is learned from the town records that not 
 all who drew lots became residents, but transferred their 
 claim to others.

 Proprietors' Records. 
 
 "Sam' Gun " who is conceded to have been the first resi- 
 dent Town Clerk, lived upon the same ground as does the 
 present Town Clerk and makes his first record as such as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 "Her Entered April 5, 1718 
 
 P"" me Sam' Gun Clerk " 
 
 The above appears to follow the record of the proceedings 
 of a meeting of the proprietors held " Amo 1717'' which 
 record is not in the handwriting of " Sam' Gun," and was 
 probably written by one of the committee. 
 
 It is noticeable that the record of other meetings of the 
 proprietors is not in the handwriting of " Sam' Gun " and 
 that the date of his certification to the correctness of the 
 record is not the same as the date of the meeting, conse- 
 quently a mixing of dates which is immaterial.

 " Voted by the Proprietors that no person shall Tether or hopple 
 any horse in the common field & leave him there in the night on the 
 penalty of five shillings for such Defects one half to the informer 
 the other half to the use of the town." "The above vots are ap- 
 proved and allowd l:)y the committee & here entered April 5, 17 18 
 ?' me 
 
 Saml Gun Clerk." 
 
 The above has been copied to show that all financial mat- 
 ters were managed by the " proprietors " or that the " Pro- 
 prietors" were the Sovereign head in all town matters. The 
 town which was in fact composed by these same proprietors 
 chose from their own body the town officers at this date, 
 made the grants of land to the various individuals, (acts 6i 
 the "proprietors," not of the town). 
 
 To show that they provided for the salary of the minister 
 the following is copied from the records : 
 
 "Dec. 19, 1718 ^'oted by the Proprietors of Sunderland that 
 they will raise for the Reverend Mr. Willard, Half years Rate and 
 Thirty pounds toward his House and What the town is indebted by 
 their Present Bills to pay that they will Raise According to the 
 .Article to wit that all Lands shall pay Alike Improved or not Im- 
 proved and Heads and Stocks according to Law." 
 
 " Voted at the same meeting that we will Raise five shilling upon 
 each Head in the present list that we are to make the Rats by " 
 "Voted at the same meeting that al the Rats hereafter shall be 
 Raised according to Law " 
 
 "Voted at the same meeting that we wil have a town meeting on 
 the first Munday in Decern yearly without any further Warning and 
 all those who dont attend it being qualfied according to Law shall 
 forfeit the sum of 2^6'' to the yous of the town" 
 
 To show what strict compliance was required of those who 
 held allotments in the town the following is transcribed 
 from among several such found in the records : 
 
 " Wheras by a former Concession of the Com'"'' for Swampfield, 
 Nath' Coleman was accepted in order to be an Inhabitant in s'' 
 place and now by the Providence of God his mother being weakly & 
 in her old age full of Infirmity also his Wife being Weakly so that 
 he is wholly Incapacitated to perform what he intended to Do — and

 which on the Consideration aforesaid We of the Com''''-' aforemen- 
 tioned do accept of s^' Joseph Root upon these Considerations fol- 
 lowing, viz: that he forthw''' Remove himself and family thither

 "Thos. Hastings, Clerk" 
 
 It is thus learned from the records that all votes passed. 
 All grants of land made previotis to the incorporation of the 
 town in 1 718 were by the authority of the "Proprietors." 
 After the incorporation the meetings held were called " town 
 meetings. " The first record of a " legal town meeting " was 
 dated March 16, 1719. 
 
 The Editors — Symposium. 
 
 And thus passed the nominal control of the communities ' 
 interest in the newly settled plantation. But the influence 
 of the "proprietors" was not limited to their generation. It 
 was that which prompted the vote excluding certain indi- 
 viduals from becoming inhabitants of the town, whose only 
 crime lay in the noncompliance with the antiquated law. It 
 was the importance of " Proprietors " families which estab- 
 lished the " dignity " of the " Pews " " in the meeting house " 
 long after they or their children lived to occupy them. 
 The English conventional honors were through these same 
 proprietors long maintained, and respected. The settlement 
 of the minister was after the English forms, varied to suit 
 the different circumstances. The Proprietors gave a title 
 deed iUvStead of free occupancy to the clergyman for his 
 home. They instituted a common pasturage and other com- 
 munal privileges which have now become obsolete. Little 
 by little their very rule has been forgotten, and to-day we 
 are prone to credit the town — a corporate nonentity with a

 development established only by personal social persistence 
 of a very few upright men. If there is any one word char- 
 acterizing this effort it may be that hoodoo of to-day, " The 
 Trust." 
 
SETTING OFF OF MONTAGUE AND 
 LEVERETT. 
 
 Setting off of Montague as a District, 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 In nearly all of the early town grants in the Province of 
 Massachusetts the boundaries were of generous proportions, 
 and miles were a frequent designation of distance. Occa- 
 sionally there are definite points of beginning or ending, but 
 more frequently the grant would start at the supposed out- 
 line of some prior grant or prominent stream and extend 
 thence a given number of miles. As actual settlers multi- 
 plied in the towns so granted there arose a demand for the 
 division of the large original grants by the erection of new 
 towns, taken either wholly from the territory of some earlier 
 town, or made up by taking portions from several at the 
 point where their confines joined. 
 
 Sunderland was no exception to this general rule. The 
 first step in the way of cutting down her territory came in 
 the formation of the town of Montague. 
 
 The Sunderland town records do not give very much in- 
 formation relating to the setting of off either Montague or 
 Leverett from the town of Sunderland, which were origin- 
 ally included in the Sunderland or Swampfield grants. 
 
 Under date of March 5, 1749-50, is the following record of 
 vote passed at " A Legal Town Meeting " held that day, viz : 
 
 " Voted, That we are willing that the Oeneral Court should set 
 off Hunting Hills a Precinct by themselves, they releasing what 
 money is due from the town to them and they allowing that there 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 43 
 
 shall be no tax Layd in their bounds belonging to men that live in 
 town and their bounds extend so far south as shall be 20 Rods north 
 of the Slate Stone Brook where it empties into the great river, and 
 to extend east to the end of the bound it must be understood that 
 the money they release is what they suppose due by an act of Court, 
 and it must be understood that the land that is not to be taxed is land 
 that belongs to men that live in the Town that lies unimproved." 
 
 " Voted, That we are willing that the General Court set off Hunt- 
 ing Hills people to be a precinct by themselves upon these condi- 
 tions, that their bounds extend south within 20 rods of the mouth 
 of the Brook called Slate Stone Brook, Running on east line to the 
 east side of the bounds of the Town of Sunderland, they making no 
 Demand of any money of the Town of Sunderland they suppose due 
 by an Act of Court", and they never to lay "any tax on any land 
 that belongs to the Town that is unimproved." 
 
 At previous meetings the town had voted money for the 
 support of schools and preaching at Hunting Hills, from 
 which it may be inferred that the town held some interest in 
 lands there, and on March, 1750-51, the town "Voted to sell 
 land at Hunting Hills to be improved either in Building a 
 meeting house or to settle a minister there." 
 
 The work of "setting off" progressed slowly and did not 
 finally take place till 1752 according to our records. The 
 act of incorporation of the north parish in the town of Sun- 
 derland into a separate district by the name of Montague as 
 found in the Mass. Province Laws Vol. 3, page 713 was passed 
 January 25, 1754. " In 1751 the town voted to instruct their 
 assessors to make the rates that were needful for the town 
 separate from Hunting Hills " and further " Voted, Willm. 
 Scott Jr. Jno. Gun & Simeon King & Zebediah AUis a Com- 
 tee to run the line between Sunderland First Precinct and 
 the Second Precinct in Sunderland and mark the bounds be- 
 ing an east line and make their rettirn to the Town. In the 
 same connection is found the following ; viz : " A return of a 
 Highway Layd out at Hunting Hills by Capt. Field, John 
 Gun, Fells Billings, John Clary and Noah Baker, who were 
 appointed for that service, viz.. Beginning at John Scotts 
 Hogs Pen the east side of his house running North West 
 point to a Bush LopS the west side of the way and continuing 
 the same point to a White Oak Stadle y'' east side of the way 
 
44 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 that is marked and from thence the same point to a pine 
 stump and from there to a Pine Stub marked the north side 
 of the way and from thence Steering Round a Hollow or Low 
 Land as near the brow of y* hill as may be and to come into 
 the Road about eight rods south of the Bridge on Saw Mill 
 River near Asahel Gunns land to be in width two rod the 
 whole Length of the way." 
 
 In the setting of off Montague from Sunderland there were 
 some grants of common and undivided land made to individ- 
 uals apparently to even things up, besides which there was the 
 following placed on record, which may be called a " sweep- 
 stakes " grant, viz : '' Voted and aGreed by the Inhabitants 
 of Sunderland and Montague that we grant to Capt Joseph 
 Root Josiah Alvord and Jon"' Carver Selectmen of the Dis- 
 trict of Montague to them and their associates all the Com- 
 mon and undivided Lands lying within the original Bound 
 of Sunderland Lying north of the Line that Divideth be- 
 tween the town of Sunderland & District of montague and 
 we the Inhabitants of Sunderland Do quit all Right or Claim to 
 s'^ Land or any part thereof and we the Inhabitants of mon-

46 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Hy this grant of the town of Montague the length of Sun- 
 derland alonof the Connectieut was reduced one-third from its 
 original proportions. The settlement amounting practically 
 to colonization which had occasioned this had not, however, 
 been confined to the northern part of the original grant, 
 but had been going on as well in the southeastern part, 
 though it was twenty years later before that settlement cul- 
 minated in the petition for the setting off of Leverett. The 
 quarter of a century from 1750 to 1773 was one of marked 
 growth in the population of the Connectieut Valley, notwith- 
 standine the disturbances of the French and Indian War,

 The presentation of this petition to the General Assembly 
 resulted in " An Act for incorporating" the easterly part of 
 the town of Sunderland in the County of Hampshire into a 
 town by the name of Leverett," which was passed. March 5, 
 1774. Vide Mass. Prov. Laws Vol. V, page 327. 
 
 But very little is found upon our town records in regard to 
 the steps taken by the town in answer to the foregoing pe- 
 tition of the farmers then living in the East part of the town. 
 
 It does not appear that there was any opposition to the di- 
 vision, or that there had been any lack of harmony between 
 the two sections of the town. 
 
 At a meeting of the town held October 25th, 1773 — " Voted 
 that we are willing to Refer the Division of the Town to a 
 Committee and that we will abide the Doings of the Com- 
 mittee hearafter expressed." 
 
 And further " Unanimously voted and agreed on the gen- 
 tlemen hearafter named that is Dea". Ebn'. Hunt of North- 
 hampton Lieu' David Field of Deerfield Maj Elisha Burk of 
 Bernardston En'. Phineas Field of Northfield Dea" Daniel 
 Moody of South Hadley " who were to constitute the Com- 
 mittee for making the division. 
 
 " Voted that if fore of this Committee can attend and no 
 more they shall chu.se the fift and .so proceed in their Buis- 
 ne.ss and if it so happen that but three of the above named 
 Committee can attend that we accept of their Doing as if 
 there was five." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 49 
 
 In order that the views of the townspeople should be prop- 
 erly presented, and the entertainment of the Committee pro- 
 vided for, it was further " Voted that we choose six men out 
 of this town to wait on the above named Committee that is 
 Capt Field Moses Graves & Rich'' Montague William Billing 
 Esq Simon Cooley & L^ John Clary," and also " Voted that 
 we Improve Lt. Abner Cooley & Jedidiah Clark to notify the 
 Committee above named that they attend on the Business 
 above named." 
 
 At a meeting held in December following the following 
 vote was passed, viz : " Voted that we accept of the Report of 
 the Committee consisting of Ebn^ Hunt John Burk Phineas 
 Wright Daniel Moody and Nath Diginson (?) Relating to a 
 Division of the Town of Sunderland with this addition that 
 the east part of s'^ Town pay their proportions of the Province 
 and County Taxes for the futer." 
 
 From the above vote it may be inferred that the Commit- 
 tee considered the matter and made a report, but what it 
 was we fear we shall never learn, except by inference from 
 what followed. 
 
 At a town meeting held in the month of January following 
 it was " Voted that we choose a Committee to answer to the 
 Sitation that we received from the General Court to give 
 reason if any we have why the East part of this town Should 
 not be set off as a District agreeable to their Petition." 
 
 •' Voted W"'. Billing Esq. Lt. John Clary Simon Cooley 
 Caleb Montague & Noadiah Leonard be a Committee to act 
 in behalf of the Town to answer to the Sitation above 
 named." 
 
 The act of incorporation was passed March 5th, 1774, and 
 at a town meeting held the following May, it was " Voted 
 that Lieut. Billing Esq to serve as an agent for the town to 
 make application to the General Court that the town of Lev- 
 erett may be annexed to this Town in the Choice of a Repre- 
 sentative and that they may pay their part of the cost of our 
 Representative the Last year." 
 
 Act of Incorporation. 
 
 " Whereas the inhabitants of the easterly part of Sunderland in 
 the County of Hampshire have represented to this Court the great

 nestly requested that they may be incorporated into a separate

 if they had remained therein. 
 Be it also enacted.

 first meeting for the choice of officers, and such other meetings as 
 may be called in said town of Leverett until a valuation of estates

MEETING HOUSES, MINISTERS AND 
 PARISHES. 
 
 Meeting Houses. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 The first Meeting House was raised June i8, 1717. It was 
 located in the street near the present house, and if the set- 
 tlers followed the examples of their fathers in Hadley and 
 Hatfield it was in the center of the street, with a travelled 
 way on each side. Its internal arrangement can now be de- 
 termined only inferentially from the records, which are too 
 indefinite in their statements to allow the construction of 
 any plan, but seem to lead to the following conclusions. 
 
 The house stood in the center of the street, measuring 45 
 feet from north to south, and 35 feet from east to west, with 
 a door in the center of each end. It was unfinished and had 
 no pulpit or permanent seats at the time of the ordination of 
 Mr. AVillard. In 17 19 it was plastered and " whitewa.shed " 
 and permanent seats and a pulpit erected about the same 
 time. The pulpit was probably on the east side of the house, 
 and the seats were at first benches only, with two or more 
 pews against the walls, one of which was near the pulpit, 
 larger than the others and called the " Great Pew." In 1723 
 or 1724 a gallery was erected, probably across the west side 
 of the house, and may afterwards have been extended. It 
 was at first supported by rough posts which were replaced 
 by " Pillars" in 1736, and was accessible by means of stairs 
 from the audience room. More pews were constructed from 
 time to time, encroaching finally upon the " body " of the 
 
HISTORY OP' SUNDERLAND. 63 
 
 house. The windows were the old fashioned diamond panes 
 set in lead, and the house was not originally clapboarded 
 with sawn boards ; these were supplied and modern sash 
 windows put in about 1750. The sexes sat apart from each 
 other until 1737, when they were allowed to sit together " in 
 the pews." There is nothing in the record to show that the 
 house was ever painted, and no indication of the existence of 
 any vestibule, steeple or cupola, though some place was ulti- 
 mately provided for a bell. 
 
 The "Seating of the Meeting House " was a troublesome 
 matter in Sunderland as in many New England towns in the 
 last century. In 1722 it was voted that " we will have the 
 Meeting House seated forthwith." "Voted that the pews 
 shall be esteamed in Dignity to be equal with the third seate 
 in the body of the house " and " that the Rule by which the 
 Seattees shall gow by in seatteing shall be by age estate & 
 Quallifications" and " Capt Joseph Field, Left. Billing Dea", 
 Hubbard, Ensign Jo'. Clary and Samuel Gunn were appointed 
 a Committee " " for the placein the Peopel in the Meeting 
 House." 
 
 In 1728 "Voted that we will seat the Meeting House and 
 choos a Committee for that servis & in order to that we pro- 
 ceed to Dignify the seats." 
 
 "Voted y*^ Great Pew to be the first; the Comer Pew to be next 
 (S: the foreseat in the Body to be next, & the second seat in the 
 Body to be next, and the next to that is the front Gallery & next is 
 the third pew, and next to that y*" third seat in the body, next to 
 that y pew under y*^ Stayers; & next that is y*^ pew in the front 
 gallery; and next to that is ye foreseat in the uper tear in y" Gal- 
 lery & y'' next is the fourth seat in y'' body & next that is the fore- 
 seat in y*^ town tear in the gallery, and next to it is the second seat 
 in the front gallery & next is y last seat in the body." 
 
 In 1736 the seats were " dignified " again and Dec. 23"', 
 1737, a Seating Committee was appointed who had liberty 
 "to act their judgment," "only we desire that they shall 
 have a Due regard to age & estate." 
 
 April 10, 1738, "Voted that we will throw up all y'' hath 
 been done in seating the meeting hou.se." The seats were 
 then estimated and a committee of nine was appointed and 
 directed " to seat the fleeting House in this Method ; the 
 
54 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 three oldest by themselves, and the Middle aged by them- 
 selves, and the three youngest by themselves ; and then bring 
 their Locatings & compare them together and when agreed 
 to bring their seating to the town to see if the Town will 
 aprove of it. Voted that we esteem Two pound estate and 
 one years age equal." The ineeting was then adjourned to 
 another day, but there is no further record. 
 
 The arrival of the hour for public worship was announced 
 by raising a flag until 1737, when the beating of a drum was 
 substituted; the flag was restored in 1740, and the Drum 
 came in again in 1742, and in 1745 gave way to "blowing the 
 Cunk shell," but this only answered for one year when the 
 drum was resumed. 
 
 In 175 1 it was voted " to sell the Little Boggie Meadow 
 and improve the money to buy a Meeting House Bell for the 
 use of the first precinct in Sunderland and sell as much land 
 at Hunting Hills as will produce as much money as the Lit- 
 tle Boggie Meadow fetcheth to be improved either to build- 
 ing a Meeting House or settling a minister there." 
 
 The bell was procured and set up as early as 1754. 
 
 Second Meeting House, 1792-93-94. 
 
 In 1789 voted to sell town land and apply the product to- 
 wards building a meeting house. At a meeting held in 
 March, 1792, " Lieut. Cooley, Col. Whitmore Nathaniel Smith 
 & Capt. Field and Melzar Hunt were chosen a Committee to 
 lay a plan of the Method to build it." Their report was as 
 follows : 
 
 "That the house be built 54 feet long and thirty eight feet wide, 
 and that the Post be 25 feet long and that there be a tower and 
 steeple at one end, and a poarch at the other and that there be 
 thirty four windows in the body of the house, and forty squares of 
 seven by nine Glass in a window, and forty one Pews on the lower 
 floor:" — That the Town raise by Tax one hundred pounds to be 
 paid in Timber and labor, for and about the frame, and that the town 
 be classed in several classes for procuring the Timber and that the 
 town appropriate the money due for common Land for use as afore- 
 said, and that they choose a Committee to receive the pay & pur- 
 chase Articles necessary to build the house, and that the town sell 
 the Common Land which yet remains and take the pay in boards 
 
I 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 55 
 
 and shingles and other articles necessary for the work; and that the 
 Pews be sold by estimation or vendue to complete the work." 
 "Voted and chose Capt. Field, Lieu*^ Cooley, Nath' Smith, Selah 
 Graves, and Cotton Graves, a Committee to Receive the debts due 
 the town and lay it out in Nails and Glass and other materials for 
 said house." 
 
 "May, 1792 Voted that we will set up the frame of a Meeting 
 House with a tower and porch to the same, betwixt this and the 
 first day of June 1793." 
 
 "Voted that we will cover and underpin said house during the 
 year of the Summer of 1793" "Voted and chose Lieu'' Cooley, Capt. 
 Field, Selah Graves, Col Whitmore, and Giles Hubbard, a Com- 
 mittee to set up said house cover & underpin and glass it agreeable 
 to the above votes." 
 
 "Voted that the above Committee collect what is due the town 
 or what may be due hereafter, for Town Land and appropriate the 
 same towards building said house" "in manner as the Town has 
 agreed." 
 
 "Voted to direct the Comf^ appointed at a former meeting to 
 apply to Lieut Delano and John Rowe, Jr. to see if they can pro- 
 cure a piece of land at the corner of their home lots to set the 
 Meeting House on the bigness of said house." 
 
 "Voted that we are willing to receive donations in timber and 
 labor towards building a Meeting House from persons who are not 
 inhabitants of this town." 
 
 "Voted that we are willing to sell Pews in the new Meeting house 
 to persons who are not inhabitants of this town." At a later meet- 
 ing it was "Voted that we are willing that all persons not inhabi- 
 tants of this town who may choose to purchase pews in the new 
 meeting house to stand an equal chance with us in purchasing." 
 "Voted that we will purchase nine rods of land of Lieut Delano at 
 the south east corner of his home lot to set the meeting house upon 
 at 10^ per rod" 
 
 '' Voted and chose Capt. Field, Col Whitmore, Serg^ Hubbard, 
 Lieu* Cooley, and Selah Graves, a Comt^'' to number and sell the 
 Pews in the Meeting House," "that we appoint Monday the thirty 
 first day of Dec. inst. for the vendue." " Voted that those who 
 purchase Pews shall pay for the same in neat Cattle or Grain to be 
 paid on the first day of March 1794 with Lawful interest from that 
 time till paid." " Voted that those who purchase Pews shall fur- 
 nish sufficient bondsmen for the pay." 
 
56 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 A Committee was chosen to take down the old meeting 
 house the following Spring, viz : " Melzar Hunt, Oliver Wil- 
 liams, Selah Graves, Capt Field, and Cotton Graves." 
 
 A copy of the number of the pews and the persons to 
 whom they were sold can be found in the second book of 
 records in the Town Clerk's office, and also the ground plan 
 of the pews. According to a vote passed in January, 1 793, the 
 Committee were directed to build a cupola instead of a spire 
 upon the meeting house. That vote was never carried out, 
 but the spire was erected according to the original plan. 
 
 This second edifice had one embellishment not common in 
 country meeting houses of the present day, viz : a " sounding 
 board" over the minister's head. This is called to mind by 
 the record of the following vote passed in October, 1793, viz : 
 
 "Voted that We direct the Meeting House Committee to proceed 
 and finish the house and make a Canopy over the pulpit." 
 
 "Jan. 2d 1794 Voted that we desire Mr. Porter of Ashfield to 
 come and preach a Lecture in this town at the Dedication of the 
 new Meeting House." "and Mr. Nash to attend and assist on said 
 day" "Voted that appoint Wednesday the 15th. day of Jan. inst for 
 the Dedication of the new Meeting House." 
 
 "Voted that we will agree with Dea" Clark to entertain those 
 ministers who shall preach in this town agreeable to the above 
 vote" 
 
 It may be said that the votes which were pas.sed relative to 
 persons not inhabitants of the town, being allowed privileges 
 in the meeting house, arose from the fact that at that 
 time there was no organized church or meeting house at 
 South Deerfield. Residents of that village came to Sunder- 
 land to meeting. The new meeting house was built in 1792 
 and 1793 and dedicated Jan. 15, 1794, and in the same period 
 the town built a new school house which stood on the corner 
 north of the present postoffice, and also settled Rev. Asa 
 Lyon as their minister. On account of indiscreet conduct 
 Mr. Lyon was dismissed in less than a year after he was or- 
 dained. The town had already given him some money as a 
 .settlement, a home lot and some out lands. There was delay 
 in recovering the land after he left, but the church finally 
 regained it. 
 
history of sunueklanu. 57 
 
 Ministp:rs. 
 
 The early proprietors of Sunderland regarded the support 
 of publie worship, and the offiees of a settled minister of the 
 gospel, as not the least important of their duties and privi- 
 leges. The promptness with which they sought for their 
 first minister is shown in the settlement of the town, and it 
 is interesting to observe from their records that whenever 
 the ministerial office among them was vacant, there was no 
 matter of town concern in which they were occupied more 
 faithfully and persistently, than in their efforts to fill the 
 vacancy. In illustration of their character in this respect, 
 and of the manners of those early days, extracts from these 
 records in fuller detail than upon some other topics arc here 
 given. 
 
 Rev. Joseph Willard. 
 
 The Rev. Joseph Willard, the first minister of vSunder- 
 land, ordained (by the church record) January i, 1718, was 
 the son of Samuel and Sarah (Clark) Willard, and born 
 at Saybrook, Connecticut. He seems not to have been mar- 
 ried at the time of his ordination, but was afterwards mar- 
 ried, and probably during his residence in Sunderland, to 
 Miss Susannah Lynde. By the terms "of his settlement he 
 received a gift in fee of the " Minister Lot" for a Homestead, 
 and ten acres to be taken up in the " common lands," and 
 the sum of ^170 for the purpose of building him a house. 
 He was to receive an annual salary of £6^^, to be increased 
 in five years to £^0 and his firewood. The town subsequent- 
 ly gave him the use of " a tract of land at the mouth of Clay 
 brook," bounded south on the road running to the river at 
 " the Rocks " and east on the highway, so long as he should 
 continue in the work of the ministry with them ; and he 
 seems to have shared in the subsequent divisions of the Pas- 
 ture Lots and Hunting Hill Field. He erected on his home 
 lot the house, which is now standing, owned and occupied

 There is no record of any difficulty or disagreement with 
 Mr. Willard, but it appears that on 6th April, 1721, he had 
 left the town. He removed to Rutland, Mass., where he

 had inherited lands, preached there for some time, had ac- 
 cepted a call to settle, and the day was fixed for his installa- 
 tion. But on the 23rd of August, 1723, the Indians made a 
 sudden attack upon the town, and encountered Mr. Willard 
 who was absent from his home. He was armed, and it is 
 said fought manfully, killed one of his assailants and wounded 
 another, but was overpowered, slain and scalped. He left a 
 son William, and another son, Joseph, was born about three 
 months after his decease. His widow married Rev, Andrew 
 Gardner, first of Worcester and afterwards of Winchester, 
 N. H. The sermon at Mr. Willard's ordination in Sunder- 
 land was b}'' Rev. Solomon Stoddard of Northampton, and 
 published. 
 
 It is the following vote passed by the town, April 6, 1721, 
 which gives us the first notice of the dismissal of Mr. Wil- 
 lard: "Voted that we will mack choice of two men to in- 
 quire and seek after a minister to com and preach among us " 
 and that " we make choice of Deack Same' Gun Dea'= Isaac 
 Hubbard to gow upon that servis with that speed & Dilli- 
 gence that may be with conveniency." 
 
 What success this committee achieved does not appear, but 
 on 24th July, 1 72 1, it was voted "to send two men to inquire 
 for Mr. Pumry and if that Design fail with him, then to seek 
 after another to come to be a minister in this place." 
 
 Oct. 9, 1 72 1. "Voted by the major part of the town that 
 we will give Mr. Burr a call in order to settlement." This 
 was probably Rev. Isaac Burr of Connecticut, a graduate of 
 Yale in 1717. He was afterwards settled in Worcester, Octo- 
 ber 13th, 1725, and died in 1751 at Windsor, Vermont. lie 
 had evidently been preaching for some time in Sunderland, 
 but he did not accept his call. 
 
 In the following month Dea. Hubbard is requested to go 
 down to Guilford to see if he can obtain Mr. Rossiter' and if 
 not, any other minister to preach with a view to settlement ; 
 and a committee of four men is sent to Deerfield " to treat 
 with Mr. Warham Williams ^///r/Z/^r about coming to settle 
 
 'This was probably Rev. Ebenezer Rossiter (Yale, 1718) who settled at Ston- 
 ington, Ci. in 1722. 
 
 'Rev. Warham Williams was son of Rev. John Williams of Deerfield and 
 one of the captives when Deerfield was destroyed in 1704. He graduated at 
 Harvard in 1719, was settled at VVatertown in 1723 and died in 1751, aged 52.

 among- us." There seem to have been serious negotiations 
 with Mr. Williams, but on December 4, 172 1, it was "voted 
 that we will not wait any longer upon Mr. Warham Wil- 
 liams." 
 
 On December 20th, they voted to employ " Mr. Henry 
 Dwite " of Hatfield " to Git a minister for this town in the 
 bay parts," and on December 29, resumed negotiations with 
 Mr. Williams by appointing a committee of five " to discourse 
 further with Mr. Warham Williams in order to a settlement 
 and to hier him to preach for us for a time." 
 
 Jan. 9, 1722, a committee is appointed "to gow down into 
 the Baye^ parts to see if they can obtayne a minister." 
 
 Feby. 5, 1722, they gave "Mr. Benjamin Fessenden'-" a 
 call to settle, and appointed a committee to treat with him. 
 He was probably preaching there at the time. 
 
 April 20, 1722, Voted " to wait six weeks for an answer 
 from Mr. Minor." Nothing more is said of the minister thus 
 abruptly introduced. 
 
 May II, 1722, another Committee was sent into the " Bay 
 parts " after a minister and another to Deerfield to hire Mr. 
 Williams "for some time." 
 
 June II, 1722, after a motion to call Mr. Williams had been 
 negatived, the committee of May 11, were again directed to 
 go into the Bay parts, and July 16 another Committee is ap- 
 pointed " to try to hire a minister for a quarter of a year." 
 
 Dec. 18, 1722, "we will send a man down to Mr. Styles^ & 
 that we will write a letter for his incuragement & therein 
 make some proposals to him," and Dec. 31, "Voted to wait 
 upon Mr. Styles till his time be out that he is ingaged for in 
 the school at Westfield " and Mr. Williams of Hatfield and Mr. 
 Williams of Deerfield are besought to engage the assistance 
 of Mr. Edwards'* and Mr. Marsh"' of Windsor with Mr. 
 Styles.

 January 8, 1723, Capt. Billing is sent to Windsor to confer 
 with the ministers about Mr. Styles and the whole affair is 
 put in the hands of a Committee, and so late as July 5 it was 
 still undetermined and a Committee was sent to confer with 
 Mr. Styles at Westfield ; but by the 23rd of the same month 
 it had been given up. and Capt. Billing and Joseph Root were 
 sent into the Bay part "after a Minister." 
 
 The efforts of this Committee were successful. They 
 secured the services of Mr. Rand, who came probably about 
 August I St on an engagement for three months, which re- 
 sulted in his settlement and ordination on May 20th, 1724. 
 The ordination sermon was by Rev. Isaac Chauncey of Had- 
 ley from 2 Cor. xii, 15, and was published. 
 
 Rev. William Rand. 
 
 Rev. William Rand, 2nd pastor of the church, was born at 
 Charlestown about 169S. and graduated at Harv\ard college 
 in 1721. Remarried Bridget, daughter of Westwood Cooke 
 of Hadley. After he left Sunderland, and in 1746, he was 
 settled as pastor of the church in Kingston. Mass., where he 
 died in 1779. He was a man of very considerable ability. 
 He published two sermons while in Sunderland, one on 
 Preaching Christ, 1736, and one at the ordination of Rev. 
 David ParsQus in Amherst in 1739. Also sermons at the or- 
 dination of Rev. Abraham Williams in Sandwich, 1749, Rev. 
 Abraham Hill in Shutesbury, 1762, and the Annual Conven- 
 tion sermon in 1757. 
 
 The following is said to be a copy of the inscription on Mr. 
 Rand's tombstone in Kingston : 
 
 "In memory of the Revd. M. William Rand, died March 
 y*^ 14, 1779 aged 79 years wanting 7 days. 
 
 Here'* one who long had run the Christian Race: 
 
 Kindly relieved reclines his hoary head, 
 .\nd sweetly slumb'ring in this dark embrace 
 
 Listens the welcome sound, 'Arise y"^^ dead.'" 
 
 The terms of settlement proposed to Mr. Rand by vote of 
 April 23, 1724, which were apparently accepted and carried 
 into effect, seem to have been quite liberal. He was to have 
 a .salary of £^0 per annum ; the homestead lately Mr. Wil- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 61 
 
 lard's, a lot of 4^ acres in first division, a lot of ten acres on 
 second division, a mowing lot of four acres in flag swamp, 
 two lots in Hunting Hill meadow, containing fourteen acres, 
 twenty acres at the " Plumbtrees," ten acres in the Seques- 
 tered Mile and Pasture Lot No. 17, all these in fee and the use 
 of the Clay Brook land and 20 acres in the Commons while he 
 should remain their minister. The salary was increased to 
 i;ioo in 1730, i;ii5 in I735. /^i35 in 1736, i;i5oin 1738, i; 175 
 in 1 741 and ^^"200 in 1743. The increase was owing in great 
 part doubtless to the constant and rapid depreciation of the 
 currency. 
 
 The record makes no mention of the reasons for the disso- 
 lution of the relation between Mr. Rand and the church and 
 people, but in the absence of all knowledge of any personal 
 reason, the true cause may be readily surmised. The period 
 between 1740 and 1750 was one of great religious excitement 
 and agitation in New England. Rev. George Whitefield was 
 in the country in 1740 and again in 1744, and for two or 
 three years. His course of proceeding and his style of 
 preaching were warmly welcomed, and as warmly denounced 
 by pastors and people of differing sentiments, and much di- 
 vision in the churches arose from his presence and that 
 of other preachers of like character. There were divisions 
 in the Sunderland church dating from this period. The 
 people probably sympathized to some extent with the new 
 movement and Mr. Rand did not. The town voted, Decem- 
 ber 6, 1742, " that we are inclined to allow travelling preachers 
 to preach among us." Rev. Thaddeus Maccarty, Mr. Rand's 
 predecessor at Kingston, who was dismissed about the time 
 Mr. Rand left Sunderland, was a warm admirer of Whitefield, 
 while his people appointed a Committee to prevent itinerant 
 preachers from disturbing the peace of the town. These 
 facts indicate very strongly the cause of Mr. Rand's dismissal. 
 It appears by the record of September 20, 1745, that the town 
 was then destitute of a minister, and on December 2nd, 1745, 
 they voted to pay Air. Rand ;6^ioo old tenor " for what he 
 preached last year." 
 
 At the meeting of Sept, 20, 1745, Capt. Montague, Ensign 
 Field and Daniel Hubbard were appointed a Committee to 
 hire preaching till such times as we have a minister settled 
 
62 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 among us " and they appear to have attended to that service 
 until the vacancy was filled. 
 
 Rev. Thomas Lewis preached for a considerable period in 
 the town, and on the 2nd January, 1747, the town voted to 
 agree with the church in inviting him to settle, but the call 
 was for some reason ineffectual. 
 
 On the loth July, 1747, the town voted to unite with the 
 church in an invitation to Rev. Joseph Ashley, and he was 
 installed 3rd pastor of the church about November ist, 1747. 
 The terms of his settlement were a " salary of ^^240 old tenor, 
 as wheat at 16" a bushel. Rye at 12^ Indian corn at 8' and 
 pork at I*" the standard to be calculated the second week in 
 January." He was also to receive a settlement of ^^700 and 
 his annual supply of fire wood. 
 
 Rev. Joseph Ashley. 
 
 It has been stated by Mr. Taft, that the Rev. Joseph Ash- 
 ley succeeded Mr. Rand in the ministry, being settled in 
 1747. His salary was paid in farm produce, prices being ad- 
 justed each year by a committee chosen by the town at their 
 annual meeting, which also arranged his yearly supply of 
 firewood, varying from 40 to 60 cords per year. The common 
 price of wQod at that time was three shillings per cord. It 
 may be presumed that the wood was delivered " sled length " 
 for according to tradition fire-places were built large enough 
 for wood of that length. The wood was furnished and drawn 
 by various townsmen, who received their pay " in the next 
 year's rates," the price for which was fixed by a Committee, 
 elected annually at the town meeting. There was much 
 variation in the value of wood and grains from year to 3^ear. 
 At the meeting when Mr. Ashley was settled, it was voted 
 " that we agree with David Hubbard to keep the ministers 
 and Delegates that shall be sent for the installing the Rev. 
 Mr. Ashley in the work of the ministry amongst us, and 
 other gentlemen who may be here." 
 
 It was necessary to choose a Committee ; or authorize the 
 assessors (which was often done) to adjust Mr. Ashley's sal- 
 ary with him, in order to fix the prices of the articles of farm 
 produce for payment of his salary. Prices varying in conse-

 Rev. Joseph Ashley's Certificate of Marriage 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 63 
 
 quence of the changes in money values by what was termed 
 the "old tenor" and "new tenor" modes of reckoning. 
 
 The Rev. Joseph Ashley besides his salary agreed upon, 
 was given several tracts of land as a settlement, a custom of 
 the Colonies. At a meeting held March 6, 1758, the follow- 
 ing persons were chosen a Committee to adjust prices 
 with him, viz : Dea". Smith Dea". Montague Capt Field, 
 Dan'. Hubbard & Lieut. Billing, and at a subsequent meet- 
 ing, March 5, 1759, the following vote was passed: 
 
 " Whereas there has been a grant made by this town to Rev. Jo- 
 seph Ashley of several lots of land and accepted by him as a part of 
 his settlement but no record of land grant has been made, it was 
 voted that a record be now made that the said lots or tracts of land 
 that have been granted and confirmed to him the said Joseph Ash- 
 ley and to his heirs and assigns forever viz: one house lot No. 10 
 on the West side of the street with the building on the same, and 
 one lot No. 6 in the Great Swamp or 2''. Division of mowing in the 
 South field also a piece of land in the South Field in the First Divis- 
 ion of Plow L.and between lot No. i and the West House lots ex- 
 cept what is improved for a Burial Place and way to it ; also a tract 
 of land on Mitchells hill so called bounded north on Capt. Jont'\ 
 Field's Lane and highway at the south end of s'' hill East y^' high- 
 way on y'^ East side of y^ Sequesterd Land and west on the high- 
 way at the east end of the east House Lots." 
 
 Although Mr. Ashley was the pastor of the church for 
 nearly 40 years and pastor emeritus till the day of his death, 
 yet, during his ministry there was much dissension between 
 pastor and people. These differences arose from external 
 matters and not from dissatisfaction with his clerical minis- 
 trations. There seemed to be a culmination of this strife in 
 1765, and as the "old tenor" and "new tenor" modes of 
 reckoning was more or less a factor in their dissension, those 
 terms should be explained. The Province of Massachusetts 
 Bay in common with all American Colonies suffered for the 
 want of a circulating medium so greatly, that at an early 
 period they established a mint and coined shillings and six 
 pences in defiance of the royal prerogative. About 1690 the 
 Colony first issued paper money, called " Bills of Credit " to 
 pay war expenses. The Province repeated the experiment 
 several times till about 1750 when it called in the paper issue 
 
64 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 to redeem it. After a certain time these bills were issued in 
 a new form and under somewhat different conditions, and to 
 distinguish them the phrases "old tenor" and " new tenor" 
 came into use and are found on the statutes. Although the 
 bills were redeemable in silver, they depreciated greatly, 
 and the Legislature was forced to recognize this fact and to 
 change the standard of value from time to time. " New 
 tenor" bills came to be worth three or four times as much as 
 " old tenor," and later it took seven or eight pounds of " old 
 tenor " to buy one pound of silver money. It would seem 
 from the records that "old tenor" was more commonly 
 used. 
 
 The pounds and shillings in use by our fathers at this time 
 were not English coins but the Massachusetts pounds and 
 shillings, a shilling being sixteen and two-thirds cents; a 
 pound, three dollars thirty-three and one-third cents, as 
 measured by our present standard of currency. It ought not, 
 therefore, to be confounded with the English pound, called a 
 pound Sterling, and valued at nearl}' five dollars. 
 
 The town record states that the town voted " to give the 
 Rev. Mr. Ashley five hundred pounds annually provided 
 Mr. Ashley would give up his former contract with the town 
 for salary." Then follows this entry : 
 
 " Upon information that the town voted to give the Rev. Mr. 
 Ashley five hundred pounds 'old tenor' he was pleased to make the 
 following reply to the town meeting." 
 
 " To the freeholders and other inhabitants of the town of Sunder- 
 land, assembled in town meeting by adjournment on March y"^ ii, 
 1765 : Whereas, many inconveniences and difificulties attend the 
 contract made with me at my settlement heir respecting my salary, 
 and you having voted to give me annually for a salary the sum of 
 five hundred pounds 'old tenor' which is si.xty-five pounds thirteen 
 shillings and four pence Lawful money 1 am willing the said con- 
 tract made att my settlement, excepting what related to j-our sup- 
 plying me with firewood be disannulled, and do hereby on my part 
 disannull and render these same void and of none effect. Provided 
 the like be done on your part, as witness my hand 
 
 Joseph Ashley." 
 
 After this settlement in regard to Mr. Ashley's salary and 
 the quieting of the troubles which had arisen in con.sequence 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 65 
 
 of the change in money values all matters went along very 
 smoothly for some time, probably until the war of the Revo- 
 lution. Very likely the town neglected to re-adjust his salary 
 from time to time to accord with the continuing depreciation 
 of the currency. At the commencement of the Revolutionary 
 war — the disagreements in regard to salary — were renewed, 
 and adjusted several times. 
 
 During the years following 1765, the colonists were divided 
 into two parties, the first called Tories, who sympathized 
 with the English government and were in favor of submit- 
 ting to the taxation policy of Parliament which had at that 
 time become quite obnoxious to the American colonists; and 
 the second, Whigs, who opposed paying taxes to England. 
 These names were brought from England having been used 
 there many years. 
 
 The Whigs, very much in earnest in opposition to what 
 they called oppression — denounced the sugar act of 1764 and 
 the stamp act of 1765 as unconstitutional. Mr. Ashley sym- 
 pathized with the Tories, as did some other of his towns- 
 men, yet as a majority were Whigs, there was a continual 
 dissension between them. During the war of the Revolution 
 all towns were called upon by state governments to furnish 
 supplies for the army, which increased taxes, and as Mr. 
 Ashley did not sympathize with the war, his people thought 
 he did not bear his proportion of the increased taxation. They 
 were fretted by his daily disapproval and influence exerted 
 against independence, and the frank speech of that period 
 contributed much to the unpleasant feeling existing between 
 pastor and people. 
 
 The following extract from the record will serve to show 
 the extent of the depreciation of the currency and the cor- 
 responding increase in the price of the various commodities : 
 
 " Voted, that we give twenty-four dollars a day for work 
 on the highway from the middle of March till the middle of 
 October and eighteen dollars a day for the rest of the year" — 
 and this order passed December 4, 1780, "That we give 
 seventy two dollars a cord for wood for Mr. Ashley & the 
 school." 
 
 It appears that the town neglected to pay Mr. Ashley the 
 full amount of his salary, or to make up the deficiency caused 
 by the depression of the currency, thinking themselves justi- 
 
66 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 fied in requiring him in some way to pay his proportion of 
 the increased taxation which was the result of the war, they 
 accordingly at different times chose Committees " to treat 
 with him for that purpose." Such efforts were followed up 
 for many years, but with little effect. 
 
 There is no doubt but that Mr. Ashley was sustained in 
 his unyielding position by his cousins, Squire Ashley and 
 Parson Ashley of Deerfield, who were much more active and 
 bitter in their enmity against the Colonial Government than 
 the Sunderland pastor. 
 
 It was* believed there were members of the parish — who 
 were not church members — who took great satisfaction in 
 fomenting these disagreements. 
 
 In December, 1779, the town voted to " chose a Committee 
 to converse with Mr. Ashley Respecting his salary for the 
 present year and to treat with him respecting his proportion- 
 able part of the charge the town has been at the past year." 
 At a town meeting held February 23rd, 1780 : 
 
 "Voted that we take into consideration the Proposal that was 
 sent by Mr. Ashley to the town at our last Dec""", meeting Respect- 
 ing his being Dismis' from the Public administration." 
 
 " Voted that we appoint a Committee to go and convers with Mr. 
 Ashley and to know of him on what terms he is willing to Desist 
 from the public administration." "and also to know of him what 
 he will be willing to supply the Pulpit for the year ensuing." 
 
 "Voted that Jedi Clark Dan' Montague Cap. Hubbard En^ 
 Strong and Lemuel Dilleno be a Com*^ for the business above ex- 
 pressed." 
 
 At a meeting held in March following a similar vote 
 was passed, viz: "That we request the Rev. Mr. Ashley on 
 what terms he will desist from officiating in his ministerial 
 office." 
 
 But Mr. Ashley would not desist till the town had paid him 
 the amount he thought due on his salary, on account of the 
 depreciation of the currency. 
 
 It may not be known to the present generation that at that 
 time as well as many years after, when a minister was set- 
 tled over a church, he was .settled for life ; consequently it 
 was not easy getting rid of a minister when his people de- 
 sired to do so. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 67 
 
 Mr. Ashley made some proposal to the town as to the 
 terras upon which he would desist, for a committee was 
 chosen consisting of Daniel Cooley, John Rowe and David 
 Sprague to report to Mr. Ashley " the town's vote respect- 
 ing his proposal," but his proposition was not such an one as 
 the town thought proper to accept, and no agreement was 
 made, as the following votes will show, passed at several 
 meetings held the ensuing four years. Some of these votes 
 are 'printed below to show the condition that pastor and 
 people were in during that time. 
 
 " Dec. 9, 1782. Voted that if Mr. Ashley will resign some part 
 of his salary they will appropriate the same to hiring preaching so 
 far as it will go, provided Mr. Ashley will give his consent." 
 
 "Voted Capt. Hubbard Mr. Phineas Graves and Mr. Giles Hub- 
 bard be Comf^'' to acquaint Mr. Ashley of the foregoing vote and 
 acquaint the meeting with his answer" "The Committee report 
 that Mr. Ashley is not willing to relintiuish any part of his salary. 
 
 At a meeting held March 1st, 1784: 
 
 "Voted Phineas Graves Col. Whitmore & Cap' Leonard be a 
 Committee to go and converse with Rev. Mr. Ashley respecting 
 an address sent to this meeting from Mr. Ashley containing his 
 proposals for the settlement of the deficiencies. of his salary in years 
 past occasioned by the depreciation of paper Money." 
 
 At the annual town meeting held in March, 1784: 
 
 " Voted That we choose to have the Rev. Mr. Ashley desist from 
 his public administrations provided Mr. Ashley and the town can 
 agree upon the terms." 
 
 "Voted that Phineas Graves Giles Hubbard Elisha Smith Lieut 
 Delano and Capt. Leonard be a Comt^^ to inform Mr. Ashley of the 
 last mentioned vote and request of him to signify to the town upon 
 what terms he will desist" 
 
 " March 29th, 1784 met by adjournment & Voted that we are 
 willing to leave the matter in controversy with Mr. Ashley respect- 
 ing the depreciation of his salary to Indifferent men mutually chosen 
 for that purpose." 
 
 "Voted that Capt. Leonard Phin** Graves Simon Cooley Dan'. 
 Montague Elisha Smith Lieu'. Delano and Giles Hubbard be a 
 Comtee to carry on the above mentioned affair with Rev. Mr. Ash- 
 ley in behalf of the town." 
 
68 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 "April 5th. met by adjournment " " The Comt'^'^ chosen to carry on 
 the above mentioned affair reported to the meeting that they had 
 not done anything in the above mentioned affair for which they were 
 chosen." 
 
 "Voted that Simon Cooley Phin^ Graves Cap^ Leonard Lieut 
 Delano and Elisha Smith be a Comt'''^ for the above mentioned pur- 
 pose and that the s'' Comtee be directed to state or agree upon such 
 articles in Mr. Ashley request which was presented to the town as 
 they think proper to submit to an Arbitration and see if Mr. Ashley 
 will agree thereto." 
 
 " At a meeting held April 8'^' by Adjournment — ^Voted. That the 
 Comtee chosen to carry on the matters in controversy with Mr. 
 Ashley in behalf of the town reported to the meeting that Mr. Ash- 
 ley did not agree to the proposals they made him respecting what 
 they would leave to an Arbitration and on the question being put to 
 the town whether the town would leave the affair to an Arbitration 
 according to Mr. Ashleys proposals the votes therefor could not be 
 obtained." 
 
 "The Comtee chosen to get Mr. Ashleys Terms on which he 
 would desist from his public Administrations report that he will de- 
 sist therefrom provided the Town will allow him 350 pounds per 
 annuna and Thirty cords of wood so long as the Town is without a 
 settled minister, and after the town shall settle a minister he will 
 not require more than one half of his stated salary ; & on the ques- 
 tion being put to know if the Town would agree to the above men- 
 tioned terms a vote therefor could not be obtained." 
 
 At a meeting- held April 23rd, the Town voted to refuse to 
 hire Mr. Ashley any longer and chose a Committee to hire 
 preaching for three months, but at the same meeting these 
 votes were reconsidered, they concluding that a better way 
 would be to stibmit the controversy to a Council ; they voted 
 accordingly, " That we are willing to leave all affairs in con- 
 troversy with Mr. Ashley to a Mutual Cotmcil excepting 
 what he demands of the Town to make up the deficiency of 
 his Salary in years past." Voted further, " That we desire 
 the Church to request Mr. Ashley to call a Church Meeting 
 to see if they can agree upon calling a Council for the afore- 
 said purpose." A committee was chosen " to inform Mr. 
 Ashley of the above mentioned votes and Consult with him 
 upon the affair." 
 
 As may be seen by the above votes the town continuously 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 69 
 
 insisted that Mr. Ashley ought to assist in paying the extra 
 expense the town had incurred on account of the war. 
 
 It seems that no action had been taken in the way of set- 
 tlement from April to August 2nd of the same year. It 
 may be inferred from what followed that Mr. Ashley had 
 begun to take legal steps to collect what he thought his due, 
 and therefore at a meeting of the town held August 2'"', 
 (1784), they voted, "That we are willing to settle the contro- 
 versy betwixt Mr. Ashley and the Town respecting the de- 
 ficiency in years past provided we can agree upon the man- 
 ner and terms without having the matter decided by Law." 
 
 " Voted that Mr. Ashley signify his mind to the Town whether he 
 is willing to settle the controversy between him and the Town re- 
 peating what he demands for the deficiency of his salary in any other 
 way but by Law." 
 
 These votes were sent to Mr. Ashley " with a request for 
 his answer thereto," and at an adjourned meeting held the 
 following Wednesday, August 4th, " Mr. Ashley sent the 
 Town the following answer :" 
 
 "Gentlemen Bretheren & Neighbors" 
 
 " These are to inform you that I propose not to make 
 any more proposals respecting the deficiencies of my Salary on ac- 
 count of the depreciation of Paper Currency, but if you are disposed 
 to make any to me that shall appear to me reasonable 1 shall be 
 ready to comply therewith." Joseph Ashley. 
 
 "To the Inhabitants of Sunderland assembled in Town Meeting 
 August 4th. 1784:" 
 
 "Gentlemen & Brethren &c." 
 
 " I am willing to settle the controversy between me and 
 the Town without its being decided by Law provided we can come 
 to an amicable agreement." 
 
 " I am your Pastor & friend." 
 
 "Joseph Ashley." 
 
 At the meeting above mentioned a Committee was chosen 
 to confer with Mr. Ashley upon the manner and terms of 
 settling the controversy. 
 
 At a meeting held August 6th, the committee reported as 
 follows, viz : 
 
 That Mr. ashley says that seeing he has been obliged to commence 
 
70 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 an action against the Town he shall make no more proposals to them 
 respecting the settlement of what he demands for deficiences of his 
 Salary in years past but if the town will make any proposals to him 
 that shall appear any way reasonable he will take them into consid- 
 eration, and to the proposal made to him to leave the affair to an 
 arbitration he said he was not able to give an answer at present and 
 not till he had consulted with his Attorney, for he had advised him 
 not to leave it to an arbitration as it would not be for his interest 
 to settle it in that manner." 
 
 "On the report of s''. Committee, Voted, That we will defend 
 ourselves the best manner we can in the action commenced against 
 us by the Rev. Mr. Ashley." 
 
 A Committee was chosen " to carr}' on the action with Mr. 
 Ashley in behalf of the town." The Committee was in- 
 structed to " go to Springfield and take the advice of Air. 
 Moses Bliss Attorney respecting the affair which we are en- 
 gaged in with Mr. Ashley." 
 
 The result of the trial which was held at vSpringfield was 
 that Mr. Ashley won his case, so far as it related to " the de- 
 ficiencies of his salary in years past." But the matter of his 
 '"desisting" froin the administration of his official duties as 
 pastor remained unsettled. In this matter another contro- 
 versy arose. The town desired a settlement with Mr. Ash- 
 ley without another trial, and endeavored to come to one by 
 an agreement. A Committee was chosen for this purpose, 
 who, at an adjourned meeting, reported " that Mr. Ashley 
 would desist from the exercise of his Ministerial office pro- 
 vided he can have one half his salary and 30 Cords of wood 
 during natural life." This proposal was not complied with. 
 
 At a meeting held in the following November, "Voted 
 that we are willing to leave the affair in controvery with 
 Mr. Ashley respecting his desisting from the exercise of his 
 Ministerial office among us with three of the men advised 
 by the late Council provided we can come to an agreement." 
 A Committee was chosen to consult with Mr. Ashley upon 
 three men to decide their " controvery." The Committee re- 
 ported to the Town that they had mutually agreed upon 
 Capt Hunt as Chairman ; Mr. Ashley proposed John Hast- 
 ings, Esq., the Committee proposed Josiah Dwight. Mr. 
 Ashley would not consent to Mr. Dwight's being one, and 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 71 
 
 nominated Deacon White, and said that if he might not be 
 accepted he should not consent at present to leave it to said 
 men. 
 
 " The Town directed the said Committee to inform Mr. 
 Ashley that it was their right to choose one man, if he did 
 not consent to the one they had chosen the matter was at an 
 end. Mr. Ashley said that he should not consent at present 
 tho he did not know but that he should upon further consid- 
 eration." 
 
 It seems upon "further consideration" Mr. Ashley con- 
 cluded to accept the names proposed as arbitrators. At a 
 meeting held November i8, 1784, the town voted " that we are 
 willing to leave affair in controversy between the Rev. Mr, 
 Ashley and the Town respecting the term of his desisting 
 from the exercise of his Ministerial office among us to Capt. 
 Elijah Hunt of Northampton the Hon John Hastings of 
 Hatfield & Mr. Josiah D wight of Williamsburg agreeable to 
 the advice of the late Council held in this town." 
 
 A committee was chosen " to provide suitable accommo- 
 dations for the arbitrators," another Committee " to carry on 
 said arbitration in behalf of the Town." "The daye named 
 as the I'', day of December next," "a Committee appointed 
 to notify Mr. Ashley of the above votes & to signify his Con- 
 sent thereto,'' to which arrangement " Mr. Ashley assented.'' 
 
 The result was, " That Mr. Ashley should desist, the town 
 to pay him one yearly Salary in advance and his fire wood 
 during his natural life." 
 
 The town " voted that we direct the assessors to assess the 
 Town in a sum sufficient to pay Mr. Ashley the sum he re- 
 covered of the Town at the last August Court." 
 
 They also " voted to pay him his salary for the present 
 year agreeable to the determination of the late arbitration," 
 and thus was terminated a " controversy " between pastor 
 and people which had existed for about 20 years. 
 
 Although he desisted from the exercise of his ministerial 
 office, yet he held his office as pastor emeritus while he 
 lived. 
 
 He died in 1797, in the 88th year of his age. He was 
 buried in the village cemetery and upon his monument is 
 seen the following inscription, viz : 
 
72 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 "Sound in judgment, meek in spirit, exemplary in life, a friend 
 of peace; a steady believer in the doctrines of grace, respected by 
 his people and esteemed by his brethren in the ministry." 
 
 " They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; 
 and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and 
 ever." 
 
 From this time for several years the people were " candi- 
 dating." At the anntial town meeting' held March 1785, 
 " Jedidiah Clark, Dea". Field and Capt Leonard were chosen 
 a Committee to hire preaching for the ensuing year " with 
 instructions to " hire a young candidate who they think there 
 is prospect of settling." 
 
 Several persons were thus hired, some of whom were 
 asked " to preach a little longer on probation." 
 
 In March, 1791, the town gave Rev. Mr. Minor a call to be 
 settled as minister, but the call was not accepted. 
 
 In June, 1792, the town voted to concur with the church in 
 giving Mr. Asa Lyon a call to settle in the ministry and 
 offered " to give him for his encouragement & support, pro- 
 vided he settles with us in the work of the ministry 200 
 pounds as a settlement and eighty pounds a year as Salary 
 during the Rev. Mr. Ashleys natural life and from the time 
 of his decease ninety pounds so long as he is our minister." 
 The offer was accepted by Mr. Lyon and he was ordained 
 October 24, 1792. 
 
 The town afterwards gave Mr. Lyon a homestead and 
 other tracts of land, Mr. Lyon was dismissed from his pas- 
 torate the following September. 
 
 There was a little scandal connected with his ministry, and 
 an ecclesiastical Council was called which dismissed him — 
 with reproof. The town having already given him some real 
 estate as a part of his " settlement," they had trouble in recov- 
 ering it again. Many years after he is recorded " as a re- 
 markable man in some respects," having been pastor of the 
 church in South Hero, Vt., where he died in 1841. 
 
 June 21, 1804, it is recorded that the church invited the 
 Rev. David Howe Williston " to settle with us in the Gospel 
 ministry 20 members present and all voted in the affirmative." 
 " Voted that we make choice of Eleazer Warner, Nath. Smith 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 73 
 
 'John Montert ' (Montague) as a committee to inform Mr. 
 Williston of the above vote and receive his answer," He 
 was installed July i8, 1804, and dismissed July 17th, 1806. 
 
 The sixth minister was Rev. James Taylor from West- 
 field, was invited by a vote of the church; Dea. Smith, Giles 
 Hubbard and John Montague, chosen Committee. Was or- 
 dained July 22, 1807, and he died October, 1831. He lived on 
 the place now owned by Mrs. Sarah Howlett, and he also 
 owned a good quantity of out-land. He was a practical 
 farmer, a good preacher and pastor, and universally loved by 
 his people. His widow survived him but a few days, and 
 his large family was scattered to distant parts of the country. 
 
 Henry B. Holmes was installed January 31, 1833. He was 
 an energetic worker and preacher. Was dismissed at his 
 own request October 27, 1835, and went to Springfield, Vt. 
 He has recently died, and of the two little boys born when 
 he was here, one is now superintendent of the street rail- 
 roads in the city of Chicago, and also the leader and in- 
 structor of a mission Sabbath school of about 2,000, in that 
 city. 
 
 The eighth minister was Solomon B. Ingram, from North 
 Amherst, Mass., a graduate of Amherst college. Was or- 
 dained December 28, 1836, and died June 2, 1840. He was a 
 logical preacher and much esteemed. The following record 
 is m_ade of him by the clerk of the church : " We have to re- 
 cord the afflictive dispensation of Divine Providence in the 
 removal of Rev. Solomon B. Ingram by death, he having en- 
 deared himself to this church and people by his faithfulness 
 and the deep interest he took in their spiritual and eternal 
 welfare." 
 
 The Rev. Austin Cary, from Bridgewater, was ordained 
 November 11, 1840, and died Nov. 27th, 1849, aged 40 years. 
 This is the clerk's record of him : 
 
 "It becomes our duty to record the death of another faithful and 
 devoted pastor, Rev. Austin Cary departed this life Nov. 27, 1849, 
 having just completed the ninth year of his ministry. Thus has he 
 fallen at his post in the prime of life and in the midst of his useful- 
 ness. About eighty individuals have united with the church by pro- 
 fession during his ministry." 
 
 Rev. Henry B. Hosford, a former tutor in Williams col- 
 
74 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 lege, was ordained over this church May 28th, 1850, and dis- 
 missed March 2, 1853 ; cause, ill health. He resided for sev- 
 eral years in Hudson, Ohio, and is now living in feeble health 
 in the state of Nebraska. 
 
 Rev. Sereno D. Clark was installed May 31, 1853, and dis- 
 missed May 31, 1864. The council called to consider and to 
 act upon the relations existing between Rev. Mr. Clark and 
 this church and people, say : " We deeply deplore the neces- 
 sity of parting with Mr. Clark, who is a brother beloved, and 
 assure him and his family of our warm Christian sympathy, 
 and we cordially commend him to the Christian churches as 
 an able, faithful and laborious minister of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ." Mr. Clark wrote several books which were pub- 
 lished, among which was an essay upon " Christian Benefi- 
 cence," " The Co-worker and His Reward," " Life of John 
 Woodbridge, D. D.," and the sermon to the memory of Dea. 
 Ouartus Smith. Mr. Clark died in Somerville, October 
 4th, 1887, and in a few days, Martha, his wife, followed him. 
 
 The twelfth minister was Rev. David Peck, who was in- 
 stalled December, 18, 1867, and died January 31, 1874, aged 
 50 years. Another faithful and beloved pastor. 
 
 Rev. William F. Arms, one of whose progenitors was 
 among the original settlers in town, was installed December 
 I St, 1875, ^11 <i '^^'^s dismissed March i, 1888, at his own re- 
 quest. He now lives in Essex, Conn. 
 
 Edward Page Butler, the fourteenth and present pastor of 
 the church, was born in Clintonville, New York, February 
 14th, 1848. He prepared for college at the Essex Classical 
 institute, and was graduated from the University of Vermont 
 in 1870, and from Hartford Theological seminary in 1873. 
 He was ordained and installed pastor of the Congregational 
 church in Lyme, New Hampshire, October 20, 1874, having 
 begun his ministry there in the preceding June. He was 
 dismissed in 1889, and installed pastor of this church in June 
 of the .same year. He married September 25th, 1876, Miss 
 Lucretia Churchill Nelson of Elyria, Ohio. 
 
 First Congregational Parish. 
 
 In order to fully understand the necessity for the organiz- 
 ation of the " First Congregational Parish of Sunderland " it

 will be best to review briefly the conditions of the religious 
 organizations existing previously. On November 12th, 1716, 
 only seven or eight months after the allotments of lands 
 were made to the proprietors of Sunderland, then called 
 " Swampfield," at a meeting of the proprietors held that day, 
 they chose a committee to go into the extreme eastern part 
 of the State (Cambridge) in search of a minister, and with 
 instructions " to bring him up with them." 
 
 At the same meeting it was voted to build a meeting house, 
 the size of which was at that time determined, and a Com- 
 mittee chosen to build the house, which they did the follow- 
 ing year (17 1 7). A parsonage was also built in 1717, which 
 is yet standing (1898.) We will by imagination place our- 
 selves among these God fearing men and women, a single 
 handful in number so to speak, probably less than thirty-five 
 male adults. Not men of wealth, by any means, but the 
 contrary, having come with their families from the settle- 
 ments below (mostly from Hadley and Hatfield) to make for 
 themselves and their children a home. For a moment com- 
 pare their surroundings, their efforts and their self denials 
 with ours to-day ; a journey to Cambridge, almost the entire 
 length of the State, with no public conveyance and no road, 
 only a path, was no light undertaking. The journey could 
 not be made in three or four hours time, as now. If they 
 succeeded in obtaining a minister he must be supported in 
 his work while with them. From what source did they de- 
 rive their income in order to pay their minister? They were 
 all farmers, every one of them. We should be at loss for an 
 answer if the town records did not inform us that they paid 
 their minister with farm products at a price fixed by a stand- 
 ard of prices made each year. There was but very little 
 money in use in those days. But some money would be re- 
 quired in order to purcha.se articles not at hand and perhaps 
 not at that time manufactured in this country. The record 
 alludes to " Nayles and Glass," both of which were brought 
 from England — as well as bricks — and tools of every kind. 
 
 In the settlement of the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, 
 every inhabitant was required to contribute to all charges 
 both in church and Commonwealth, as the act says : " Whereof 
 he doeth or may receive benefit." Whoever then by resi- 
 dence or birth became an inhabitant of the town was liable 
 
76 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 as such to be taxed for the support of public worship of that 
 town, which was just as obligatory as the support of high- 
 ways. 
 
 In the course of the years following, this enactment was 
 modified at different times, exceptions and alterations were 
 made so that persons living in a certain town could be ex- 
 empted from taxes in that town for the support of the min- 
 istry and schools, but they must help support the ministry 
 and schools in some other town, as the following taken from 
 the town records indicates, viz : " Under date of ]\Iarch 2'"*, 
 1 761, Voted that we are willing to admit Thomas French 
 John Hooker Nath'. Parker, Joseph Sanderson, Nath' Saw- 
 tell, Philip Smith, and Louis Parkers Widow, to join with us 
 in the charges and privileges of the town if the General 
 Court can be pleased to Dismiss them from their respective 
 towns." The above copy of the town record does not show 
 from what towns they would come " to join with us," but the 
 following does, found in Sheldon's History of Deerfield, Vol. 
 I, page 583, viz: "Nov. 29"", 1758. Thomas French peti- 
 tioned the General Court that his property may be exempted 
 from taxes for ministerial purposes in Deerfield as he lives 
 within one mile of Sunderland and goes to meeting there." 
 He is ordered to notify the town of Deerfield of a hearing on 
 the matter on a certain day named. Nothing more is heard 
 of the matter; but in 1761 others join him in a similar peti- 
 tion, as follows, viz : Thomas French, John Hooker and Eli- 
 jah Billing of Deerfield, Joseph Sanderson, Nathaniel Saw- 
 tell and Philip Smith of Hatfield' who represent that they 
 live within one mile of Sunderland meeting house, that 
 they attend meeting there and send their children to school at 
 Sunderland and ask that they may be taxed to support pub- 
 lic worship and schools in Sunderland and be exempted from 
 taxation elsewhere. The petitioners were ordered by the 
 General Court to .serve a copy of the petition on the towns of 
 Deerfield and Hatfield and give notice of a hearing on it on 
 the second Tuesday of the sitting of the session of the Gen- 
 eral Court. There is no knowledge of the result of this peti- 
 tion. It is alluded to here to show that all persons were 
 
 'Hatfield at that time included what is now the town of Whately, which was 
 set off from Hatfield in 1771. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 77 
 
 obliged by law as has already been stated to help support re- 
 ligious worship by the taxation of their " heads and estates." 
 At the first session of the Provincial Legislature in 1662, 
 statutes were enacted for the better preservation and keep- 
 ing of the " Lord's Day" and for the support and settlement 
 of a minister in every town. These ministers were selected 
 by the church and the decision being made by the town or 
 by a Council, if they could not agree. In case of neglect the 
 court had power to compel the settlement and support of a 
 minister, and if there was no church gathered he should be 
 selected by the town with the advice of three neighboring 
 ministers. This compulsory stipend was bestowed only upon 
 able and orthodox ministers, and assessments for the sup- 
 port of illiterate and ignorant persons strictly forbidden. 
 The pastor must have been educated in some university, col- 
 lege or public academy for instruction in the learned lan- 
 guages, arts and sciences ; or have received a degree from 
 such an institution ; or a testimonial under the hands of the 
 majority of the settled ministers of the county ; that he was 
 of sufficient learning to qualify him for the work of the min- 
 istry. During the early period in the history of the Massa- 
 chusetts Bay colonies, who were mostly descendants of the 
 Pilgrims and Puritans, only one religious organization was 
 acknowledged or recognized and that the Orthodox. But as 
 time passed on, other sects and other beliefs in religious doc- 
 trine sprang up and claimed support. 
 
 In 1770 an act was passed "to exempt the people called 
 Quakers and antipedo baptists from paying taxes for the sup- 
 port of ministers settled by the laws of this province, and for 
 building and repairing meeting houses, or places of public 
 worship where such ministers officiate." 
 
 The following found in the Sunderland Town Records in- 
 dicates that some action was desired in Sunderland in regard 
 to the seceders from the recognized Orthodox belief. 
 
 Under date of December 2nd. 1771, is found the following : 
 
 "Voted Mr. William Billing Mr. John Clary and Simon Cooley 
 be a Committee to consider of the affair between us and the anti- 
 pedo baptists and if they think best to make out a petition to the 
 General Cort. " 
 
 The Baptist society at North Sunderland was organized 
 
78 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 early in the year 1822. This was an off-shoot from the Bap- 
 tist Society of North Leverett, called the " Baptist Society of 
 Leverett and Montague," which was organized at a much 
 earlier date. A number of Sunderland people belonged to 
 this Baptist Society at North Leverett and attended worship 
 there, but who afterwards removed their connection to the 
 North vSunderland Baptist Society. Of course such persons 
 wished to be relieved from paying taxes in both places, in 
 consequence of which the following vote was taken at a town 
 meeting held in March, 1793: 
 
 "Voted that we will give in to Jon"' Ballard the Meeting House 
 and Ministerial taxes which are now against hini and direct the as- 
 sessors to leave him out of such taxes so long as he attends and 
 pays in the Baptist Society." 
 
 This was at a time when the town was building its second 
 meeting house, and was selling common land to pay for the 
 meeting house. Therefore in April of the saine year (1793), 
 the following vote was passed : 
 
 "That we will allow to all those who were professed baptists at 
 
 the time the Common land was appropriated to build the Meeting 
 
 House their proportion of the product of said land thus appro- 
 priated." 
 
 Previous to the organization of the Sunderland Parish, in- 
 dividuals who attended meeting at some other place of wor- 
 ship could, by filing a certificate with the Town Clerk, pro- 
 cure the payment of their tax to the support of the ministry 
 where they attended meeting. 
 
 The following certificate on file in the Town Clerk's office, 
 Sunderland, will serve as an illustration : 
 
 "We the subscribers Elijah Montague Public Teacher of a Society 
 of the religious Sect called Baptists in the towns of Leverett & 
 Montague and Samuel Willis Joseph Rice Committee of said Society, 
 do hereby certify that Elijah Hubbard Doth belong to said Society 
 and that he frequently and usually when able attends with us in our 
 stated meetings for religious worship."

 Other certificates may be found recorded of similar import. 
 December 7, 1791, the town " voted that we give in to John 
 and William Morse their proportion of the last tax which 
 was granted to hire preaching." 
 
 This matter of the attendance of some of the village resi- 
 dents at another place of worship than the Sunderland church 
 and the complications following the measures taken to make 
 a just taxation, was obviously the great reason for the forma- 
 tion of a parish separate from the town in Sunderland. By 
 an enactment of 1824 a mode of changing membership of 
 one religious organization to another was provided and the 
 taxation of a citizen who belonged to any religious society 
 by any other society was forbidden, but compulsory contribu- 
 tion by taxation for the expense of public worship remained. 
 
 The formation of a Baptist Society at North Leverett, and 
 later at North Sunderland, complicated matters in town so 
 far as they related to the support of the ministry and seemed 
 to make the organization of the parish necessary. This is 
 apparent in the action of a meeting held in November, 1827, 
 when the town " voted, That the assessors assess the Polls 
 and estates of the members of the First Congregational So- 
 ciety in this town in a sum sufficient to pay Rev. Mr. Tay- 
 lors salary up to the first of May next and procure his wood." 
 For several years after this the Parish taxes were laid by 
 using the town's valuation list of the members of the Society. 
 In 1834 an amendment to the constitution severed the con- 
 nection between the church and State, and parishes became 
 necessary and were provided for by statute. The organiza- 
 tion of other denominations made this necessary. By the 
 enactment of that year all the towns were freed from obli- 
 gation to support religious teaching and worship ; every one 
 was left free to withdraw from his parish without joining 
 another and no one could be compelled to help support public 
 worship. 
 
 At the annual town meeting held in March, 1831, it was 
 " Voted that it is the wish of this meeting that the Rev. Mr. 
 Taylors Society take immediate measures to form themselves 
 into a parish separate from the town." 
 
 This was during the pastorate of Rev. James Taylor, who 
 died the following October. In accordance with that vote 
 Jonathan Hartwell, Esq., of Montague, in response to a peti- 
 
80 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 tion presented by certain members of Mr. Taylor's society 
 on the 2oth of October following, issued in due form of law 
 to one of the legal voters of said society (Dea. Elihu Rowe) 
 a warrant for calling a meeting of said Society to be held 
 November 4th following, for the purpose of organizing a Par- 
 ish, at which meeting Gardner Dorrance was chosen moder- 
 ator : Ashley Graves, clerk ; Austin Smith, treasurer ; Wil- 
 liam Delano, Horatio Graves and Moses Montague, assessors ; 
 Increase C. Graves, collector, and Quartus Smith, Elihu 
 Rowe, Moses Montague and Martin Hubbard, prudential 
 committee. 
 
 At the first annual meeting of the First Congregational 
 Parish of vSunderland, held the first Monday of April, 1832, 
 the following proposition was read to the meeting, viz : 
 
 " Nathaniel Smith, Esq., proposes to give the sum of $3,000 
 to establish a permanent fund for the support of orthodox 
 preaching on condition that the Society add $1,500 for the 
 same purpose." The Parish voted " to gratefully accept the 
 generous offer with the condition, and that we will endeavor 
 to secure that which is required to secure the donation." 
 
 The Parish also voted " that the salary of Rev. James Tay- 
 lor be paid to his family the present year." (Mr. Taylor hav- 
 ing deceased previous to that meeting.) 
 
 This " permanent fund " is alluded to here for two pur- 
 poses : First to say that notwithstanding these good people 
 seemed to think otherwise, yet it is debatable whether such 
 a fund is of any real advantage to a religious society, upon 
 the principle that that which costs nothing, is nothing valued. 
 
 Second to refer to the Rock as expressed in the conditions 
 which were complied with in order to receive the benefit of 
 this fund, which conditions were as follows, viz : 
 
 "Article ist. The hicome of the fund hereby created shall be 
 annually applied, or oftener by the Assessors or Prudential Commit- 
 tee of said Parish towards the support of a regular minister thereof 
 holding the following doctrine of the Holy Scriptures, to wit: 'I'hat 
 there is one true God in three persons, the Father, Son and Holy 
 Ghost, equal in power and glory. That man is by nature personally 
 depraved and destitute of holiness, that the Son of God has made 
 an atonement for sin, that in order to the partaking thereof a per- 
 son must be renewed in the Spirit of his mind by the Holy Ghost 
 and must exercise repentance towards God and faith in the Lord 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 81 
 
 Jesus Christ, that the righteousness of Christ is the only ground of 
 justification which is received through faith the Gift of God, that 
 Regeneration and Sanctification are the effects of the agency of the 
 Holy Ghost, that without personal holiness no man shall see the 
 Lord and that the rewards and punishments of the future state, will 
 be eternal. And no Minister of said First Parish who shall refuse 
 to admit the said doctrines, as doctrines of the Holy Scriptures shall 
 not be entitled to receive any part of said income under any circum- 
 stances whatever." 
 
 Article 2nd is omitted as not pertinent. 
 
 "Article 3rd. In order that the doctrinal sentiments of the min- 
 ister of said First Parish may at any period be ascertained, the As- 
 sessors or Prudential Committee thereof, whenever desired in writ- 
 ing by any individual parishoner to ascertain the same shall request 
 such minister to express in writing his assent to the fundamental 
 doctrines aforesaid, and upon his neglecting to do so they shall 
 refuse so long as he continues in such neglect to apply any part of 
 said fund to his support." ' 
 
 The transactions of the Parish since the date of its organ- 
 ization have been for the most part commonplace and only 
 a small part of them nfeed be alluded to. But it is pleasing 
 to be able to say that although there has been at different 
 times difference of opinion among its members in regard to 
 some internal matters, yet all controversies have been amica- 
 bly settled without division and with a Christian spirit. 
 
 In the earlier years of the existence of the Parish new 
 members were admitted only by a vote of the Society. 
 
 At a meeting held in Deceinber, 1835, an amendment to 
 the by-laws was adopted, viz : " Any individual wishing to 
 unite with the first Congregational Society in Sunderland 
 shall file notice in writing of his desire so to do, with the 
 Prudential Committee of said Society, and the aforesaid Com- 
 mittee shall insert an article in the next Parish Warrant of 
 the person or persons so wishing to unite, to be acted upon 
 by the Parish." Accordingly in the next warrant was the 
 following article, viz : 
 
 "To see if they would admit Enoch Chapin, Ira Beaman, 
 
 'The stringency of these doctrinal tests may be in part explained by the 
 "Unitarian controversy " of this period and its unfortunate results in the 
 neighboring town of Deerfield. 
 
82 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Gustavus D. Peck, Elihu Clark and Henry Church as mem- 
 bers of the Parish. These persons were admitted, being 
 voted upon separately. At a meeting held in April, 1837. it 
 was " Voted to reconsider the former vote as to admitting 
 individuals as members of the Society and leave it with the 
 Prudential Committee to admit such as they think best." In 
 the existence of the Parish when an individual desired to 
 sever his connection with the Parish he must do so by filing his 
 certificate in writing with the Parish clerk. Such action was 
 called "signing off" and was considered rather odious, es- 
 pecially if there was a suspicion that the individual did so to 
 evade his proportion of the parish expenses. It is related 
 that one wealthy man "signed off" and joined the Baptists 
 at North Sunderland. The suspicion arose that he did not 
 do so because he was a Baptist, but to evade his taxes, and 
 there was a scene at the meeting house the following Sab- 
 bath. When he attempted to open his pew door he found it 
 nailed up. He jumped over into the pew and kicked the door 
 open. The succeeding Sunday he found the seats, which 
 were fastened with hinges, taken off. He got a chair for his 
 wife, while he took a seat on the hat box. This was in the 
 old meeting house, built by the town in 1793, in which the 
 seats were hung on hinges, to be turned up while the people 
 stood through the long prayer, as was the custom. These 
 seats went down with a clatter when the prayer ended. 
 
 In December, 1835, a Committee was chosen by the Parish 
 to take into consideration the repairing of the meeting 
 house. This was the old one, built in 1793. The result was 
 the building of the present house the following year. 
 
 The Committee chosen by the Parish to superintend the 
 work of building were Enoch Chapin, William Delano, Elihu 
 Rowe, Phineas Graves and Horace Henderson, of which 
 Committee Enoch Chapin was chairman. The house was 
 built upon the site of the former one, the house being paid 
 for by the sale of slips, titles being given to the purchasers 
 by Warrantee Deeds. When the house was overhauled in 
 1 87 1 (the house itself being all taken down above the under- 
 pinning, excepting the four bare walls) the owners in almost 
 all cases freely gave up their titles of ownership to the Par- 
 ish, which continued to own them until the recent change of 
 ownership. The funds needed for repairs at that time were

 obtained by subscription and amounted to over $6,000, be- 
 sides the cost of the organ which was presented by A. J. 
 Johnson, Esq., of New York. The Graves brothers of New 
 York also presented the new slips and John L. Graves of 
 Boston the work of frescoing-. The Graves men were all 
 natives of the town, relatives of each other. 
 
 Parish. 
 
 The present chapel of the Society was built in 1849, cost- 
 ing about $800. The house which preceded it is well re- 
 membered by some of our older people. It stood between 
 the houses of Mr. S. S. Warner and Miss Jane Montague, and 
 was called " the Town House." It was used by the town for 
 all town meetings, lyceums, lectures and schools. One of 
 the teachers who kept the school, then called a " High 
 School " and graded by age, was a townsman, Jedediah Clark. 
 The building was also used by the Parish for all Parish pur- 
 poses, and conference meetings of the church, for which 
 purpose it was illy adapted, it being too large and cold, hav- 
 ing high backed seats or slips. 
 
 It was originally built by subscription, Nathaniel Smith, 
 Esq., being the largest contributor. In a warrant for calling 
 a town meeting to be held April 7th, 1828, is found in this 
 clause, viz : "at the South Meeting House," which shows that 
 there was then a meeting house at North Sunderland, (The 
 Baptist). 
 
 During the time anteceding this date, town meetings 
 v;ere held usually in the meeting house, but occasionally at 
 the school house. In the record of the meeting held in pur- 
 suance of the call just quoted, the 3rd vote passed was " That 
 this meeting be adjourned to meet at the Towft House to 
 assemble there immediately, and the meeting was so ad- 
 journed, and heard a prayer from Rev. Mr. Taylor." Not- 
 withstanding the building was called " the Town House " yet 
 there is evidence to show that when the building was sold 
 and removed, the Parish received pay for the building and 
 for the land on which it stood. At a town meeting held two 
 years before the chapel was built, a town officer stated pub- 
 licly " that the town was entirely without a place for 
 holding their meetings. Just how it came into the posses- 
 
84 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 sion of the Parish is not material. It must be remembered 
 that at the time the " Town House " was built the town pro- 
 vided all the expense for religious worship. 
 
 At a meeting of the Parish held in 1836, after the building 
 of the meeting house, they voted that $450 be borrowed 
 from "the permanent fund" to defray the expense of build- 
 ing a basement under the meeting house, purchase stoves, 
 pipe and carpets for the meeting house. In 1842 the pres- 
 ent parsonage was built, and the record says, " Voted that a 
 sum not exceeding $1600 of the "permanent fund be used 
 for that purpose." It appears from the minutes of the So- 
 ciety that before the expiration of one year from the creation 
 of the "permanent fund," the parish committed an act of 
 doubtful propriety, not to say of doubtful expediency, when 
 they sprang a leak upon the " permanent fund " by voting 
 to appropriate $610 of the fund for the purchase of a parson- 
 age. It was hardly less a step taken in the wrong direction 
 when they voted " that the aforesaid sum be invested by the 
 Committee in a Parsonage to be rented to the minister." 
 The parsonage was owned by the parish for less than two 
 years, but whether the sum was ever returned to the " per- 
 manent fund" does not appear. The parsonage bought at 
 that time was the house now owned by Mr. George M. Hub- 
 bard, just south of the meeting house. It was occupied by 
 Rev Mr. Holmes, but by no other minister. The Rev. S. B. 
 Ingram, who succeeded Mr. Holmes in the ministry, lived 
 on the place now owned by Mrs. Howlett, which was pre- 
 viously owned and occupied by Rev. James Taylor and by 
 his family during the pastorate of Mr. Holmes, and the first 
 part of that of Mr. Ingram. For a good many years before 
 the formation of the Parish and until the organization of a 
 religious .society in South Deerfield in 1818, the people of 
 South Deerfield to a considerable extent were members of 
 the Sunderland church and Parish, coming here to attend 
 meeting and contributed to the support of the gospel here. 
 
 The action of a town meeting held in 1793, at the time the 
 meeting house was being built, had reference to residents 
 of South Deerfield when it was " Voted that we are willmg 
 to receive donations in timber and labor towards building a 
 meeting house from persons who are not inhabitants of the 
 town." This is further shown by the two following votes 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 85 
 
 passed at a later meeting, viz : " That we are willing to sell 
 pews in the new meeting house to persons who are not in- 
 habitants of the town " and "That we are willing that all 
 persons who are not inhabitants of this town who may choose 
 to purchase Pews in the new meeting house to stand an equal 
 chance with us in purchasing." In 1887 by an Act of the 
 Legislature the incorporation of churches was provided for 
 in a similar manner as other organizations may become in- 
 corporated. Previous to that time in order to secure incor- 
 poration it was necessary to apply to the Legislature for a spe- 
 cial act, which was attended with much labor and expense. 
 
 Taking advantage of this general enactment the Sunder- 
 land church in November, 1897, took the necessary steps for 
 the dissolution of the parish and the incorporation of the 
 church, which was accomplished. The question of taking 
 this action on the part of the church had been under consid- 
 eration for several years. The arguments presented in favor 
 of the measure were to prevent any possibility of collusion 
 between the two organizations, the parish and the church. 
 Those who objected to the measure were those who said 
 " Let well enough alone." 
 
 For the last fifteen years every member of the Parish but 
 two were members of the church also. For the last two 
 years every member of the Parish but one was a member of 
 the church also, and in both of these cases the individuals 
 were in full sympathy with the church. By the action taken, 
 the First Congregational church of Sunderland has come 
 into possession of all the assets of the First Congregational 
 parish of Sunderland, which as an organization has ceased to 
 exist. At the same time the church has assumed control of 
 all matters which belonged to the Parish with its duties and 
 responsibilities. 
 
 Baptist Society at North Sunderland. 
 
 Previous to December 24th, 1821, the inhabitants of North 
 Sunderland had no church organization or place of worship 
 in this town. They had previously attended services at 
 North Leverett and were members of the church at that 
 place, which was called the " Baptist Church of North Lever- 
 ett and Montague." 
 
86 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 At the above mentioned date a meeting was called at the 
 house of Jesse Whitmore of Sunderland, for the purpose of 
 organizing a church, at which meeting " Silas Hosmer was 
 chosen to govern the meeting, and John Harris Clerk." 
 
 "Voted to request dismission from the Baptist Church of Lever- 
 ett and Montague for the purpose of forming a church at this place." 
 
 "Voted that if dismissed the church when constituted shall be 
 called the Baptist Church of Christ, of Sunderland and Montague." 
 
 "Voted, that a request be made to the Leverett and Montague 
 church to be dismissed from them." 
 
 The request was written and accepted by the meeting. 
 
 "Voted and chose Deacon Silas Hosmer, Dea Samuel Puffer, and 
 B"" John Harris to present said petition to said Church." 
 
 At a subsequent meeting held by adjournment the 28th of 
 the same month, the above Committee presented the report 
 of the action upon the petition for dismission, which was 
 granted. 
 
 "Voted, To request the Church in Shutesbury and the Church in 
 Leverett to send their Elders and Delegates to sit in Council the 
 8th day of January following, at the house of Jesse Whitmore in 
 Sunderland to organize a Church in this place, at which Meeting, a 
 set of Articles of faith, and a Church covenant were adopted." 
 
 The church having thus been organized in January, 1822, 
 it was then voted to build a Meeting House, which was 
 erected the ensuing season of 1822. 
 
TOWN HALL. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 Town Meetings were at first almost invariably held in the 
 meeting- house, although occasionally in the school house, 
 which, being centrally located, was quite as convenient, and 
 as in the early years there were no conveniences for warm- 
 ing the meeting house, the school house could be made fully 
 as comfortable. 
 
 It seems that early in the 19th century (between 1820 and 
 1830) a hall had been built by individuals, which the town 
 and parish had both used for all their common purposes, 
 lectures, lyceums and conference meetings, but of which the 
 parish had the full control. 
 
 In the meantime and in the years following, the matter of 
 building a town hall had been frequently discussed in town 
 meetings, but with no definite result, until it was proposed 
 by the Parish to dispose of the building and ground and pro- 
 vide another place for Parish purposes. The Parish proposed 
 in 1836 to provide a place in the basement story of the 
 church, suitable for the uses of both town and Parish. This 
 was opposed by those who did not wish to occupy a room 
 which would be wholly under the control of the Parish. 
 
 In the meantime certain individuals, with William W. Rus- 
 sell at the head, purchased the old hall and moved it to where it 
 now stands, north of the Hotel, as the dwelling house of Miss 
 Sarah Barrows. It was in the first place fitted up as a hall 
 and the plan was to induce the town to buy it, but there was 
 so much opposition to the measure that it did not succeed. 
 
 It was finally remodeled into a dwelling house and has 
 been so used ever since. This was in 1849, ^^^ ^^ this period 
 
88 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 the town was wholly destitute of a town hall. While the 
 subject of building a town hall was being considered, the 
 proposition was made to put up a building suitable for a 
 high school room and a town hall under the same roof. 
 Several committees were chosen, all of which considered the 
 matter and submitted their reports to the town, but none 
 of these reports was accepted. At a town meeting held 
 December 19, 1849, ^^^ following vote was passed, viz : 
 
 " Voted to build a town house." At the same meeting a 
 committee was chosen to " locate said Town House, procure 
 a site and a title to the land by Deed, viz : Ebenezer Wiley, 
 Horace Lyman, Timothy Graves Erastus Pomeroy, Charles 
 Whitmore and Stephen Gunn." At the same meeting, 
 " Voted, To choose a Committee of one from each school dis- 
 trict to build or cause to be built a Town House sufficiently 
 large to accommodate the town with Committee rooms and 
 Wood house therein to be completed by the first of Nov. 
 next at an expense not exceeding Fifteen Hundred Dollars, 
 including the site or land on which the same shall be located, 
 and the necessary furniture." The resolution adopted does 
 not define the location, but the building erected was on the 
 lot of Horatio Graves directly opposite the present town hall 
 and school. 
 
 This edifice continued to be used for all town purposes till 
 the erection of the present town hall and school building in 
 1867, when it was sold to C. B. Tilton of South Deerfield, who 
 took it down. 
 
 During the residence in town of Mr. Alvin J. Johnson of 
 New York, a movement was started to build the present 
 town hall and school building, which, with the strong back- 
 ing and push of Mr. Johnson, was brought to a successful 
 termination in 1867. 
 
 Messrs. A. J. Johnson, Myron A. Hunt and John M. vSinilh 
 were chosen a building committee, who contracted with 
 Messrs. Allen Cooley and George R. Smith of South Deer- 
 field for the erection of the present building at a cost of nearly 
 $20,000. The dedication was made with appropriate services, 
 including an historical address by John M. Smith. 
 
SCHOOLS. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 While the support of schools was imperatively required in 
 Massachusetts from an early period, absolutely free schools 
 were rare for more than a hundred years, and the contribu- 
 tions of board and fuel by the pupils may yet linger as relics 
 of the past in a few localities. Oppressed with the labors and 
 expenses incident to a new settlement, the early settlers of 
 Sunderland were not liberal in their aid to schools. 
 
 The first mention of schools in Sunderland is under date 
 of December 7, 17 19, when it was : 
 
 "Voted that we will hier a schoolmaster if we can hier one ui 
 town for this winter till the last of March insuing the Date hereof 
 upon the following conditions, viz: Wrighters to pay four pence a 
 week & Reeders thre pence a week & the Rest to be paid by the 
 town." 
 
 Dea. Gunn, who made this record, was a good man, and a 
 good man of business, apparently, but he was not skilled in 
 orthography according to modern practice. 
 
 It is impossible to determine from the record whether any 
 school was kept before the winter of 172 1-2, but in Decem- 
 ber, 1722, Joseph Root was paid £2 I'j^ for teaching school, 
 which must have been during the previous winter. He 
 taught also the two following winters and was apparently 
 the first schoolmaster of the town. 
 
 On November 6, 1724, the town voted that they were " will- 
 ing to hire a schoolmaster for three or four months this win- 
 ter if one can be got upon reasonable terms " and that " boys 
 from six to twelve years old shall pay to said school-master 
 
90 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 whether they gow to school or not four pence a week for 
 wrighters & three pence a week for Readers." 
 
 "November 13, 1727. Voted to raise £4 'toward helping 
 to pay a schoolmaster for three months ' and a Committee is 
 appointed to hire one, and ' see if they can git a house to 
 keep school in.' " 
 
 Jonathan Field taught the school for several winters follow- 
 ing, but was paid in part by the pupils as before. 
 
 December 6, 1731. "Voted that we will build a school 
 house the next Summer said house to be one story in heith 
 and twenty foot square." 
 
 " Voted that we will set said school house as near as is con- 
 venient to the middle of the street near about the south side 
 of Capt. Scott's home lot." 
 
 It will be seen by the plan that Richard and William Scott 
 lived nearly opposite each other, but we cannot say which 
 one is intended by the title " Capt. Scott." The school house 
 was removed in 1753 or 1754 " to a little south of the high- 
 way that comes into the street by Daniel Montague's" 
 (Bridge Street). 
 
 It is probable that a winter school was kept up quite regu- 
 larly after the erection of the school house. Benjamin Dick- 
 inson, Daniel Montague, Joseph Field and Richard Monta- 
 gue were among the teachers. In 1736 it was voted " to hire 
 a Grammar School Master three months " and November 2, 
 1737, a committee is appointed to hire a schoolmaster 5 
 months " as cheap as they can, and as speedy as they can." 
 
 In 1738, 1746 and 1747, provision is made for a school at 
 Hunting Hills, and in the spring of 1749 voted, "to hire a 
 school dame next summer," the earliest notice of a summer 
 school. This vote is repeated in 1752, with a like provision 
 for Hunting Hills. 
 
 For quite a number of years following the first settlement 
 there was but one school in the town, and that located at the 
 center. The original school house was built in the year 
 1732 and continued in use down until the 26th day of Decem- 
 ber, 1762, when it was burned "about four of y^ clock Sab- 
 bath Day morning." This school house was located nearly 
 in front of where Mrs. Howlett's house now stands. The 
 first house having thus been destroyed by fire, the town's 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 91 
 
 people lost no time in moving to replace it, and a meeting for 
 that purpose was held on the 6th of January, 1763. It was then 
 determined to build a school house twenty feet square, " a 
 common frame house," and a Committee was chosen to super- 
 vise the building. In order that there might be no inter- 
 ruption to the school, provision was made at the same meet- 
 ing to rent for three months the north room of Asahel 
 Birge's house, and the rent stipulated to be paid for such use 
 was twenty shillings. The Committee, which was charged 
 with supervisory power, seems to have exercised but limited 
 authority, for at a town meeting held on the 7th of March, 1 763, 
 the town passed a formal vote to determine the location of 
 the new school house in these words : 
 
 "Voted, that we will set y'' school house in y'^ town street north 
 of y* Meeting House on a certain heap of earth carried there com- 
 monly known by y'^ name of y'' Monument." 
 
 As this action directed the school house to be built a little 
 north of the meeting house, and as that then stood in the 
 street nearly in front of the present chapel, this second school 
 house and " heap of earth carried there " must have been 
 located in the middle of the street a little south of the cross- 
 walk now leading from the hotel to the postoffice. For 
 what purpose the heap of earth had been carried there and 
 given the name of the " Monument " or " Mount " is not en- 
 tirely clear. In some of the frontier towns stockades were 
 built to serve as forts and for places of refuge for the town's 
 people in the case of an Indian attack, and inside of certain 
 of these stockades an elevation, partly of earth and sur- 
 mounted by wood, was at times constructed, in order that a 
 watchman might be able to look over the stockade to observe 
 the approach or movements of an enemy. But apart from 
 the mention which is thus made no record whatever appears 
 of the existence of a stockade at this place, although there is 
 believed to have been one connecting the houses of Isaac 
 Hubbard, Jr., and Samuel Gunn. Such a stockade, however, 
 would have been rather for the purposes of safe passage 
 than for the general use of the inhabitants. 
 
 The second school house, for which provision had thus 
 been made, if erected in accordance with the action of the 
 
92 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 town meeting-, was afterwards moved to a point in front 
 of David Hubbard's west home lot, or about six rods south 
 of where the first school building stood, which had been 
 burned. It would thus have been located nearly in front of 
 the dwelling house now occupied by Mrs. Albert Montague. 
 The second school house, like the first, was used for about 
 thirty years, and in 1793 it was sold to Melzar Hunt for two 
 pounds, sixteen shillings. Mr. Hunt lived in what was then 
 and is now called " Flag Swamp," on the place afterwards 
 owned by Aaron Howard, later by Lyman A. Newton, and 
 now by William E. Dwyer. It is not entirely clear what may 
 have been his object in the purchase of the old school house ; 
 it may have been to move it down to form some portion of the 
 dwelling house of his father-in-law, Simon Cooley, and him- 
 self. Such a possibility is certainly suggested by the action 
 of the town, which in December, 1791, chose Elijah Harmon, 
 Lieut. Alexander and Israel Clark as a Committee " to build 
 a new pound agreeable to Melzar Hunt's proposal," which 
 was, "to set up said pound gratis for the damage the town 
 sustained by moving the old pound for the benefit of draw- 
 ing said Hunt's house." It will be noticed that this action 
 was had two years before the record of the .sale to ISIr. Hunt, 
 and yet it may very possibly have been that the house was 
 taken by him and moved and the final compensation to the 
 town not fully determined until after the removal had taken 
 place, and that the apparently low price paid for the school 
 house may in some manner have been fixed by reason of Mr. 
 Hunt's action in meeting the expense of the erection of the 
 new pound. 
 
 The third school house was located at first on the north- 
 east corner of John Rowe, Jr's, Home Lot, or in front of it in 
 the street, but it was not finally built there, probably for the 
 reason that that location was desired for the meeting house, 
 the building of which was at that time under contemplation. 
 After having first determined to "set the school house near 
 the old one or a little north of it," another town meeting on 
 the 31st of May had recourse again to a Committee composed 
 of Nathaniel Smith and Cotton Graves to " come to an agree- 
 ment with Daniel Montague for a piece of land at the south- 
 east corner of his home lot, and also to agree with Lieut. 
 Delano for a piece of land at the northeast corner of his lot, 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 93 
 
 to widen the highway against said house." This Committee 
 negotiated with both the persons named to take three rods 
 of land from each, and in exchange to give to Daniel Monta- 
 gue two pieces of land adjoining his land at the sheep pas- 
 ture, one acre on the west side and one acre and a quarter at 
 the northeast, to run to Clay Brook, for the benefit of water- 
 ing, and to Lieut, Delano an acre and a quarter of land near 
 Stoney Gutter, adjoining the lots of Manoah Bodman and 
 Thomas Hovey, and the action of the Committee was subse- 
 quently approved by the town. This location of the school 
 on the southeast corner of Daniel Montague's and the widen- 
 ing of the road effected at the same time, placed it upon the 
 corner afterwards occupied as a store by Nathaniel Smith 
 and Erastus Graves, successively, and in later years by Hora- 
 tia Graves and Horace Lyman, and is the site of the present 
 contemplated new town library building. 
 
 At the time of its erection this third school house was the 
 only one in town, and in after years it was occupied as a shoe- 
 maker's shop by Benjamin Graham, and later by Ira Bea- 
 man. The education imparted here was probably of the 
 heroic sort, as the whipping post, recently deposited in the 
 Memorial Hall at Deerfield, was connected with this school 
 house, and there were dents in the wall known to have been 
 made when a ruler, which had been vigorously hurled at 
 some pupil's head, had missed its intended aim. 
 
 One of the low spots or swamps which gave to the town 
 its original name of Swampfield, was in this immediate vicin- 
 ity, and from time to time the town meetings voted to 
 get rid of the water, but more energetic measures than 
 votes were necessary, and so having endeavored unsuccess- 
 fully to drain this to the eastward through Middle Lane, the 
 meeting of November ist, 1791, determined to fill up the 
 pond in the street near the school house and turn the water 
 into Lieut. Delano's home lot, between the meeting house 
 and his dwelling house, and also to pay all damages that 
 might be occasioned to Mr. Delano, his heirs and assigns, by 
 reasons of this water being let into his lot. As the meeting 
 house then stood in the middle of the street, the course of 
 this drainage must have been on to or over the land where 
 the chapel now stands. 
 
94 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 This third school house was finally sold in 1815 and passed 
 into use as a cobbler's shop in the ownership of Mr, Graham. 
 
 While these events had been taking place in the center of 
 the town, settlements had been made in the northern and 
 eastern part of the township, and for quite a while at the 
 annual meetings votes were passed to give to the farmers in 
 the eastern portion of the town their " proportionable part " 
 of the money voted for schools " and their proportion of the 
 wood consumed, for the use of maintaininsj a school among 
 themselves," and Israel Hubbard, Moses Graves and John 
 Clary were the Committee charged with seeing that this 
 proper allowance was made. But this condition did not long 
 satisfy the dwellers in the more remote sections, and in Jan- 
 uary, 1770, John Clary, Fellows Billings and Simon Cooley 
 were chosen as a Committee to " find a spot " upon which to 
 build a school house in the eastern part of the town, and 
 Israel Hubbard, Lieut. Abner Cooley, Moses Graves, Daniel 
 Montague and Simon Cooley were the members of the Com- 
 mittee selected to build it. 
 
 Twenty-one years later, March, 1791, the south farmers 
 in turn were excused from paying their proportion of build- 
 ing a school house in the town's street, and then in order to 
 amply cover the case should any of those farmers contribute 
 to the erection of the school house then under contempla- 
 tion in the town, it was further provided that whenever the 
 Meadow farmers shall build a school house, they should 
 be reimbursed their proportion of the money paid by them 
 toward building one in the town's street. Provision had thus 
 been made for school districts, though the boundaries of 
 them were undefined, and this was corrected in May of that 
 same year, 1791, when the town was formally divided into 
 three districts, as follows : 
 
 "The north district shall include all north of Clay Brook; the 
 middle district all from Clay Brook to the lower side of the first 
 division of the plowing land in the south field, excepting Oliver 
 Barritt; the south district to include said Harritt and all south of 
 said division of plowing land." 
 
 The first school house built in this north division was 
 located on the east side of the highway, on the road leading to 
 Montague through the " Canada District," a little south of 
 
 I 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 95 
 
 the house where Albertus Bixby now lives ; and the first 
 house in the southern district was built on the road run- 
 ning from Plumtrees to Sunderland Meadow, about midway 
 between the two places. This house was burned in Febru- 
 ary, 1816, 
 
 In 181 5 and 1816 there was a redivision of the school dis- 
 tricts, and the number was increased from three to five. 
 By this redivision the street or center district was divided 
 into two parts by the two lanes called Middle Lane and River 
 Lane, and the southern district was divided so that the part 
 lying to the east of where the first school house of that dis- 
 trict had stood should constitute a district by itself, under 
 the name of Plumtrees, and that to the west, designated as 
 the Meadow District ; and at the same time the vSelectmen, to 
 whom had been assigned the work of apportioning the non- 
 resident tax payers of the town to the several school districts 
 in the performance of their work, made the following report, 
 under date of February 25, 1816: 
 
 " We the subscribers Selectmen of Sunderland hereby certify 
 that it is our determination that the following named persons and 
 Non Residnts proportions of Lands lying in said town be subject to 
 taxation on their lands in the following described school districts in 
 said town, for the expenses that may arise in consequence of 
 building or repairing a school house in any of the districts in said 
 town.

 After the division of the town into five school districts in- 
 stead of three, as before, new school houses were necessary. 
 At a town meeting held April, 1816, the town voted : 
 
 " That the south center school district be permitted to build a 
 school house in the street at the lower end thereof in such a place 
 as the selectmen shall designate." 
 
 The above school house, built of brick, stood in the street 
 just south of the road which leads from the travelled high- 
 way to Dea. Sanderson's residence, and stood there facing 
 and very near to the travelled roads till the wooden two 
 story house was built in about 1835, which stood just north 
 of Dea. Sanderson's house. At the same time the brick 
 building was built, the north district built a brick one, which 
 is now used as a dwelling house, occupied by Mrs, Sharkey. 
 The schools were for a number of years managed by the town, 
 but later by a change in the law, the labor of conducting 
 the schools was delegated to the districts, the town voting 
 annually to give the districts authority to employ their own 
 teachers. The money for that purpose was divided among 
 them by the town, either in proportion to the ntimber of 
 scholars or upon the basis of the assessed value of the prop- 
 erty of the district, or both, or in some years a certain amount 
 was divided equally among the six districts, and the remain- 
 der upon the scholars and the property. 
 
 In 1869 the town voted to abolish the school district, and 
 thereupon the care of all the schools devolved upon the 
 general School Committee. For a time the schools were 
 continued in the several districts, but very soon it appearing

 that the school money could be used at better advantage by 
 using all the money in supporting the center school and with 
 less teachers, the schools in the two north districts were dis- 
 continued and the scholars brought to the center. In March, 
 1880, the School Committee was authorized "to use $50 of 
 the school money for transporting scholars if they think 
 best." In 1 88 1 the School Committee was instructed "to 
 use $150 of the school money to pay for the transportation 
 of scholars," and in 1882 a like sum was voted. 
 
 At present all the scholars from the remote districts are 
 brought to the center school at an annual expense of $700, 
 and four teachers are employed, besides the music teacher. 
 
SUNDERLAND LIBRARIES. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 At what date in the town's history the first library was 
 established cannot be definitely stated. But from some docu- 
 ments connected therewith, which are still in existence, it is 
 evident that it was during the last half of the i8th century. 
 The earliest date found upon any of these old papers is that 
 of December 2d, 1794. 
 
 This document gives quite a list of names of individuals 
 against whom " one shilling fines and forfeitures had been 
 voted," denoting the existence of a library some little time 
 previously. The following is a copy of a paper found on 
 file with other library papers, which indicates that a library 
 organization was being formed, and that they were arrang- 
 ing to purchase the books of a library then in existence, as 
 follows : 
 
 "Sunderland June 16th 1801" 
 "We whose names are hereto affixed do hereby promise and en- 
 gage to form ourselves into a society known by the name of the 
 Social Library in Sunderland to be governed by such rules and regu- 
 lations as we shall hereafter adopt, and we likewise further promise 
 and engage to pay our equal proportion of the cost of those books 
 that shall be purchased by the person or persons whom we shall 
 appoint for that purpose at the vendue on Monday the 22'^ day of 
 June Inst, which shall be purchased out of the list of books, which 
 are to be bid upon by the proprietors of the present library only, 
 agreeable to a vote of said proprietors at a legal meeting, June 15"' 
 1801." 
 
 The above is in the hand writing of John Montague, (Sen.), 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 99 
 
 whose name heads the list of subscribers to the agreement 
 and who was reputed to be the instigator and promoter of 
 the establishment of the first library in Sunderland. The 
 list of names follows: 
 
 "John Montague Moses Leonard 
 
 Samuel Church David Graves 
 
 W'" Delano David Hubbard 
 
 Phineas Hubbard Israel Russell 
 
 Dan' Montague Jun, Melzar Hunt 
 
 Giles Hubbard Simeon Ballard 
 
 Lucy Cooley Daniel Whitmore 
 
 Eleazer Warner Quartus Smith 
 
 Silvanus Clark Beng" Graves 
 
 David Montague John Wiley " 
 Phin'= Graves Jun, 
 Thomas Clark 
 
 There is also a petition on file directed to " Daniel Whit- 
 more one of the Justices of the Peace for the County of 
 Hampshire," praying him to call a meeting of the proprie- 
 tors of the " Social library " at the house of " Moses Leonard 
 for the purpose of choosing all necessary officers." 
 
 This petition is signed by Samuel Church, John Montague, 
 Melzar Hunt, Giles Hubbard and William Delano, and 
 dated, July 3d, 1801. 
 
 The first and second libraries are knowm to have had no 
 permanent abiding place till about 1840, but were kept in 
 different dwelling houses, as individual proprietors could be 
 found who would properly and conveniently care for them. 
 It is learned from one of the.se old papers alluded to, that 
 " William Delano was allowed two dollars and fifty cents for 
 keeping the library seven years four months and 25 days." 
 It is recollected by vSome, living, that in later years. Major 
 Horace Hubbard, who lived in the old house recently taken 
 down by G. Dwight Fish, kept and cared for the library 
 several years. 
 
 The following is a partial list of the books comprising the 
 " first library " as found in its catalogue, with their cost, so 
 far as deciphered :

 It will be noticed that there was but little fictitious read- 
 ing- in the library if the above was a fair sample of its con- 
 tents. 
 
 In 1838 or 1839 a room was fitted for a reading room and 
 library in the second story of the store building of Horatio 
 Graves, which occupied the corner recently purchased for 
 the location of the new library building. The library re- 
 mained in this room till the building and library were 
 burned in 1854. For several years following, the town was 
 without a library. 
 
 It was in 1869 that Messrs. Rufus R. and S. Augustus 
 Graves, then living in Brooklyn, N. Y,, sons of Erastus 
 Graves, all of whom were natives of Sunderland, made a gift 
 of $1000 to found a public library in town. To this was 
 added sundry other donations, the most important being 
 one of $500, from Mr. A. J. Johnson, who afterwards added 
 copies of all his published works and had a uniform bind- 
 ing ptit upon the entire stock of volumes. On the 20th of 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 101 
 
 December of the same year the library was open to the 
 public. 
 
 It should be stated in this connection that a short time 
 previous to the above date, Horace Greeley offered a pre- 
 mium of $200 to any Farmers Club who should first report 
 to him, properly certified, of having set out a grape vine at 
 every dwelling house in town, and that the Sunderland 
 Farmers Club obtained the prize. The $200 was placed in 
 the hands of the trustees of the Sunderland library. Until 
 the present time this library, with its constant accretion, has 
 been located in the town hall and school building. It has 
 steadily grown in importance and in favor with all classes. 
 The value of it may be judged by the fact that in the last 
 two years nearly 10,000 books have been drawn from it. It 
 now numbers more than 3,000 volumes. In consequence of 
 its growth a special library building is to be erected, which 
 will give greater reading facilities than have been afforded, 
 as well as greater security from fire. 
 
HIGHWAYS IN EARLY SETTLEMENT. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 The highways laid out at the time of la34ng- out the home 
 lots and meadow lands have been already noticed, and as 
 lands were from time to time divided, highways were pro- 
 vided for, some of which were probably never constructed. 
 The ways, doubtless, in the early days of the settlement, 
 existed in fact, as the necessities of travel required, before the 
 legal " laying out." There must have been a way between 
 Hadley and Northfield prior to the settlement of Sunder- 
 land and through the latter town, and many of the town 
 ways must have been merely the legal adoption of existing 
 paths. 
 
 The ways, leading one on the side of Lot No. i, east side 
 of the .street, towards the mountain, and the other from the 
 uper end of the street to the river, are recognized as existing 
 in 1 7 19, but are not recorded. 
 
 On December 7, 172 1, it was voted to build a bridge over 
 the mill brook below the mill, and lay out a highway to 
 Hunting Hills. This road was laid out and recorded March 
 8, 1725, in the following not very definite terms : 
 
 "The Highway up to Hunting Hill brook from the corn mill 
 along near the ould road til we come to Slatestone Brook & then to 
 gow on above the old road where the bridge is now made and then 
 along the old road til we come over the next slow & then along the 
 old road till we come to Hunting Hill brook." 
 
 Query : Did not the road go over the hill from the " corn 
 mill " and so across Slatestone brook, and not on the bank of 
 the river as now ? 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 103 
 
 On January 17, 1725, the town voted to have a highway 
 out of the southfield into the commons in some convenient 
 place in the lower division and to have it go out at the place 
 commonly called the " horse path." There was a gate at 
 this road seventy years ago, and perhaps at a later period 
 gates were maintained at the south end of the street on the 
 road leading into the meadow, and also in '* Lower Lane " at 
 the Flag Swamp and Great Swamp roads. 
 
 A highway was laid out at an early period on the hill 
 " east of the town," between the home lots and the pasture 
 lots, and at one time it extended from Dry Brook to Stony 
 Hill. 
 
 In 1726 a highway is recorded from the end of the high- 
 way, south of Samuel Gunn's lot, up the hill as far as Mr. 
 Rand's pasture. This must be an extension of one of the 
 roads from the village eastward to the mountain. 
 
 Also in the same year " from the country road at Dry 
 Brook across hatchet Brook to Bull Hill near where the path 
 now is." 
 
 November 20, 1727, it is found that no such highway is 
 recorded and so one is laid out " from the Town along the 
 east side of Little Meadow up to the Gristmill, said high- 
 way to be four rods wide in or near where the road now 
 lays." 
 
 In 1743 numerous roads are laid out at Hunting Hills and 
 " one from Bull Hill to y*" town bounds to run up to the Hill 
 to Hadley highway." 
 
 In 1754 Israel Hubbard and Abner Cooley lived at the 
 " Plumbtrees," on the farms now occupied by their descend- 
 ants, and in that year two highways were laid out, one run- 
 ning from Israel Hubbard's toward Leverett, and the other 
 "begins at Israel Hubbard's house and runs in the common 
 road between Abner Cooley's and Charles Chauncey's & ex- 
 tends along where y'^ path is now to Hadley bounds being 
 three rods in width & to run East to Hadley highway between 
 the two precincts eight rods wide." Amherst was at this 
 time a part of Hadley. 
 
 From the Town Records. — Highways. 
 
 It appears from the records that many highways were 
 " viewed," put upon record, but were never worked. Many 
 
104 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 of the highways were laid because there seemed to be a 
 call for them, as there was a path there already, and were 
 laid, as the record says, " where the path now goeth." At the 
 present date it is somewhat difficult to determine where the 
 roads were laid, and they can only be approximately located 
 by the mention of some brook or other term which is still 
 used as a descriptive name or boundary. Some of these 
 names of the localities found in the records of early date are 
 in use now, as for instance, " Russell's Hill," " Kellog's hill," 
 "Bull hill," "Bears Den," "Mitchells hill," " Willards lot" 
 and " Willards brook," all of which are located on the moun- 
 tain eastof the village. "Clay Brook '' and " Clapboard brook," 
 both of which are a little to the north of the village ; " Slate 
 Stone brook " is the brook upon which Whitmore's Mill has 
 stood for many years, and is mentioned as within 20 rods of 
 the north line of our town. " Saw Mill River," " Miller's 
 plain " and " Hunting Hills," are all in Montague, then a 
 part of Sunderland. The " hop yard," " Boggie Meadow," 
 "Juggle Meadow " and the " iish pond " are all in Leverett, 
 once a part of Sunderland. The " horse path " is frequently 
 mentioned, which is supposed to be the road which leads 
 from Dry Brook southerly past the house of Henry M. Clark, 
 or in that vicinity, and was probably one of the first roads 
 from Sunderland to Hadley. 
 
 At a town meeting held March 5th, 1759, ^^^^ following 
 was voted, which is transcribed, not because the highway can 
 be easily located, but because it can not, only by the name 
 of " Willards Brook," which has been said to be the brook 
 that runs northerly across the highway from the pasture 
 and sugar lot of the late Henry J. Graves, which lies south- 
 easterly of the north Toby road, viz : 
 
 " Voted that we establish a highway acrost the second Division 
 of y^ Sequestered Land, viz: To Begin at Willards Brook in Dea". 
 Montagues Land & to Run east till it comes to the brook & to Run 
 Northeast on y'' north side of ye Brook to Rusels Grant trees being 
 marked on both sides of the way and it is four Rod wide. Voted 
 also that we establish a highway through y" i^*. & Second Division

 localities where they lay.

106 history of sunderland. 
 
 Highways Leading North. 
 
 It is supposed that the road from Sunderland to Montague, 
 which now passes through what is called the Canada district, 
 was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, laid out between 
 the two towns. 
 
 There was a road laid out quite early in the history of the 
 town, to the Mills built on " Saw Mill River," in what is now 
 Montague, and later to a " saw mill," which is now called 
 " Munsell's." There was afterwards a corn mill at the " Mun- 
 sell " stream before one was built upon " Slate Stone brook " 
 at Whitmore's, and later there was a " fulling mill " in opera- 
 tion at " Munsells." The road from Sunderland to what is 
 now called " Munsells " was later extended up as far as 
 " Slate Stone Brook " at Whitmore's. There had been a road 
 in existence for a long time from Col. Whitmore's, east, 
 intersecting with the road to Montague at Abram Puffer's, 
 on the Canada road. 
 
 There was also a road from the top of the hill east of Col. 
 Whitmore's, running northerly " across the swamp'' where 
 Whitmore's mill pond now is, and thence across the plain to 
 the " Hunting Hills Brook." This road must have been in 
 existence as one of the roads to Montague before the road 
 was laid out across " Slate Stone brook," and thence norther- 
 ly on the bank of the river to Montague, as the following 
 would indicate : 
 
 "June 23d. 1785. Voted Daniel Montague Capt Hubbard Capt. 
 Leonard Phineas Graves and Rufus Graves be a Committee appointed 
 to wait on the Courts Committee appointed to lay out a County 
 road from Sunderland to Montague by Col Whitmores." 
 
 " Voted 3'' that we leave the affair to the discretion of the afore- 
 said Committee to oppose said roads being laid out there or not 
 as they shall think best on viewing the ground." 
 
 "Voted, 4^''. that we reconsider the last mentioned vote." 
 
 "Voted 5"' that we direct the Committee to oppose by every 
 reasonable argument the said road's being laid out." 
 
 " March 5, 1764, Voted to Establish the highway where y^ com- 
 mittee mentioned in vote 39"'. viz. from y" highway that goes from 
 Little Meadow to y*^ Grist mill — Beginning at ye brow of y^' hill y^' 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 107 
 
 North side of y^ a Gulley a little north if Mr. Oaks' Barn Then run- 
 ning to y^ Northwest to where y® path is now to y^ river bank by a 
 spruce tree. Then down y"^ bank one rod east of y® Ledge of Rocks; 
 that is y® shore in Common water — one rod wide." 
 
 It would seem that the above road was from the corn mill 
 at what is now (1898) Munsells to Whitmore's ferry, which 
 would indicate that there was at that time (1764) a ferry in 
 operation at Whitmore's. This was before the laying out of 
 the road " by Col Whitmores " to Montague, but there was a 
 road up the hill easterly from Col. Whitmore's and thence 
 northerly to " Hunting Hills," as had already been shown. 
 
 The first record of a road found on the town books, from 
 which it can be told where it began and ended, was recorded 
 in 1796, which commenced at Plumtrees and ended at the 
 Meadow road which leads from Sunderland to Hadley, near 
 where Eben F, Wiley now lives, and is recorded as follows, 
 viz : 
 
 "Beginning at the County road betwixt Capt. Hubbards and Lieut 
 Cooleys and runs to the northwest corner of David Spragues Hovel 
 (David Sprague lived where James Ahearn does now,) to a stake 
 and stones the west side of Mudy brook where the road now is. The 
 road to the north side of said stake and stones, and from thence 
 straight to the line betwixt the lots now owned by Capt. Hubbard and 
 David Montague and on said line till it comes near Timothy Catlins 
 field to a stake and stones, one half of the road to be taken off of 
 the above mentioned lots and then runs a straight line to the top of 
 the hill at the north end of Mossy Swamp where the road now is, 
 and then continues the old road until it comes to the ' County 
 road.' " 
 
 The above road is two rods wide. 
 
 From this record it may be assumed that there had been a 
 road in existence over this same course at an earlier date. 
 
 The term county road has been used, as copied from the 
 record. 
 
 There had been early in the 18th century, commencing 
 as early as 1732, many roads laid out by a committee ap- 
 
 'Just where Mr. Oaks' (Jonathan Oaks) barn stood cannot now be deter- 
 mined. He came from Petersham to Sunderland and once owned the mill, 
 afterwards owned by the Whitmores. 
 
108 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 pointed by the authority of the county (Hampshire) in the 
 towns first settled, which although put upon record at the 
 county seat, seem to have been ignored b}^ the town, became 
 obsolete, and their layouts cannot now be determined. 
 
 By way of illustration a few of them will be introduced 
 which are copied from the Hampshire County Records, the 
 first of which claims to be the laying out of a highway from 
 Deerfield to Northfield, from thence to Sunderland. 
 
 " 1732 Book A. Page 164." 
 
 "Deerfield April 25. 1732." 
 
 " We appointed &c. began at Deerfield meeting house and laid 
 the County road from said meeting house to the North Meadow 
 Gate six rods wide then into the Great Meadow plain where the 
 Path now goeth to the Great River and through Cheapside Meadow 
 to Meadow Gate & Green River and to Edwards Allis house «Scc. 
 turn to right to Fall hill to Bennetts Meadow Gate over Fall River 
 brook than in old Path to Stonny hill upon east side of hill & over 
 Fall River to Ben nets Meadow then to cross Great River where the 
 Country road now is into Northfield Great Meadow and so through 
 meadow to Meadow Gate into Northfield street and from the lower 
 end of Northfield Town Street the s"^ road to go as the Path now 
 Goeth to Millers River thence to Millers plain and then at North side 
 of Millers plain next mineral hill in strait line through Millers plain 
 to top of hill north side of Saw mill river and then to go along on 
 the path over Saw Mill river as the path now goeth by the old Saw 
 Mill six rods wide and then over the River to goe along the east 
 end of Thomas Kelts lot and so to keep the common road or cart- 
 way into Sunderland as the path now goeth which road is to be six 
 rods wide." 
 
 The boundaries and locations given in this copy of Hamp- 
 shire County records, substantiates the assertion that the 
 roads described can not now be identified. 
 
 Various other copies of " lay outs " are still in existence, as 
 from the north bounds of Sunderland to Miller's River ; from 
 Deerfield to Northfield, &c. 
 
 In 1758 a road from "Sunderland ferry" to the road lead- 
 ing from Hatfield to Deerfield, to a black oak staddle marked 
 X, toward Hatfield from the eight mile mark, six rods wide 
 from the ferry to said Hatfield road. This was before the 
 setting off of the town of Whately from Hatfield and Hat- 
 field extended as far north as Whately does now. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 109 
 
 In 1759 the Committee were appointed to view and locate 
 several roads as County roads, viz : 
 
 " From the bounds of Sunderland to Millers plain, From Hadley 
 first precinct to Roadtown (Shutesbury) Meeting House. From 
 Sunderland to Roadtown, and from Roadtown meeting house to 
 Greenwich. From Roadtown to New Salem, and through New 
 Salem to Pequoiag, also to Petersham. Also in 1759 a highway 
 was laid from the highway leading from Hadley to Sunderland, to 
 the highway leading from Hadley to Amherst, to accommodate 
 travellers from Hatfield to Amherst and eastward by way of Wait's 
 ferry, beginning at an oak tree &c." 
 
 In 1774 a road was laid by this committee throug-h the 
 east part of Sunderland (now Leverett) to Montague, where 
 mention is made of a few individuals on the line of the road. 
 In the same year (1774) a road was built from the Shutesbury 
 road in Sunderland to Montague. In these various " lay 
 outs" by the committee appointed by the court sitting in 
 Springfield for Hampshire County, which then included the 
 three counties of Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin, the 
 names of the committee are not given, but the names of the 
 justices of the court are found. The courses and distances 
 are not given, excepting in one instance, a road from Had- 
 ley. The road from Hadley to Sunderland follows in the 
 copy, and is as follows, viz : A road laid out in 1795 (Book R 
 page 195) from Hadley to Sunderland, which began at the 
 east door of the meeting house in Sunderland. This must 
 have been the meeting house built in 1793 and torn down in 
 1836. The points of the compass are given in the record 
 and the distances in rods from each point or angle. Now if 
 the variation of the needle could be determined, and the 
 east door of the meeting house could be found, there would 
 be no difficulty in finding the road. But the fact must be 
 accepted that the county has re-established the line over the 
 same route, first in 1823 and again in 1897. 
 
 The above road was " laid on the north and easterly side, 
 and ends at a white oak tree at Hadley line." This white 
 oak tree is no doubt the one which stands there now on the 
 easterly side of the highway, at " Hadley line." 
 
 This highway was principally laid on the line of the pres- 
 ent river road (so called) and it went direct from the bridge 
 
110 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 south of where lives Thomas Ahearn to E. F. Wiley's. 
 This conclusion is drawn from the fact that the occupant of 
 the farm at that time (Timothy Catlin) was awarded 40 shill- 
 ings for land damages. Timothy Catlin lived then where E. 
 F. Wiley does now. 
 
 The road from the bridge south to Timothy Catlin's, was 
 probably laid out as a " County road," but was never occu- 
 pied as such until it was relaid in 1823. 
 
 In 1796 the same committee laid out other roads. See 
 Book R, page 1 80-181, Hampshire County, records at Spring- 
 field, viz : 
 
 " A road from Sunderland (Plumtrees) to Hadley. 
 
 A road from Sunderland, (Plumtrees) to Leverett. 
 
 A road from Leverett to Whately, which crossed the river 
 at ' Beldens ferry (so called).' " 
 
 The road from Sunderland to Hadley seems to cover the 
 road which runs southwesterly from the house of David 
 Sprague (where James Ahearn now lives), to the Hadley line. 
 The road from Leverett commenced on the county road in 
 Leverett leading from Amherst to Shutesbury, nearly east of 
 Knowlton Woodbury's house, thence (courses and distances 
 given in the record) to the middle of the county road near 
 Capt. Hubbard's in vSunderland, and on said county road 19 
 rods to the northeast corner of land laid out by Fellows 
 Billings (deceased), thence within two rods of the northeast 
 corner of Timothy Catlin's house, thence northerly,^ crossing 
 the brook on the " Mill dam and westerly to the river and 
 ferry and to Belden's in Whately. There is nothing to prove 
 that this road was ever a " County road " except in name. 
 The same year, 1796, the town of Sunderland laid a town 
 road from Plumtrees to the Hadley road near Timothy Cat- 
 lin's, which has been already noticed. In May, 1797, the 
 town voted to direct the committee already chosen to make 
 a new road up the river bank, in the new county road leading 
 from Whately to Leverett. 
 
 The existence of these so called county roads is not denied. 
 
 'This road crossed the brook southerly of the house where Thomas Ahearn 
 now lives on the " Mill Dam," which is the only evidence on record, we have, 
 that the stream ever had a "dam" at this point, and further there is no evi- 
 dence that there was ever a " mill " placed there. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. Ill 
 
 On the contrary there is evidence to show that these roads 
 were laid out by the courts committee of Hampshire county. 
 
 Mr. J. W. Russell of Pittsfield, Mass. (recently deceased), 
 who was born in Sunderland, at the house of Philip Russell, 
 his grandfather, which stood fifteen rods south of the house 
 of Thomas Ahearn, and who lived there till of age, declared 
 he remembered no county roads in that vicinity ; that the 
 town altered the roads at will. 
 
 It is very singular that county roads should become so en- 
 tirely obliterated, and even more strange that the town 
 should project a road over the same route the same year. 
 
 In correspondence with Mr. J. W. Russell of Pittsfield in 
 the early part of the winter of 1898 (and who died March 20, 
 1898), who was born at the house of his grandfather, (Philip 
 Russell) March 17, 181 1, which stood about fifteen rods south 
 of the house of Thomas Ahearn, and who lived in that 
 neighborhood till maturity, he informed me that he knew of 
 no county roads in that vicinity; that, in fact, the town al- 
 tered the roads at will. The most singular part of the mat- 
 ter is the fact that these "County Roads " should be so com- 
 pletely ignored and the knowledge of them forgotten and 
 lost ; and why the town should lay a town road from Plum- 
 trees to Sunderland meadow, over which the the court's com- 
 mittee had located a road the same year. 
 
 Having thus somewhat minutely considered the matter of 
 the " laying out " of various roads by the committee of the 
 court sitting in Springfield for Hampshire county, we may 
 be prepared to consider the location of the roads actually in 
 use in the years between 1796 and 1820. 
 
 In the first place the main road to Hadley, commencing 
 at the lower end of Sunderland street, at the Meadow gate, 
 was located nearly the same' as now till within about 75 rods 
 of Cold Spring. From this point, near land now owned by 
 Miron Brown and Warren Allen, instead of bearing to the 
 east, it continued in same course on the point of the knoll to 
 the southwest corner of land formerly owned by N. Austin 
 Smith and by his father before him, very near Cold Spring, 
 where it turned to the left at right angles and passed over 
 Clary's bridge (so-called) to the " Great Swamp Road " ; 
 thence southerly or southeasterly to the house of Elias 
 Graves (now John W. Walsh) ; thence south to Hadley. The 
 
112 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 road from the street through what is called " Flag Swamp," 
 was also open for travel, intersecting with the cross road a 
 little west of Clary's bridge. There is evidence to show 
 that the " Great Swamp road " did not extend farther south 
 than David Montague's (now Edward M. Smith's), but was 
 opened later to connect with the first named road at its 
 junction therewith. 
 
 The road from the lower end of vSunderland street, eastward, 
 was laid by the proprietors to the foot of the hill at Edmund 
 Barry's. From the foot of the hill it went southerly to Dry 
 Brook, thence southerly through the " horse path " to Hadley, 
 connecting with the Hadley road at E. F. Wiley's. All four 
 of these roads, viz : The River road, Flag Swamp, Great 
 Swamp and the '' horse path," had gates supported by the 
 town. The road from Plumtrees across the plain came to 
 the foot of the hill near E. F. Wilev's, thence north to where 
 Rufus Graves now lives, and thence westerly to the brook, 
 crossing the brook about two rods southerly from the present 
 bridge, thence diagonally across the fields to the ferry, thence 
 to Whately. The road to the ferry was moved by vote of 
 the town about 1828, by a committee, viz: Nathaniel Smith, 
 Capt. Hubbard and David Graves. As early as 18 18 a move- 
 ment was made to have a new road laid through Sunderland 
 meadow. 
 
 At a town meeting held in October of that year Nathaniel 
 Smith, Selah Graves, Elisha Hubbard, Daniel Montague and 
 Israel Russell were chosen a committee to confer with the 
 " Court's Committee " appointed to view a new county road 
 from the dwelling house of Benjamin Graves through the 
 meadow to the dwelling house of Elisha Hubbard. Elisha 
 Hubbard was the father of Moses, the father of Cyrus ; 
 whose family still occupy the house. With the roundabout 
 way already described of getting from Sunderland to Hadley, 
 it is surprising that the town should seriously oppose a road 
 being built. But the records show a contest for at least five 
 years. It is possible there was a difference of opinion as to 
 its location, for in one instance the records vshow that it 
 was proposed to go west of the house of INIr. Phineas Graves 
 (now E. F. Wiley's). The said committee were instructed 
 " to explore the meadow previous to the coming of the 
 court's committee that they might be able to point out the 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 113 
 
 best location." A meeting in May/1819, "to see if the town 
 would lay out a town way from the Meadow gate at the 
 south end of the town street, through the South general 
 field," was called. The result was that the town was willing 
 to make alterations in the road " from the south end of the 
 street through the South General Field to Elisha Hubbard's, 
 provided a compromise was arranged with the Petitioners 
 for a county road, so that they will withdraw their petition." 
 
 It was also voted " That the .Selectmen with the addition 
 of two, be a committee to confer with the Petitioners for a 
 County road through the meadows, and to select a Rout 
 which will induce them to withdraw their Petition provided 
 a town way shall be laid out and well made." There seemed 
 to be great objection to having the road laid as a county 
 road, they preferring a town way. 
 
 Town meetings were held quite often to act upon the mat- 
 ter of opposing the court's committee laying a county road. 
 At a meeting held February 26, 1821 : "Voted, that in con- 
 sideration that Titus Pomeroy and other Petitioners for a 
 County road through the South General Field shall stay fur- 
 ther proceedings on said Petition, and shall cause the same 
 to be stopped the Town will cause a Town Road of a suita- 
 ble width from the northeast corner of Isaac Graves fence 
 in the first division of the said General Field in as straight 
 and direct a line as the nature of the ground will allow to a 
 point in the now travelled road near the barn of Phineas 
 Graves (Phineas Graves' barn then stood northeast of his 
 dwelling house), to be laid out and cause the same to be well 
 and properly made and worked for the public travel in the 
 course of the ensuing season ; and that we will pay a bill of 
 expense submitted to us by said Pomeroy of between twenty 
 eight and twenty nine dollars and also the expense of locat- 
 ing said road, and the Court fees not included in the bill 
 aforesaid." 
 
 At the same meeting, " voted, to make an addition of 
 two to the Committee to compromise with the Petitioners 
 for a county road and chose Erastus Graves and Elisha Hub- 
 bard." 
 
 Voted, *'to instruct said Committee to give bonds in be- 
 half of the town for the performance of the conditions above 
 named. Provided said Titus Pomeroy shall be come obli- 
 
114 
 
 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 gated in behalf of the Petitioners that no further proceed- 
 ings shall be had on the aforesaid Petition for a County 
 road." The Court decided that such a course would be ille- 
 gal, and thus the matter ended for the time. 
 
 The road was built in 1823 by the county's order. The 
 road from Charles Cooley's south to the Amherst line was 
 also built in 1823 as a county road. 
 
 Sixty years ago the house of Seth Warner, which stood 
 where the house of T. L. Powers now does, had its rear and 
 wood shed facing the road, and front facing the east. This 
 was occasioned by the house being built before the road was 
 located, and in the expectation that the road would be laid 
 out east of the house. The appearance presented to those 
 going to and fro between Sunderland and Hadley was pecul- 
 iar, almost grotesque. 
 
WARS. 
 
 Indian, Revolutionary, 1812 and Civil. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 The settlers of Sunderland had hardly completed their 
 habitations, or set in order their civic and religious institu- 
 tions, when they were startled and imperiled by an Indian 
 war. 
 
 The fourth Indian war, as it is commonly termed, com- 
 menced in 1722 and continued until 1726. There were at 
 this time twelve towns or plantations in the county of Hamp- 
 shire — Northfield, Deerfield, Sunderland, Brimfield, with Suf- 
 field and Enfield, now belonging to Connecticut, and Brook- 
 field, now in the county of Worcester. Rutland was the near- 
 est town to Sunderland on the east, and there were no in- 
 habitants in the province to the west of Westfield. 
 
 There was no attack on Sunderland, and none of its inhab- 
 itants suffered in the war, but men were killed or taken cap- 
 tive at Northampton, Hatfield, Deerfield and Northfield. 
 Garrisons were maintained at Northfield and Deerfield, and 
 the men of Sunderland must have been more or less engaged 
 in the military service, as well as in caring for the protection 
 of their homes and families. 
 
 The measure of the care and anxiety engendered by the 
 war is imperfectly exhibited in the town records of the time. 
 
 Thus on July 30, 1722, it was "Voted that we divide the 
 town into three squadrons that each one squadron may make 
 a fort for their own safety & defence, against the enemie." 
 
 Sept. 23, 1723. " Voted that we will ward six men in a day, 
 
116 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 two at the upper fort & two at the middle fort & 2 at the 
 lower fort." 
 
 "Voted that we will have a scout in the meadow or fields 
 of the Inhabitants six men in a day by turns to gow four 
 days into the field or fields & two days in the week y'' woods 
 to make discovery of y® Enemie." 
 
 " Voted that if any man neglact or refuse to gow scout w" 
 he is warned he shal forfeit & pay 3 shillings p"' day for every 
 such neglect." 
 
 May 6, 1725. "Voted that we impour the Townsmen to 
 Git a petition drawn to send to the Governor for to see 
 if we can obtain any help by souldiers to guard our town." 
 
 At the time this war commenced, the inhabitants of Sun- 
 derland all lived in the village or town street. The forts 
 provided for were not in all probability block-houses or sepa- 
 rate buildings specially erected for the purpose, but some 
 dwelling house was erected and fortified by the united labors 
 of that section of the village adjacent to it, to which all their 
 families might resort for protection in case of an attack on 
 the village, or possibly for safety during the night. The 
 ordinary fortification in the time of the Indian wars was 
 stockades or palisades made by splitting a stick of timber 
 ten or twelve feet long and setting the parts close together 
 like posts, inserted two or three feet in the ground, and so 
 surrounding the place to be fortified. The compact parts of 
 Hadley and Northampton were so fortified during King- 
 Philip's war. 
 
 The vote of September, 1723, shows that the three " forts " 
 in Sunderland were constructed, but the location of only one 
 of them is known. There is an apparently well founded 
 tradition that the houses of Dea. Samuel Gunn, on the site of 
 Jno. M. Smith's dwelling and his son-in-law, Isaac Hubbard, 
 Jr., which stood but a short distance north of it and was 
 taken down within a very few years, were fortified, and that 
 there was a passage from one to the other. This passage 
 was understood to be a subterranean one, and when the 
 Gunn house was torn down about 1828-30, evidence of its 
 existence was eagerly sought for without success. But the 
 matter may be easily explained in entire harmony with the 
 tradition. The houses stood so near together that both 
 might be enclosed without extraordinary labor in one fence 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 117 
 
 of palisades, or they might be protected by separate enclos- 
 ures, and connected by a passage way of palisades so as to 
 afford a free passage, and at the same time a fortified one. 
 
 The order for fortifications seems to have been made at 
 the beginning of the war. The first blood of this war was 
 shed in Hampshire, August 13th, 1723, when two men were 
 slain in Northfield. This occurrence, with other signs of the 
 immediate presence of the enemy, seemed to have called out 
 the action of September 23, 1723. It provides for the services 
 of twelve men each day, six in the care of the three fortified 
 places, and six in the field to watch for and give notice of 
 any hostile approach. 
 
 There is no allusion to the war in the records except that 
 already given. 
 
 The land now " had rest " for nearly twenty years, and 
 new settlements multiplied rapidly in Massachusetts. Spring- 
 field had long before colonized within its boundaries, at 
 Chicopee, Longmeadow and West Springfield, and in this in- 
 terval of peace was settled the present town of Wilbraham. 
 Northampton extended its settlements to East and South- 
 ampton ; Hadley to South Hadley and Amherst, and Deer- 
 field to Greenfield. Settlements were commenced at Cole- 
 raine, Bernardston, Warwick, New Salem and Shutesbury 
 in the present county of Franklin ; at Pelham, Ware and 
 Belchertown in the county of Hampshire, and at Palmer, 
 Blandford and Granville in the county of Hampden, and 
 Sheffield and Stockbridge in the county of Berkshire. Set- 
 tlements had also been commenced at Hinsdale, Winchester, 
 No. 4 (Charlestown) and other places in New Hampshire. 
 
 The Fifth Indian War 
 
 Commenced in 1744, and continued iintil 1748. Forts were 
 constructed and maintained during this war by Massachu- 
 setts along the northern frontier, which, with their garrisons, 
 materially aided in preventing hostile incursions upon the 
 frontier town settlements. They were Fort Dummer, near 
 Brattleborough, Vt., Fort Pelham in Rowe, Fort Shirley in 
 Heath and Fort Massachusetts in Adams, a little west of 
 the present village of North Adams, There were also forti- 
 fied houses at Cole'raine, Bernardston, Northfield and places 
 
118 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 east of the river, and at Hinsdale, No, 4, and other places in 
 New Hampshire. 
 
 The inhabitants of Sunderland were not now confined to 
 the village street. Settlements at Hunting- Hills (Montague) 
 were commenced immediately after the close of the fourth 
 war in 1726, and in 1744 they were numerous, comprising 
 some of the original settlers of the town. But the only 
 allusion to the war on the records is inferential rather than 
 positive, being the allowance to John Montague of 10 shill- 
 ings in each of the years 1746 and 1747 for "running 40 lb. 
 of lead into bullets." 
 
 The casualties of this war in the county of Hampshire 
 were less than in former years. Five persons were slain and 
 one captured at "the Bars" in Deerfield, August 25th, 1746. 
 John Smead, who had not long been released from captivity, 
 was slain near the mouth of Millers river, October 19, 1747, 
 while passing from Northfield to Sunderland. Two persons 
 were slain in Southampton and four in Northfield during 
 the war. April 22nd, 1746, Moses Harvey, a Sunderland 
 man, passing from Northfield to Deerfield, was fired upon, the 
 bullet passing through his hat. One man was killed at Cole- 
 raine, and two at Bernardston. 
 
 Fort Massachusetts, then containing twenty-two men com- 
 manded by Sergt. John Hawks of Deerfield, and also three 
 women and five children, was invested August 19, 1746, by 
 an army of 800 French and Indians. The fort surrendered 
 on the following day, having lost one man ; another died in 
 a few days, and the remainder were carried captive into 
 Canada, from whence most of those who survived ultimately 
 returned. Jonathan Bridgeman, one of the soldiers, was 
 from Sunderland. He was wounded in the fort and died in 
 captivity at Quebec, July 21, 1747. Stephen Scott, another 
 of the captives, who ultimately returned, was probably son 
 of Richard Scott of vSunderland. 
 
 William vScott, who was a prisoner at Quebec in February, 
 1747, may also have been a Sunderland man. 
 
 On the 26th June, 1748, a party of forty men under com- 
 mand of Capt. Humphrey Hobbs, while on their way from 
 No. 4 to Fort Dummer, were attacked by a superior force of 
 Indians, a desperate fight ensued, and the Indians were 
 finally beaten off. Capt. Hobbs lost three men killed and 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 119 
 
 four wounded. Eli Scott and Samuel Gunn, killed, and Sam- 
 uel Graves, wounded, maj have belonged to Sunderland. 
 
 The War of the Revolution 
 
 Should be prefaced with some explanation of the bitter dis- 
 sensions preceding- it. 
 
 To the hardships of the pioneers who explored the intract- 
 able forests had been added the dangers, not alone from 
 neiofhborincr Indians, but from incursions of French, and the 
 warlike Mic-macs of Canada. Invasions of these by way 
 of Lake Champlain and the Hudson river had succeeded in 
 creating a lasting impression that the settlers could only rely 
 upon their own powers for their safety. 
 
 If Great Britain warred with France, the first news of it 
 came in an attack from their Canadian neighbors, without 
 any provision to assist the colonists in defending- their homes 
 and families ; but contributions of men and money were 
 demanded and given to assist the " Mother land " in her en- 
 terprising wars. To these colonists it must have seemed a 
 very one-sided friendship. It was the little events which 
 led up to a general alienation, and estranged, first, families, 
 then neighborhoods. Such families as had emigrated from 
 England since the fifth Indian war retained more constant 
 communication with their English relatives, and continued 
 to call England "home;" and were counted by their neigh- 
 bors as Tories, after the political party in which they had 
 been born in the old country. Some of these, loyal to Eng- 
 land to their heart's core, spent all their money and credit 
 in raising soldiers in Canada to put down the Rebellion. 
 But the pioneers and their sturdy sons, who had grown up 
 neglected by the parent country, resented an affiliation made 
 up of contributions of men and systematic taxation on the 
 one side, and timid compliance on the other.. They pre- 
 ferred to be counted as opposed to the existing power in 
 England, and assumed the same cognomen as that held by 
 the opposition party there, which was called the Whig 
 party. 
 
 The distrust engendered in every community was shown 
 in the cautious, incomplete records. No warrants for calling 
 town meetings were registered. (The first registered war- 
 
120 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 rants in Sunderland were made in 1816 by Horace W. Taft.^i 
 Frequent entries during the war are made of business trans- 
 acted, stated in such indefinite terms as to give no clue to any 
 prying Tory who might obtain access to them — " Voted that 
 we will take that affair under consideration" — no doubt con- 
 veyed to those concerned all that they cared to know, 
 whether it was purchase of powder and shot, or smoking out 
 a prying Tory ; but to us it is as mystifying as the vote at a 
 subsequent meeting that " that affair was put in the hands 
 of a Committee." 
 
 It goes without saying that independent free men were 
 prone to illustrate their freedom with a surplus of capital 
 letters, and with spelling as original as it was fluctuating, 
 some men's names being spelled differently every time they 
 were written. 
 
 Not infrequently so many of the men were away on patrol 
 or commissary service no business could be transacted. 
 
 There is a tradition in the Montague family that, soon after 
 the outbreak of the Revolutionar}^ war, the only able-bodied 
 man in Sunderland was John Montague, who had learned 
 the trade of weaving, who staid home not to defend the 
 women and children, but to weave cloth for soldiers' clothing, 
 which the women would cut and sew. 
 
 Though all the colonies at the period when the war broke 
 out w^ere governed by officers appointed by the British Gov- 
 ernment, each had received its charter singly and without 
 regard to any others. Some had been given more favorable 
 terms and special privileges, but all were subject to instruc- 
 tions or commands from English Parliament. ■ 
 
 As early as 1761, the injustice of taxing the colonies to de- 
 fray the expenses of the French war, in which they had fully 
 borne their share, had been freely denounced. When this 
 was followed in 1764 by the "Stamp Act," the American citi- 
 zens were overflowing with indignation. 
 
 Massachusetts took the lead in resisting British oppression. 
 Samuel Adams, a member of the Massachusetts Assembly, 
 said of the Stamp Act " it wholly cancels the very conditions 
 upon which our ancestors with much trial and blood and at 
 their sole expense settled this country and enlarged his majes- 
 ty's dominions." To appreciate what stuff this wSamuel 
 Adams was made of, take his reply to an officer of the 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND, 121 
 
 British army who had been sent to offer such inducements 
 and persona] advantages as would pursuade him to cease his 
 opposition to the British Government " and make his peace 
 with the King." " Sir," said he with great earnestness, " I trust 
 that I have long since made my peace with the King of 
 Kings." " No personal consideration shall induce me to 
 abandon the righteous cause of my country." " Tell Gov- 
 ernor Gage that it is the advice of Samuel Adams to him to 
 no longer insult the feelings of an exasperated people." A 
 contemporary author says, " the leaders of the opposition are 
 resolute, and the people as resolute as the leaders." Massa- 
 chusetts had the name of doing all things well and knew 
 that her acts would be supported by the other colonies. We 
 will forbear telling the old story of making " a teapot " of 
 Boston harbor and simply say that while some \vere inclined 
 to indemnify the East India company who owned the tea 
 thrown overboard for their loss, it remained for Gov. Gads- 
 den of South Carolina to send word to the patriots of Bo.ston. 
 " Don't pay for an ounce of the damned tea." Led by able 
 and patriotic Governors and assisted by eminent councillors, 
 the two states, so widely parted, later, labored then in unison. 
 New York, with citizens of different blood and character, was 
 the last of the colonies to declare for independence. 
 
 In Sunderland there were but few Tories, and the Whigs 
 carried all measures in town meetings without serious oppo- 
 sition. 
 
 Yet there was a continued state of unpleasant feeling and 
 strife between the two parties — a hatred of the Tories by 
 the Whigs. Sheldon in his History of Deerfield (pages 697 
 and 698, Vol. 2nd), in alluding to the state of affairs as it was 
 at this time (1775), prevalent not only in Sunderland but in 
 many of the towns in Western Massachusetts, cited an in- 
 stance showing the extreme bitterness of feeling prevailing. 
 The case was that of Nathaniel Dickinson of Deerfield, who 
 was accused of carrying letters from Col. Williams of Deer- 
 field (a noted Tory), to the Tory party in Boston. 
 
 According to Mr. Sheldon, Dickinson had made a trip to 
 Berkshire ; upon his return from Berkshire, he set out for 
 Boston. He was mobbed three times and sent back ; Thurs- 
 day, January 26 (1775), he was back at Hatfield, where a mob 
 drove him out of town. Monday night he lodged at Sunder- 
 
122 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 land, where a mob collected but could not find him. Mr. 
 Sheldon says further in regard to this case, "There was a 
 mob at Sunderland which began Thursday morning and 
 lasted till Saturday night." Sunderland has among her old 
 treasures a letter written by Zebina Montague to John Mon- 
 tague, the date of which is lost, but the dates given above in 
 the quotation from the Deerfield History, and its evident 
 connection therewith, clearly show that it was written in the 
 last part of Januar}', or early in the month of February, 1775. 
 On the opposite page is a copy of the letter. 
 
 Zebina Montague and John Montague were cousins and 
 very intimate in their younger days, and afterwards kept up 
 their intimacy by continued correspondence. 
 
 Zebina was at this time or afterwards engaged in business 
 in Amherst, where, after the War of Revolution, he was ap- 
 pointed Brigadier General, also elected to the Legislature, 
 &c. He was born in 1754 — died in 1809. 
 
 John Montague was born in 1752 — died in 1832. 
 
 The letter, written in 1775 in a very fine hand, is well pre- 
 served ; is clear and distinct and as easily read as when first 
 written. Maj. Richard Montague, the father of Zebina, was 
 town clerk of Sunderland several years, and was a fine pen- 
 man. He was employed by the town in 1764 and 1765 to copy 
 an essential part of the " First Book " of records into the 
 " Second Book." All his records in that book are still very 
 distinct and easily read and show that they were written by 
 a good penman, with good black ink. 
 
 The first entry, respecting National affairs, found upon the 
 town records, is the following : 
 
 " Att a Legal meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Sunder- 
 land, June 23, 1774, voted, upon hearing and considering of the af- 
 fare committed to us for our consideration, that we are willing to do 
 something in the affare that is now under our consideration." 
 
 " Voted that we choose a Committee to prepare something for the 
 consideration of the meeting." 
 
 "Voted, Moses Clark, Dan''. Montague Noah Baker & Jedi'' 
 Clark be a Committee for the Purpose above expressed." 
 
 This committee doubtless reported, but their report is not 
 recorded.

 The above meeting met by adjournment several times and 
 finally on December 12th: 
 
 ''Voted that we approve of the doings of the Continental Con- 
 gress that was held att Philadelphia on the fifth day of September 
 Last Past; " 
 
 " Voted that we make Choice of a Committee to Inspect the or- 
 ders of the Association that the Inhabitants of this town in no meas- 
 ure violate the same." 
 
 " Voted that Moses Clark, Jonathan Russell, Simon Cooley & 
 Phineas Graves & Daniel Whitmore, be a Committee for the above 
 service." 
 
 The " Association " referred to was formed b}' the Conti- 
 nental congress at their session, September 5th, 1774, for the 
 purpose of insuring commercial non-intercourse with Great 
 Britain and charged the committees of correspondence with 
 the duty of inspecting the entries of all custom houses. The 
 orders and reports of this association circulated among the 
 several colonies and were distributed in every town. Such 
 was the paper the committee was chosen to inspect. 
 
 At a meeting January 23rd, 1775, " Voted that we are will- 
 ing to send a man to the Provincial Congress to be holden at 
 Cambridge on the first day of February next." 
 
 " Voted Daniel Montague be a Delegate to represent the 
 town at the Provincial Congress above named." 
 
 This action was taken in response to a call for delegates to 
 attend said convention. 
 
 A previous one had been held at Salem, at which Capt . 
 
 Israel Hubbard represented the town. The delegates there 
 assembled had " organized themselves into a Provincial Con- 
 gress entirely independent of British authority." General 
 Gage had dissolved that Congress or Convention on account 
 of the rebellious action of its members. The Congress ad- 
 journed to Concord and was finally dissolved after making 
 provision for one at Cambridge with a new delegation. 
 
 It has been already stated that the Colonies were, previous 
 to this time (1774), under Governors appointed by the British 
 Crown. The General Court for Massachusetts Bay was con- 
 vened at Boston, May 25, 1774, when General Gage arrived 
 from England, where he had been for a visit, bringing with 
 him a commission of appointment to be himself Governor of 
 
124 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 the Massachusetts Province. He, in addressing the Assem- 
 bly, said that he had commands from the King for holding 
 the sessions of the General Court at Salem, and adjourned 
 the Legislature to Salem. Upon reassembling at Salem the 
 representatives passed resolutions resenting the speech of 
 the Governor, who took the liberty of criticising their acts 
 and pronounced their edicts revolutionary. He therefore 
 sent his secretary to read a proclamation dissolving the Gen- 
 eral Court. As Samuel Adams had previously locked the 
 door that none might go out or none come in, the secretary 
 was obliged to read his document outside the legislative 
 hall. 
 
 This may be called the last meeting of the Assembly of 
 Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was convened under writs is- 
 sued by a Governor appointed by the Crown. At that time 
 this assembly resolved itself into a Provincial Congress, in- 
 dependent of British authority. 
 
 At this session " committees of correspondence, inspecticm 
 and safety" were established for all organized towns. Tliese 
 committees are referred to in subsequent meetings. 
 
 The towns also chose delegates to the Continental Con- 
 gress at this time. 
 
 This " Committee of Correspondence" is said to have origin- 
 ated in the mind of a celebrated preacher of the time, and to 
 have been adopted by Samuel Adams. It meant not only a 
 correspondence between the several towns, but a correspond- 
 ence between widely separated colonies, giving information, 
 advice, &c., and cultivating a friendship between the towns of 
 the Colonies as well as between distant Colonies, in order to 
 form a combined resistance in defence of their liberties. 
 This correspondence is said to have been an important fac- 
 tor in the formation of the American Union. 
 
 At the above meeting it was "Voted to choose a Commit- 
 tee to collect whatever specie the inhabitants of the town 
 were willing to give to the poor people of Boston, and also to 
 convey said collection to the town of boston." 
 
 "Voted, Caleb Montague and Noadiah Leonard be a Com- 
 t'*' for the purpose above named." 
 
 The funds " for the poor people of boston " became neces- 
 sary on account of the attempt to close the port of Boston 
 harbor by Gen Gage in command of the British forces. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 125 
 
 His action was nothing more nor less than an attempt to 
 starve the people of Boston into good behavior, by what was 
 called the " Boston Port Bill." 
 
 Letters were sent from Boston to all the other Colonies 
 asking for sympathy and co-operation. Conventions were 
 held in the other Colonies, which declared " that Boston was 
 suffering in the common cause." 
 
 Annals of that era mention the " droves of cattle, and 
 flocks of sheep, cart loads of wheat and maize, kitchen vege- 
 tables and fruit, barrels of sugar, quintals of dried fish and 
 provisions of every sort which were sent as free gifts to the 
 people of the devoted city, even the distant rice swamps of 
 South Carolina contributing their share." 
 
 And the town of Sunderland with hearty good will col- 
 lected specie for the "poor people of Boston." 
 
 Mark the significance of the word "specie" as noticed in 
 the record. It seems that " depreciated paper currency was 
 even then being repudiated. 
 
 The town also " voted to take money from the town treas- 
 ury to provide the town with a ' stock of powder,' " which 
 also has its significance ; and further voted that we " allow 
 our minute men one shiling six pence per day for the time 
 they have already spent in learning the art of exercising the 
 firelock ;" also, "Voted that we are willing they should have 
 one shilling six pence per day for four days more to be em- 
 ployed in training if they apply themselves to the business," 
 " and that they shall have no pay for the time they are not 
 so employed," " and after they shall have spent their time in 
 training if they refuse to serve in the business they have en- 
 listed for, the}^ shall have no pay." 
 
 " Voted that our minute men have one pound five shillHng to pay 
 the cost of hiring a master to instruct them in the art of exercising 
 the firelock and also to pay the cost of a Drummer." 
 
 Sheldon says in his history of Deerfield that the Sunder- 
 land men had a deserter to train them, which is confirmed 
 by a statement of Maj. Caleb Hubbard, one of those drilled. 
 
 "At a meeting held May 22, 1775, Voted that we are willing to 
 adjoin the District of Montague in sending two delegates one out of 
 Sunderland and one out of Montague to serve as Delegates on turns 
 
126 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 of the Provincial Congress to be holden at Watertown on the 31st 
 Day of this instant May." 
 
 " Voted that Capt. Israel Hubbard and Doc'. Moses Gunn of 
 Montague be the delegates to serve this town and the District of 
 Montague as above expressed." 
 
 Town meetings were held quite frequently at this date, in 
 all of which some action was taken in regard to the war. 
 At a meeting held in the same year as the last (1775) : 
 
 "Voted Jedidiah Clark, Dan'' Montague Dea" Field Stephen 
 Scott and Dan'' Hubbard be a Committee of Correspondence for 
 this time." 
 
 "Voted that the money Raised in this town to pay the province 
 Rate be paid to Henry Gardner province treasurer." 
 
 "Voted that we are willing to do something for the relief of our 
 Soldiers that are now go" forth in Defence of our rights and privi- 
 leges." 
 
 " It will be noted that all soldiers who were taking part in 
 defence of the Colonies were supported at this time by the 
 town that sent them. The Colonies were not yet under such 
 organization that they could do this work. Neither had the 
 Colonies become united. Although there was a Continental 
 Congress, yet they had no authority as such. They could, 
 after consultation, give advice and encouragement, and that 
 was all. It was some time after this that the thirteen Colo- 
 nies became united as a government, and as such furnished 
 the means for carrying on the war. 
 
 The following, found with the old papers of that period, 
 verifies the truth of the above statement as to the town pay- 
 ing the wages of her soldiers at that time: 
 
 "Sunderland July 15th, 1780. We the Subscribers Selectmen of 
 Sunderland agreable to the vote of this town Do promise to pay to 
 Jonathan Gardner John Mors Jedidiah Rice William Montague 
 Israel Russell William Edy Noadiah Aivord and Jathaliah Farnum 
 being Inlisted into the service of the United States for the term of 
 three months, we promise to pay to each of the above named Sol- 
 ders twenty Shillings p'' month the three months if they Continy 
 the whole term or in that proportion if Soner Discharged to be paid

 be paid att on or before the first Day of Dec'""" next.'

 Giles Hubbard 
 
 Upon the back of the above note were the following en- 
 dorsements: 
 
 "July 15th 1780 afternoon. Rec' by me Jon"' Gardner, twelve 
 Shillings & four Pence on this Note." 
 
 "July iSth 1780 Rec'' by me John Morse five Shillings on this 
 Note." 
 
 April 24th (year not stated) Receved 2-7-8 of y" within order by 
 me Jon"' Gardner. 
 
 At the town meeting above alluded to a committee was 
 chosen to collect and purchase provisions for the soldiers, 
 and another to carry the provisions down to Cambridge. 
 The costs of the provisions and of carrying them down to 
 the soldiers was paid by the town, the assessors being in- 
 structed to "put the cost into the next year's rates." 
 
 The following is upon the records : 
 
 "At a meeting held in Sept. 1776, voted that the inhabitants of 
 this town are not willing that Capt. Billings should hold the employ- 
 ment of Innholder any longer." 
 
 This vote was repeated at another town meeting soon 
 after. It seems that Capt. Billings, who was a Tory, had be- 
 come quite obnoxious to the good Whigs. Previous to the 
 war he had been the most prominent man in town. He 
 kept tavern on the corner south of the present hotel, where 
 now (1898) lives Mr. W. L. Warner. Ebenezer Billings, his 
 father, drew the lot and settled there. Two of Capt. Billings' 
 sons married daughters of Col. Israel Williams of Hatfield, 
 who was a rank Tory. The sons followed the father in his 
 Tory sentiments. The Billings family comprised about all 
 of the Tory elements in town at this time. 
 
 'The names of the Selectmen were torn out of the above note. They have 
 been supplied from the town records of that year. 
 
128 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 The result of the votes and treatment was to drive him 
 out of town. He went to Conway, which was then a new set- 
 tlement. At a meeting held January 3rd, 1777: 
 
 " Voted y* Directions to Capn. Hubbard Representative from this 
 town to the General Court. Sir, taking into consideration in this 
 important crices the Critical situation of our Bleeding Country on 
 account of our Domestic Enemies Do think it our Douty to instruct 
 you to move early in this session of the Great & General Court that 
 they send out a Proper test or oath of Elegance (Allegiance) to the 
 State to Discover our enemies from our friends so explicit that we 
 may Desern them & that Sumthing may be Done to protect the un- 
 dervaluing our Paper Currency and as to seting up government that 
 you take Common Sense for your guide more especially that Para- 
 graft sited by Drayton itt (to wit) that he shall merrit the applause 
 of ages that will contrive the greatest Degree of individual happi- 
 ness with the least expense and that we Presume will not be in hav- 
 ing two houses; one to Negative the other." 
 
 The oath of allegiance alluded to was passed to be enacted 
 in February, 1778, whether or not on account of the sugges- 
 tion of the people of Sunderland, we can not tell. (See Mass. 
 Prov. Laws, Chap. 18, page 771). 
 
 Joseph Ashley, Jr., of Sunderland, having left the State, was 
 forbidden by law to return. (See Mass. Prov. Laws, Vol. 5, 
 Chap. 24, page 916.) 
 
 This of course was a reprisal for some Tory intrigue or 
 plot, as his family continued to reside there for years after. 
 
 The writer in transcribing the above instructions to Capt. 
 Hubbard, his great grandfather, the representative in Gen- 
 eral Court, was at loss to know their full meaning, and of the 
 quotations. vSimon Coole}'-, then the town clerk, probably 
 drew up these "instructions," and notwithstanding his mode 
 of spelling and free use of capital letters, not exactly in ac- 
 cord with present style, was evidently a prominent man in 
 town and a man of considerable ability. He was town clerk 
 from 1 77 1 to March, 1780, nine years, and, as will be seen by 
 the records, was quite often placed upon important commit- 
 tees. He probably drew up the further instructions to the 
 representatives concerning the Articles of Confederation 
 agreed upon by the Delegates in Continental Congress, which 
 will appear later (March 31, 1778.) 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 129 
 
 "In explanation of the foregoing copy of 'instructions' the 
 following, viz: It would appear that our Country was in a critical 
 situation not only on account of foreign foes and oppressors, but on 
 account of ' Domestic Enemies ' in their very midst, and of these 
 'Domestic Enemies ' the suggestion was that they be required to 
 take an oath of Elegance (Allegiance) to the State, and as to the 
 matter of setting up Continental Government, or a government in- 
 dependent of Great Britain, he was asked to take 'common sense' 
 for his guide, especially such a part of it as was quoted from ' Dray- 
 ton.' " 
 
 It should be understood that " Common Sense " was the 
 name of a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine, who was the 
 author of several articles or writings given to the public 
 a little previous to this time (1775-6), one of which was 
 " Thoughts Upon Slavery," which attracted great attention. 
 He also established in December, 1776, a periodical entitled 
 " The Crisis," which appeared at irregtilar intervals and had 
 great influence in maintaining the spirit of the army and 
 the people. He was a writer of much ability and by his writ- 
 ings helped the revolutionary cause. He was born in Thet- 
 ford, England, and came to this country at the suggestion of 
 Franklin. 
 
 Drayton, from whose writings the " paragraft " was " cited," 
 was born in South Carolina, was a Chief Justice in that State 
 and a member of the Continental Congress. He afterwards 
 wrote a history of the Revolution. 
 
 The Continental Congress had drawn up articles of confed- 
 eration and union, which were sent to the assemblies of the 
 different States, and by them to the several towns for endorse- 
 ment. At a meeting in Sunderland held January 13, 1778, 
 these articles were read and discussed and the town 
 
 " Voted upon hearing the ' articles ' of Confederation together 
 with the advice of the General Assembly that we give our Repre- 
 sentative instructions in that affair taking into consideration the ex- 
 pediency of a confederation and union between the free states of 
 Americy think the necessity of such union was never Grater or 
 more Evident than at this Day Doth not our Salvation Depend upon 
 it all the whole world without this cannot save us but with it we may 
 be safe without the assistance of any we think it a matter of Great 
 Importance that our Country should be saved and that union is the 
 means of Safety and Compact the bond of the union. This may be

 the means of preventing any further attack and our Greater Security 
 if made for to be in preparation for Defence is Defence this will 
 secure against falling to pecies and is the best gard against the Seeds 
 of Discord and Corruption our enemies would so (sow) amongst us 
 whereas to neglect the necessary means of our safety is to invite 
 detraction and criminally expose ourselves to its Raviges and hav- 
 ing penned the thirteen articles of Confederation as Published by 
 Congress finde them to be Good and Salutary and fully answering 
 the above purpose we therefore instruct you Sir that you use your 
 Influence that the Legislature of this State authorize their Delegates 
 to ratify in Congress of the United States the said thirteen articles." 
 
 From the following, passed April 6th, 1778, it may be in- 
 ferred that our State was at this time forming a Constitution. 
 These are here copied because of the quaintness : 
 
 "Voted to hear and consider the form of a Constitution that we 
 have sent to us for our approval or Disapproval." 
 
 At a later meeting the following vote was passed, viz : 
 
 " Voted that we send a member to the Convention to be holden att 
 Cambridge on the first Day of Sept next in order for the forming a 
 Constitution for this our State " " Voted and chose Dan''. Montague 
 to sit in the Convention." 
 
 By a later vote it is noticed that he was paid eighty-two 
 pounds sixteen shillings for that service. 
 
 In acting upon matters in town meeting we cannot learn 
 that there was any opposition to the passage of measures for 
 the support of the war. If there was it does not show itself 
 upon the records. The vState was at this time calling upon 
 the several towns for soldiers for the continental service, 
 and for such quantities of provision, and for horses for army 
 use as was each town's proportion. 
 
 "In October 1779 voted that we give the six Soldiers that are 
 destined to Cloveric (Cloverack a town situated between Pittsfield 
 and Albany) the sum of forty shillings per month for the time they 
 are necessarily employed in the service : as wheat att fore shillings 
 per bushel, rie at three & Indian corn att two, the said soldiers to 
 return their wages to the town." 
 
 It may be noted that in the calls for men, there were calls 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 131 
 
 for times longer or shorter as were needed. Some were 
 wanted but for a few days at a time, for some particular pur- 
 pose. 
 
 " At a meeting held March 9, 1778, A Committe, viz : Jedi- 
 diah Clark Phineas Graves Cap^ Montague Cap* Leonard & 
 Giles Hubbard were chosen a ' Committee of Correspond- 
 ence Inspection and Safety' " At a later meeting the same 
 month " Doct. Wavers Lieut Hubbard & Sam Graham were 
 added to this Committee." 
 
 At a meeting held during the same year provision was 
 made " for providing clothing for the Continental Soldiers." 
 
 " Aug. II, 1779 Voted that the Committee that was appointed in 
 June Last Past be desired forthwith to proceed to the business that 
 they were chosen, that is to adjust the cost the inhabitants of this 
 town have been att in Service and in hiring Continental Soldiers in 
 the present war. The Committee is as follows: that is Cap^ Mont- 
 ague Cap' Hubbard, Lieu'. Alexander, Lieu' Hubbard, Cap' Leon- 
 ard, Phineas Graves, Asa Strong." 
 
 At a meeting on December 6th, 1779, "Voted that we im- 
 power the present assessors to assess the Inhabitants of this 
 town in the sum of Sixty pounds that was voted June 24th, 
 1779 to the three Continental Soldiers namely Joseph Mart- 
 chants Jr. John Tuttle & Eben Whitney which Sixty pounds 
 is to be paid in Wheat at six shillings pr bushel rie att fore, 
 Indian corn at three shillings pr bushel, or neat Cattel in the 
 same proportion. The above rate is to be made according to 
 the tenner of the above Sixty pounds" " Lieu' Hubbard & 
 Mr. Lem' Dilino were chosen a Committee to receive the 
 grain." 
 
 It should have been stated before that as " rates " (taxes) 
 were to a large extent paid in grain, a committee was fre- 
 quently chosen to receive the grain, and because " Mr. Lem- 
 uel Dilino " was centrally located he was often chosen as one 
 of the committee to " receive the grain." It is most likely 
 that at certain times considerable quantities of grain would 
 be in store. In one sense farm produce was used as a circu- 
 lating medium. Individuals paid their taxes with grain, 
 which was used to pay the minister's salary and other town 
 charges. A little while before the death of Mr. Lemuel 
 Delano (the great grandfather of Jesse Lemuel Delano the 
 
132 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 present occupant of the old parsonage built in 1717, which 
 has been owned by the Delano family ever since), in making 
 repairs upon the back part of the house in 1 791, he built two 
 large grain bins, capable of holding 150 bushels each, both 
 of which remain now where built and are called " the town 
 grain bins." They were built in the chamber for greater 
 safety. 
 
 March 6th, 1780, "Voted Maj Whitmore be appointed to 
 sit in the Convention to be held in boston of the fift day of 
 Janr. next to frame a new Constitution." 
 
 At a later meeting "Voted to give Maj Whitmore one 
 hundred and twenty six pounds & six shilling for attending 
 the Convention." 
 
 March 27th, 1780, "Voted Simon Cooley Jedidiah Clark 
 Giles Hubbard Benoni Graves and John Rowe, a Committee 
 for equalizing and adjusting the expense the town has been 
 at in the present war." 
 
 At the same meeting " Voted Daniel Montague Lemuel 
 Dilino mials (Miles) Alexander a Committee to proceed and 
 make a plan of adjustment for the above purpose." 
 
 The " plan of adjustment " was necessary in order to adapt 
 the continual " depreciation of the currency " to the date 
 when the payment of those in service of the town in either 
 civil or military service was due. 
 
 This matter of " Depreciation of the Currency " was troub- 
 ling the State authorities and after wrestling with the prob- 
 lem some time the House of Representatives of Massachu- 
 setts Bay finally passed the following preamble and resolu- 
 tion, January 11, 1780, viz: 
 
 " Whereas the General Assembly of the State have engaged to 
 make good to the Officers and Soldiers of the States Quota of the 
 Continental Army the wages first promised to them taking for a 
 measure the prices fixed to the necessaries of life in a Law of this 
 State intitled an Act to prevent Monopoly & Oppression made in 
 the year of our Lord 1777 " 
 
 "Therefore, Resolved that the Committee of this Court who have 
 been appointed to settle and adjust the Balance due to each officer 
 and Soldier of this States Quota aforesaid respectively. Be and they 
 are hereby directed to take for their rate, in Ascertaining the value or 
 depreciation of the Current money of the several periods of the pay- 
 ments which have been made them and of the Balance due to them

 respectively on the first day of this current January in current 
 Money " 
 
 The committee also drew up a schedule calculated upon 
 an average of " the rates of depreciation as computed by the 
 prices of Beef Indian Corn, Sheeps wool & Soal Leather they 
 being the articles agreed upon by this Court and the Com- 
 mittee of the Army to make said calculation upon." 
 
 The schedule or table contained the prices of the four arti- 
 cles of farm produce named above, for each month of the 
 three 3'ears from January i, 1777, to January i, 1780, and in- 
 cluding the last named month, viz, January i, 1780. I will 
 give only the amount of depreciated ctirrency that one dol- 
 lar in silver or gold would buy on the first day of January 
 in each of the four years named, and including April, 1780, 
 but will omit the prices given for the four articles of farm 
 produce named which are found in same schedule : 
 
 On the first day in January, 1777, one dollar in silver or gold 
 would buy $1.05 of Depreciated Currency. 
 On the first day of January 1778, $3.25 
 
 " " " 1779, $7-42 
 
 " " " 1780, $29.34 
 
 " April, 1780, $40.00 
 
 It must be understood that the above schedule for adjust- 
 ment of prices was passed and became a law, to which all 
 business transactions within the periods named must con- 
 form. 
 
 We judge that the price which the town of Sunderland 
 agreed to pay for wood for the 'minister by their vote of De- 
 cember 4, 1780. which will be seen later, was not strictly in 
 conformity to the above table. 
 
 "June 22, 1780 Voted that we are willing to come into some 
 method to procure seven men to go into the Continental Service for 
 the term of Six months" 
 
 "Voted that the town give those men that go into the Continen- 
 tal service and serve six months Three pounds in Silver or Gold per 
 month or wheat or rie or Indian corn or neat Cattle at Silver money 
 price, and three hundred pounds bounty ; the town draws their 
 wages they have the time of Service." 
 
 A vote similar to the above was passed at a previous meet- 
 
134 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND, 
 
 ing- as to the wag^es of those in service. It would appear 
 that the town paid them the sum voted and the bounty as 
 their wages if they were allowed them by the State, and thus 
 guaranteeing them their pay for service. 
 
 The period which is being considered now was an impor- 
 tant as well as a critical one for all the patriots. Town meet- 
 ings were held quite often and the business transactions 
 were almost all relating to providing men and means for the 
 war, as will be seen from the votes transcribed from the 
 records. 
 
 "June 26, 1780. Voted to instruct and empower the present 
 assessors to Tax the Town Twenty one hundred pounds which was 
 a bounty granted to seven men they procured to go into the Con- 
 tinental Service and put it into the next ' State rate.' Voted that 
 the Assessors tax the Town Three hundred pounds for milage money 
 and put it into the next rate." 
 
 " July ist. 1780. Voted that we give the same sum to two men to 
 enlist into the Continental Service for the Term of six months as to 
 those others that was procured for the same Service they having the 
 time to count for them as the others." 
 
 The following week : 
 
 " Voted that we will give the three eight months men that will en- 
 list into the Continental Service for three months the sum of one 
 hundred & fifty pounds bounty and one pound a month addition to 
 their wages in Silver or Gold or Wheat or rie or Indian Corn or neat 
 Cattle to that value of Silver they having the time Count for them." 
 
 "Voted that those that 'voluntarily enlist' into the Continental 
 Service for three months by Saturday the Eighth Day instant by 
 twelve o'clock shall be entitled to the privileges in the vote forth 
 above." 
 
 "July 14th. Voted that we give those men that are wanting to 
 fill up our quota of the malitia men that are required of us for three 
 months and do perform the three months service an equal bounty 
 or hire as we do those who have already enlisted into that service." 
 
 "Voted Lemuel Dilino David Sprague and Doc' Dickinson a Com- 
 mittee to procure three horses for the Continental Service Accord- 
 ing to a Resolve of the General Court." 
 
 "At a meeting held Sept. 4th, 1780 for the purpose of electing a 
 Governor, Lieut Governor, and persons for Councillors and Sena- 
 tors, John Hancock received fifty votes all the votes there were 'cast ' 
 and the record says 'was unanimously elected." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 136 
 
 "October i6, 1780. Voted Capt Leonard and Capt Montague a 
 Committee to procure the Beefe Required of the Town by a Resolve 
 of the General Court of Sep 25, 1780." 
 
 " Voted that we will raise a tax of four thousand pounds imme- 
 diately for the purpose of purchasing the Beefe that is required of 
 us at this time." 
 
 "Voted that the Assessors make the rate to pay the above s^. tax 
 upon the last list with only making such alterations as they think 
 best." 
 
 "Voted that the Assessors shall lay one third of the above tax on 
 the polls." 
 
 "Dec. 4th. 1780, Voted that we will give Seventy two Dollars a 
 cord for wood for Mr. Ashley and the School." 
 
 " Voted that we will give twenty four Dollars a day for work on 
 the highways from the middle of March to the middle of October 
 and Eighteen dollars a Day for the rest of the year." 
 
 So many men were being called for for army service that 
 it was becoming more difficult to furnish men. 
 
 One great trouble seemed to be that the men already called 
 for had been engaged for too short a term. So far as can be 
 learned there was no shirking from the endeavor on the 
 part of the town to supply both men and means according 
 to requirements. The matter of furnishing " Beefe " as called 
 for by the authorities was found to be no easy task, and fre- 
 quent town meetings were necessary to do this, 
 
 "Dec. 21, 1780 Voted that Cap'. Leonard Lieu* Hubbard L\ 
 Alexander Cap' Montague Mr. Dilino be a Committee to see if they 
 can procure the six men required of us and agree with them accord- 
 ing to their best discretion." "Voted that the Committee be di- 
 rected to make inquiry what method other Towns take to procure 
 their Soldiers and to see if other Towns are willing for a County 
 Convention and if they are, then to forward the same." "Jan. 10, 
 1 781 Voted Cap' Leonard Mr. Lemuel Dilino Cap' Montague be a 
 Committee to procure the beefe that is required of us by Resolve of 
 Court Dec. 4 1780." 
 
 The town treasurer's book contains records of transactions 
 which are characteristic of that time, and which would puz- 
 zle the accountants of our country towns at the present day. 
 The accounts of vState and town taxes, or " rates " as they were 
 then called, bear marks testifying to their being paid in 
 
136 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 " Silver," " beefe " or other farm produce, the price of which 
 was fixed by Statute as compared with silver. Under date 
 of 1780 may be found the following, viz: "The overplus of 
 the Silver rate committed to Philip Russell Sept. 18 1780 
 27;^-o-8d-i." January i, 1781, the treasurer says "received 
 the same in full ; in beef." But what was this " overplus?" 
 When the several towns of the State were required to assess 
 a tax upon the polls and estates of the town, upon a valua- 
 tion previously made, and it was found afterwards that this 
 valuation was too high on account of removals from town, 
 the amount of tax accruing from such excess of valuation 
 was accredited to the town by the State for the following 
 year and called " overplus." Is that a correct explanation ? 
 
 "Oct. 1780 The beef Rate committed to Philip Russell was 2168^ 
 
 lOS." 
 
 "The town have received this in full in beef" says the 
 town treasurer: " 2168 £ worth of beef." Either beef, silver 
 money or some farm produce, was received of the tax payers 
 in taxes. It matters little which form of " currency " was 
 used, so long as the soldiers got their beef, and we have 
 reason to believe that they did ; as we read in one campaign 
 of this date they were able to get little but beef to eat. On 
 the same page of the treasurer's book as the above we find 
 the following, viz: 
 
 " Octr. The beef rate, committed to Jonathan Ballard Constable 
 1844^ 2S Od." 
 
 "The 'overplus of a State Rate' Committed to Jonathan Ballard 
 Jan. 3r. 1781 is 137^^ 7s Od." 
 
 " 1781. The beef rate committed to John Montague Collector 
 is 217;^ IIS 6d." 
 
 "To be paid in bills of new emission 5^ Od." 
 " The Rev. Mr. Ashley's rate " 
 "to be paid in the same currency 67^ 14s 2d. 
 "The soldiers Rate to be paid in Silver committed " 
 " John Montague to be paid in old Continental money is 9189^ 13s " 
 " A County tax of 19^ los 4d is to be reduced out of the " 
 "above rates," 
 
 It should be understood that " town rates " and " State 
 rates " meant the same as " town taxes and State taxes." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 137 
 
 Sufficient has been said about the different kinds of currency 
 used to pay taxes, but it must be remembered that the towns 
 and State were paying large sums of money in carrying on 
 the war and in support of the Government, and that the State 
 was at this time trying to restore the depreciated currency 
 by calling in certain amounts for redemption and cancella- 
 tion. 
 
 It is well known that in the early days of our New Eng- 
 land towns, the "rates" were made under different heads. 
 There was the " minister's rate," the " soldiers rate," the 
 " State rate," &c, &c., and further that there was but verylit- 
 I tie money in circulation, and to a very large extent minis- 
 f ters' salaries, store bills and other debts were paid in farm 
 produce ; there was then no need of a town treasurer, and 
 the treasurer's book, from which quotations have been made, 
 was the first book of the kind used in Sunderland, was " hand- 
 made " in 1762, with a "paste board" cover and cost 2s, 46., 
 L. M., and contained the following superscription written on 
 the first pag^e :

 In further explanation of the condition of the finances it 
 may be said that at this time (1780), inasmuch as Congress 
 had not sufficient credit to borrow funds to carry on the war 
 and support the Government (for at this time, although the 
 colonies had declared themselves independent, yet it was not 
 absolutely certain they would succeed), and before the sev- 
 eral States had become sufficiently organized to enforce the 
 collection of taxes, Congress issued what were called " bills 
 
138 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 of credit," which bills were issued in larger amount than 
 needed for a circulating medium. Not having sufficient 
 basis to rest upon, these bills depreciated in value, as has 
 already been shown. To redeem them a new emission based 
 upon gold and silver must be issued. In order to do this 
 the several States were called upon to raise by taxation of 
 the polls and estate of the inhabitants, a sufficient amount to 
 redeem the old bills and pay the interest on the new emis- 
 sion which was pledged in gold and silver. Each of the 
 several States was therefore called upon to tax themselves 
 what would be the State's proportion of the bills called in. 
 The first assessment of this State amounted to five million 
 six hundred thousand pounds lawful money. One-half of 
 this sum was required to be paid into the State treasury on or 
 before the twentieth day of the following December (the as- 
 sessment was ordered in September previous), and the re- 
 maining half on or before the twentieth day of March, 1781. 
 The taxes were to be paid in specie or in the new emission 
 of bills, or forty dollars of the old bills in lieu of one dollar 
 in specie, or of the bills of the new emission. The new bills 
 were emitted at no greater rate than one dollar of the new to 
 twenty of the old bills brought in and destroyed. The new 
 bills bore interest at five per cent pledged by Congress and 
 were redeemable on the 31st day of December, 1786, "with 
 Spanish milled dollars." In order to establish funds to effect- 
 ually secure punctual redemption of the bills issued on the 
 credit of this State and for the payment of interest, the General 
 Court further enacted and granted a tax of seventy-two hun- 
 dred pounds each year for seven successive years, including 
 that year, to be levied on the polls and estates of the State. 
 The State further specified the articles which would be re- 
 ceived in payment of taxes and fixed the value of these arti- 
 cles as follows : 
 
 "The several species of gold and silver coin current in this State 
 before the present war and at the rates they then passed, or of un- 
 coined silver of sterling alloy at six shillings eight pence per ounce, 
 or in uncoined gold of like alloy at one pound one shilling and four 
 pence an ounce, or in good merchantable codfish at twenty four 
 shillings per quintal, Indian corn at four shillings per bushel, rye at 
 six per bushel, wheat at eight shillings per bushel, wheat flour at 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 139 
 
 twenty four shilling per hundred weight gross, beeswax at one 
 shilling eight pence per pound, pork at four pounds per barrel, beef 
 at two pounds eight shillings per barrel, potash at per ton, pearlash 
 of the best quality sixty pounds per ton, hemp at three pounds per 
 hundred weight ; refined bar iron at three pounds, forty shillings 
 per hundred weigh, bloomery iron at thirty shillings per hundred 
 weight, flax well dressed ten pence per pound; provided that all the 
 articles be good and merchantable, and of the produce or manufac- 
 ture of this State." 
 
 The above prices were fixed for only during the war. 
 After the war would be finished and during the term of 
 years remaining of which the taxes are laid, the prices were 
 to be fixed by the yearly sessions of the General Court. 
 
 By an enactment of 1780, the assessors of the several towns 
 of the State were required to lodge with the secretary of the 
 State a true list of all the ratable polls and estates in the 
 Commonwealth in very much the same form as that required 
 of them now. Some articles of estate in their list are not 
 seen now. We notice barrels of " cyder," gallons of rum 
 and other distilled liquors and articles of merchandise and 
 of farm produce not seen now. 
 
 At a meeting held in April, 1780, a committee was chosen, 
 viz: 
 
 " Cap' Leonard, Cap' Montague and Ser' Moses Clark to agree with 
 the six months men respecting the price of neat cattle that may 
 offered them as a part of their wages." 
 
 "July 18, 1 781 Voted Mr. Phineas Graves moderator to lead 
 said meeting." "Voted that we comply with Resolve of (!)ourt of 
 June 22d. 1 781 with respect to a supply of beef for the army." 
 
 " Voted we will raise the money by rate to secure the beef." 
 
 '* Voted we will raise fifty pounds silver money to purchis the 
 beefe and make the rate on the list of last year," 
 
 "Voted Lieu' Dilino, Cap'. Leonard, Martin Cooley, be a Commit- 
 tee to produce the beef aforesaid." 
 
 " Voted that we will, pay for the clothing that is required of us at 
 the beef rate." "Voted Lieut Dilino, Capt Leonard, Lieut Alex- 
 ander, a Committee to procure the men." 
 
 " Voted we will give the soldiers forty shillings a month and ten 
 dollars bounty a peace the forty shillings is old way as wheat at 
 forty shillings, rie at three, and corn at two shillings per bushel, for 
 those that enlist and Do three months service." 
 
140 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 "Voted Dec. 3, 1781 we have the above said bounty put in the 
 above said beef rate." " Voted we allow a pair of Shos (shoes) to 
 each Soldier in addition to their bounty of ten dollars." 
 
 Notwithstanding the large amount of money raised by 
 taxation, the town was inclined to pay its debts, as the fol- 
 lowing rate shows, viz : 
 
 "Voted Cap' WhitmoreCap' Hubbard Simon Cooley Elisha Smith 
 John Rowe be a committee to see what the State of the Town Debts 
 are in respect to the Currency." 
 
 " Voted we impower the assessors to assess the town in a sum 
 sufficient to pay the Town Debts that are pastor allowed." 
 
 "Voted that those persons that are behind in John Montague's 
 Continental Rate shall pay up the same in silver money at the Com- 
 mon Exchange, one silver dollar, for seventy five Continental Dol- 
 lars." 
 
 That beats the requirements of the Stattite, for the rate of 
 depreciation had been established by law at one silver dol- 
 lar to forty Continental dollars. By the following vote it 
 seems that some tax payers had paid their taxes before the 
 rate of depreciation had been established by law, and there- 
 fore the town hoped to get a consideration from such as an 
 act of justice, viz : 
 
 "Voted Lieu' Dilino, Daniel Graves, Capt. Leonard, be a Com- 
 mittee to see if they can get a consideration of some men who had 
 paid their rates after Continental money had done paying." 
 
 What was meant by "John Montague's Rates" was the 
 Continental rate committed to John Montague, collector, as 
 distinguished from beef rates or any other rates. 
 
 To show the mixed condition of the finances of the town, 
 the following is copied from the treasurer's book already 
 noticed, viz : 
 
 "John Montagues beef bill together with 
 
 Mr. Ashleys is 271^ 13s 8d 
 
 " Dec. 4, 1781, Reckoned with John Montague Constable 
 & Due New Emission 8^ is 2d 
 
 Silver money 3^ is 3 
 
 and ballanced the old Continental Rales after he has paid the sev- 
 eral bills. John Montagues General bills 
 or order in the old Continental money 7356^ 14s Od." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 141 
 
 It has been the purpose of the writer to show the position 
 and effort of Sunderland in the " War of Revolution " and 
 also the mixed and unsettled condition of all trade business 
 and barter in New England during this period. In doing 
 this the attempt has been made to show some of the causes 
 for the depreciating values of the circulating currency called 
 " bills of credit." In doing this no allusion has been made 
 to the emission of " bills of credit " by our State Government, 
 which took place repeatedly, although it was contrary to the 
 English authorities. But the Massachusetts Bay Colony 
 cared but little for the royal edicts, all her actions having 
 been revolutionary since the battle of Lexington. The emis- 
 sions of the Massachusetts " bills of credit " have not been 
 mentioned for the reason that one set of such bills sufficiently 
 explained the condition of the currency. The Massachusetts 
 " bills of credit " came to be of corresponding value with the 
 " Continental." 
 
 John Fiske in his histor}'- of " The American Revolution," 
 says : 
 
 "During the Summer of 1780 this wretched 'Continental' cur- 
 rency fell into contempt." ''As Washington said, it took a wagon 
 load of currency to buy a wagon load of provisions." "At the end 
 of the year 1788, the paper dollar was worth sixteen cents in the 
 northern states and twelve in the south." " Early in 1780 its value 
 had fallen to two cents and before the end of the year, it took ten 
 paper dollars to be worth a cent." " In October Indian corn sold 
 wholesale in Boston at $150. a bushel, butter was $12. a pound. Tea 
 $90, Beef $8, Coffee $12. and a barrel of flour cost $1275. Samuel 
 Adams paid $2,000. for a hat and suit of clothes." 
 
 " Money soon ceased to circulate, debts could not be col- 
 lected, and there was a general prostration of credit," and 
 the expression " Not worth a Continental," seemed to be 
 based upon fact. 
 
 When the town of Sunderland voted to add a pair of shoes 
 to the bounty given to her soldiers, they were adding quite 
 an amount to the soldier's pay. 
 
 The following is a list of natnes of Sunderland men, of the 
 fact of whose service in the Revolution there is no reason- 
 able doubt. There are others who may have served, and the 
 investigation now in progress at the State House may bring

 A peculiar phase of the service of the soldiers of the Revo- 
 lution, and one not always understood, was the short terms 
 of service of many of the soldiers. It must be borne in 
 mind that there was at that time no regular army, no militia 
 in the sense in which that term is now understood. The 
 colonists who enlisted entered the army for the performance 
 of a specific purpose, a single campaign, often, and when that 
 was over, returned to their homes to re-enlist when the next 
 emergency arose. Nothing will better illustrate this phase 
 of the military life of the Revolutionary soldier than the fol- 
 lowing affidavit which has fortunately been preserved, and 
 which while it sets out only the service of the particular indi- 
 vidual, typifies the conditions prevalent during that period : 
 
 War Service of Caleb Hubbard. 
 
 I, Caleb Hubbard of Sunderland in the Commonwealth of Massa- 
 chusetts make and subscribe the following declaration: 
 
 That I was born in Sunderland aforesaid at the place where 1 now 
 reside on the 23d. day of April, A. D. 1754. In the autum of 1774 
 I enlisted as a minute man to be ready at a minute's warning in case 
 of any emergency. This was under the authority of the Provincial 
 
144 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Congress of Massachusetts so called. Two Regiments of British 
 troups were then quartered in Boston. I with others hired a British 
 deserter to instruct me in the use of fire arms during the autumn 
 and winter following. On the alarm of the Battle of Lexington the 
 19th of April 1775 1 left my home and repaired immediately to head 
 quarters at Cambridge in thevicinity of Boston and enlisted in Capt. 
 Noahdiah Leonard's Company and Col. Benjamin Ruggles Wood- 
 bridge's Regiment to serve on ist. of January following 
 
 On passing Charleston Neck the Company I was in were fired upon 
 by the British from a floating battery in Mennissimet ferry place, 
 and a British seventy-four man of War lying between Boston and 
 Charlestown and from Copp's Hill in Boston, which fire broke the 
 Company, some run one way and some the other, I with others 
 went forward. As I ascended the hill I saw Col. Gerrish hiding 
 himself behind a cock of hay. This circumstance 1 was called 
 upon and did testify to before a Court Martial on his trial for 
 cowardice. I did my duty on the hill that day and returned to Cam- 
 bridge with the rest of the Army. During this Summer the British 
 sent a party and drove off some cattle from Letchmore's point 
 which made an alarm in our camp. Col. Woodbridge marched his 
 regiment immediately to the point: being full tide we waded in the 
 water nearly to our middle, The British got off with the Cattle. As 
 soon as they arrived they fired upon us killed one man and wounded 
 others slightly. The man killed belonged to Col. Thompson's Regi- 
 ment. 1 completed the term of my enlistment and returned home 
 the first week in January 1776. Latter part of August 1776 I enlisted 
 in Capt Agrippa Wells' Company and Col Samuel Brown's Regiment, 
 to re-inforce the northern Army. Left my house the first of Sept. 
 was stationed at a place called Mount Hope near Ticonderoga. Did 
 my duty in said Company & Regiment and was dismissed the first 
 of Dec. and did not get home until the seventh. 
 
 At the alarm when Genl. St. Clair was driven from Ticonderoga 
 & Mount Independence on the 6th. of July 1777 I volunteered and 
 met the retreating army at Moores Creek, tarried with the army a 
 few days had leave of absence and returned home, was absent from 
 home 4 or 5 weeks. Tarried at home but a few days when the Bat- 
 tle of Bennington on the i6th. of August 1777 spread a general 
 alarm. 1 again enlisted in Capt. Joseph Slarrow's Company, Col. 
 W^ells Regiment, marched first to Tulls Mills was then appointed 
 Quartermaster-Sergt; Zebina Montague Quartermaster; from thence 
 to Batten Kiln from thence to Fort Edward in Gen. Stark's Division 
 and there continued until Gen. Burgoine surrendered on the 17th. 
 October 1777 making in the whole a few days over fifteen months.

 year of my age. 
 
 Caleb Hubbard. 
 
 War of 1812. 
 
 A single entry is found in the town records, relating to the 
 war of 18 1 2, which we copy entire. 
 
 To be able to "read between the lines" of this emotion- 
 less record one has to recall something of the prejudices and 
 more of the affinities of the Puritan fathers. France was 
 known to them as the race of infidels, intei'course with 
 which would be a " national calamity ; " perhaps the ruin of 
 their plans for a land " delivered " from sin and crime. 
 
 England, in spite of its faults, was still the land of their 
 kinsmen and their ancestors, to which they turned for liter- 
 ature of every sort, and for manufactured supplies of all 
 kinds, particularly of textile goods. Nothing but home- 
 spun stuffs was made in America, and nothing but war and 
 consequent necessity ever drove our ancestors into the im- 
 proved making of woven stuffs. 
 
 Connecticut river towns did not feel the strain of the war 
 to the same degree as those located nearer the sea coast, 
 whose business was interrupted, whose fishermen and sailors 
 were without work. The consequences were, however, 
 equally lasting. 
 
 The red broadcloth cloaks which bedecked the women rid- 
 ing singly, or on pillions behind their husbands, could no 
 more be bought. There were no more " camlet " cloaks for 
 either sex, which served to shed the rain and wind. 
 
 No more " India-cotton printed shawls," the summer wraps 
 of well-to-do matrons. No more brocaded silk blankets to 
 wrap the baby in for its public baptism. 
 
 Even the " sassanet " cambrics, which first rose to enor- 
 mous prices, were " all gone." English cotton goods, coarse 
 and rudely printed, were economized to the extent of getting 
 a gown from five yards, though six had been a necessity. 
 These and ever so many more importations, arrested by the 
 war, never again were resumed. 
 
 In other lines of traffic this war marked an entire overturn 
 of former channels of trade. The colonists, estranged by it, 
 took pride in accepting American tools, though inferior. 
 
146 
 
 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Axes, a tool in every family of prime importance, became 
 thus a new instrument for the woodmen in its quality, 
 evolved by American brains for pioneer service. Milk pans 
 of little value were made somewhere in this section, of red 
 clay and glazed with lead or salt on the inside. The more 
 precious stone pickle jars and jugs came as the result of a 
 long line of after efforts. 
 
 Action of the Town. 
 
 At a town meeting held July ist, 1812 : 
 
 "Voted, that considering the present situation of publick affairs 
 this town sincerely deprecate a war with Great Britain, as it will 
 necessarily bring us into an alliance with France which we wish to 
 avoid as one of the greatest national calamities." 
 
 "Voted that we make choice of Capt. Simeon Ballard a delegate 
 to meet the delegates from the several towns of the old County of 
 Hampshire at Northampton on the 14th day of July inst. to consult 
 upon and devise such constitutional measures as may best promote 
 the blessing of peace to our country." 
 
 "Voted, that we make choice of Capt. Montague Doct. Church 
 and Horace W. Taft a Committee to make a draft of instructions 
 for the aforesaid Delegate agreeable to the above mentioned vote." 
 
 Sunderland in the Civil War. 
 
 In answer to the question, " What part did your town bear in 
 the suppression of the great rebellion?" it maybe .said that 
 the people of Sunderland were tmited in their efforts to do 
 their part in providing men and means, and numerous meet- 
 ings were held to accomplish the purpose while the war was in 
 progress. The whole amount of money expended as a town 
 on account of the war was $12,490, which was nearly four per 
 cent, of the town's valuation at the time. An arrangement 
 was made to establish an agency for the purpose of commun- 
 icating with the soldiers and to forward supplies for their 
 comfort. The whole number of men who enlisted to the 
 credit of the town was eighty-five, which was eight more 
 than the number required of the town by the government. 
 Their names are given below, with the exception of twelve 
 whose names have not as yet been ascertained. We also 
 give the names of eleven men who were natives of vSunder- 
 land, but who enlisted to the credit of other towns.

 Nearly all of the men who enlisted for this town were 
 natives of the town, about half of whom are now living. Of 
 the dead, some died on the battlefield, some in the hospital, 
 and others have since died of wounds and disease contracted 
 in the army. These men are held in grateful remembrance 
 b}" the citizens of Sunderland. Three of the above patriotic 
 3-oung men suffered all the terrors of a rebel prison. Charles 
 Blodgett was taken prisoner (after nearly three years of hard 
 service) and carried to Anderson ville prison, only three days 
 before his term of enlistment would have expired. He was 
 inhumanl}' treated, and rapidly failed and died of starvation 
 and disappointment in about six weeks after his capture. 
 William Farrell after gallantly taking part in fifteen hard 
 battles, was taken prisoner to Libby, and then to x\nderson- 
 ville, and for lack of proper food he gradually lost the use of 
 his limbs and other faculties, and finally his eyesight, and 
 laid himself down and died in the sand. Elliott David Puf- 
 fer (enlisted in the 34th regiment) was taken prisoner by the 
 confederates at the battle of New Market, on the 15th day of 
 May, 1864. He was then in excellent health, but was taken 
 to Andersonville prison pen, and after six months of hard- 
 ship and abuse, exposed to the sun and rain, and worst of all, 
 starvation, he died November 12, 1864.

MISCELLANEOUS HISTORY. 
 
 Town Rates (Taxes), 1722. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 When our ancestors came to this country they brought 
 with them a small quantity of money of England. It was 
 reckoned in pounds, shillings, pence and farthings. That 
 was the kind of money they had been familiar with all their 
 days. The money of ordinary use in business matters was 
 of silver in crowns or half crowns, shillings, ninepence, six- 
 pence, four pence, " four pence half penny " as it was called, 
 and a few smaller coins. A crown was a fourth part of one 
 pound, a ninepence was twelve and a half cents, and four- 
 pence half penny was six and a quarter cents. Having spent 
 much to buy things necessary to bring with them, and then 
 to pay for their passage over, they had little money left when 
 they arrived here, so that there was in the new settlement a 
 great scarcity of real money. 
 
 Thirty or forty years after the Mayflower came over, they 
 began in a small way to coin money themselves. The State 
 of Massachusetts had a small mint established in 1652, which 
 issued small coins of silver of the .same denomination as the 
 English, only not quite so good, for they were lighter, but 
 passed just the same in business transactions in this country 
 as the English coins. 
 
 ^lany people now living remember the Pine Tree coins 
 and the old ninepence and fourpence pieces, which were in 
 quite common use up to 1825. After awhile it became quite 
 a business to buy up old silver in England and bring it over 
 here and have it coined in our mints, because here the coins 
 
150 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 were made lighter and yet passed at same value, and soon 
 there was more New England made money in circulation 
 than Old English, but still, as immigrants continued to come 
 to this country, the amount of money was too small for all 
 wants, and most of it was near commercial centers like Bos- 
 ton, Providence and New York, and very little on the Con- 
 necticut river or in the country towns between Sunderland 
 and Boston. 
 
 The people generally had to pay their taxes in produce of 
 some-kind and bartered produce for everything they wanted 
 to live on. They paid their debts, their laborers, school 
 teachers, ministers, rent, and for groceries, rum and cloth- 
 ing (except what they made themselves) in grain, corn, wheat, 
 rye and oats, &c. This was the time of No Money. Grain was 
 even carted from here to Boston to pay the State tax. Taxes 
 were called " rates^ There was a State rate (State tax), 
 countv rate, town rate, school rate, minister's rate and other 
 rates. The rate for each man in Sunderland was made out 
 by the assessors and given to the constable to collect. There 
 was no town treasurer chosen — there was no need of one, be- 
 cause there was no money. 
 
 In Sunderland the rates were mostly paid in grain or in 
 work on the highways. So the farmers raised large quanti- 
 ties of grain, and grain bins were built in the second floor of 
 the houses universally, but the town grain bins were centrally 
 located, for the convenience of the constables in receiving 
 and paying out the grain. 
 
 In many cases if a man had a large bill against the town 
 for lumber, or labor on highways, &c., which amounted to 
 more than his rate for that year, the constable would agree to 
 " make a turn " with him, by giving him the rates of other 
 men whom perhaps he was owing and in that way many 
 debts would be paid without any money or the exchange of 
 an3''thing tangible. 
 
 The town at its annual meetings fixed the price at which 
 produce should be received by the constables in the payment 
 of rates or taxes. For instance, at town meeting held Decem- 
 ber 3, 1722, it was voted that the price of wheat should be 
 five shillings and six pence per bushel, and corn two shillings 
 and four pence, and oats one shilling and six pence. High- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 151 
 
 way work was also voted to be two shillings and six pence a 
 day in summer and only two shillings a day in winter. 
 
 Here are a few examples of the method of paying town 
 debts and rates without any money. 
 
 In 1728 Dea. Hubbard brought his bill against the town, 
 as follows : 
 
 To 200 Bord (Boards) o 7s 
 
 To 70 foot Slitwork o 4 
 
 To one day sesing (assessing) o 3

 He received his pay as follows :

152 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 presented, and then the necessary amount of the kind of ^rain 
 wanted, at the price fixed by the town, besides the real labor 
 of handling the grain itself. 
 
 Money was so scarce that in the years from 1675 to 1700 
 many of the towns would abate one-quarter or one-third of a 
 man's tax if he could pay it promptly in money. 
 
 Sunderland Bank. 
 
 vSunderland has had a bank established in the town once, 
 and once only, and its business was conducted here for but a 
 few years. 
 
 About 1825 the town was quite a central point for the trans- 
 action of business, especially for the residents of the towns 
 lying to the east and northeast. Mr. Erastus Graves was at 
 the time active as a merchant here, possessing much of what 
 is now termed " hustle " in his nature, and one of the mani- 
 festations of it was the incorporation of the Sunderland bank 
 in 1825, with a capital of $100,000. Among the incorporators 
 appear the names of Erastus Graves, Nathaniel Smith and 
 Roswell Field, and of these Nathaniel Smith was its first 
 president, and Luther Root the first cashier. It began busi- 
 ness in a building erected for its use, which, after the removal 
 of the bank to Amherst in 1831, was converted into a store 
 kept by Samuel Dunlap, and later, into a dwelling house, be- 
 ing now in the ownership of A. J. Fish. The removal of the 
 bank after an existence of six years to Amherst was dictated 
 by purely business considerations, nevertheless it was the 
 occasion of much ill feeling in the town, which vented itself 
 freely, and evoked the proposition to transfer the bridge as 
 well. 
 
 SMALLI'OX. 
 
 The old people of a former generation used to speak of a 
 time when there were cases of smallpox in town, and of 
 their being quarantined, or sent to a house where they would 
 not expose other people to the disease. The following rec- 
 ord alludes to that time as follows, viz : 
 
 " Dec. 20, 1796. Voted thai it is the opinion of this meeting that 
 it is expedient for the selectmen to remove Benj. Cantrail who is 
 sick with the small pox to some convenient place." 
 
tn 
 
HISTORY OP^ SUNDERLAND. 153 
 
 "Voted that we are willing that those persons who have been ex- 
 posed to take the small pox of said Cantrail should inoculate for it 
 and so many others as to make up the number thirty provided they 
 innoculate within three days after the infection arrived in town." 
 
 "Voted that it is the minds of this meeting that John Rovve Jr.s 
 House at Hatchet Brook shall be the place for the above mentioned 
 persons to have the small pox in." 
 
 This house of John Rowe, Jr's, stood very near where the 
 house of M. H. Clark does now. How long the smallpox 
 patients were kept in quarantine we have no information. 
 At a meeting held in March following, a committee was 
 chosen " to determine where the road should go to go by the 
 house." 
 
 There was an impression that at an early period it was not 
 considered the best thing to do to inoculate for smallpox. 
 
 In April i6, 1777, the town votes: 
 
 "That no person who is an inhabitant of this town shall take the 
 infection of the small pox by Inoculation on any occasion unless 
 leave is obtained first of the selectmen." 
 
 Geese. 
 
 During the latter part of the eighteenth and the first part 
 of the nineteenth centuries, Stinderland people possessed 
 many geese. We learn from our grand-parents about their 
 coming to be an intolerable nuisance. We also learn from 
 the town records of votes which the town passed relating to 
 the damages done by the geese. It seems at times that it 
 was proposed to tax them the same as other property. We 
 are told that they were driven in large flocks to the river for 
 watering, and sometimes different droves would meet, block- 
 ing up the highway and causing much trouble. It so hap- 
 pened that one night they all suddenly disappeared. Quite 
 a large number of thein were boxed and set adrift in the 
 river, and it is said that they went cackling down the stream. 
 Others were killed, to be some time after raked out from un- 
 der an old bridge. As a result, the inatter was taken into 
 court in the endeavor to find out and punish the perpetra- 
 tors. But little could be fotmd out, as no one seemed to know 
 anything about it. One young man, upon being examined 
 
154 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 as a witness, said that one night after he had gone to bed, he 
 was wakened by loud talking in the street. He opened the 
 window to listen, but all he could hear was, " one fellow said 
 that Ben Graham's old gander was the toughest customer he 
 got hold of that night." Of course he did not know who the 
 spokesman was. This witness was supposed to be one of 
 the ringleaders of the party. Esquire Delano was asked in 
 court if the witness was a man of truth and replied that he 
 guessed he could tell the truth. 
 
 Mills. 
 
 It was a matter of great importance to New England set- 
 tlers to secure the erection of grist and saw mills at as early 
 a period as possible. The territory now constituting the 
 town of Sunderland is deficient in water power ; Montague 
 and Leverett are more abundantly supplied. 
 
 March 13, 171 5, the committee for Swampfield granted to 
 Daniel Beaman, Edward Allen, Benj. Munn, Edward Allen, 
 Jr., and Nathaniel Frary " the privileges of a Stream in 
 Swampfield upon which there is a saw mill erected called 
 Saw Mill Brook " with the right to cut timber north of the 
 brook, and a grant of thirty acres of land on condition that 
 they should sell to the inhabitants of Swampfield their boards 
 at a certain rate, giving them the first choice. 
 
 The grantees were Deerfield men, and the mill appears to 
 have been upon the stream afterwards called Sawmill river 
 in Montague. The town either did not like this bargain, or 
 had some trouble with the owners, and in 17 16 proposed to buy 
 the mill. Joseph Clary appears to have had a one-third in- 
 terest in the mill in 171 7, and in 1730 the land granted was 
 laid out to Simon Cooley and Daniel Russell, apparently 
 grantees of the original proprietors. Perhaps they were 
 grantees of the land only. 
 
 December 5, 1720, it was voted that the first 40 rights give 
 two days work each " towards the building the grist mill in 
 Sunderland." 
 
 December 12, 1720, "Voted by the town that they will 
 give to Philip Smith and his eyers (heirs) forever now living 
 at Hadley, the stream at the upper end of Little Meadow & 
 £\^\x\. or as money and 20 acres of land near by on condi- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 155 
 
 tion that he erects and maintains a grist mill to be done by 
 ist. Dec. next." This mill was erected and was the first 
 grist mill in the town. 
 
 This was near the home of Mr. Thomas E. Munsell, at 
 North Sunderland, and occupying the privileges and proba- 
 bly the site occupied by him for so many years. 
 
 At the same time, December 12, 1720, Benjamin Barrett 
 and Manoah Bodman had liberty to set up a saw mill on 
 West Dry brook on certain conditions, and Samuel Graves, 
 Senr., " an oate mill or fulling mill on Claybrooke if it be no 
 damage to the grist mill ; and Ebenezer Marsh a saw mill at 
 Hunting Hill brook." 
 
 December 4, 1721, " Benjamin Barrett may set up a fulling 
 mill on the North Branch of West Dry brook on the falls 
 east of the bears den Hill to be done in 12 months." It does 
 not appear that any of these mills were erected. In 1724 the 
 inhabitants were drawing boards from Hadley saw mill. 
 
 January 19, 1725, " Manoah Bodman, Daniel Russell, Nathl. 
 Gunn are authorized to set up a saw mill on Slatestone brook 
 on certain conditions, and to have it done by ist May 12 
 months and to maintain it." This mill was erected and in 
 operation in November, 1726. 
 
 In 1736 there was a sawmill on the brook that runs from 
 " Cranberry pond '' (in Montague). 
 
 December 8, 1737, " David Hubbard is to have the Stream 
 east of Bears den Hill so long as he keeps a fulling mill on 
 said stream." This is apparently the same privilege which 
 was granted to Barrett in 1721, but it does not appear that 
 the fulling mill was built. 
 
 December 4, 1738, "Joseph & Jonathan Field allowed to 
 set up a grist mill on Slatestone Brook if they can agree with 
 the present owners of the saw mill, or if they forfeit their 
 right and the saw mill owners may have the Philip vSmith 
 privilege." The old grist mill was apparently not then in 
 operation. 
 
 Fulling Mill. 
 
 It has been doubted whether there was ever a fulling mill 
 in town, but the following recorded vote strongly indicates 
 that there was one, viz : 
 
156 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 " Dec. 4th, 1775 Voted that we are willing to let the piece ot 
 town land that lies east of Mr. Whitmore's Fulling Mill." 
 
 A previous vote passed May 8th, 1772, is to the same 
 point : 
 
 "Voted, that the five acres of land that the town voted condition- 
 ally to David Hubbard for his encouragement to build and keep up 
 a fulling mill for the use of the town, said Hubbard not fulfilling 
 the conditions of said vote the land now is the towns property and 
 not Hubbards'." 
 
 It appears from the record that there had apparently been 
 some controversy in regard to the ownership of the land; 
 and an attorney had been consulted, hence the above vote. 
 
 Another vote seems to point in the same direction : 
 
 "Voted that we make choice of Col. Whitmore, Melzar Hunt and 
 Phineas Graves a committee to rebuild the fulling mill bridge or re- 
 pair it as they think necessary." 
 
 If there ever was a fulling mill in town it was, most 
 probably, at the brook at Mr. Munsell's. 
 
 The town at another time granted the right to build a 
 fulling mill upon the brook east of Bears den, which was the 
 brook where the saw mill of Mr. Ansel C. Delano formerly 
 stood. But there is no proof that the mill was ever built. 
 
 Manufacturers of Potash. 
 
 Probably none of the present generation has ever heard of 
 the manufacture of potash in Sunderland. When it was the 
 custom for merchants to take in all kinds of produce in pay- 
 ment for goods, Nathaniel Smith, who had a store a little 
 north of his dwelling hotise, the present hotel, received ashes 
 as " store pay," as well as lumber, shingles and everything 
 else. He then manfactured potash out of wood ashes. His 
 buildings .stood near the lower end of his lot, on the knoll be- 
 low the house of Danl. Moynihem, and 60 years ago the knoll 
 was called " I*btash island." Hence the following vote of the 
 town : 
 
 "Dec. 6, 1790, Voted that we will allow Nathl Smith liberty to lay 
 his wood in the lane against his potash houses provided he will cut 
 it up seasonably and lay it up against the fence." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 157 
 
 t 
 
 It would seem that at this time the town acted as a "Vil- 
 lage Improvement Society." The following vote indicates 
 this : 
 
 "That we will allow people to occupy six feet in width on the 
 street adjoining their front with sleds, carts & timber." 
 
 It was the custom in those days to store such articles in 
 the street. Records of votes passed at previous town meet- 
 ings may be seen, which instructed the selectmen to clear the 
 street of all incumbrances. It was at that time that the 
 street then called " river lane " was quite full of lumber of all 
 kinds, including shingles, which were brought in from North 
 Leverett and the " Grant " (Erving's Grant), cither as " store 
 pay " or to the merchants for shipment down the river. This 
 was the time when Sunderland was a " Sea Port" town. 
 
 Tan Yards. 
 
 We have the testimony of some of our oldest inhabitants 
 that there were at two different periods two tan yards, but 
 both owned by the same individual, viz., Gideon Henderson. 
 The location of the first was in the yard in front of the barn 
 of Charles F, Clark ; the second, in the yard in front of the 
 barn of John R. Smith, to which water was conveyed for use 
 in the tan vats in pipes running from springs in the hill 
 east. 
 
 Ferry at the Middle of the Town. 
 
 There are indications of the existence of a ferry across the 
 Connecticut river as early as 17 19. 
 
 It is most probable that there were some requirements by 
 law that a ferry should be sustained by the town. But the 
 town records are silent till 1777, when the record says as 
 follows, viz : 
 
 " Feb. 10, 1777 Voted that we esteem the Privilege of the ferry 
 that is at the middle of the town to be the property of the Town." 
 
 The above vote indicates, ist, that there was a ferry at the 
 middle of the town; 2nd, that the town held the control of 
 the same ; and 3rd, that there was some misunderstanding 
 and disturbance in regard to its operation. 
 
158 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 At a meeting held in December of the same year : 
 
 "Voted that we will give the ferry that is at the middle of the 
 town, that is now set up by the town to Simon Cooley & Capt. Noa- 
 diah Leonard with this Proviso, that they pay the cost that the 
 town has been att in setting up the ferry and become obliged to 
 maintain a good ferry and secure the town from any loss that may 
 arise from their neglect in not performing it as above Described." 
 
 Of the meeting- held February 9, 1778, is the following 
 record, viz: 
 
 " Voted Capt. Montague to lead this meeting. The occasion of 
 this meeting is on account of an uneasiness of a number of the in- 
 habitants of this town on account of the ferry that the Town has 
 lately set up — that they at a meeting in Deer. Last voted that they 
 would give said ferry to Simon Cooley & Capt. Leonard on condi- 
 tions ***** jjnd a number Requesting a Warrant for a meeting 
 of this affair and the above named Cooley & Leonard freely giving 
 up the ferry to the town. Voted that the town take the ferry into 
 their own hands." 
 
 The following year, 1779: 
 
 " Voted that we disapprove Sergt Farrand's keeping a ferry at 
 our ferry place and that we will assist Capt Leonard in Defending 
 our Rite." 
 
 "Voted we appoint Mr. Danl. Montague Cap Hubbard & Dea" 
 Field a Committee to go and warn Sergt. Farrand forthwith to take 
 his bote out of the river & to Desist from ferrying and if he refuse 
 to Do that he must abide the consequences." 
 
 It seems from the above that Sergt. Ferrand, whoever he 
 was, had .set up an "opposition line" by putting in another 
 " bote " at the " town ferry." 
 
 At a meeting held March 14, 1782: 
 
 "Voted that we will sell the use of the ferry at the middle of the 
 town till the last Tuesday in August next to the highest bidder." 
 
 "Voted that the vendue to sell the use of the ferry as afores'' be 
 attended this evening at seven o'clock." 
 
 The next is a record of an adjourned meeting, as follows: 
 " The use of the ferry was sold as afores*" agreeable to y*^ 20th. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 159 
 
 vote to Jonathan Graves for 3^ 3s od which is to be paid inonthly 
 into the Town Treasury." 
 
 The ferry at the middle of the town has already been 
 noticed. This was probably in use from the early settlement 
 of the town till the erection of the first bridge in 181 2. 
 There must also have been a term of five years between the 
 first and second bridges, wherein the ferry was the only 
 method of crossing the river, and at other times when there 
 was no bridge. 
 
 There was also a ferry at the north end of the street, at 
 the place called " the rocks," at which place a ferry was in 
 use more or less in all these past years. This was a favorite 
 place of crossing, especially in high water, as the river is some 
 200 feet narrower here than at the middle of the street, and 
 an eddy formed by the rocks also assisted in crossing at this 
 point, as by the means of the eddy the boat was impelled 
 half of the way over. Formerly there was a yard on the 
 bank of the river of an acre or more, used for the purpose of 
 yarding cattle while waiting to be ferried over the river. 
 
 The ferry at North Sunderland was in use at an early 
 date, as has been shown by the laying out of a road to the 
 river. 
 
 There was also a fourth ferry, at the lower end of Sunder- 
 land meadow, called " Belden's ferry," which was probably 
 in use as early as 1796, when the county road was laid from 
 Leverett to Whately by the court committee for Hampshire 
 county. 
 
 Mr. Joseph W. Russell, recently deceased in Pittsfield at 
 the age of 87, drew the stone to underpin the hotel built by 
 David Stockbridge in Whately from New Salem in 1833, he 
 being then 22 years of age. He drew the stone to Leverett, 
 from thence to Plumtrees in Sunderland, thence across the 
 plain to the Hadley road, thence to the river and across the 
 ferry, called Belden's ferry, to Whately. He was born in the 
 house of his grandfather, which stood about 15 rods south of 
 the house now occupied by Thomas Ahearn. The old cellar 
 hole is about 20 rods distant (westerly) from the now travelled 
 road from Sunderland to Hadley. The road to the ferry 
 passed east of the house, thence running easterly to the 
 great Swamp road. This ferry was discontinued in 1835 by 
 
160 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 the Sunderland Bridge Corporation voting to give the Messrs. 
 Aaron and Reuben Belden free crossing for four years if 
 they would discontinue the ferry, and engage not to let boats 
 be used there. 
 
 Bridges. 
 
 Bridges over the Connecticut river at this place have been 
 particularly unfortunate and short-lived. The first one was 
 built in 1812 and opened to public travel October 6th of that 
 year, with a celebration and great rejoicing. An oration 
 was delivered on the occasion by Horace W. Taft, Esq. It 
 is related that the timber for this bridge was all obtained on 
 Sunderland mountain by Dea. Elijah Hubbard and his sons. 
 This first bridge was carried off by the ice in 18 17. The 
 second bridge, built in 1822, is remembered by many of our 
 citizens. It stood till 1832. Both of the first two bridges 
 were built resting upon wood trestle work, the foundations to 
 which can now be seen in low water. The bridges were 
 both uncovered. The next bridge, built in 1832, was placed 
 upon stone piers, and was thought to be capable of standing 
 forever, almost. This bridge, as well as others before and 
 since, was not placed high enough above the " swelling flood." 
 It was a covered bridge, built upon the X-work plan, similar 
 to the Northampton bridge, built about the same time. It 
 was much weakened by being struck by a floating wreck of 
 Montague bridge, in 1839. This occurred on Sunday, and 
 the commotion which was made in church as the people who 
 were present from the other side of the river were notified 
 of the near approach of the wreck of the Montague bridge 
 and were advised to hasten to the other side, is well remem- 
 bered. The bridge survived the shock, however, but two 
 spans fell the following month (February, 1839,) ^-s Tim Rice 
 was driving a flock of sheep across on the way to market. 
 Succeeding bridges were partially destroyed in 1850 and 1857. 
 In 1857 the bridge was all destroyed but one span. It was 
 rebuilt by Messrs. Harris and Briggs of Springfield upon the 
 Howe truss plan, but fell again in 1869. It was rebuilt in 
 1870, and was finally blown off, carrying Dr. Trow and his 
 horse down with the wreck in 1875. The present iron bridge 
 was built as a free bridge by the county of Franklin and the 
 towns of Deerfield, Sunderland and Whately, in 1877.

 Negro Slavery in Sunderland. 
 
 Most persons in this day have forgotten the fact that negro 
 slaver}^ ever existed in Massachusetts, yet such was the case, 
 and once a negro was owned and held in the town of Sun- 
 derland. 
 
 The following is taken from a paper read by Dea. Phineas 
 Field, then of Charlemont, at an annual meeting of the Po- 
 cumtuck Valley Memorial As.sociation, held in 1879, and is 
 found in Vol. ist of their published proceedings, viz: 
 
 " From statistics furnished by H. W. Taft, Esq. of Pittsfield it ap- 
 pears that Naptha was held as a slave by Joseph Dickinson of Hat- 
 field, who moved to Sunderland in 1720. In 1744 the name of Nap- 
 thalo (Napthali) is found in the list of church members in Sunder- 
 land. (It may still be found in the roll of Sunderland church mem- 
 bership)." 
 
 "In June 1783 the town of Sunderland voted to require the heirs 
 of Joseph Dickinson formerly of this town (then living- in North- 
 field) deceased, to signify to this town whether they are willing to 
 give bonds, or any other way oblige themselves to maintain Naptha 
 Freeman, and report to this meeting, Oct. 4, 1783, the town voted 
 to stand a trial in action commenced against us by Nathalo Free- 
 man, and appointed a Committee to attend to it." 
 
 "March 4, 1793, The town voted that they will not receive Nap- 
 thalo Freeman in order to maintain him, and a committee was chosen 
 to act in the town's behalf." 
 
 "Dec. 9, 1793, the town voted to pay Heman Farman and Benj. 
 (rraves for transporting him to Northfield." 
 
 As a reason why the town of Sunderland required the 
 people of Northfield to support Napthalo it may be stated 
 that Joseph Dickin.son, the owner of the above, had relatives 
 in Northfield who were his heirs, and who were able to main- 
 tain him. Dea. Phineas F'ield's grandfather married Anna 
 Dickinson, a sister of Joseph Dickinson, for his first wife. 
 Therefore, as Dea. Field himself said, a share of Napthalo's 
 support fell to his father. 
 
 There is no record of the town of Sunderland having but 
 one slave, while Northfield, according to Dea. Field's account, 
 had several. A spinster, who seemed disposed to apologize 
 for the sin of a Sunderland man for having owned a slave, 
 has suggested that as he was a bachelor he needed some one 
 to wait upon him. 
 
162 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND, 
 
 Enjoying the distinction of being the sole slave in the 
 town, it is not remarkable that numerous anecdotes have 
 been handed down concerning him, among which are the fol- 
 lowing : 
 
 " He was a great admirer of Whitfield, and often went to hear him 
 preach. This did not suit some of the ' standing order ' and he was 
 reproved for it. In self defence he replied, ' Sabber day, go to my 
 own meeting, week day hoe corn, go to hear separate — — what 
 I'm a min' ter. " 
 
 " Parson Wells of Whately was once lamenting that his preaching 
 did no more good, Naptha responded, 'Don't be discouraged; 
 weak mans may be blessed.' " 
 
 " His discrimination of character was apt. He said, 'Some men 
 love neighbor for heself; But the Bible say, love he neighbor as he- 
 self.' He was also a judge of beauty. Two rival belles once re- 
 quested him to decide which of them was the handsomest. Finding 
 him unwilling to decide for them, they pressed him to give his 
 reason. He replied; '1 am afraid I shall make Rhoda mad.'" 
 
 He was represented as very tall and having great muscu- 
 lar strength. He boasted of lifting the side of a sled con- 
 taining a cord of green wood from the body of a man, with 
 his shoulder, and drawing the man out with one hand, and 
 thus saving his life. Naptha was a great lover of sacred 
 music. He would often sit with his face toward the back of 
 the chair, resting only his toes on the floor, so that he could 
 beat the time with his whole frame, and then sing, using the 
 numerals to measure the meter. 
 
 Plumbtrees. 
 
 About 1739 Lieut. Abner Cooley, born in Springfield, Jan. 
 23rd, 171 2, son of Simon Cooley, who was one of the forty 
 original proprietors of Sunderland, went to the south part of 
 the town, called Plumtrees, to live. This was the first settle- 
 ment there. His fir.st house, probably built upon land which 
 was granted his father, was made of logs. He was jokingly 
 advised when building it " not to put his pins in very tight 
 as he would probably not stay very long," it being then in 
 the woods. 
 
 Very soon after, he bought several tracts of land in the 
 vicinity, the deeds of which, dated one in 1741 and one in 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 163 
 
 1744, are now in the possession of his descendants. In 1758, 
 Abner Cooley built a frame house south of where the brick 
 house now stands, which was built by his grandson, Charles 
 Cooley, and is now owned by his son, George L. Cooley. The 
 old house was moved to the east on what was then the 
 county road from Sunderland to Amherst. The new road 
 running from this point southerly to Amherst was not built 
 till 1823. The old frame house is still standing, although in 
 a different situation. 
 
 The second settler at " Plumtrees" was Isaac Hubbard, Jr., 
 who had lived in a house which he built on home lot No. 
 14, which stood a little south of the house of A. M. Dar- 
 ling. About 1753 or 1754 he went to " Plumtrees" to live, 
 and built a house at the north part of the " Plumtrees " dis- 
 trict, where his son Giles lived later, who was followed by 
 his son Martin and his grandson, iVlanson Hubbard, And 
 about the same time the oldest son of Isaac Hubbard, Jr., 
 Israel, located himself farther south, intending to build north 
 of the " Mohawk" brook, where his great-grandson, Parker 
 D. Hubbard, has had his tobacco field the past few years. 
 Abner Cooley, desiring his neighbor to locate nearer, gave 
 him 10 uteres of land south of the brook, including the site of 
 the present school house. Israel Hubbard built upon that 
 land and for many years kept a tavern there, which was con- 
 tinued by his son Caleb, long known as " Maj. Hubbard's 
 Tavern." 
 
 This is still in existence. The ell part, which extended 
 northerly, and was used for a bar room, was taken away a few 
 years since. In the second story is now shown the double 
 room, once used for meetings of the Masonic order, with 
 Caleb Hubbard's insignia of office, nicely framed, j^et hang- 
 ing there. A company of soldiers who had enlisted in the war 
 of the Revolution were once quartered in these rooms for 
 the night, from whence they proceeded to Belchertown, 
 sending their horses back from Belchertown the following 
 day. Maj. Caleb Hubbard was ploughing in the field north 
 of the brook with a yoke of oxen, and one horse on the lead, 
 when he first heard the news of the conflict at Lexington. 
 He instantly left his oxen, jumped upon the horse and 
 started to the village to enlist. 
 
 Giles Hubbard, a younger brother of Israel, bought quite a 
 
164 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 tract of land north of Israel's land, which was later oc- 
 cupied by his sons Riifus and Martin. 
 
 About the same time that Israel located in Plumtrees, 
 David Sprague and his son Ebenezer, who had been residents 
 in town since 1750, located in the vicinity, building the house 
 afterwards owned by the Wiley family, and more recently 
 by James Ahearn. 
 
 There were other families located in the vicinity who were 
 land holders. One Samuel Montague, (probably the younger 
 Samuel Montague,) owned a farm there ; Aaron Leonard was 
 also a land-owner, but possibly dwelt in Amherst. 
 
 Zacheus Crocker, who was born in Barnstable in 1737. 
 moved to Shutesbury, and later to Plumtrees. He bought a 
 part of the farm of Samuel Montague. He was a man of 
 considerable note in his day. and an influential citizen. He 
 served in the war of the Revolution and received his mili- 
 tary title from being captain of the local militia company. 
 He served the town of Sunderland as delegate to the Pro- 
 vincial Congress held in Boston. In the town records are 
 found the following items : 
 
 "May 17, 1793, "Voted that we will take some measures to pre- 
 vent Capt. Crocker being set off and annexed to Leverett." 
 
 "Voted John Montague Dr. Church and Sergt_Hubbard a Com- 
 mittee to send to General Court declaring the reasons why we are 
 unwilling Capt Crocker should be set off." 
 
 "Voted to direct the aforesaid committee to employ Elisha Root 
 to measure the road from Sunderland and Leverett Meeting House 
 to the Dwelling House of Capt. Crocker," 
 
 He evidently wi.shed to be annexed to Leverett, having 
 become disgusted at being " warned out of town." 
 
 In those days " the right to locate in a town " was only 
 granted by a vote of the dwellers already settled there, and 
 Capt. Crocker, although choosing his residence three miles 
 from the village, had violated or neglected this local law and 
 thereupon received an official town document warning him 
 out of the town's domains. 
 
 This violation of the town's right to grant citizenship is by 
 no means an unusual incident. The town records contain 
 many names of respectable families, who had received like 
 notices. Sub.sequent action did not follow, unless in course 
 
.(^RIST /^ILL AT NO. SUND£RLAND

 of time, the interlopin<^ settler had shown himself unworthy 
 or incapable in neij^hborhood relations. 
 
 But the worthy captain resented his "warning" as a down- 
 right insult. 
 
 In 1796 or 1797 the two brothers. John and I'vbenezer Wiley, 
 came from South Reading, Massachusetts, to Sunderland and 
 located at " Plumtrees." The elder brother, John, lived in 
 town only at intervals and mingled but little in town affairs. 
 At middle age in life, or later, he married Anna Cooley, 
 widow of vSimon Cooley; she died August 21, 18 18. John 
 Wiley died at South Reading in 183-f: They left no issue. 
 Ebenezer Wiley, who married Catharine Dunn of Framing- 
 ham, lived awhile at vSudbury, Massachusetts, after his mar- 
 riage following his trade as a tanner. He had twelve chil- 
 dren, six of whom died in infancy. He built the house, in 
 181 1, where his son John lived till his removal to Amherst in 
 1855. He removed from Amherst to Buckland in 1881, 
 where some of his children now reside. Ebenezer Wiley, 
 2nd, who for many years lived at " Plumtrees," was quite 
 prominent in town affairs, being often elected to town office. 
 He was considered to be of sound judgment in matters of 
 interest to the town; rather conservative in his opinions. 
 He removed to Sunderland Meadow, where he lived the last 
 few years of his life, in the house now occupied by his son 
 Ebenezer. He died March 29, 1888, aged 81 years. 
 
 WiiiTMOREs' Mills at North vSunderland. 
 
 There are two districts at the north part of the town, one 
 called " Whitmores'," or " the Mills," the other " Canada." 
 The term " North Sunderland " embraces both localities. 
 
 About 1774, Daniel Whitmore, with his family, came from 
 Middletown, Ct., and located on the bank of the river in close 
 proximity to the brook called " vSlate Stone brook," which 
 the town records say was " 20 rods south of the southerly 
 line of the town of Montague when that town was set off 
 from Sunderland in 1753." The writer has learned the pre- 
 vious occupant of the house occupied by Daniel Whitmore 
 was John Oaks. It will be remembered that in a previous 
 article in this history where the writer was writing of the 
 
166 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 location of a certain highway, it was said to " commence at 
 John Oaks barn." 
 
 Upon " Slate Stone brook " Whitmores' mills have been 
 situated and running during the last loo years or more. It 
 is learned from the town records that a " Corn Mill " had 
 been built upon this brook at an earlier period than that of 
 Mr. Whitmore's day, which has already been noticed and will 
 appear again in this chapter. 
 
 Daniel Whitmore, first of the line of five generations, and 
 his descendants, have held the water power and adjoining 
 lands to this date. 
 
 From the town records we infer that the first Daniel 
 Whitmore was a man of considerable ability. He was a mag- 
 istrate, was sent as a delegate to the Provincial Congress, as a 
 representative to the " Great and General Court," and was a 
 soldier in the war of Revolution. He was quite often elected 
 to town office, often chosen or appointed a member of com- 
 mittees to decide important cases. In the locality called " the 
 Mills " there never were many families gathered, less than 
 a dozen in all. Fifty years ago there was a hotel kept there, 
 in the house now occupied by the heirs of the late Daniel 
 D wight Whitmore. There was also a postoffice, both now 
 discontinued. A ferry across the river at " the Mills" has 
 been in operation many years. A spot at the brink of the 
 river, accessible only in extreme low water, has been of con- 
 siderable interest to geologists, specimens of petrified fish 
 being found embedded in the rock there. President Hitch- 
 cock of Amherst college was the first scientist to examine 
 and describe them and he collected the remarkable speci- 
 mens there now to be seen in the Amherst college geologi- 
 cal collections. 
 
 A Baptist church and society was formed at North Sun- 
 derland in 1 82 1, and a meeting house built the following 
 year. The congregation at this place includes the Baptists 
 of Montague and Deerfield. This society has an honorable 
 and harmonious existence and its useful career is creditable 
 to all connected with it. 
 
 •' Canada "— " Sunderland Cave." 
 The district which has for a hundred years or more been 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 1G7 
 
 called " Canada " is situated a little more than a mile east 
 from " Whitmores." From whence the name of Canada was 
 taken can not be learned. Many years ago the locality was 
 also called " Back Street." Neither of these names pleased 
 the people living there, but the old title has been retained, 
 nevertheless. It is supposed that the first road connecting 
 the towns down the river with Squakheag (Northfield), ran 
 through Canada. From the first settlement the good char- 
 acter and puritan traits of the people have been recognized. 
 The district has been largely known as the location of the 
 " vSunderland Cave," which is situated in the north part in a 
 spur of Mt. Toby. Caves are very rare in this part of New 
 England, which has made this more widely known. It con- 
 sists of a fissure in the rocky ledge or cliff of considerable 
 dimensions, and easily accessible. It contains no crystalliza- 
 tions nor incrustations, no stalactites nor stalagmites, and may 
 be described as a cavity in the rocky surface. " The ditch," 
 a curiosity near by, probably had the same origin as the 
 " Cave." In the neighborhood of these localities there has 
 long been a controversy affecting the water supply for the 
 mills situated at " Whitmores," the history of which is found 
 in the town records as follows : 
 
 "At a town meeting held March 24th, lyfy, Voted by the town 
 that we will give Philip Smith liberty to make a dam on the stream 
 granted him at the uper end of Litel meadow to wit to make a dam 
 up at the ash swamp near the northwest part of the hill called the 
 bear know! for the preserving of the water for his better supplying 
 the town with grinding Provided it be judged by three indifferent 
 men which the town and he the said Smith shall choose to make adop- 
 tion of that rnator." 
 
 At a later meeting, held October 30, 1738, the town 
 
 "Voted, that we give Rich*^ Scott JoMMckinson Man'' Bodman 
 Jon*^'' Russell owners of a Saw Mill on Slate Stone brook a liberty 
 of the stream w"" y" Gristmill y* Philip Smith now stands to set a 
 Saw mill Provided they will saw upon the same conditions they were 
 before and so long as they have a sufficient mill on s'' stream they 
 may have liberty to y*^ stream and no longer, W"' Scott is one of the 
 Partnier in s'' mill." 
 
 The above vote indicates that Philip Smith had previous 
 to that time built a gristmill on Slate stone brook, and 
 
168 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 now his successors wished to erect a saw mill there. The 
 town records also indicate that there had been a corn mill 
 built at what is now called " Munsells," previously. Phillip 
 Smith was said to be a Hatfield man. It is learned from the 
 records of a vote passed April 2d, 1770, that, although leave 
 had been granted Philip Smith in 17!^ to erect a dam 
 upon the stream coming from Bear Swamp, yet it had not 
 been built at that time. The vote is as follows, viz : 
 
 " Voted that whereas we find in the Sunderland first Book of 
 records page 45 vote 5^'' in the March meeting lyfy the said town 
 gave Philip Smith liberty to erect a Dam on the stream granted him 
 at the uper end of little meadow at a place called the Bear Swamp 
 near the North West part of the hill called the Bear Nole for the 
 preserving of the water for the better supplying the Town with 
 Grinding provided it should be judged needful by three indifferent 
 men which the town and he the said Smith should chose we will 
 now adjoin Philip Smith's Successor, viz.. Elijah Billing the present 
 Miller on said Stream in the choice of a committee agreeable to 
 the vote aforesaid." 
 
 " Voted Jonathan Sawyer Ebenezer Marsh and Nathaniel Gunn 
 be a Committee to go and view the aforesaid Brook and Stream and_ 
 make report to this meeting whether it be necessary that we should 
 erect a Dam for the preserving of the water for the Benefit of our 
 Gristmill." 
 
 It is sufficient to relate further that the aforesaid commit- 
 tee after having viewed the premises as requested, reported 
 to the town that they "considered it absoltitely necessary 
 that the water that comes from said swamp be preserved in 
 order to supply the mill or mills with water that do now 
 stand or shall stand upon the mouth of Slate Stone Brook in 
 said Sunderland." The town accepted the report of the 
 committee and established the location of the dam according 
 to their survey. From a remark made by Mr. Whitmore in 
 later years, wherein he told how much it cost him to place a 
 large stone across the brook for a dam, it is inferred that the 
 dam was not built till after he came to the town to live, or 
 that the large stone was placed there by him to prevent the 
 dam from washing away. The turning of the brook as afore- 
 said has been the cause of much contention between the two 
 neighborhoods. It is evident that, at the time the grant by 
 the town was made for right to turn the water in the brook, 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 169 
 
 the brook and adjacent land was not private property, 
 but belonged to the town. The right to turn the brook was 
 granted by the owner, which would make the title good to 
 present owners. 
 
 Mount Toby and Adjacent IIili.s. 
 
 A portion of the eastern part of the town of Sunderland 
 consists of mountainous territor}', the larger part of which is 
 forest, and furnishes very considerable amounts of wood and 
 timber to the inhabitants for use and sale. 
 
 Part of this forest has been cut over, some tracts more 
 than once within the memory of people now living. It re- 
 quires a period of 40 or 50 years to grow timber of sufficient 
 size to be used for building, or railroad ties or boards. The 
 highest elevation has been called " Toby " from the earliest 
 settlement of the town. There are many hills surrounding 
 Mt. Toby of lesser height, each bearing names which have 
 come down from the early settlers, as " Russell hill," " Bull 
 hill," " Isabel hill," " Nebo," " Bears den " and many others 
 familiar to all residents in the vicinity. Some tracts on these 
 hills having been denuded of their wood and timber, have 
 been prepared for a grain crop by burning, and after a sin- 
 gle harvest the land has been seeded for pasturage, while 
 other tracts which were cut over have been suffered to grow 
 up again to forest. Most of this tract of mountain land 
 seems to be better adapted for forest than for cultivation or 
 pasturage. 
 
 Maple trees formed part of the primeval forest, and groves 
 of them were divided among residents in early times when 
 sugar was a costly luxury ; each sugar place was improved 
 with a rude sugar house and the necessary outfit for making 
 maple sugar. These have diminished in number of late 
 years, owing to the cheaper rate at which cane sugars are 
 furnished. 
 
 Mount Tob)'' has an elevation of 1 100 feet above the sea. 
 It commands an extensive view of the surrounding country 
 fifty miles or more in extent either way from its summit. 
 On the north can be seen Monadnock and Ascutney moun- 
 tains in New Hampshire; Greylock. which is situated be- 
 tween North Adams and Williamstown on the west in Berk-

 The deed of the spring when executed. November 16, 
 1796. was witnessed by Belinda Montague and Abigail 
 Montague, the two eldest daughters of John Montague. 
 
 Previous to the execution of the deed a bond was drawn up 
 and signed by the grantors by which they " bound themselves 
 to each other in the sum of fifty pounds each to be paid to 
 them or their certain attorney." " to well and truly pay what 
 costs which have already or shall hereafter arise in conse- 
 quence of or in any way connected with or related to the con- 
 ve\-ing of said water as mentioned in said obligation," &c.

 ture. The " Rowe Spring." which was at that time pur-

 Lyceum—" The Mysterious Budget." 
 
 Sunderland, like a good many other towns in New E-^. 
 land, of which location this can be said to be characterisiic 
 has at different periods of time supported a lyceum. Per- 
 haps the most notable was the one which was organized in 
 March. 1835. and which issued and published a "Literary 
 Journal " entitled the " Mysterious Budget." Henry W. Taft 
 and Milo H. Smith were the editors and publishers. 
 
 The following is their prospectus which accompanied its 
 first issue : 
 
 " To whom it may concern," 
 "Be it known onto you that certj.:a :r-d:T:^_- - rrr :; . r . :

 formed themselves into an association called the Union Club, ap- 
 pointed the subscribers their agents and editors, and determined to 
 establish a monthly publication to be entitled as the head of this 
 article denotes, the " Mysterious Budget." 
 
 "This paper will (at least such is the intention of the publishers) 
 pursue a straight forward course insensible alike to threats or the 
 proffered bribes of unprincipled and designing men, stand entirely 
 neuter in the political contentions that agitate the world; but freely 
 and fearlessly advocating the cause of honesty Justice and truth. It 
 will be a publication entirely Original where amusement will be 
 blended with instruction; devoted to literature science and the arts, 
 and likewise contain sketches of the principal events that may come 
 under the observation or attention of the editors." 
 
 " Such is the brief outline of what the paper is intended to be, and 
 it is the sincere hope and desire of the publishers that it may meet 
 with such patronage as its importance and necessity demand." 
 
 " On the part of the editors, at least be assured, that nothing 
 that the most assiduous and indefatigable labor can accomplish shall 
 be found wanting." 
 
 " In behalf and by order of the Union Club. 
 
 Henry W. Taft, 
 MiLO H. Smith." 
 
 Their meetings were held weekly for discussion of such 
 subjects as are usually selected by similar organizations. 
 From the report of the meeting held March 4th, 1835, it is 
 learned that the question for discussion was, " Ought cor- 
 poreal punishment to be banished from our common schools." 
 John R. Smith occupied the chair. Brainard Smith opened 
 the debate in the afhrmative and Cincinatus C. Warner in 
 the negative. 
 
 After the discussion of the question closed, which the 
 chair decided in the negative, the society made choice of the 
 following officers: President, Brainard Smith ; vice-president 
 and secretary, Sidney S. Warner ; committee, Francis Frary, 
 John R. Smith. In looking over a copy of the " Budget " 
 the following names are noticed in addition to those already 
 named : Norman H. Marsh, George Field (a son of Roswell 
 Field the hotel keeper), Daniel Rice (who taught the high 
 school the winter of 1835 and 1836). 
 
 The publication of the journal continued one year, when 
 the editors published their farewell to the patrons. Suffice it 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 173 
 
 to say that some well preserved copies of the " Mysterious 
 Budget " are now in the hands of families in town. A copy 
 also can be found in the Sunderland library, which is worthy 
 of perusal. 
 
 Stone Walls and Fences. 
 
 There are but very few people now living who remember 
 when the home lot next south of the meeting house, which 
 at that time included the homesteads now owned by Geo. M. 
 Hubbard, by the heirs of the late Joel Burt, (deceased) and 
 the parsonage lot, were enclosed by a stone wall. On the 
 line of the street was a double laid wall extending from the 
 meeting house to the south side of the parsonage lot (21 
 rods in length), excepting the passages needed for gateways. 
 This front wall was surmounted with flat stones with a 
 smooth top surface, upon which the boys ran back and forth 
 to amuse themselves, and with much dexterity crossing the 
 gateways, which were then " bars" made of boards instead of 
 gates. On the south side of the lot a single wall was laid 
 one half (each proprietor supporting one half of line fences) 
 of the distance to the river. On the north line the proprietor 
 (John Rowe) commenced within six rods of the river and 
 built a single wall his half of the distance to the street. It 
 seems as though the proprietor intended to build a fence for 
 all time. 
 
 The dwelling house now owned by George M. Hubbard 
 was built by Luther Root, cashier of Sunderland bank, in 
 18 18, who married a daughter of John Rowe, he allowing 
 the proprietor $400 for the one acre of land contained in the 
 home lot. The stone wall in front of Mr. Root's lot was 
 used in building the cellar wall for the house and in stoning 
 up the well. 
 
 The remaining stone contained in the front and side walls 
 were sold by Dea. Elihu Rowe, to be used in building the 
 piers of Sunderland bridge in 1832, it being the third bridge 
 built at this place ; the previous bridges had been built on 
 piers or trestles made of timbers. 
 
 It has been said that John Rowe kept his boys out of 
 school the most of one winter in drawing the stone from the 
 mountain for the wall, and that Justin Russell and Era.stus 
 
174 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Pomeroy were employed a good part of the summer, each 
 with a yoke of oxen, in drawing the stone to the bridge. 
 Neither do the younger generation of those living remem- 
 ber the time, which was but a few years since, when all the 
 home lots were fenced with division and front fences, and as 
 was then the custom were depastured in the autumn. The 
 taking away of the fences bordering on the street has added 
 very much to the beaut}' of the village. 
 
 Industries. 
 
 The western boundary of the town of Sunderland extends 
 a length of six miles on the shore of the Connecticut river. 
 It is in this interval a smooth, lakelike sheet of water, desti- 
 tute of any rapids or currents sufficient to propel machinery. 
 The scant number of streams which form on the slopes of 
 Mount Toby and conduct the rains across the level meadows, 
 are not more serviceable for water power than the placid 
 river they feed. There is, of course, no natural water power 
 in the limits of the town, if the inconstant supply for a saw- 
 mill and a grist mill be excepted. 
 
 The industries of the town have been and are, consequent- 
 ly, devoted to the cultivation of the soil, joined to such me- 
 chanic trades as are connected with farming : the raising of 
 .stock, cutting timber and the indoor pursuits of women. 
 
 During the town's early history money was so scarce the 
 domestic trade was entirely carried on without it, neat cat- 
 tle, sheep and grain being used for payment of store bills, 
 taxes and other debts, even including the minister's salary. 
 In the town records may be found lists of the prices at which 
 these exchange payments were received. 
 
 It should be borne in mind that no vilhige was planned 
 which did not include a blacksmith, a carpenter, shoemaker 
 and weaver, and these mechanics accepted their wages in 
 farm produce as other debts were paid. 
 
 The amount of the annual harvests was regulated by the 
 needs and the number of each family. There was no incen- 
 tive to grow an extra supply of corn or hay, for there was no 
 market for it, since every family lived within itself, consum- 
 ing its own products and demanding nothing outside. Their 
 wearing apparel was grown, woven and manufactured entire- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 175 
 
 ly in the household. Their food, though limited in variety, 
 was ample in supply and never withheld from migratory 
 families in pursuit of a new home. Meat raised in their own 
 pastures ; cattle, sheep and hogs were killed in the autumn 
 and salted down for a year's supply. The importance of ice 
 as a preserver of fresh food had not been studied, and fresh 
 meats, to vary their diet, were usually the result of neighbor- 
 hood civility. 
 
 A farmer who held a " killing " in the off months, expected 
 to loan three-fourths, or even more of it, to his neighbors, and 
 to receive it all in kind when their "killings " came off. The 
 carcass of a sheep was a smaller matter and easily obtained, 
 unless wool was awfully scarce, or the Hock a two days' 
 journey away on the hilly pastures of neighboring towns. 
 
 Skins of animals were more economized than to-day. They 
 were made to serve many purposes for which we now use 
 woven stuffs. Besides making their own leather for shoes 
 and harness, there was a constant demand for sleigh robes, 
 (buffaloes had not then been discovered) for skin coats, for 
 rugs and soft wearing furs. Men usually wore fur caps in 
 winter, and the women quilted hoods bound with fur. Squir- 
 rel skins and even rat skins were esteemed. The wife of 
 Deacon Eleazer Warner wore many years a sable cape lined 
 with soft, gray fur, prepared by her own hands, from the 
 skins of rats which a trained cat supplied to its mistress. 
 Calf skin rugs tanned on one side, or only dried, leaving the 
 foundation stiff as a board, were the foot mats of winter ve- 
 hicles. 
 
 It was only for a grand wedding gown, or a minister's 
 broadcloth coat, that money was really a necessity. 
 
 Most farmers practised a rude sort of tanning, using salt, 
 alum and decoctions from the bark of hemlock and oak trees. 
 They applied these in washes and were content with a stiff, 
 clumsy skin for many rough uses. A half tanned cow skin 
 was the wrap which protected many coarse bundles in trans- 
 portation. Tanning in vats was also well understood, 
 though the liquids of the vats differed from those of the 
 present time. Some of their processes required the skins to 
 lie in soak a whole year. In such cases sometimes the de- 
 coctions were changed and sumach alternated with hemlock. 
 
 The cultivation of flax was an absolute necessity. Cotton 
 
170 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 had never been heard of and all clothing was either woolen 
 or linen, and garments were more prized than we can un- 
 derstand. To protect the clothing of men, leather aprons 
 were in constant use ; while the women wore coarse tow 
 cloth aprons or squares, similar to our present coflfee bags, 
 while employed in kitchen work. 
 
 Flax required the best, most friable soil, but the crop could 
 not be repeated on the same land. To raise enough of it for 
 the family manufacture was all the farmer attempted, though 
 the value of the oil expressed from the seed was fully known. 
 If the flax was thickly planted the fibre was fine, the plant 
 was slender and without branches, and seed was scant. Such 
 flax must be pulled by hand, as the fibre of the roots was 
 equal to that of the stem, and every inch of added length in- 
 creased its value. 
 
 It was dried in small bundles and in New England was 
 always rotted on the grass in the late autumn, when dews 
 and fogs were prevalent, and was stored in the outhouses to 
 be hetchelled and scutched in the winter leisure. 
 
 Not until every shred of the woody part had been rotted 
 out and dried and beaten, and the silk threads of the skin 
 had separated into the long, fine hairs, and the tow had by 
 these repeated manipulations been parted into long fluffy rolls, 
 and these shiny stems had become long thread-like sheaves, 
 did the women of the family have any share of work in the 
 crop of flax. Its color in the hanks was that of the clay 
 stones of the river bank, but its strength was simply mar- 
 velous. 
 
 Linen was never made for .sale in New Enarland, though it 
 seems to have afforded a never failing occupation. Many of 
 the old farm houses in the town still boast of their stock of 
 sheets and towels made loo years ago, and there are in exist- 
 ence among the descendants of the Montague family, linens 
 over 200 years of age. 
 
 Flax short and branched, and worth only the oil to be 
 pres.sed from its seeds, was cut with the sickle and threshed. 
 The fibre, never prepared with care, was onlv used for bag- 
 ging and '• bed ticks " to serve as coarse mattresses filled with 
 straw. 
 
 It has been truly said *' the transition from mother-and- 
 daughter power, to water and steam power — was a greater 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 177 
 
 change than people of the present day can comprehend." 
 We moderns have never known the flails and hetchels and 
 brakes, indispensable tools of the flax sheds. Except in our 
 county museums, we never see a flax wheel for spinning 
 thread (either double or single), a " swifts," " reel," a quill 
 wheel, or any other adjuncts of the ancient industry — the 
 huge wheel for spinning wool, entirely different from the 
 flax wheel which " buzzed " from morn till night, long after 
 flax had disappeared, and after the home weaving of woolen 
 cloth had ceased, in order to supply the needed " stocking 
 yarn," but it has finally become silent and passed away to its 
 forever in the garrets and shed lofts. 
 
 So, too, have the looms passed, those cumbrous coops of 
 lumber where the warps were measured ; where the busy 
 shuttles chimed with the chat of cheery girls. 
 
 Theirs were the days when " everybody did their own 
 tinkering," the home-spun days, and they passed away with 
 the home-spun age. Then tailoring establishments were un 
 heard of and the tailoress who cut the new garments after 
 the old, carried the tailor's goose with her from patron to 
 patron in her weekly engagements and pressed and singed 
 her work indiscriminately. Bonnet shops had not been in- 
 vented. Aside from the big calash, which shaded without 
 touching the muslin caps, all who could raise the funds owned 
 a " Leghorn straw," an investment for a life-time. It might 
 be bleached by some woman who had " faculty " 20 miles 
 away and retrimmed, but it never lost its distinction and 
 prestige of being "a genuine Leghorn." 
 
 Boots and shoes were possibly made by a professional " cob- 
 bler," who went from house to house, making in turn for each 
 a year's outfit of shoes for every member of the family. His 
 work was termed " whipping the cat." 
 
 What would the " new woman " say if her outfit of shoes 
 of " cow hide " and " calf skin " (the only shoe leathers of 
 our ancestors) must be shaped and made over a last that 
 served for all the feet of similar length in town, and those 
 leathers to be worn in their natural unshaved thickness? If 
 these shoes were " high tops " they were bound with leather 
 and laced with leather strings. 
 
 Rude as these shoes must have been thev bore witness to 
 
178 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 the superior refinement and intelligence of New England, 
 exceeding that of Holland, where wooden shoes were univer- 
 sally worn and are not yet extinct. 
 
 The skill of dyeing was an open trade, practised in every 
 family, but only upon wool. Mordants for making colors 
 permanent on linen were unknown. The indigo pot had al- 
 most permanent place in every farm kitchen, and the indigo, 
 brought from the East Indies by way of Holland, was the 
 aristocrat of color and of price. Butternuts and walnut 
 browns, saffron yellows, willow greens and croberry reds 
 and purples were home dyes anybody could have if they at- 
 tended to it in season. The knowledge of the barks and 
 roots for dyeing was an accomplishment highly valued among 
 women, and once begun it became a study which grew into a 
 wide acquaintance with not only the dyeing but the medicinal 
 virtues of plants. Consequently every garret became a repos- 
 itory of dried herbs and barks and roots, and every mistress 
 of a household administered fearlessly a line of healing teas 
 and syrups now unknown. 
 
 Among these the sassafras was the only one which acquired 
 a reputation in Europe, where it became so popular that there 
 was danger of its extermination in its native American lo- 
 calities. The medical repute of " Aunt Sibe " and her great 
 skill in yarrow tea, in tansy lotions and all the line of mother- 
 worts and catnips, of witch hazels and yellow dock, was a 
 sore trial to Dr. Church, whose medical diploma and college 
 honors she ignored, if she did not despise. They were con- 
 temporary rivals and Aunt Sibe had the last word, as she out- 
 lived the doctor. 
 
 Dairy Products. 
 
 It must not be forgotten that the whole world is trans- 
 formed by modern developments in transportation. Sunder- 
 land to-day, though no railroad crosses its lands and no 
 steam paddles ruffle its river, is dependent upon outside 
 markets and speedy railroad trains for a large proportion of 
 its income. 
 
 Formerly there was little sale for butter and only trifling 
 transient demand for milk. Every family had its cows, and 
 making butter was only one item of woman's work. If more 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 179 
 
 was produced than was eaten, that was her affair and she 
 disposed of it as she chose or could. The result was the 
 same, it was always her perquisite, and no farmer, however 
 poor, would deign to look at his wife's butter money. Not so 
 with cheese. That was an accumulated product from a herd 
 of cows for a season, and often sold in a single purchase to 
 be transported whenever opportunity offered. The butter 
 was taken weekly at the village store, the price was low and 
 the goods taken in exchange were high, but the merchant, 
 perhaps, made less money than the butter maker, for ice 
 houses and refrigerators had never been dreamed about, and 
 many a rancid roll was dumped into the soap grease. 
 
 Cows were expected to go dry through the winter (and 
 thanks to scant feeding and bleak housing they fulfilled the 
 expectations generally) in order to be fresh " new milch " 
 kine when the new grass appeared at springtime. 
 
 But this is all changed. The cows of to-day give milk and 
 cream, too, for lo months of the year and are fed and housed 
 with as thoughtful care as if they were human. Since the 
 introduction of butter factories or creameries the number of 
 dairy cows has been largely increased, and very much more 
 butter has been made to supply the growing demand. Many 
 farmers have engaged in the production of cream in the win- 
 ter months, the cows becoming the means of disposing of the 
 surplus hay and grain. As much as $4,000 a month has been 
 received by Sunderland farmers for their cream during some 
 of the winter months of the last ten years. 
 
 There has been also an increasing demand for cream to be 
 used in all the larger towns and cities. Sunderland, in com- 
 mon with other towns of Franklin county, daily sends sup- 
 plies of cream to the best markets. 
 
 Cheese, which was once an industry lasting through the 
 summer months on every sizeable farm, and carried on con- 
 jointly by twos and threes of those farms which were poorly 
 supplied with cows, is now an unknown trade save in great 
 factories which collect the milk of hundreds of kine. We 
 miss the assortment which private dairies provided and re- 
 call the dainty sage cheese and the toothsome cream, but 
 nothing remains to us of home-made cheese save the soft, 
 curded dutch. No, we are mistaken. The implements have 
 not yet disappeared. The roomy cheese press, with its wood 
 
180 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 redolent of "butter fat" which escaped the prevailing hoop; 
 the big brass kettle in which milk and rennet first com- 
 mingled, the long oval tray and wood chopper for cutting the 
 fragrant curd, these curios still may be found where the 
 "cheese room " has not given way to a laundry or a " sepa- 
 rator." 
 
 Meats. 
 
 From fifty to seventy-five years ago Sunderland farmers 
 used to fatten considerable pork for market. This was be- 
 fore the introduction of railroads, but the same business is 
 carried on now, only the mode of transportation and market- 
 ing has changed. In the former period, the pork was car- 
 ried by the farmers to Boston with their own teams, several 
 of them arranging to go in company when the sleighing was 
 good ; the trip occupied about a week in the going and re- 
 turning, including the time of marketing. It has been re- 
 ported that they generally intended to have a good time 
 during the trip, and many " long yarns " were spun of the 
 incidents of the way to listening friends after their return. 
 It was no unusual thing for them to improve the opportunity 
 by bringing home a return load of groceries, fish and luxu- 
 ries not easily obtained at country stores ; not to mention a 
 new china tea set, or a " lute string" silk for a Sunday gown. 
 New books and a touch of general interest in the whole 
 country was another result of these journeys to Boston. 
 
 The fattening of beef for market during the winter months 
 gradually succeeded the occasional carting thither of the 
 frozen carcasses in winter. It grew to be a common winter's 
 employment on the farms of the Connecticut valley. 
 
 There was, at the start, no other certain market than Bright- 
 on, for the interior towns, now developed into manufacturing 
 cities, were then merely villages identical in style of life and 
 labor with that described existing here. Everywhere the 
 farmer provided his own meat supply and Boston used 
 merely a few hundred beeves for the same neighborhood 
 which now requires thousands. No butcher carts rolled from 
 house to house every day or week. City dwellers had the 
 same habits of providing as the country denizens. 
 
 The writer well remembers when two beef creatures per 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 181 
 
 week, slaughtered by the only butcher in Amherst, was an 
 abundant supply for the whole town. 
 
 Sunderland farmers, plentifully supplied with excellent 
 hay and Indian corn, devised at an early date the scheme of 
 buying Vermont cattle, where grain for fattening was scant ; 
 and occupying their long winters in feeding and fattening 
 the droves for sale at Brighton market. These, alive, when 
 driven across the country could be sent at any season to meet 
 requirements. A pair of oxen bought in the autumn at $ioo, 
 could be fed in winter and sold in the spring for $200, thus 
 bringing fair renumeration for their winter's feed and care. 
 This industry lasted till the western states with richer soils 
 and untaxed wild lands became competitors, and their cheaper 
 grass and grain gradually broke up the occupation. 
 
 Broom Corn. 
 
 The cultivation of broom corn lasted from 1825 to i860, 
 and never extended to the hills which enclose the Connecti- 
 cut river vallev, although it was so dominant as to override 
 all other crops in the meadow land from the northern to the 
 southern limits of the state in that valley. 
 
 At first farmers raised a dozen hills in their gardens to 
 furnish the " women folks" with these new fangled brooms. 
 Such were more easil}^ fastened to handles than the primi- 
 tive broom constructed of birch twigs or of splints of wood, 
 often without any handle. Broom corn brush tied in a cylin- 
 drical mass, enclosing a roughly whittled stick or handle four 
 feet in length, was a triumph of Yankee ingenuity. How had 
 all the centuries of housekeepers — how had the entire world 
 swept its floors and its carpets up to 1825? Just as they do 
 to-day, with bent women motive power and brushes fitted 
 with handles six inches in length. There is no broom in 
 England to-day save this "Yankee aifair," and the bristle 
 brush of English make, which is excellent for light dust, is 
 not to be defined a broom. 
 
 No one man has ever claimed the honor of evolving the 
 round polished stick which replaced the rude first model, nor 
 the tying of the circling rows of brush with fine steel wire 
 in place of twine, or old country " bast." What is known the 
 world over as a " Yankee broom " was originated and brought 
 
182 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 to perfection in this section of the State, and probably to the 
 two villages of Sunderland and North Hadley may be given 
 the credit of its perfection if not its invention. Many will 
 recall the appearance of the plant, over-running not only the 
 town meadows, but those of Hadley and Hatfield and other 
 towns where mellow loam lay deep, and friendly trees and 
 slopes warded off the winds. Everybody grew broom corn, 
 for it was a ready money crop, and money was wanted badly. 
 It was in this broom corn era that a good North Hadley 
 deacon hired a farmer boy to work for six dollars a month 
 and his board. The worker staid a year, never spending or 
 demanding money, and then called for his enormous wages 
 of $75. The good deacon, driven to his wits' end to amass 
 such a sum, announced that it was the last time that he 
 would ever be caught promising to pay such a sum in 
 money. And well he might be flustered, for he only obtained 
 it by a mortgage. It was not the harvested brush that 
 was transported in every direction, but the manufactured 
 broom. This gave employment to .large numbers of young, 
 enterprising farmers, for wire shops were started, turning 
 lathes were brought into use and the hum of work and traf- 
 fic was everywhere met. Besides the value of the broom 
 brush for manufacture, there was another source of income 
 from the seed. A good crop would yield from 50 to 80 bushels 
 of seed to the acre, weighing 40 pounds to the bushel and 
 salable at a cent a pound for feeding stock. It was con- 
 sidered especially valuable for growing swine. 
 
 After i860 the western states became successful rivals in 
 this industry, which gradually disappeared in consequence of 
 low prices. The men who entered into the work of the manu- 
 facture of brooms in Sunderland were John R. vSmith, Apple- 
 ton E. Rowe, Ansel Cole and Zebina M. Hunt. 
 
 Tobacco. 
 
 About 1850 the cultivation of tobacco to be made into 
 cigars superseded broom corn, the best alluvial soils being 
 used for that purpose, and about 150 acres each year are still 
 occupied in its culture. The gross sum received per acre 
 varies from $100 to $500, the amount received depending 
 upon the quality of the product and upon the condition of 
 
HISTORY OP^ SUNDERLAND. 183 
 
 the market, whether fully supplied or otherwise. The to- 
 bacco grown in the Connecticut river valley does not come 
 in competition with that grown in Maryland or Virginia, be- 
 ing of a different character. 
 
 Onions. 
 
 About the same time the cultivation of tobacco commenced, 
 the cultivation of onions as a market crop began. Levi P. 
 Warner, Esq., who resided in Sunderland meadow, in that 
 part called " middle division," was the pioneer in this indus- 
 try. He began in a small way by cultivating annually about 
 three-fourths of an acre during the first two or three years. 
 He later remarked when speaking of his difficulty in market- 
 ing his crop at that time, that he had more trouble in dis- 
 posing of his small crop then than he had with his harvest 
 of several acres later, as the demand for them became large- 
 ly increased. It has been evident during these later years 
 that the market has been greatly extended. People having 
 acquired a taste for them has caused the demand to in- 
 crease as rapidly as the increasing acreage. 
 
 The cultivation of tobacco and onions as " money crops " 
 has taken the place of broom corn, and not necessarily 
 crowded out the Indian corn and hay crops. It may be true 
 that there is not at this time so much Indian corn grown 
 for the sake of the grain as in former times, but on the whole 
 there is as much land devoted to Indian corn for all purposes 
 as ever. Since the introduction of the silo, and the ensilag- 
 ing process to preserve feed for neat stock, many silos have 
 been built in town and very many acres of corn are grown 
 each year for ensilage feeding. The cultivation of onions 
 has been quite extensively and successfully carried on, both 
 in Sunderland meadow and in the home lots. To show how 
 extensively this crop is grown, it can be said that the past 
 year (i8g8) the number of acres planted wholly in onions is 
 estimated to be two hundred and fifty (250). The west 
 home lots in Sunderland street lying between Bridge street 
 and the highway leading to the cemetery, are completely 
 occupied with the onion crop, excepting a strip of land con- 
 taining about two and a half acres in the homelot of the late 
 Joel Burt (deceased). 
 
184 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 The town of Sunderland has annually raised more onions 
 than any other town in the Connecticut river valley, and 
 the onions are of a quality not surpassed by any town in the 
 valley. The quantity and quality of the crop have been the 
 means of attracting wholesale buyers to supply city markets 
 and foreign shipments from Sunderland, direct. 
 
 The prices received for the crop vary from year to year, 
 depending upon the condition of the bulbs and the amounts 
 grown in other localities. The crops are usually sold by the 
 bushel, the price ranging from 25 cents to $1.50, or even $1.75 
 in some cases. 
 
 The number of bushels grown per acre varies from 200 to 
 900 or 1000; 500 bushels is called a good yield. There have 
 been seasons since the crop was first grown here that the 
 average yield per acre in the whole town was 600 bushels. 
 
 There is usually considerable demand for land to be leased 
 by individuals unable to own land themselves and consider- 
 able land leased or rented each year, either upon shares or 
 by the payment of a money rental. In the latter case the 
 amount paid for the use of the land varies from $35 to $45 
 per acre for the season, the lessee furnishing all the labor 
 and the fertilizer. One farmer for the season of 1898, lea.sed 
 1 3 acres at $40 per acre, and leased 6 other acres upon shares, 
 each party receiving half of the crop. 
 
 Boating on the River. 
 
 Very few people now living in Sunderland can recall the 
 time when the trade of the place and adjoining settlements 
 was transacted in boats. 
 
 Although the Connecticut river was clogged with certain 
 rocky rapids and swirling currents, its impediments were not 
 so formidable a barrier to transportation as the ill-made, ill- 
 kept roads in which many a wagon broke where it was least 
 expected to. The spring thaws located the bottoms of the 
 roads and the autumn rains washed them out. Only when 
 covered with snow were they a reliable quantity, for then 
 they were sure to be impassable with snow-drifts. It was 
 easier to bring all heavy merchandise up the valley in boats 
 of light draft, even at the ri.sk of a ducking at rapids, or a 
 whirlabout in contrary eddies, neither of which was fre- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 185 
 
 quent or formidable. At the time when communication with 
 Boston was only by wagons, freight could be brought by 
 river from Hartford with less cost, if not in less time. Hogs- 
 heads of sugar, molasses and heavy iron boilers or " arch 
 kettles," and other articles of weight and bulk which were 
 the dread of teamsters, were easily landed at the foot of 
 Bridge street. 
 
 It has been one of the traditions that " once upon a time " a 
 merchant of the town had nine full hogsheads of rum which 
 had been consigned to him on the Bridge street landing. I 
 do not vouch for its accuracy but accept it as a proof of the 
 superior morals of Sunderland inhabitants, or the scarcity of 
 gimlets which would have encouraged a leak in most com- 
 munities. 
 
 Much lumber was sent down the river from here and 
 woodmen from regions east and northeast found this an 
 easily accessible shipping point. Here accumulated the 
 shingles, made by hand ; the clapboards, sawed and "rived." 
 A good house at that time (and there were such in the street) 
 had clapboards rived and shaved shingles as well as hand- 
 wrought panels of wood for interior divisions. Bridge street 
 was much cumbered at times with the piles of exports imped- 
 ing travel, and town officers had to regulate the permits of 
 the lumber dealers. 
 
 Not all the river freight stopped here. Boats went up to 
 the Deerfield river as far as Cheapside, which became quite 
 a business centre. 
 
 In the days of boating, canals and locks were constructed 
 at South Hadley Falls and Turners Falls, to enable the boats 
 to pass up the river. But these are known only in name 
 now. 
 
 Among the Sunderland boatmen, Capt. Kenfield's name is 
 most widely known. His dwelling was located on the shore 
 at the north terminus of the street, the spot being termed 
 " the Rocks." This point had long served as a ferry when 
 there was no bridge and possessed the natural advantage of 
 a current or eddy which would propel a boat without rowing 
 half way acro.ss the water. The rocks, too, at that spot pro- 
 trude into the stream, narrowing it from about one-half to 
 one-third its width. 
 
 Capt. Kenfield's house on the river bank overlooked the 
 
186 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 water and he was often of service to travellers crossing, who 
 "didn't know what they were about." Mrs. Kenfield proba- 
 bly had little more fear of the swift running stream than her 
 sailor husband, as she is believed to have saved the lives of 
 two persons, rowing out alone to their rescue. 
 
 It may be mentioned here, that in those days of boating, 
 "taverns" situated near the river were quite frequent, at 
 which places the boatmen were inclined to stop in the case 
 of contrary wind or of no wind to fill their boat sails. It is 
 sufficient to say in addition that there was a good deal of 
 rum required at that time. The boats used upon the river 
 were called " fall boats," with usually but one mast and a 
 rudder. In the summer season there would often be several 
 days in succession with little or no wind to fill the sails. In 
 such times the boats were drawn up stream by men with a 
 long rope walking upon the shore or with poles by men in 
 the boat, which was exceedingly laborious work. These poles 
 were made of ash and the power which moved the boat was 
 called " ash power." 
 
 Covering Buttons. 
 
 During the period between 1825 and 1840, Samuel Willis- 
 ton, the founder of Williston seminary at Easthampton, (at the 
 suggestion of his wife, it is said,) employed many women in the 
 towns of this section, Sunderland women among the number, 
 " covering buttons." lie used to pass back and forth through 
 the several towns distributing wood button moulds with cut 
 circles of black cloth for the coverings and skeins of black 
 linen thread for sewing on the covers, which was done en- 
 tirely by hand. Soon afterwards, machines were invented 
 for doing the work at a much cheaper and more rapid rate. 
 The business was ultimately transferred to Haydenville, 
 (Williamsburg) where mills were built for the purpose. By 
 means of this industry, commenced in a small way, Mr. Wil- 
 liston accumulated wealth, whereby he was enabled to found 
 the seminary at Easthampton and materially assist Amherst 
 college. It was said that covering buttons for the sums 
 paid by Mr. Williston was not very lucrative, but by its 
 means families were enabled to earn something when other- 
 wise they would have been idle.

 Braiding Palmleaf Hats. 
 
 But a short time after covering buttons by hand ceased, 
 braiding palmleaf hats commenced and continued many years. 
 The leaf, already split to the required fineness, was distributed 
 among families to be braided into hats for men and boys. 
 The style and size of the hat required were given with the 
 palmleaf. By this industry employment was provided for 
 women, girls and boys of poor families in their own homes, 
 and although the remuneration was not large, yet by it 
 braiders were enabled to assist in meeting the family ex- 
 penses and in relieving encumbered homesteads. 
 
 During the same period, braiding straw in narrow, flat 
 bands from 25 to 50 yards in a piece, seven to fourteen straws 
 forming the plait, was a lighter and pleasanter occupation 
 than the work in the palmleaf. Probably it was less lucra- 
 tive and it certainly was not as generally liked. Girls who 
 were at school braided palmleaf hats nights and mornings, 
 frequentl}^ earning 50 dollars a year in such occasional labor, 
 while a steady braider who could endure the confined air and 
 lack of exercise would average three or four times that sum. 
 
 Wallet Shops. 
 
 In later years the " wallet shops" which have been estab- 
 lished at South Deerfield have furnished some employment 
 to female help at " stitching wallets." But this was not of 
 great amount or of long continuance. Upon the invention 
 and introduction of sewing machines this work has been 
 done by machinery. The same fate has befallen many handi- 
 crafts now extinct; they have been displaced by machinery. 
 
 It would be naturally inferred that laborers would suffer 
 in consequence of being thrown out of employment, but as 
 far as it relates to female help, such is not the case. During 
 the time which has been considered, when so many of the 
 articles of wearing apparel were made in the family home, 
 female labor was in over-supply and wages when paid for 
 housework were extremely low in price. Fifty cents per 
 week was then a good round sum to be paid for hired girls, 
 and this at a time when all articles she would need to pur- 
 chase were much higher than now. 
 
188 HISTORY or SUNDERLAND. 
 
 The use of machinery has reduced the cost of manufacture, 
 but at the same time the demand for manufactured articles 
 has increased with equal ratio. 
 
 The Manufacture of Hats. 
 
 In 1798, William Delano, in company with his brother 
 Charles, established the business of making hats and saddles, 
 in a building standing south of the store, nearly opposite the 
 present hotel, one-half of which building still remains near 
 the same spot and is occupied as a dwelling house. 
 
 They manufactured both silk and fur hats, and as late as 
 1845 a part of the circular fireplace and drying oven which 
 was used in the business, was still standing, though the busi- 
 ness had been discontinued a number of years. Some of 
 their hats were made from the skins of muskrats and wood- 
 chucks, the fur being clipped close, and, in some cases, dyed 
 black. Most of the hats were sent to New York to a com- 
 mission merchant. A large factory was opened in Danbury, 
 Connecticut, and with better facilities for the business they 
 soon undersold all the smaller factories. 
 
 The saddles found market nearer home and were nearly 
 all sold in the western counties of Massachusetts. It is told, 
 however, that they made a saddle and a side-saddle for a 
 man and his wife, on which they rode from here to Ohio, in 
 1830, which was considered wa}' out west then and a very 
 long journey, from which place few were ever expected to 
 return. 
 
 About 1834 or 1835, John Huntington, a hatter by trade, 
 removed from Northfield to Sunderland, purchasing the 
 homestead now owned by Wm. Gaylord (Lot No. 13, West 
 Side). He built a small shop south of his house, on the 
 south line of his lot, which he used in the manufacture of 
 hats for many years. 
 
 The shop was afterwards converted into a dwelling and 
 occupied by a tenant. 
 
VILLAGE INNS OR TAVERNS. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 A history of an ordinary New Eng-land town in the i8th 
 century and in the early part of the 19th would be incom- 
 plete if it made no mention of the " village inn " or " tavern." 
 The authorities of the colonies of the Massachusetts Bay be- 
 gan at a very early period to make -provision for the licens- 
 ing of inns or "ordinaries " and the colonial and the provin- 
 cial statutes are full of provisions for their government and 
 regulation. 
 
 The very earliest laws prohibit the sale of wine and strong 
 drink in these places, as tending to riot and disorder. In 
 1692 the provincial legislature made the following statement 
 of the uses and purposes for which houses of entertainment 
 were established : 
 
 "And for as much as the ancient true and principal use of inns, 
 taverns, ale houses, vitualling houses and other houses for common 
 entertainment is for the receipt, relief and lodging of travellers and 
 strangers and the refreshment of persons upon lawful business or 
 for the necessary supply of the want of such poor persons as are not 
 able by greater quantities to make their provission of vitualsand are 
 not intended for entertainment and harboring of lewd or idle people 
 to spend or consume their time or money there; therefore &c." 
 
 As the settlement of the country went on and the popula- 
 tion moved westward from the shores of Massachusetts Bay 
 and northward along the Connecticut river valley, the 
 necessity for these houses of entertainment grew rapidly. 
 There were no lines of public conveyance. The stage coach 
 
190 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 did not reach the valley until very near the close of the last 
 century. Every man travelled with his own means of con- 
 veyance and progress was slow and toilsome, and there was 
 a genuine demand for frequent opportunities for rest and 
 refreshment, until every village had its tavern and the " way- 
 side inn " between the villages became also a recognized and 
 established institution. 
 
 As time went on and opinions and conditions changed, the 
 rule prohibiting the sale of wine and strong waters by inn- 
 keepers was relaxed and such sale was permitted under 
 stringent regulations, enforced by severe penalties. To 
 secure good order and good morals in the administration of 
 these inns, it became quite the custom of wise and thought- 
 ful magistrates to grant licenses only to men of character 
 and substance, and so it came to pass that the principal inn- 
 keeper in a town was one of its most prominent citizens. 
 
 There was further change. There were no public halls 
 and places of meeting so central and convenient as such as 
 the innkeeper found it for his interest to provide. The 
 social life of the village demanded recognition and oppor- 
 tunity and it centered about the village inn, albeit this may 
 seem to be a departure from the original purpose of its 
 institution as set forth in the statute before cited. The vil- 
 lage inn became the newspaper, the produce exchange, the 
 agricultural institute, the forum for the discussion of local 
 politics. It was the militia headquarters, the scene of the 
 moderate festivities of the period, of the celebration of anni- 
 versaries and other public occasions. Many of these inns, 
 for the good order maintained, for the comfort and good 
 cheer dispensed, became famous over many leagues of ter- 
 ritory. 
 
 Upon the advent of the stage coach for the transportation of 
 mails and passengers, the lines of which were established 
 during the last of the i8th and the early part of the 19th 
 centuries, the " village inn," and the " wayside inn," became 
 almost an absolute necessity for the convenience of chang- 
 ing the horses used upon the coaches and for furnishing re- 
 freshments (?) for the dusty travellers. As the " Meeting 
 House " was the center of the religious and municipal life of 
 the town, the well ordered and well regulated inn was the 
 center of its business and social life to an extent which we 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 191 
 
 can now hardly appreciate or understand, and it is this char- 
 acteristic of the institution which affords the apology for in- 
 troducing the subject in this history. 
 
 About 1 73 1, Nathaniel Gunn, the original proprietor of lot 
 No. 8, on the east side of the street, (where Mrs. Gilbert now 
 lives, which was for a long time known as the " Leonard 
 tavern,"} returned to Hatfield, his former residence. Simon 
 Cooley, also an original proprietor and owner of lot No. 26 
 on the west side of the street, (where Dea. H. G. Sanderson 
 now lives,) about the same time became the owner of the 
 " Gunn lot " (No. 8, east side). He was from a highly respect- 
 able family in Springfield. His mother, Elizabeth Wolcott, 
 was sister of the celebrated Gov. Roger Wolcott of Con- 
 necticut. 
 
 He thus belonged to the class of prominent citizens to 
 which the authorities were accustomed to entrust the duty 
 of keeping a public inn, and in 1731 he was licen.sed as an 
 innholder at his dwelling house in Sunderland. Or, as it 
 appears in the Hampshire county records, " to be an inn- 
 holder, taverner and common victualer in that town for the 
 year ensuing, for selling strong drink by retail &c." " enter- 
 ing into recognizance with sureties as the law directs for his 
 keeping good order &c." 
 
 " Ensign " vSimon Cooley died in 1746 and seems to have 
 been succeeded as innkeeper by his son " Simon." Though 
 it can not be proved from the Hampshire records that he 
 was licensed as an innholder all of the years intervening be- 
 tween his father's death in 1746 and 1787, when the records 
 state that he procured a license. .Simon Cooley (2d) sold the 
 lot (No. 8) in 1783 to Noahdiah Leonard. 
 
 Noahdiah Leonard came from Springfield and married 
 Jerusha, daughter of Dea. Nathaniel Smith, in 1757. He was 
 a man of energy and activity, a farmer, and it is inferred 
 that he had a " store." " Stores " in that period were not 
 necessarily places devoted exclusively to selling goods, but 
 were frequently and perhaps generally a place in a private 
 dwelling in which " crockery, china ware and strong drink " 
 were sold, for the sale of which it was necessary to procure 
 a license. That he had a store is evident from the fact that 
 he had such a licen.se as early 1769. while hedid not purchase 
 the tavern till 1783. It may be inferred that Simon Cooley 
 
192 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 continued to keep the tavern at No. 8, after he had sold it, 
 from the fact that he obtained a license as innholder in 1787, 
 without he kept a tavern somewhere else contemporary with 
 Noahdiah Leonard, which does not seem probable. Either 
 cannot be proved. It is said that Noadiah Leonard built the 
 house, or a part of it, (probably the eastern part,) now owned 
 and occupied by Mrs. Gilbert on lot No. 8, a cut of which is 
 shown on the opposite page. It can not be definitely stated 
 in what year he built the addition, but it must have been 
 built between 1783, when he came into possession of it, and 
 1790, when he died. After his death Mrs. Leonard, who is 
 said to have been a capable and energetic woman, kept up 
 the tavern till her sons were capable of taking charge of it. 
 The records show that Mrs. Leonard obtained a license as 
 innholder from 1790 to 1800 inclusive. Her son, Moses, 
 born June 11, 1779, was licensed as innholder in 1800, which 
 was the first year after he became of age, and continued to 
 secure a license till 181 1. It is known that Moses Leoucird, 
 who was Lt. Colonel, kept the tavern for many years, or un- 
 til 1827 or 1828, when it passed into the possession of Roswell 
 Field, who came from Northfield, and maintained it till 1833, 
 when it ceased to be an inn, which was 50 years after it was 
 purchased by Noadiah Leonard and 102 years after the first 
 license was granted to " Ensign " Simon Cooley as an inn- 
 holder upon this lot (No. 8). 
 
 It is the opinion of those best competent to give an opinion, 
 that there was a " tavern " kept there continuously from 1731 
 to 1833, more than 100 years. 
 
 The Hampshire county records have been sought for these 
 licenses, and traced down to 181 1, when the county was 
 divided and Franklin county set off. 
 
 Noahdiah Leonard, named above, had a son Noahdiah, 
 born January 20, 1775. He lived in the gambrcl roofed 
 house which stood on the corner north of the road leading 
 to the "upper ferry" (the rocks). He died February 11, 
 1849. ^^^^ name has not been observed as being used in 
 connection with the "tavern." 
 
 Austin vSmith, who married the adopted daughter of Na- 
 thaniel vSmith, who built the house on Lot No. 10, (the 
 present hotel) at the decease of his father-in-law in 1833. 
 made an exchange with Roswell Field and Lucius Sander- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 193 
 
 son by which Mr. Field came into the ownership of the 
 house and homelot No. lo, Lucius Sanderson of homelot 
 No. 8 and Austin Smith that of No. 15, since which time the 
 hotel has been continued at No. 10. with the exception of 
 short intermediate periods. 
 
 It is said of Noahdiah Leonard that he was captain of the 
 vSunderland militia, in command of whom he marched to 
 Boston immediately after the battle of Lexington and be- 
 came captain of a company in Col. Woodbridge's regiment, 
 serving till December, 1775. Whether he saw any more 
 active service during the war is not stated, but he was after- 
 wards Lt. Colonel in the militia, where he lived prior to his 
 purchase of the homelot No. 8. 
 
 Capt. Ebenezer Billings was the original proprietor of lot 
 No. II (next south of the present hotel). In 1738 he con- 
 veyed this lot to his son, Fellows Billings, known in the 
 town records as Lt. Fellows Billing. It is shown by the 
 Hampshire records that Fellows Billing was licensed to keep 
 an inn and to sell strong drink in 1736 and continuously till 
 1774, about 40 years, during which time, no matter what 
 was going on at lot No. 8, this was " par excellence " the " vil- 
 lage inn " of Sunderland. 
 
 Lt. Billing was evidently a prosperous man, owning at dif- 
 ferent times several of the homelots and much outlying land, 
 and his headship of the inn, his office in the militia, his elec- 
 tion many times as representative in General Court and his 
 social relations, gave him such considerations that he was 
 easily the most prominent and influential man in the town. 
 He educated two sons at Yale college : William, who was a 
 lawyer, settled in Sunderland, was town clerk and one year 
 representative ; Elisha, who was intended for the ministry, 
 but health failing, he engaged in trade and farming. Both 
 of these sons married daughters of Col. Israel Williams of 
 Hatfield, the chief loyalist of the region, and their sister, 
 Ruth, married Joseph Ashley, Jr., who has the honor of ap- 
 pearing in the list of proscribed outlaws. The influences 
 growing out of these relations were sufficient to carry all the 
 Billings family on to the tory side. But Sunderland was de- 
 cidedly Whig, and in 1774, as is shown in the town records, 
 the town voted " they were not willing L'. Billing should 
 keep the tavern any longer." He gave it up and moved to 
 
194 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Conway, then coming forward as a new town, with all his 
 family, and sooner or later sold all his possessions in Sunder- 
 land. He died in Conway in 1784. 
 
 The old " Inn " of Lt. Billings stood about where the barn 
 of Mr. W. L. Warner now does. After the house which is 
 now occupied by Mr. Warner was built by Elijah Rowe, the 
 old house (painted red), so long famous as an " Inn," was 
 occupied for many years by two sisters of Elijah Rowe, one 
 a maiden lady, and the other the widow of the man who 
 died in consequence of drinking a glass of oil of vitriol b}^ mis- 
 take, as is related in another article of this book. The old 
 house was in existence 75 or 80 years ago, and is remembered 
 by a few of our old people. 
 
 As late as 1827 or 1828, " Landlord Williams," the name by 
 which he was familiarly called, occupied the house now occu- 
 pied by the widow of his grandson, Franklin H., and by his 
 great grandson, Frank Oliver Williams. At the time above 
 named the occupants of the house were " Landlord " Oliver 
 Williams and his wife and his son Oliver and his wife. There 
 was then hanging upon a sign post in the street the regula- 
 tion sign denoting that it was an inn and that entertainment 
 and refreshment were provided for travellers. The old sign 
 is still in the possession of the Williams family. 
 
 " Landlord Williams " came from Norwich, Ct., about 1770, 
 1772 or 1773. He married Zeruiah Ballard, November 19, 
 1775. According to the records he obtained his first license 
 as an innholder in 1781. 
 
 " Wayside Inns." 
 
 Soon after Israel Hubbard, the oldest son of Isaac Hub- 
 bard, Jr., located at Plumtrees, he built the house shown on 
 the opposite page, which is still standing in good condition. 
 He obtained his first license as an " innholder and taverner 
 and to sell strong drink " in 1755, which was renewed every 
 year till 1783, when the license was procured in the name of 
 his son Jonathan for one year only, after which it was con- 
 tinued by his brother Caleb till he was succeeded by his son, 
 Ashley Hubbard, who continued to keep the old stand as a 
 public house till about 1838 or 1839, when the house was 
 closed to the public, but has been occupied as a dwelling 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 195 
 
 house by the descendants of Israel Hubbard, its first occu- 
 pant, till the present time. 
 
 The period of time when it was used as a " Wayside Inn" 
 would be a little more than 80 years. 
 
 " Major Hubbard's tavern " was a favorite place of resort 
 for old people, who enjoyed the stories of the " Major," who 
 was quite a story teller, and exceedingly social with every- 
 body, and for young- people in parties, who enjoyed " having 
 a good time." He being a magistrate, a good many couples re- 
 sorted to his house to have the " knot " tied. Having served 
 in the war of Revolution, he had many a story " laying back " 
 to be brought out as occasion required. All of these acquire- 
 ments made him very popular as a landlord. It was a tradi- 
 tion that the Hubbard family had a trace of Indian blood in 
 their veins. Maj. Hubbard used to speak of it with much 
 seeming pleasure and jokingly promise to give a bow and 
 arrow to the Hubbard boys of the town when he saw them, 
 who by their complexion gave indication of pOvSsessing In- 
 dian blood. 
 
 The Hampshire records show that Timothy Catlin, who 
 lived where E. F. Wiley does now, was licensed as an inn- 
 holder in 1793 and to 1802, inclusive, and that Phineas Graves 
 was also licensed as innholder from 1803 to 181 1, inclu- 
 sive, which would indicate that it was in 1802 or 1803 that 
 Phineas Graves exchanged his homestead in the street, now 
 occupied by B. C. Darling's heirs, with Timothy Catlin for 
 the tavern stand at the lower end of Sunderland meadow. 
 Phineas Graves had obtained a license to sell " strong drink " 
 at his dwelling in 1785. This was probably while he lived 
 in the street. It is said that the first line of stages between 
 Springfield and Brattleboro ran through Sunderland meadow. 
 This might have been one reason for the call for an " inn " 
 at " Tim Catlin's." 
 
 Maj. Richard Montague, who lived in the house now (1898) 
 occupied by William Gaylord, moved in 1765 to what is now 
 North Leverett, then in Sunderland. He had served as town 
 clerk of Sunderland for several years. The clearness and 
 distinctness with which his records were written has already 
 been commented upon. He was licensed to sell " strong 
 drink" at his dwelling house in 1765, and for several years 
 following as an innholder. The character of the man (who 
 
196 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 received his title as " Major " in consequence of his promo- 
 tion to that office by General Washington) as shown in the 
 Montague Genealogy, is such as to prove his " inn " to have 
 been of the highest rank of respectability. It is said that 
 Gen. Washington discovered in him such traits of character 
 as made him desire to have him near his person. He ac- 
 cordingly appointed him on his staff. He was one of the 
 thirteen original members of the Baptist church of Montague 
 and North Leverett. As he was one of the strongest char- 
 acters of the little band, he was their natural leader. The 
 church often met at his house, and their first pastor was or- 
 dained in his barn. 
 
 With the advent of the line of stages running between 
 Springfield and Brattleboro was a call for taverns within 3 
 or 4 miles of each other for the accommodation of trav- 
 ellers while waiting for a change of the mail. There was also 
 a demand for accommodations for the " boatmen," who were 
 continually passing up and down the river with their boat 
 loads of freight. The nearest places south of the Sunder- 
 land landing were at Stockbridge's in Whately, at North 
 Hatfield and at Hockanum in Hadley. 
 
 In response to this demand a tavern was opened at the 
 " Mills," or Whitmores', as early as 1818 or 1820, by Daniel S. 
 Whipple and kept by him for several years afterwards. 
 Upon examination of the records of Franklin County, it is 
 found that a license was granted to Daniel S. Whipple as 
 " innholder and seller of liquors," April ist, 1833. 
 
 The license seems to have been granted by Erastus Pome- 
 roy, Lewis Puffer and John Montague, selectmen of Sunder- 
 land. It appears as though the license was at that time 
 granted by the selectmen and placed " on file " at the county 
 clerk's office. Because there is no evidence on record that a 
 license was procured by Whipple previous to 1833, yet that 
 does not make it certain that no inn was kept at " the Mills " 
 prior to that date. In fact circumstances are such as to show 
 that Daniel S. Whipple had an "inn" there several years 
 previous to that time. 
 
 By tradition it is learned that in 1831 a tavern was burned 
 there, then owned by Whipple, together with a gristmill, a 
 blind and sash factory, and a wagon makers' shop connected 
 with the gristmill, all probably in the same building.

HISTORY OK SUNDERLAND. 197 
 
 The tavern was rebuilt by Whipple after a short interval, 
 probably in 1832, and again operated by him, as is shown 
 by his obtaining a license as innholder in 1833. Just how long 
 after 1833 Mr. Whipple held the position as innholder, we 
 are unable to tell, but it is known that he was succeeded by 
 one Espatius Graves, and a little later by Zebina Hubbard, 
 till about 1837 or 1838, when the "tavern" property was 
 bought by some of the Whitmore family. The house was 
 afterwards occupied by D. Dwight Whitmore as a dwell- 
 ing while he lived, and has been thus occupied by his family 
 to the present time. 
 
 After the stage coaches began to run, there was a post- 
 office established there, which was continued till the line of 
 stages was discontinued in consequence of the carrying of 
 the mails upon the Connecticut river railroad after it was 
 built. The " wagon makers' shop " alluded to was operated 
 by Hubbard Graves and Luther Montague. 
 
 There is a sad incident connected with the " wagon makers' 
 shop" which it may be proper to relate here. On the 25th 
 of March, 1824, Messrs. Graves and Montague took the ferry 
 boat which was used at the ferrying place, and in the night, 
 because the boat was in use in the daytime, went to Cheap- 
 side in Deerfield for some lumber for use in their shop. On 
 their return the boat was overturned or capsized at the 
 mouth of the Deerfield river, at its conjunction with the 
 Connecticut river, and Luther Montague was drowned. Mr. 
 Hubbard Graves swam towards the nearest shore until he 
 was able to touch the bottom of the river with his feet, but 
 he was then too much exhausted to reach the shore. He 
 called loudly for help and was rescued. 
 
 Luther Montague was a twin brother of Lucy Montague, 
 brother and sister of Moses and Ira Montague, children of 
 David and Sarah (Clark) Montague. He was 28 years of age 
 at the time of his death. 
 
 Stage Coaches. 
 
 It is most probable that a line of stage coaches from Hart- 
 ford to vSpringfield, from thence to Northampton and Green- 
 field to Brattleboro, on the west side of the river, was estab- 
 lished previous to any line on the east side above Spring- 
 field. 
 
198 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 We are without sufficient data to help us to determine 
 definitely when the stages commenced to run on the east 
 side north of Springfield, but John R. Smith, now living in 
 town (born in Amherst), says he came to town to live in 1817, 
 then eight years old, and that the stages were running then. 
 The first line of coaches upon the east side of the river ran 
 from Springfield to South Hadley Falls, from thence to Had- 
 ley and Sunderland, through Sunderland meadow and on to 
 Northfield and Brattleboro. The mail from vSpringfield and 
 Hartford was at this time carried by the stage. It had pre- 
 viously been carried on horseback. 
 
 This line of coaches had nothing to do with the Boston 
 mail, which was continued to be sent on horseback till the 
 line of coaches was established from Northampton to Am- 
 herst and from thence to Sunderland and so on to Brattle- 
 boro. It is related that, when the mail was carried on horse- 
 back, it often did not arrive at vSunderland till midnight, 
 which was much to the displeasure of the postmaster, who 
 was obliged to arise from bed to change the mail. One of 
 the old " pouches " or " mail bags " used on this " horseback 
 route " was recently presented to the Pocumtuck Valley 
 Memorial Association by Mr. J. L, Delano, and deposited in 
 their Memorial building at Deerfield. 
 
 It was when the stage coaches ran from South Hadley 
 Falls to Sunderland through the meadow that Erastus Pome- 
 roy was " knight of the whip," which was somewhere about 
 1818 or 1820. It was while waiting for the change of mails 
 at the Sunderland postoffice that he became acquainted with 
 the postmaster's daughter, Clarissa Delano, whom he after- 
 wards married (October 22d, 1822). He soon after (1827) 
 purchased the Isaac Graves lot, (No. 3, East Side) where he 
 lived till he died in 1879. He came from Warwick, where he 
 was born in 1796. 
 
 The daily passing of the stage coach, drawn by four horses, 
 was in those days quite an attraction to the villagers. The 
 " stage driver " was looked upon with admiring and envious 
 eyes by the young people. It may be mentioned incident- 
 ally in this connection that in 1848 two of our townsmen, 
 William W. Russell and George W. Graves, owned and oper- 
 ated the stage line between Amherst and Montague, and had 
 the contract for carrying the mail over this route.

 " Stores." 
 
 Owing to a lack of information obtained from the records or 
 by tradition, we are unable to write much that would be his- 
 torical concerning the "stores" which were in existence 
 prior to those of Nathaniel Smith and Erastus Graves, the 
 accounts of which are given in their biographical sketches, 
 found on another page. 
 
 Sixty-five years ago there was a long building standing on 
 the line of the present sidewalk, m front of the house belong- 
 ing to the estate of the late Abner Gay (deceased), now occu- 
 pied by Benjamin Beaman and sisters. 
 
 This building stood a little nearer the present postoffice 
 and store than to the house of William Delano. 
 
 The north end of this building was i^ stories high, with 
 tight wooden blinds or shutters, hung on hinges. When 
 these blinds were open, as in the daytime, they advertised 
 for sale rum, gin, tea, coffee and groceries. The blinds were 
 painted green, with the advertised articles in black. 
 
 The Hampshire County records show that one Thomas 
 Ashley was licensed as a " retailer " in vSunderland in 1811. 
 It is known that one Thomas Ashley had a " store " in this 
 building, and it is quite probable that others also had, either 
 before or after, but there is no definite knowledge as to that 
 matter. Extending south from the store the building was 
 one story in height, in which was the hat shop of Charles 
 Delano, which was in operation as recently as 1842 or 1843. 
 In the south end of the building Orrin Russell had a cabinet 
 maker's shop for a while. Within the memory of the writer, 
 say 65 years ago, it was occupied as a dwelling by a family 
 of not a very savory reputation. It was occupied afterwards 
 by a family of " cullud pussons." About 1842 or 1843 the 
 south part of this building was moved back a short distance 
 and converted into a dwelling house, which is now occupied 
 by B. Beaman, as recentl}- alluded to. The north part of the 
 building was at the same time moved to the present location 
 of the house of Mrs. J. B. Wiley, where it was occupied as a 
 dwelling house by Charles Delano and " Aunt Lydia," his 
 wife, where it still retained the wooden blinds advertising 
 " rum, gin," etc. 
 
 From the Franklin County records it is learned that in

 1815 and again in 1825, two persons, who then were merchants 
 in Sunderland, obtained licenses to " retail strong drink, to 
 be spent out of doors," (to be drank out of doors). 
 
 The licensing of individuals for the sale of " strong drink, 
 china ware, tea, coffee " and other groceries at retail was a 
 very common thing during the last half of the 18th and the 
 early part of the 19th centuries. To each of such licenses 
 was appended the stipulation, " to be spent out of doors." 
 At the appointed time for obtaining licenses for retailing, 
 individuals would appear in considerable numbers at the 
 clerk's office in Hampshire County, from the surrounding 
 towns, and would sign each other's bonds which were required. 
 The bonds for an " innholder and retailer " were greater 
 than for a retailer only. The bonds for an innholder and 
 retailer were from 10 to 12 pounds for one year. 
 
 At the present day one would naturally and properly in- 
 quire as to the result of so much liquor selling and drinking 
 which was not peculiar to this town alone, but to all other 
 towns, as is shown by the county records. 
 
 The best answer we can give to that question is what we 
 were told by our ancestors, " That there were but very few 
 families in which there were not one or more sons who 
 were drunkards." 
 
 Young men, several in company, would traverse the street, 
 calling upon the retailers in town, and drink at several places 
 during the evening, where it was " to be spent out of doors," 
 and so become, as is said at the present day, " full," in the 
 course of the evening. How, it may well be asked, could 
 such a custom help but make drunkards? 
 
 It was fashionable to drink and every one drank, either 
 because it was fashionable, or because they loved liquor. 
 
 It is related that at that period a man who evidently loved 
 liquor, went into the store of the village merchant to help 
 himself by stealth to a drink. By a mistake made in his 
 haste, he drew from a barrel containing " oil of vitriol," which 
 he drank and died in great agony. 
 
 The use of " strong drink " was considered a necessity, not 
 only at " raisings," meeting houses included, but at weddings 
 and ordinations, and those well-to-do families who were ac- 
 customed to entertain ministers who travelled from place to 
 place, as they did in those days with their own teams, and

 not stopping at " inns," but with private citizens, were ex- 
 pected to have a full supply of liquors, tobacco and pipes for 
 their guests. 
 
 It was during the pastorate of the Rev. James Taylor that 
 the temperance movement began. Mr. Taylor was a strong 
 advocate of the cause, in the pulpit and out of it. His 
 course stirred up considerable opposition. It is said that one 
 Sunday morning, as he entered his pulpit, he found a rum 
 bottle on his desk. He very quietly opened a window and 
 threw it out, making so little disturbance that very few of 
 his congregation knew anything about it. It was about the 
 same time that, as the people came into the meeting house 
 one Sunday morning, they found the pew doors nailed up. 
 The sexton, Gains Smith, went to work quietly to unfasten 
 them. A temperance society was formed at this time, a con- 
 stitution was drawn up and a pledge to abstain from "ardent 
 spirits " (which did not include wine and cider) was circu- 
 lated. While the constitution was under discussion, one citi- 
 zen expressed the wish to have the constitution altered, so 
 that spirits could be used as a medicine, upon which Mr. 
 Taylor immediately arose and, with some warmth, said they 
 were not going to have the constitution all frittered away so 
 that it would mean nothing. Dr. Gardiner Dorrance, the 
 practicing physician at the time, took hold of the temperance 
 work and strongly advocated the reformation. Nathaniel 
 Smith, Esq., was, with his son Austin, the first to break off 
 the custom of furnishing spirits to help during haying. 
 They were both strong temperance men. It has been re- 
 lated by Dr. Jewett, the temperance lecturer, that in 1834 
 there was no farmer in town who would furnish liquor to his 
 help in haying time, which could not be said of any other 
 town in the county. From that day to the present, teniper- 
 ance principles have been in the ascendency in town (bred 
 in the bone). In 1843 a total abstinence pledge was circu- 
 lated through the whole town by Avery D. Hubbard, and all 
 but seven of the names of those old enough to write were 
 placed upon it. Five males and two females refused to sign 
 the pledge. Over 500 names in all were procured. Dea. 
 Elihu Rowe, Ansel C. Delano, Royal C. Graves, William W. 
 Russell, William Hunt and others were strong temperance 
 workers between 1830 and 1840. Their street fences were

 painted black, their horses' tails sheared, and the sign on 
 Royal C. Graves' store disfigured in consequence. 
 
 The Organization of a Sunday School in Sunderland. 
 
 It was one Sabbath afternoon early in the summer of 1818 
 that Rev. James Taylor, pastor of the Congregational church, 
 before commencing his sermon remarked thus : " In many 
 of our churches Sunday schools are being organized for the 
 instruction of the children in the Scriptures, and it seems to 
 me that it would be a good idea if one could be started 
 here." 
 
 Following the suggestion, the necessary arrangements were 
 soon made and in about two weeks the first Sunday school 
 was held with twelve classes. 
 
 The number of pupils was limited to those under 1 5 years 
 of age, during the first season. The assembly's shorter 
 catechism was studied by the older classes. Those younger 
 learned short hymns and passages of Scripture to repeat. In 
 1 83 1, through the instrumentality of Horatio Nelson Graves, 
 the school was more thoroughly organized, the age limit was 
 done away with and all ages were admitted. A large and 
 flourishing school was the result of Mr. Graves' labors. It 
 was not till after this time that the school was managed by 
 a superintendent, Mr. Taylor having charge of the school 
 besides conducting a Bible class of those debarred from the 
 school by age, separate from the school. 
 
 Not till 1837 did they hold sessions of the school through 
 the winter season. But from this date through the efforts of 
 Dea. Chapin, the superintendent, the schools were contin- 
 ued through the year. In 1843 question books were first 
 introduced. In 1845 Elihu vSmith was chosen superintend- 
 ent, and from this date the records of the school were kept, 
 from which it is learned that when the school was reorgan- 
 ized, April 27th of that year, there were 205 members pres- 
 ent. Especial exertions having been made to increase the 
 membership of the school, the average attendance for the 
 year was 163. It was while Dr. N. G. Trow was superintend- 
 ent, a little later, that Sabbath school concerts were instituted. 
 In 1875 the time of the reorganization of the school was 
 changed from May to January, in order to conform to the 
 
HISTORY OP"" SUNDERLAND. 203 
 
 arrangement of lessons for the schools, prepared by the 
 International Lesson Committee. At the same time the cus- 
 tom of a month's vacation was abolished. It may be said 
 that the school has always worked in harmony with the 
 church. But to put the school upon a more solid basis, a 
 constitution was adopted in 1885, and in 1890 the church and 
 school were more closely united by the school adopting 
 measures so that its officers should be elected by the church, 
 the choice of officers and the selection of teachers having 
 previously been left with the school, which acted independ- 
 ent of the church. 
 
 Among the earlier superintendents were Dr. Dorrance, 
 Lysander Marsh, Rodolphus B. Hubbard and Horace Ly- 
 man.

 Ministers AND Missionaries who were from Sunderland. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 From a paper read by Mr. J. L. Delano at the 175th anniversary of the 
 organization of the church in i8q2. 
 
 1. Rev. Edward Billings, who was one of the first settlers of 
 the town, became the first pastor of the first Congregational church 
 in Greenfield, being settled there in 1754, after having been settled 
 13 years at Belchertown. He died about 1760. * 
 
 2. Rev. Eli Cooley was born in Sunderland in 1781, was or- 
 dained in 1809 and was pastor of churches in Cherry Valley, N. Y., 
 Middletown Point and Trenton, N. J. 
 
 3. Rev. Joseph Field was born in Sunderland in 1772, and was 
 pastor of churches in Eairfield, N. Y., Westminster, Vt., and for 
 twenty- three years in Charlemont. He was also missionary for one 
 year, and was Representative to the Legislature from Charlemont 
 seven years. 
 
 4. Rev. Jonathan Hubbard was born in Hatfield about 1702, 
 but removed to Sunderland early in life and lived there till manhood. 
 He was ordained at Sheffield and was pastor there for twenty-nine 
 years. He died there in 1765. He came near being dealt with by 
 the church for being so worldly minded as to raise 20 bushels of 
 potatoes in one year. 
 
 5. Rev. Alpheus Graves was born in Sunderland in 1815. His 
 parents were Alpheus and Gracia (Rowe) Graves. He united with 
 the church when he was 16 years old. He prepared for college at 
 the academies of VVestfield, Southampton, Hadley and Brattleboro; 
 studied a year with Rev. Ezekiel Russell of North Adams, and a 
 short time with our own pastor, Rev. S. B. Ingram, and afterwards 
 went to Union college and 'I'heological seminary at East Windsor, 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 205 
 
 Conn., from which he graduated in 1841; was ordained and in- 
 stalled in Halifax, Vt., in 1841. After 10 years ministry there and 
 three years in Heath, he removed to Iowa and Minnesota, where 
 he continued in the ministry till 1884, making 43 years of active 
 work in his chosen profession. He then retired from the active 
 ministry, because of impaired health. 
 
 6. Rev. Austin O. Hubbard, son of Phineas Hubbard, was 
 born in this town in 1800. Graduated at Yale in 1824. Studied 
 theology at Baltimore and went as a Home Missionary for five years, 
 and then was pastor of churches at Hardwick and Barnet, Vt. 
 
 7. Rev. Horatio N. Graves was born here in 1806. Grad- 
 uated at Yale in 1S26; was Home Missionary a year, and was after- 
 wards settled as pastor in Townsend. Vt. It is related of him that 
 at five years of age he had read through the New Testament. In 
 1839, ninety persons were admitted to his church in Townsend, 
 Vt. 
 
 8. Rev. Ochus G. Hubbard was born in Sunderland in 1S05; 
 graduated at Amherst in 1829, and at Andover in 1832; was or- 
 dained as pastor at Leominster in 1833. After preaching there 29 
 years he preached in churches at Wolfboro, Erving and at East Fal- 
 mouth, where he died in 1852. Previous to his settlement at 
 Leominster, he preached a few times here in Sunderland, and this 
 church invited him to settle here. During his ministry at Leomin- 
 ster his congregation increased from 80 to 300. 
 
 9. Mr. Rodolphus B. Hubbard was born in Sunderland in 1803; 
 graduated at Union college in 1829; studied theology at East Am- 
 herst; was licensed to preach by the Hampshire association in 1837; 
 preached at South Deerfield, Hatfield, Leverett and other places, but 
 was employed a large part of his life in teaching, at which he was 
 very successful. He was an influential and valued citizen and rep- 
 resented our town in the Legislature. While on a visit to relatives 
 in California he died in 1875. 
 
 TO. Rev. John L. Graves was born in Sunderland; son of Hora- 
 tio Graves, and descendant of one of the earliest settlers of the 
 town. He lived here during his childhood and youth until he went 
 to the seminary at Easthampton, where he graduated in 1851; grad- 
 uated at Amherst in 1855; taught school and studied theology for 
 three years and then was ordained and installed as pastor of the 
 Springfield Street Congregational church in Boston. He remained 
 there for four years, during which time he was quite successful in 
 the work. He then travelled quite largely in Europe for a year. 
 
 II. Rev. Edward C. Winslow was born in Sunderland, son of 
 William Bainbridge Winslow, Aug. 24, 1S45. His father died when 
 
206 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 he was eleven years old and he went to live with his uncle, Austin L. 
 Clark, and remained with him till the spring of 1863, when he went 
 to Brimfield and entered the Hitchcock high school. He worked 
 his way along, remaining there till 1865, by teaching school in Brim- 
 field and Warren and as assistant principal at Brimfield; went to 
 Williston seminary to prepare for college and graduated from Am- 
 herst in 1870 among the honor men of the class; was principal of 
 Amherst high school two years, of the Morgan school, Clinton, 
 Conn., six years; and graduated from Yale Divinity school in 1880; 
 preached a while at Northford, Conn., and was then called to the 
 Taylor church. New Haven, and to the Congregational church in 
 Galesburg, Mich., and to the Westminster Presbyterian church of 
 Big Rapids, Mich. After two years' work in each of those places he 
 accepted the chair of Latin Language and Literature in Wabash col- 
 lege, Ind., which he resigned in 1891, after six years of very pleas- 
 ant labor, and soon after accepted a call to the Central church, 
 Attleboro Falls, Mass., where he is very pleasantly located at the 
 present time. In 187 1 he married Miss S. Belle Sabin of Augusta, 
 Mich. In 1889 they came to Sunderland and built themselves a 
 summer residence at Highland Point (Stony Hill). 
 
 12. Rev. Enoch H. Burt was born in Westhampton in 1858, 
 but removed to this place so early in life that we have a sufficient 
 claim on him to call him one of us. He united with our church in 
 1872; graduated from Amherst in 1882, and Yale in 1885, and took 
 one year at Andover, after which he was called to the Congregational 
 church in Armada, Mich., being installed there in 1886, remaining 
 there 3 years; he then accepted a call to the Congregational church 
 in West Winfield, N. Y., where he still remains. He married Emily 
 M., a daughter of Rev. W. F. Arms. She was born on missionary 
 ground in Turkey. Both Mr. and Mrs. Burt may also be reckoned 
 among our home missionaries, for she went teaching one year in 
 New Mexico and he a year in Minnesota. 
 
 Our church has also been represented in both the home and for- 
 eign missionary work. First and foremost in the foreign field is 
 Rev. Charles Harding, who passed all the younger part of his life 
 here, living with Dea. Quartus Smith. 
 
 He united with our church in 1842; graduated from Yale in 1853, 
 and was ordained a missionary to Lulia, here in this house, in 1S56, 
 and has been in the foreign field constantly ever since that time 
 till now. He has, however, come home two or three times and has 
 just returned to resume his work once more at Sholapur Station, 
 British India. He is so well-known and his works so manifest that 
 it needs no words of mine to inform others about him. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 207 
 
 Two boys, sons of Rev. Phineas Hunt, a missionary in China, 
 came to Sunderland when quite young. One of them, Jesse E. 
 Hunt, was consecrated to missionary work and prepared for it, but 
 lost his life in the Union army in 1864. 
 
 The other became Rev. Myron \V. Hunt and went to China as 
 missionary, sent out by the American Board, but after four years of 
 hard work his health failed and he returned to this country, labored 
 awhile in Kansas and died therein 1S76. 
 
 Mrs. Juliette Montague' was daughter of Caleb Montague and 
 lived here in Sunderland during her childhood and youth. She 
 joined our church in 1833. 
 
 Mary Electa Smith graduated from Mt. Holyoke seminary in 1871. 
 In the fall of 1872 she engaged in the work of teaching the Freed- 
 men at Tougaloo university, Miss. She labored there three years, 
 having charge of the female department, and her work, though much 
 interfered with by lack of necessary funds and frequent changes of 
 management, was highly commended, especially as manifesting 
 great executive ability. The second year her sister Anna became 
 associated with her there, taking charge of the primary department, 
 which became under her management quite a prominent feature of 
 the university. After leaving Tougaloo, Miss., Mary taught for two 
 years in Maryland, and in 1877 was married to Rev. M. O. Harring- 
 ton, a graduate of Amherst and Andover. Together they labored 
 under the A. M. A., principally at Macon, Ga., and afterward un- 
 der the Home Missionary society in different parts of the West. Her 
 present home is in Topeka, Kan. 
 
 Sarah A. (Hunt) Washburn and Fanny M. (Hunt) Washburn, 
 daughters of Zebina Hunt, taught two years among the Freedmen 
 at Atlanta, Ga., soon after the war was over, and Mary L. Hubbard, 
 daughter of Alanson Hubbard, also taught in 1877 and 1888 in Sher- 
 wood academy, Tennessee, under the auspices of the American 
 Missionary association. 
 
 Frederick A. Graves was born in Williamstown in 1856. He was 
 son of Luther H. and Maria Bridges Graves. His father and mother 
 died when he was quite young and he found a home, for two years, 
 here in Sunderland with J. Wiley Russell, and after that with H. D. 
 Graves. \Vhen he was about 14 years old he united with this 
 church in 1870. In 1877, being then twenty-one years of age, he 
 went West and located at Bigelow, Minn., and took up a quiet life 
 as a farmer, raising sheep quite largely. He was always fond of

 music and was engaged to teach singing schools in his new home 
 and also chosen superintendent of the Sunday school. These two 
 things seemed to develop faculties within him for greater work for 
 the Gospel and he decided to give up his whole time to missionary 
 and evangelistic work. He took a term at Moody's institute, 
 Chicago, and attended Towner's training school for Gospel singers 
 at Northfield. He then returned to Minnesota and has been en- 
 gaged in earnest, constant missionary work ever since, in which 
 God has blessed him very much. He is known as the "singing 
 Evangelist " and has composed many hymns for Sabbath school use 
 and has successfully set some parts of the Bible to music for use 
 in public.

 Capt. Israel Hubbard and His Son, Major Caleb 
 • Hubbard. 
 
 Captain Israel Hubbard, who died in 1817 at the age of 
 ninety-two, was a prominent and influential citizen in the 
 latter part of the last century and the first part of the pres- 
 ent one. He was a decided Whig, a member of the first 
 Provincial Congress at Watertown, and was an active, reso- 
 lute, energetic man, with a good deal of native wit. His son 
 Caleb was his successor upon the old homestead and tavern 
 at Plumtrees, and had many of the characteristics of his 
 father. In politics he espoused the Jeffersonian side and 
 ranked himself as a Jefferson Democrat, much to the disgust 
 of his father, who, with a large majority of the men of the 
 Connecticut valley, was a staunch Federalist. It was said of 
 him that in extreme old age he was entreated by his family 
 not to go to town meeting, but he persisted, because it was

 his duty to go and "spile Caleb's vote." Major Caleb Hub- 
 bard died in 1850, aged ninety-six. 
 
 Nathaniel Smith. 
 
 Nathaniel Smith was a grandson of the Nathaniel Smith 
 who settled on Lot No. 10. He built the house now used for a 
 hotel, for a private residence in 1795. He was born in 1759 
 and died in 1833. He was probably the most influential 
 man in town in his day, was very many years in trade, and 
 accumulated what was at that time called quite a fortune, 
 enjoying the reputation of being the richest man in town. 
 His trade included that common to a country store, and in 
 his time included " New England Rum," taking in exchange" 
 for goods, barter of every description. At that time very 
 much trade came from the surrounding towns, particularly 
 those north and east, and for payment they brought in lum- 
 ber. People from Leverett, North Leverett and Shutesbury, 
 and even what is now the town of Erving, then called " The 
 Grant " or " Ervings Grant," came here to trade. Sunder- 
 land was at that time a "seaport " town, all heavy freight 
 coming up the river in boats from Hartford and landing at 
 the ferry or bridge. This method of receiving freight was 
 continued to some extent since the memory of this writer. 
 It is said that what is now called Bridge street was then so 
 filled with lumber as to be almost impassable. In proof of 
 this statement may be seen upon the vSunderland records the 
 record of a vote passed by the town, requiring the adjoining 
 owner to remove the rubbish which was obstructing public 
 travel. 
 
 Nathaniel Smith, Esq., was a magistrate, and many years 
 represented the town as a member of the Massachusetts 
 Leo:islature. He was one of the founders of Amherst col- 
 lege, one of its first trustees, always its friend, giving liber- 
 ally for its support. 
 
 Erastus Graves. 
 
 Erastus Graves was a native of Sunderland, a prominent 
 and influential citizen. He built and occupied an elegant 
 brick house, which was taken down to make way for one 
 
212 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 built for a summer residence by A. J. Johnson, Esq., of New- 
 York, and now (1897) occupied by Miron Brown, Esq. He 
 succeeded to the mercantile business of Nathaniel Smith. 
 He was a man of orreat enterprise and business capacity. It 
 is related of him that he would post his books and talk upon 
 business matters with others in the store at the same time. 
 He did a large business in the same line as his predecessor, 
 occupying at one time the building now used for the same 
 purpose (except rumselling) by W. L. Warner. He after- 
 wards had a store in Amherst, but soon failed in business 
 and removed to Macon, Georgia, where he dealt in cotton 
 and accumulated a large estate. He was afterwards in busi- 
 ness in New York with his son, Rufus R. Graves, who, wdth 
 his brother Augustus, have so generously remembered their 
 native town by making material donations for the support of 
 the town library, and for the perpetual care of our cemetery. 
 Mr. Erastus Graves died in Conway. 
 
 Rufus R. Graves. 
 
 Rufus Row^e Graves, the son of Erastus Graves, w^as born 
 in Sunderland in 1807. His education was gained in the 
 common schools, and later on in his father's country store, 
 where all the trade of the town culminated. In 1828 he went 
 to Macon, Ga., and in course of time became a partner in his 
 father's business, a wholesale trade in raw cotton. 
 
 In 1840 the firm removed to New York cit3\ During the 
 years from 1840 to 1874, an immense business was created 
 and maintained with distinguished success, giving the name 
 of Graves rank as one of the foremost, far-sighted merchants 
 of this country. 
 
 He was a man of sterling integrity, utterly devoid of dis- 
 play or ostentation, and his life was a long record of char- 
 ities and kindly deeds. 
 
 The gifts made at various intervals to his native town 
 still " keep his memory green " among the younger genera- 
 tions, who never saw his face. 
 
 Among the bequests made at his death was one of $100,000 
 for the education of the colored race in the South, also 
 $115,000 to other philanthropic objects. 
 
 It is such men who have made the reputation of our coun- 
 try and whose example is beyond price. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 213 
 
 Mr. Graves died in 1876. His first wife was Louisa Brown 
 of New Ipswich. His second wife, Mary Jane Arms of 
 Conway. 
 
 Dea. John Montague. 
 
 Dea. John Montague was of the fourth generation in de- 
 scent from Richard, the emigrant, who came to this country 
 from England in 1634. He married a daughter of Capt. 
 Israel Hubbard, and died in 1832. He served as town clerk 
 32 years in succession, and was selectman, assessor and treas- 
 urer the most of the time, and there being no lawyer in 
 town, during the most of his active life he wrote many wills 
 and gave good counsel to his townsmen, harmonized their 
 differences, and adjusted their quarrels. In the Montague 
 genealogy the following may be found : 
 
 " He was a man of unblemished integrity, wholly devoid of osten- 
 tation, distrustful of himself, fond of peace and quiet, giving him- 
 self to public duties only as they were demanded of him, and because 
 they were duties he had no right to avoid. He was for many years 
 teacher of the town school, at the time when all pupils in the town 
 came t(j the central, the only school in town. 'I'he school house in 
 which he taught was — till within a few years standing — used as a shoe- 
 maker's shop. He was instrumental in establishing and maintain- 
 ing a public library in the town before the close of the last century. 
 It may with truth be said that for the day in which he lived he was 
 possessed of considerable literary attainments, and quite a reader 
 withal and one who enjoyed jokes very much, some of which have 
 been handed down by his family. He was much given to making 
 rhyme upon short notice, and would often carry on quite a corre- 
 spondence with some neighbor upon a trivial matter through the 
 medium of his pen. He lived in that good day of the past when 
 everybody in town kept geese, or rather they owned them, but did 
 not keep them — they ran at large, and the following story is told: 
 It so happened that the geese of his neighbor, the good Deacon 
 Jedediah Clark, troubled him, and one day when Dea. Clark's old 
 gander went home he went with a serious complaint of his treatment 
 by Dea. Montague. The complaint of the gander was found by 
 Dea. Clark in writing in rhyme tied to the gander's neck. The next 
 morning when the gander appeared at Dea. Montague's he carried 
 in like manner a reason for his going over to Dea. Montague's so 
 much, and so for several days the gander went back and forth with 
 
2U HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 his poetic messages from one deacon to the other. The early part 
 of Dea. Montague's life was spent on the homestead assigned to the 
 Montague family when Sunderland was first settled ; where his grand- 
 daughter, Mrs. Campbell, now lives. He afterwards moved to the 
 house where his son, Dea. John Montague, lived and died, farther 
 down the street." 
 
 William Delano. 
 
 Philip Delanoye, the ancestor of William Delano, the sub- 
 ject of the following sketch, was one of the French Hugue- 
 nots, and when driven from thence to England soon found 
 his way to Holland and to America on the ship " Fortune," 
 which was the next ship to come over after the Mayflower. 
 He landed at Plymouth, December 9, 162 1, then nineteen 
 5'ears of age. He was given a home lot in Plymouth, but 
 after living there twelve years he, in company with Miles 
 Standish and John Alden, moved to Duxbury, where they 
 lived on adjoining lots as neighbors, their families intermar- 
 rying. One of the sons of Philip married Elizabeth, daugh- 
 ter of Miles Standish, and another son, Thomas, married 
 Mary, daughter of John and Priscilla Alden. 
 
 Lemuel, of the fourth generation from Philip, moved from 
 Marshfield to Sunderland in 1778, when his son William was 
 eight 3'-ears old, and settled on the original lot No. 17, on the 
 east side of Main street. After living there six years he 
 bouofht the " Old Parsonage " of the town, to which he moved 
 soon, and which has been in the possession of the family 
 ever since. 
 
 He died in 1792 and left a will which is still in the posses- 
 sion of his descendants, the preamble of which reads as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 In the name of (rod, Amen. "I Lemuel Delano of Sunderland 
 in the county of Hampshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
 Being of perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto Cod: Call- 
 ing to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is ap- 
 pointed to all men once to die do make and ordain this my last will 
 and testament; that is to say principally and first of all I give and 
 rec(;mmend my soul into the Hand of the Almighty God who gave 
 it, and my body I recommentl to the earth to be buried in decent 
 Christian burial at the discretion of my Executor. Nothing doubt-

 ing but at the general resurection, I shall receive the same again by 
 the mighty power of God: And touching such worldly estate where- 
 with it has pleased God to bless me in this life I give and Demise and 
 Dispose of the same in the following manner and form — " 
 
 In the town records may be found the name of William 
 Delano qtiite often as being chosen to town office and in 
 transacting- town business. He was appointed justice of the 
 peace in 1826, and held the office for about twenty years, and 
 was a stockholder and officer of the bridge corporation for 
 twenty-five years. He was appointed postmaster in Sunder- 
 land in 181 5, during the administration of James Madison, 
 when the mail was still carried on horseback from Amherst 
 to Greenfield, and held that office for thirty-six years. It is 
 related of him that during his whole life he never locked a 
 door in his house, which would tend to prove the honesty of 
 his neighbors, or at least his confidence in them. 
 
 He was fond of telling how the town had changed since 
 his early days, when wild beasts were often seen, and how 
 once " when the men folks were all away at work in a field 
 some distance from the house, and no one at home but the 
 women folks, a bear came down from the mountain, and 
 went into one door of the old parsonage kitchen, burned 
 his nose trying to steal the family dinner, and then ran out 
 of the other door, and off to the mountain again." 
 
 He was born in Marshfield in 1770 and died in Sunderland 
 in 1855. 
 
 Dea. Elijah Hubbard. 
 
 Deacon Elijah Hubbard was born in Sunderland, Ma}'' 29, 
 1757. He was a grandson of Dea. Isaac Hubbard and lived 
 on the lot now owned by Alfred Sanderson. He was the 
 grandfather of Kelita and Avery Hubbard and also of Al- 
 bert Montague and Franklin H. Williams. Chosen to the 
 office of deacon in 1799. he afterwards became a Baptist and 
 joined that church, at a time when the Baptist denomination 
 was regarded with little or no favor. He regularly attended 
 services at the Baptist church in North Leverett, sometimes 
 driving the long circuitous route of the highway, sometimes 
 staff' in hand walking across the mountain. Independent in 
 thought he was none the less outspoken in word, and it is 
 
216 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 related of him that in speaking to Congregationalists he 
 would frequently say : " You have not come in through the 
 right door," alluding, of course, to immersion. In prayer 
 meeting a favorite expression of his was " Lord, Thou knowest 
 we have come in here reeking hot from the world." The 
 members of his family were of upright, exemplary lives, 
 though the bright, pretty girls, like deacons' daughters gener- 
 ally, might have preferred a ball to a baptism. One daughter 
 jokingly consented to attend the Baptist church on condition 
 of his making the trip "back of the lots," to avoid being ob- 
 served. The same daughter afterwards married E. Phelps 
 Gunn, and it well illustrates the changes wrought by time 
 that her three children are of the sect which she bantered 
 and jested ; two of them are clergymen in the Baptist denom- 
 ination. One of these preached not long since in the Sun- 
 derland church. 
 
 Dr. Samuel Church. ' 
 
 Dr. Samuel Church was born at Amherst, Massachusetts, 
 about 1756. He graduated at Harvard college in 1778. 
 There was a tradition that he participated in the battle of 
 Bunker Hill. If so, it may have been while at college. 
 
 He studied medicine with Dr. Coleman of Amherst, a man 
 of celebrity in those days, and settled in wSunderland between 
 1780 and 1790. He was a highly respectable physician, a 
 man of much wit and humor, and of tenacity of opinion, 
 which sometimes verged towards obstinacy. 
 
 He is everywhere remembered for ready wit, for solemn 
 jokes, for idle conceits and rollicking fun. His retorts never 
 failed. The fun of a century ago will hardly make us smile, 
 but one or two of his efforts are given. 
 
 Dr. Stephen W. Willard in his medical biography relates 
 the following : 
 
 " Dr. Hunt of Northampton wlio kept a drug store there, and 
 from whom Dr. Church oblainetl liis medicines, was a man of caus- 
 tic wit. He once called upon Dr. C'hurch for the settlement of a 
 bill in the following words: ' Dr. Church, Dear Sir.' ' 1 am in want 
 of a fat hog; please send it or Ebenezer Hunt.'" 
 
 Dr. Church replied as follows : 
 
 " Dr. Hunt, Dear .Sir: I have no fat hog; and if I had 
 
 Samuel Church." 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 217 
 
 The following comes with the traditions of the town. 
 During the latter part of the life of Dr. Church he was in 
 somewhat embarrassed circumstances and slow in paying 
 his debts. Being indebted to one of his neighbors for a small 
 sum, he was dunned quite relentlessly. Meeting on the 
 street, the neighbor pressed him for payment, at the same 
 time making some offensive remark. Dr. Church replied 
 with much dignity that he had tried to think of some name 
 bad enough to apply to him, but he couldn't think of any 
 
 other name worse than (using the neighbor's name). 
 
 He would therefore call him his own name and let hira pass. 
 It was said of Dr. Church that he was a judicious, but always a 
 cautious, physician. His judgment in relation to diseases 
 was discriminating and accurate. Dr. Church for many 
 years held the office of justice of the peace, then a distinc- 
 tion in New England society. He died at the age of 70 
 years in 1826. 
 
 Dea. Eleazer Warner. 
 
 (Contributed by his granddaughter, Mrs. Fanny Montague Stockbridge.) 
 
 Eleazer Warner, the third generation bearing that name 
 after the settlement of wSunderland, was born in 1755, inherit- 
 ing the homestead and a share of his ancestor's land por- 
 tioned out by lot to the original founders. 
 
 The patriotism, courage and uprightness of the family had 
 already been shown by their services in the French and In- 
 dian war, where Jonathan (Eleazer's uncle), and the Warner 
 cousins from Granby, had gained much distinction, one be- 
 coming colonel and the others attaining lesser honors. 
 
 Following their examples, Eleazer made haste to take his 
 gun when the war of the Revolution broke out and join one 
 of the frequent squads of marksmen without any ceremony 
 of enlisting or enrollment. In consequence of this lack of 
 formality, his name has not been found in the incomplete 
 register of Arnold's expedition to Canada, although it was 
 his severest and his last term of service in the army. It is, 
 however, mentioned in the town records, among men paid 
 by the town for short expeditions and may yet be discov- 
 ered in the state archives. Certain it is, that after much 
 hardship in the long marches of that severe winter he sue- 
 
218 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Climbed, while in Canada, to smallpox, which devastated the 
 ranks, was nursed in the army hospitals and came back per- 
 manently disabled, with impaired eyesight for the rest of his 
 life. He was an amiable, companionable man, modest and 
 retiring, all his life refusing to accept a government pension, 
 which was only designed, in his judgment, for those poor 
 fellows left without home and friends. 
 
 Possibly the trade of distilling cider to brandy, which was 
 his business for many years, was selected in consequence of 
 his feeble health ; it did not beget in him an appetite for any 
 sort of liquor, or lessen the esteem of his neighbors, who 
 elected the distiller to the honored office of deacon, which he 
 held till his death. He quitted the business before temper- 
 ance societies were ever heard of, brought up his numerous 
 famil}' without familiarity with drink, condemning rum at 
 the very time every clergyman indulged in a tipple before 
 preaching, because he was convinced that it was prejudicial 
 to health. Nobody dreamed of ranking intemperance among 
 sins. 
 
 At his death in 1829 the ministers of a dozen churches, 
 far and near, assembled to honor him with their eulogies. 
 The deacons of both Orthodox and unorthodox congrega- 
 tions were there also. (Those were days when feelings 
 were embittered by the parting of many to Unitarian creed.) 
 The town's people were all present. 
 
 As this may have been one of the last instances of Puri- 
 tanic funeral honors, it is here recorded: 
 
 It began in the morning and lasted all day. Every room 
 on the ground floor of the farm house was crowded with 
 rows of boards, balanced at each end on chairs, to seat the 
 throng. There were speakers in every room, but only one 
 at a time addressed the audience. Several mournful hymns 
 varied the proceedings. At mid-day a simple cold lunch was 
 passed, none leaving their seats. 
 
 At 4 ]). m. the funeral train was started for the graveyard 
 and the numerous grandchildren, who had been permitted 
 to view the exercises from the "top stairs" and the windows 
 of the second floor, once more regained their liberty. 
 
 Perhaps some of them, besides the writer, recall it still as 
 the grandest day of their lives.

 Dea. Warner's Girls. 
 
 (Contributed by Mrs. Fanny Montague Stockbridge.) 
 
 There is no intention of claiming for the daughters of 
 Dea. Warner any superiority over other girls of the same 
 period. But there were six of them and all lived to a good 
 old age, affording better opportunity to us, their success- 
 ors, for personal observation of their character and attain- 
 ments. 
 
 It is a mistake to suppose the children of our pious an- 
 cestors were born in Sunday primness and repeated go.s- 
 pel chapters naturally as nowaday children recite Mother 
 (lOose. Precocity never was long lived. At an early age, 
 when Kezia was 14, Dea. Warner advised his daughters of 
 the necessity of their earning their own expenses while they 
 were in perfect health. The eldest daughter being frail was 
 always exempted from labor. The two succeeding sisters, 
 and later, two more who were nearest their ages, set up 
 housekeeping in the north part of their father's house, pay- 
 ing rent, fire and food supplies, and they maintained this 
 separate household, notwithstanding their frequent absences, 
 until their marriage settled them elsewhere. Each of them 
 managed to lay by the small sum needed to take extra 
 schooling at Deerfield Academy and none chose to become 
 a member of some neighbor's family as "help." 
 
 They undertook jointly long tasks of wool spinning, flax 
 spinning, reeling, knitting heavy yarns. They brought to 
 Sunderland the first cotton ever seen there to be spun for 
 sail making, having obtained a contract for the work in 
 Northampton. The work being greater than they could ac- 
 complish with their own hands, their friends were permitted 
 to share in the money-making employment. It was of this 
 cotton spinning labor which Deacon John Montague whim- 
 sically wrote in the name of his housekeeping daughter, 
 Nabby, who wished to earn wages instead of washing 
 dishes. 
 
 "To Warner's spinning duck filling, 
 
 My mind is impatiently set. 
 My wages for work are five shillings 
 
 With Patty and Molly and Bet." 
 
220 HISTORY OP^ SUNDERLAND. 
 
 "In tow dust and shives I shall wallow, 
 
 My wheel it will clatter and sing, 
 This business I purpose to follow, 
 
 For earthen and gauze it will bring." 
 
 The good deacon wove only linen, had only knowledge of 
 "shives and tow," else he would have characterized the cot- 
 ton spinning with greater distaste. 
 
 Other occupations succeeded the choking cotton spinning, 
 such as sewing, tying fish nets, embroidery and designing. 
 They were able, through Deerfield Academy friends, to learn 
 of books beyond school books. Martha Warner paid for the 
 first encyclopedia ever owned in town. It was "Harris' En- 
 cyclopedia" in four volumes. The girls also read Young's 
 Night Thoughts, and scribbled rhymes themselves. They 
 read the infrequent news and puzzled over the foreign names 
 which intruded those days when Napoleon First was over- 
 running Europe. It was the concensus of opinion which 
 declared Bonaparte a word of five syllables, accented on the 
 third, Bii-o-f/a/y-av-to. Living on the west side of the street, 
 as they did, had its advantages. They could effervesce 
 "down lot" after the second service on Sunday, supposedly 
 walking to the graveyard, the only Sunday exercise in the 
 open air which was then permitted and which perverse girls 
 did not always accept. 
 
 They all sang, and the fugues they delighted in were lilt- 
 ing, rollicking, quick-metered tunes, as jolly as those to 
 which they danced; for though all were church members, all 
 were light-hearted, sunny-faced girls, whose amusements ac- 
 corded with the fashion of the era. 
 
 The white satin dancing slippers, half covered with tar- 
 nished gilt spangles, once worn by Martha Warner and which 
 hung in the garret till her daughter might have claimed 
 them, bore witness to the fact that "girls have always been 
 girls." vShe had declined an invitation to a "great ball" on 
 the plea that her slippers were worn out, though in truth it 
 was the wrong man who invited her; but with secret and ex- 
 traordinary speed the spangled slippers came on from Bo.s- 
 ton, and the under- valued beau presented himself, slippers 
 in hand, to the infinite amusement of teasing sisters, and 
 she went and wore them. 
 
 Mr. Herrick was preceptor of Deerfield Academy when 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 221 
 
 these girls began there the art of painting with water colors. 
 The landscapes and Bible pictures still extant represent a 
 creditable taste in color and correct technique, though the 
 laws of perspective were not exactly what we now require. 
 It should be said they labored with very rude appliances ; 
 paper, dear and poor, all imported from England, was uni- 
 form in quality and " foolscap " in size, and every sheet was 
 prominently disfigured by a large " water-mark." A large 
 sheet was always hand-made b}^ pasting additional strips 
 around a central sheet. Brushes were the result of much 
 skilled work in cat fur and goose quills. 
 
 The art study of two of the sisters, Mary and Martha, was 
 diverted to the important line of house decoration. They 
 drew the complicated patterns of famous "camlet quilts," 
 upon which years of needlework were bestowed. They de- 
 signed the white diaper bedspreads, which, with elaborate- 
 ly wrought "toilet covers," formed an indispensable part of 
 a well-to-do " setting out," as the trousseau was termed. The 
 double and triple sets of linen curtains for the high-post bed- 
 steads, the valences and nettings and fringes which com- 
 pleted its outfit, were directed and overlooked by them ; so 
 were the lace stitches and all that line of local, original work 
 known everywhere to-day as " New England embroidered 
 work." 
 
 They painted the white satin bags and covered baskets, 
 which were carried to the Sunday meetings, which held the 
 carraway and dill and a rare folding fan. 
 
 Two of them sung the high " Counter" in the Sunday ser- 
 vices, an honor grudgingly yielded by the Ashley girls, of 
 whom there were six, and with whose disappearance that 
 shrill, clear upper contralto vanished forever from the vil- 
 lage choir. 
 
 Kezia, the second daughter, married a Universalist clergy- 
 man named Perry Carver. The church did not notice the 
 lapse from Orthodoxy, and even invited her son Shubael, 
 who followed in his father's footsteps, to "conduct a service" 
 when he had completed his studies. 
 
 Mary Warner, the third daughter, married Elihu Russell, 
 a poor shoemaker living near the Rocks, a widower with 
 six little boys. Her big black eyes must have twinkled 
 merrily as she replied to remonstrating friends, " Somebody 
 
222 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 must marry him to take care of the children, for he couldn't 
 do much more than keep them in shoes." It was her deter- 
 mination and energy that started the boys and their father in a 
 two-horse wagon for the unknown, untrodden West. They 
 carried all they had in the wagon, and perhaps the most 
 precious of their belongings was an assortment of apple and 
 pear seeds, and the vegetables and grains which flourished 
 in the Connecticut river meadows. Beyond all roads, be- 
 yond all frontier squatters, they located 15 miles west of 
 Rochester, New York, and lived to eat the Sunderland apples 
 and pears in their frontier home. 
 
 After her own boys were grown and her husband had died, 
 the Russells migrated again to the frontier in Michigan, 
 from whence a big squad of Russells enlisted for the war of 
 the Rebellion. 
 
 After Mary was 70 years of age she began the study of the 
 piano and played acceptably in the church. She died at 96 
 years of age, 
 
 Martha Warner was a singer Sunderland delighted to 
 honor. The winter terms of the village singing school were 
 her only opportunities of learning music, and her aptness in 
 reading music at sight and rendering it with expression, 
 first made her reputation. 
 
 The events of the long, cold winters were musical conven- 
 tions, where " singing school teachers " sang rival solos, gave 
 intricate anthems and each bragged of their stiperior meth- 
 ods. A single teacher often trained at the same time five or 
 six schools in adjoining towns, and spurred them on by fre- 
 quent rivalries. But when three or four vSuch teachers, each 
 with their picked voices, gathered for competition, singers 
 far and near honored the occasion which had been widely 
 heralded, and the town was packed. 
 
 In some such gatherings Martha made her fame and for 
 many years was The soprano of the " Judgment Anthem." 
 
 At the time of the noted fever epidemic (a widow with 
 four children then) she sent them away to other towns, and 
 devoted herself entirely to night-watching and nursing the 
 sick families of poor neighbors for some months. 
 
 Eliza Warner, the handsomest girl in town, and to whose 
 brush we are indebted for the sketch of Sunderland, as it 
 appeared in 1808 or 18 10, was greatly esteemed for her social 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 223 
 
 tact, her many accomplishments and her readiness in rep- 
 artee. 
 
 She acquired more " book learning" than her older .sisters, 
 studying- not only in Deerfield, but in Amherst and Northamp- 
 ton. She married Tilly Lynde of Leverett. who became a 
 merchant in Sherburne, N. Y., and finally removed to Brook- 
 lyn. Amid the distractions of a long life she did not forget 
 her interest in art or her love for nature and found time to 
 practise with her brush and her needle in artistic lines. 
 
 Jerusha, the youngest, was never a member of the group 
 of Dea. Warner's daughters who " kept house on the north 
 side." Two brothers intervened between her and the elder 
 sisters. She kept the village school for a period of years, 
 until her marriage to Aretas Cadwell. 
 
 This brief record of girls who lived a hundred years ago 
 is given merely to show how women then, in spite of the hard- 
 ships and privations which were unavoidably a part of every 
 life, rose above the petty economies and depressing trials of 
 their lot and made the happiness and contentment of their 
 communities. 
 
 They were the true New England women who have reared 
 the indomitable Yankee men. 
 
 Seth Warner. 
 
 (Contributed.) 
 
 Seth Warner was born at the old ancestral homestead (Lot 
 No. 15, west side) in Sunderland street, December 30, 1787. 
 He was a son of Dea. Eleazer Warner and removed with his 
 father to Sunderland meadow, building a house there, where 
 he lived till 1834, when he built the brick hou.se in the street 
 now owned by the heirs of the late Darwin M. Clark (de- 
 ceased), to which place he removed with his family. In his 
 father's family there were three sons and six daughters. 
 Two of his sons and the six daughters lived to be 75 years of 
 age or more, and two daughters to be over 90 years old. 
 Seth, the subject of this sketch, had a family of 10 children, 
 eight of whom lived to be of mature age, and became scat- 
 tered in their lives from the Alantic to the Pacific, they 
 locating in Ma.ssachusetts, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, 
 Colorado and Oregon, but in the breadth of the father's out-

 look it made all those places of more interest to him, though 
 the home of his fathers and the friends of early days were 
 never for a moment forgotten or neglected. 
 
 As a citizen he was honest and upright, " doing justly, lov- 
 ing mercy." The stongest impression his children retained 
 of his character was his love of justice. Kind and consider- 
 ate to his neighbors, faithful in his work, a Christian in 
 every sense of the word, respected by all, beloved by those 
 who knew him best. 
 
 He passed at last "like a shock of corn fully ripe," to his 
 reward, the work finished that was given him to do. He 
 died at Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, October 25, 1862. 
 
 Eleazer Warner. 
 
 (Contributed.) 
 
 The fourth of that name in the town was born in 1789, 
 upon the homestead of his ancestors, where he resided till 
 his death in 1863. 
 
 From his earliest manhood, his independence in thought 
 and action was recognized by all his acquaintances, as well as 
 his ability to give satisfactory reasons for his beliefs. 
 
 In his early career, a debating society was formed in the 
 village to discuss questions of local and general interest, 
 partly as means of developing ready thought in public ex- 
 tempore speaking, and partly to diffuse a knowledge of 
 national questions, among the many who gained all political 
 information at second-hand. 
 
 It is not remembered if Mr. Eleazer Warner organized this 
 debating society, but he was the ver}' life and soul of it dur- 
 ing his best years, and whichever side he attacked was cer- 
 tain to fall into the minority. 
 
 At that period every one was taxed to support the clergy- 
 man, whether they attended the church or not, whether they 
 professed the same or different religious beliefs. This rul- 
 ing of State laws was regarded by Mr. Warner as an infringe- 
 ment of liberty and he opposed it with all his might, finally 
 ending the controversy by resigning all membership and 
 fellowship with the organized parish. This secession did 
 not in the least relieve him from paying his annual tax, 
 which was according to the law. Perhaps he gloried in 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 225 
 
 being counted an outsider, but the disapproval of his friends 
 was so tempered with personal esteem he had no chance to 
 maintain a warfare defending- his course. 
 
 His tender sympathy with trial and sickness was felt in 
 every suffering home. His prescriptions were more prized 
 than the doctor's ; his cheery confidence gave strength 
 through the long night watches, where he was the first to 
 volunteer his services ; and his buoyant trust in his Saviour 
 and his God, untrammeled by formula or creed, supported 
 many a faint-hearted saint at the hour of death. 
 
 An independent thinker is likely to try experiments. 
 .Such meet a kinder reception these days than formerly. Of 
 Mr. Warner's frequent experiments none was more in evi- 
 dence than the house he planned and built with his own 
 hands, on part of the land of his inherited homestead. Our 
 travelled citizens would find nothing worth noting in it to- 
 day, but when it was completed, the law of New England man- 
 sions was as fixed as the patterns of their patch-work quilts, 
 and Mr. Eleazer Warner's hou:se, one story high in front and 
 two stories in the rear, was almost enough to provoke a sec- 
 ond Revolution. 
 
 He economized his time in many ways to get more hours 
 for .solid reading. The daily newspaper which he received 
 from New York (before dailies had been established at 
 Springfield and other inland towns), was read aloud to him 
 during his meals by his daughters in turn, and his comments 
 and explanations made the reading a privilege. 
 
 The writer will never forgfet sitting on his knee when 
 very young and being solemnly told " Always hold fast to 
 your friends." It was probably one of his theories, certainly 
 always his practice. 
 
 Dea. Quartus Smith. 
 
 Dea. Quartus Smith was born in Sunderland, March 5, 
 1773 ; died January 20, 1854, aged 80 years. He was chosen 
 deacon in 1822. Dea. Smith, whose paternal ancestors came 
 to this country but 14 years later than did the Pilgrims, and 
 was contemporaneous with them, was himself a true type of 
 a " New England Puritan." He was a hard-working man, 
 with a strong, muscular frame, with great powers of endur- 
 
226 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 ance and possessor of great spiritual power. Rev. S. I). 
 Clark, a former pastor in Sunderland, said in the sermon de- 
 livered at his funeral, " Dea. Smith needs no eulogy. His 
 life is his eulogy." In order to know him one should have 
 witnessed his life, day by da}', year after year, as he min- 
 gled with the families of the church to talk upon the subject 
 of religion, and to pray for the household ; or as he was in 
 prayer meeting, where he was a constant attendant and ever 
 ready to conduct the exercises of the meeting in the absence 
 of the pastor ; to lead in prayer or in the singing, which he did 
 till prevented b}' the infirmities of age. He was remarkably 
 gifted in prayer and is remembered as he appeared in prayer 
 to be talking face to face with God. Thus absorbed he had 
 no perception of the passing of time. It is told of him that 
 at one prayer meeting he prayed for an hour, and that 
 " Elias Graves who followed him prayed a half an hour." 
 
 We recall his towering form, his abundant white hair and 
 the absolute certainty with which he slowly rose as he named 
 one of the intricate old fugues, and from the resonance of 
 his pitch pipe selected the leading note. If his praN^er was 
 talk with his ^Maker, his praise corresponded in its rapt and 
 soaring strain. No minor key, with its fluctuating flats and 
 sharps, ever led his voice astray, and the swaying of his 
 gigantic form indicated the majestic measure. 
 
 He had a robust tenor voice, of such calibre that when 
 it was once started it filled the room and he could hear 
 only his own song. Without having received any musical 
 training whatever, he was able to lead any tune which had 
 once been sung in his presence, consequently he did not read 
 musical notes. No old Puritan ever gave more glorious 
 meaning to the swing of the words and the movement of 
 the air " on Cherubim and Seraphim full royally he rode," 
 and carried beyond himself in his trance of praise he would 
 rise on his tip-toes with exultation which cannot be de- 
 scribed. 
 
 It was the custom long ago. particularly in conference 
 meetings, for the leading singers to stand up while singing, 
 grouped about the desk. Standing near each other, Seth 
 Warner, Cephas Graves, Horace Henderson and Francis 
 Frary, with the good deacon as leader, might be relied on to 
 roll out the deep baritone accompaniment to the hymns. 
 
IIISTORV OF SUNDERLAND. 227 
 
 Dea. Smith would give the key and then devotional music 
 began. If culture was scant, inspiration abounded, accom- 
 panied by the awe of genuine worship. When in old age 
 his voice began to fail, the younger singers declined the 
 deacon's help, but there were frequent occasions when the 
 choir would fail, or quarrel or agree not to agree save as 
 they called on Dea. Smith to help them. When the emer- 
 gency was past they would tell him they did not want him 
 any longer, and he would quietly leave, ready to assist them 
 again when needed. 
 
 Inheriting musical talent from this ancestral puritan, the 
 descendants of Dea. Smith for successive generations have 
 been prominent among the musicians of the town. 
 
 Horace W. Taft. 
 
 Horace W. Taft, Esq., graduated from Dartmouth college 
 in 1806, came to Sunderland in 18 10 and began the practice 
 of law. He married a daughter of Dea. John Montague and 
 succeeded him in the office of town clerk, being first elected 
 March 6th, 1815, which office he held fifty years and until he 
 retired from business. He served the town many years as 
 general school committee, and several years represented the 
 town in the Legislature, where he was a leading and influen- 
 tial member. He held the office of County Commissioner 
 first by appointment by the Governor, and was elected after- 
 wards three terms to the office. 
 
 Dr. Gardiner Dor range. 
 
 It was during the time Dr. Dorrance resided in town that 
 the work of putting the street fences on a line and the plant- 
 ing of maple trees on either side of the street commenced. 
 The fences spoken of were previously set very irregularly, 
 some standing out several feet further than others. Dr. 
 Dorrance was one of the leaders and very enthusiastic in the 
 matter. It is said that Gains Smith set out the first row of 
 maples in front of his residence, which was where William 
 Gaylord now lives. They have all gone to decay but one 
 and been replaced by others.

 Elihu Rowe 
 
 Was born in Sunderland in 1794 and died in 1840. His 
 name is connected with offices of trust and honor from early 
 manhood. When only 32 years old he was elected deacon 
 of the church, an office then signifying entire confidence in 
 the mental, moral and religious character of the holder, and 
 from whom all the community could ask advice and support. 
 Although Elihu Rowe's estimate of his own acquirements 
 prompted frequent withdrawals and excuses from undertak- 
 ing public work, his large circle of neighbors, relatives and 
 acquaintances in adjacent towns continued to press him 
 into the labor of adviser and counsellor in every intricate 
 matter. 
 
 Particularly was this the case with clergymen and other 
 professions entirely outside the line of occupation which 
 Deacon Rowe pursued. 
 
 Among those who availed themselves of his clear-headed 
 judgment was Mary Lyon, at that time striving to lay the 
 foundations of Holyoke college. It was then in its begin- 
 ning regarded an innovation, this separate exclusive woman's 
 institution, and much laughed at as a chimerical undertaking. 
 Riding back and forth from her home in Buckland to South 
 Hadley, Deacon Rowe's house formed a desirable stopping 
 place for Mary Lyon, where rest and help were certain. The 
 deacon's daughters still remember her intense earnestness 
 and respectful deference, as sitting by the cheerful fire and 
 knitting with all the speed a Yankee woman inherits, she 
 laid out her drawings and told her estimates and all the mul- 
 titude of obstacles which encompassed her. During the 
 hours of labor, while the deacon farmed, Mary Lyon visited 
 the women of the village, collecting gifts of money, food and 
 furniture. The bold temperance position in Mary Lyon's 
 published rules at the commencement of her school were 
 part of the result of her intimate friendship with Deacon 
 Rowe, whose purse was as open to her as was his advice. 
 
 He was one of the original " tetotallers" when the name 
 was bestowed in derision or contempt. The petty torments 
 intended to annoy him never ruffled his placid serenity. 
 His work was consistent, conservative, and always commend- 
 able. 
 
Juliette Montague Cook. 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 229 
 
 Dea. John Montague, 3RD. 
 
 John Montague, son of John, son of Caleb, son of Samuel, 
 son of John, son of Richard the emigrant, who settled in 
 Hadley, was born in 1796 and died in 1881. 
 
 Those who still remember his solemn face and slow, ma- 
 jestic gait, will appreciate the hesitation felt in making a 
 poor endeavor to mention some salient points in his charac- 
 ter. 
 
 One said of him " being a great reader on a variety of sub- 
 jects, he wanted to discuss them all." He seemed to have 
 inherited the fun which should have been spread over a 
 dozen generations of Montagues. He lived in another world 
 from that which gave him his moderate speech and his sober 
 face. 
 
 Underneath that Puritanic visage there bubbled and 
 sparkled a never-failing fount of drollery, of hectoring, of 
 repartee, which was enhanced by his staid, slow, unconscious 
 manner. 
 
 He could offer to escort a homesick niece to her distant 
 parents on a grand wheelbarrow with a sheepskin cover, with 
 such intense realism it seemed to become an actual occur- 
 rence ; or perplex a half-grown nephew by search for a for- 
 gotten planting of former years, till it grew to the dimensions 
 of a perennial joke. Life was not all a pastime for him. 
 
 He was a decided and dignified man of deep religious 
 feeling, well balanced, tolerant of changes in society and ap- 
 preciative of the developments of the 19th century. 
 
 Mrs. Juliette Montague Cooke. 
 
 (Contributed.) 
 
 Miss Juliette Montague, the eldest daughter of Caleb 
 Montague, was born in Sunderland, March loth, 1812. 
 
 She grew up one of the intelligent, capable women of the 
 period which gave Mary Lyons and Catherine Beechers to 
 push on the work of education and Christianity in New Eng- 
 land. Her education after the death of her father was large- 
 ly obtained by her own efforts. 
 
 She was married November 24th, 1836, to Mr. Amos S. 
 Cooke, then under appointment as missionary to the Ha- 
 
230 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 waiian islands, and started with the large reinforcement of 
 teachers who sailed that season to Christianize those islands. 
 
 The .ship (Mary Frazier) made the long journey in ii6 
 days, and upon arrival Mr. and Mrs. Cooke were selected 
 from the group of i6 teachers as best fitted to take charge of 
 the education of the children of ro3'al chiefs, whose parents 
 urged special efforts in their behalf. 
 
 The selection made was so satisfactory that Mr. and Mrs. 
 Cooke were continued in this labor about 14 years, when 
 the maturity of the 3-oungest pupils brought this labor to an 
 end. 
 
 These Royal Princes and Princesses, during the whole of 
 this time, were members of the Cooke family as entirely as 
 if they had no other relatives, and with them was a big ret- 
 inue of native followers to wait upon their young chiefs, 
 cook native food for them, and indulge their slightest 
 wishes. Besides this throng the very remarkable Chief John 
 li and his wife were established in the family as personal 
 guardians of the children. 
 
 Grouped around the buildings occupied by this Royal 
 school were the dwellings of the Kamehameka III, then 
 reigning King ; and the premier Kekauluohi and her hus- 
 band C Kanaina, whose son Lunalilo subsequently reigned 
 over the islands. 
 
 Ample grounds enclosed all these buildings, and the en- 
 trance, through heavy wooden gates, was constantly guarded 
 by armed sentinels, while the coral walls prevented an}- im- 
 pertinent intrusion into the interior. 
 
 These young natives, varying in age from thirteen to two, 
 were the especial charge of Mrs. Cooke to love, control and 
 train, besides supervising the entire establishment and edu- 
 cating a rising family of her own. 
 
 Seldom could Mrs. Cooke leave home, for " eternal vigi- 
 lance was the price of safety." The attendants needed 
 watching and training as much as the children ; the cloth- 
 ing for this large family had all to be fashioned and com- 
 pleted under her eye ; and singing, in which they became 
 quickly proficient, was wholly taught by Mrs. Cooke. 
 
 She had a voice of singular power and clearness, that 
 soared above all others, and her gift of song greatly increased 
 her personal influence. The bonnets she invented, the in- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 231 
 
 experienced assistants whom she inspired with devotion to 
 the work, the frequent consultations and preaching which 
 she undertook in native Hawaiian, and above all "her won- 
 derful gift of making' the best of things," endeared her alike 
 to Hawaiian and foreigner. 
 
 The Lunalilo home in Honolulu, where aged and infirm 
 Hawaiians are cared for, and the Kamehameha schools, bear 
 enduring testimony to the value of her training ; both be- 
 ing gifts in after years from her royal pupils. 
 
 Her labors did not terminate with the maturity of her 
 pupils ; from that time forward she became " Mother Cooke " 
 to the entire community. Having had large experience in 
 educating Hawaiian people, she became a counsellor and 
 sympathizer to the younger classes of instructors, an ad- 
 viser to mothers, a nurse to the suffering and friendless, and 
 a good Samaritan to the needy. 
 
 She has passed to her rest in humble faith, in her 85th 
 
 year.

 Charles Montague. 
 
 (Contributed.) 
 
 Charles, son of Caleb and grandson of the first Dea. John 
 Montague, was born on the old homestead in 1818. His 
 father's death when he was 9 years old, and the straightened 
 circumstances of his family, led to his selection of a trade. He 
 was apprenticed at 14 to a book printer in Amherst. When 
 he was in his 19th year, his master's business being destroyed 
 by fire, he began the publication of a weekly newspaper in 
 T.enox, entitled the Massachusetts Eagle, taking thither with 
 him as editor, Mr. Henry W. Taft, his cousin, who also was 
 in his minority. 
 
 The handicraft of printing which Mr. Montague had fully 
 mastered, continued to be his absorbing interest and study, 
 although he took prominent part in local politics and as- 
 sumed the editorship of the paper after Mr. Taft com- 
 menced his legal career. He removed the publication of the 
 Eagle to Pittsfield, and gained a high repute for the techni- 
 cal quality of his job printing. His visits to the New York 
 city type foundries for repairs and additions to his working 
 outfit were his only opportunities of observing what had 
 been accomplished in the development of printing. 
 
232 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 In 1842 or 1843 he evolved the plan of an entirely new- 
 printing press, which he discussed, not only at home but in 
 New York among the trade. It was several years before he 
 built his first model, which was set up and used in his office 
 for many years. During this time he became familiar with 
 the work of stereotyping and announced that it would revo- 
 lutionize printing and that for its use he would perfect a 
 cylinder press. It was made and was freely shown to all in- 
 terested, received admiring notices from the papers, &c. 
 After six months' experimental working and perfecting of it, 
 he applied at the patent office for his patent, only to learn 
 that the New York printers visiting his office had stolen and 
 patented his invention. Instead of fighting for his right he 
 regarded it as a high compliment to his success and skill and 
 said, " I shall make a dozen presses better than that." That 
 cylinder press contained the new points developed into the 
 famous Hoe printing press, still leading other presses in its 
 importance. 
 
 Among the after inventions of Mr. Montague may be 
 named the Acme book cutter, several small printing presses 
 for limited power ; the first cylinder color printing press, 
 printing eight colors without re-handling ; and (upon which 
 he spent $40,000 without reaping any reward) many original 
 " movements " to lessen friction in machines already in use. 
 
 His originality was freel}'^ admitted, and many were the 
 firms which solicited his interest. The Wheeler & Wilson 
 Sewing Machine Co., then in its first success, offered him 
 full partnership if he would devote his skill and time to their 
 work. He replied : "Printing is a grander work than sewing,"' 
 and would listen to no offer. 
 
 His residence was frequently changed that he might be 
 near the shops which materialized his inventions. While a 
 resident of Boston in 1876, he was one of 40 male singers 
 selected to display the musical talent of the Handel and Haydn 
 vSociety at the Philadelphia Centennial. 
 
 His affection for his native town remained, and here he 
 came to die and be buried.

 to the town was Ira Montag'iie, who repeatedly served the 
 town as selectman and assessor, a man quiet and unobtrusive 
 in his manner, rather conservative, but of most excellent 
 judgment. To him as the pioneer in the work of opening the 
 town drains, from which has followed health to our town, a 
 grateful remembrance is due. It has been said that the 
 standing of our town is the tenth in the sanitary reports of 
 the State. The services of Albert Montague, his son, will 
 long be remembered. He represented his district in the 
 Legislature and held every office in the gift of the town, 
 holding the office of selectman twenty-five years, being 
 chairman of the board a good share of the time. He was 
 chairman of the selectmen during the late Civil war and 
 rendered important and valuable service in aiding the town 
 to furnish the quota of men demanded by the government ; 
 was one of the foremost of those who were instrumental in 
 procuring a free bridge and in the erection of the substan- 
 tial iron structure which spans the Connecticut river at Sun- 
 derland, which is of so much importance to the interests of 
 the town. 
 
 William W. Russell. 
 
 William W. Russell, son of Justin and wSarah (Wiley) Rus- 
 sell, was born in Sunderland, December 26th, 1809; con- 
 nected by descent with the earliest settlers of the Connecti- 
 cut River valley. He married in 1833, Lucretia Delano, 
 daughter of William and Lucretia (Hubbard) Delano. 
 
 He was quite prominent in town affairs, holding at various 
 times many of the town offices, serving as chairman of the 
 selectmen a number of times. He was also often chosen as 
 one of the board of assessors. lie was very correct and up- 
 right in all his dealings and was one of the earliest of his 
 townsmen to espouse the cause of temperance. When it was 
 the custom to furnish wines to guests at weddings, he set 
 the example of total abstinence, and furnished no wine with 
 hospitalities. 
 
 He represented his town and district two terms in the State 
 Legislature. 
 
 Horace Lyman. 
 Horace Lyman was born in Hadley, (Hockanum) October 
 
234 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 14, 1802. He married Elvira Hubbard of Sunderland, May 
 2nd, 1827. He removed from Hadley to this town with his 
 family in 1834, settling on a farm in the south part of the 
 town, where he lived nearly twenty years. He at once took 
 a prominent position in social, business and political life, 
 honored and respected by the citizens of his adopted town. 
 For many years he was superintendent of the Sunday 
 school. He was chosen on the board of school committee in 
 1836, and for ten years following acceptably served in the 
 same capacity. He represented the town in the Legislature 
 of 1852, having been chosen at the election in November 
 previous, on the Free Soil ticket. He served on Gov. Gard- 
 ner's council two years, and for several years held the office 
 of trial justice. 
 
 For several years while living in the meadow district he 
 carried on the jewelry business in Amherst, but in 1853 he 
 sold that and his farm and came to the village, buying out 
 the general store business of R. D. Fish, on the north corner 
 of Main and Bridge streets. He continued the business till 
 the fall of 1854, when he sold out and moved to Greenfield, 
 where he carried on the dry goods business in the town hall 
 building about five years. Disposing of his business there 
 he returned to this town in 1859. The store building he 
 previously occupied having been burned, he erected a new 
 building on the same spot, and opened a general country 
 store, which he conducted there and on the opposite corner 
 for nearly twenty years. 
 
 He was appointed postmaster by Lincoln on his accession 
 to the office of President in 1861, and held the office under 
 successive appointments until he resigned in 1879, ^^ which 
 time he left his store, living a retired life in the village after- 
 wards, though occasionally doing some business for his 
 townsmen, .settling estates and assisting in the disposal of 
 farm produce for his neighbor farmers. 
 
 A genial, pleasant, affable and kind-hearted man, he made 
 many friends and few, if an}', enemies. He died May 20th, 
 1884.

 times, taught in the public schools, at one time taking a 
 school from which his two immediate predecessors were 
 driven by the pupils, the last being carried out and deposited 
 in a snow bank. He, however, was soon master of the situa- 
 tion. 
 
 In the autumn of 1837 he began the practice of his profes- 
 sion in Buckland, Massachusetts. He was married April 
 9th, 1839, to Catharine, daughter of Alpheus and Sophia 
 White Brooks, who died at Sunderland, October 28th, 1873. 
 While residing in Buckland, five children were born to them, 
 four of whom died in infancy. In Buckland he took an active 
 part in the affairs of town and church, serving as postmaster 
 and on the school-board, and as a deacon in the Congrega- 
 tional church. He removed to Sunderland in 1851, where 
 he resided until his death, exchanging practices with his 
 brother Josiah. A daughter, Mary Elizabeth, was born in 
 Sunderland, who died in 1863. While living in Sunderland 
 he took a deep interest and active part in all the affairs of 
 the town, and was for a time a member of the school board. 
 He was also active in the church, and was for a number of 
 years superintendent of the Sunday school. In politics he 
 was a Republican. He continued in the active and success- 
 ful practice of his profession in Sunderland and the adjacent 
 towns until a few years before his death, when failing health 
 compelled him to give up his work. 
 
 He died February 4th, 1888, one son, Cornelius Oilman, 
 surviving him, who was married, June 5th, 1872, to Oenevra 
 A., daughter of Samuel A. and Mary B. Shaw" of Springfield, 
 Massachusetts. A self-made man, energetic, of great deter- 
 mination, a ready and forcible speaker, he was a power in 
 the community. A man of positive opinions and uncompro- 
 mising, he made firm friends and bitter enemies. Although 
 somewhat austere in appearance, he was a man of kindly 
 heart and sympathetic nature, a firm friend of the children, 
 ever ready to aid in the promotion of any good cause, or to 
 lend a helping hand in time of trouble, to give freely to the 
 poor and needy his best professional skill.

 county, Vermont, September 23, 1827. His early years were 
 spent upon the farm, attending school during the winter 
 months and later graduated at the Black River academy, 
 Ludlow, Vt. In 1854 he took up the publishing business and 
 it was in this industry that he became well-known. His pub- 
 lications were '* Johnson's Family Atlas," " Johnson's Facts 
 for Farmers," "Johnson's Natural History," "Hitchcock's 
 Analysis of the Bible" and "Johnson's Universal Cyclopae- 
 dia." 
 
 Mr. Johnson was married to Miss Lucia Helena Warner, 
 May 17th, 185 1, who, (1899) with a son and two daughters, 
 survives him. He made vSunderland his home at one time 
 and was deeply interested in all that concerned its welfare. 
 His efforts and gifts toward erecting a new and commodious 
 school building, the giving of an organ to the church and 
 five hundred dollars to the library, are a few of his benefac- 
 tions. Mr. Johnson was, during much of his life, the es- 
 teemed and trusted friend of Horace Greeley. Strict integ- 
 rity, hospitality and unbounded zeal were his predominat- 
 ing traits. Died April 22nd, 1884.

 at the public schools of the town, having also the advantage 
 of a few terms at Williston seminary at Easthampton soon 
 after it was first opened. 
 
 All through his life he had a love for study, being pos- 
 sessed of a strong, well-balanced mind. At the time he was 
 a student at Williston he had the reputation of being the best 
 scholar in the English department, and for several terms he 
 was successively chosen president of the literary societies of 
 the seminary. When becoming of age and after duly con- 
 sidering what business he should engage in, he decided, in 
 deference to his father's wishes, to become a farmer, and he 
 may be considered to have been a model one. He managed 
 his farm with thoroughness and success, being much inter- 
 ested in fruit culture, withal. 
 
238 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 He served as president of the Hampshire Agricultural 
 society for one year or more, was for many years an active 
 member of the Franklin Harvest club. He was commenda- 
 bly interested in the public welfare of the community in 
 which he lived, at one time laboring earnestly and succes.s- 
 fully to secure the premium offered by Hon. Horace Gree- 
 ley to the town which would report first to him, properly 
 certified, that two grape vines had been set and growing at 
 every dwelling house in town. By his energy and persist- 
 ence the money was obtained, and was added to the fund of 
 the town library. He was called upon to serve as an officer 
 in his native town, the parish and church. He served for 
 several years as clerk and treasurer of the church, and of 
 the benevolent societies of the church, performing the duties 
 of those offices with fidelity, accuracy and extreme honesty. 
 He was frequently called upon to act as moderator in town 
 meetings, for which position he was well qualified. He was 
 active and efficient in his connection with the parish and 
 church, and during his whole life a constant attendant of the 
 Sabbath school, holding the position as teacher of the same 
 class during the last twenty-five years of his life, 
 
 Mr. Smith was conservative in his disposition, well settled 
 and strong in his convictions, thoroughly conscientious in 
 his actions, and held in high esteem and respect by a wide 
 circle of acquaintances. 
 
 He died February 21st, 1893, at the age of 72. 
 
 He was married in November, 1846, to Clarissa J. Gunn, 
 who survived him. 
 
 HoLLis D. Graves. 
 
 HoUis Daniel Graves came from a long line of prominent 
 ancestry connected with the history of our town. Benja- 
 min Graves came from Hatfield to Sunderland among the 
 first settlers in 17 14, and was the original owner of lot No. 
 16, west side, where he lived and reared a large family. His 
 great-grandson, Warren M., left the paternal homestead and 
 purcha.sed lot No. 18, east side, and built the house which 
 has since been the family home. There were born to him 
 eight children, Ilollis Daniel being born August 23rd. 1839. 
 His early life was spent at home on the farm. His educa- 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 239 
 
 tion was obtained in the pu1)lic schools and at Powers insti- 
 tute, Bernardston. x\fter the death of his father, in 1859, he 
 assumed the full management of the farm quite successfully. 
 In his death, Sunderland lost one of her best citizens. A 
 native of the town, his life was spent there, and for it he 
 always manifested a deep love. In times of trial he was al- 
 ways sympathizing- and helpful, and many a heart will treas- 
 ure the memory of his kindnesses in days of sorrow. He 
 was an affectionate son, a faithful husband, a kind father, a 
 loving brother and steadfast friend. As a citizen he was 
 public spirited, taking an active interest in all town affairs, 
 serving the town during several terms of office upon the 
 school board ; a member of the library board from its es- 
 tablishment, and also one of the trustees of the cemetery, and 
 to his labor and intelligent care and excellent taste much of 
 the beauty of that " (jod's acre " is due. Many of the beauti- 
 ful shade trees which adorn the village were planted bv his 
 hand. He loved his native town and his home. He died 
 August 29th, 1896. 
 
 John R. SMnii. 
 
 John R. Smith was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, June 
 2ist, 1809. He came to Sunderland in the spring of 18 17, and 
 lived in the family of Dea. Elihu Rowe, a relative, till he be- 
 came twenty-one years of age, after which time he worked 
 for several of the Sunderland farmers by the month or year 
 as a farm hand, until by industry and great frugality he had 
 saved enough of his earnings to purchase a farm and com- 
 mence business as a farmer for himself. During all the 
 years since he arrived at manhood, he has been a much re- 
 spected citizen of the town of his adoption, always ready to 
 assist in every good work in the community. He has re- 
 peatedly served the town as selectman, assessor, treasurer 
 and collector, faithfully and with credit to the town and him- 
 self. Being naturally conservative and careful in his man- 
 agement of town affairs, he has been exceedingly popular as 
 town officer ; and often has his name been placed upon a bal- 
 lot for election as town officer, when there were other candi- 
 dates for the same office. His name, at such times, was sure 
 to prevail. He has been considered equally reliable in mat- 
 
240 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 ters pertaining to the church or parish, both of which organ- 
 izations counted him a member. Naturally rather gruff and 
 repelling in manner, yet of an exceedingly kind nature, and a 
 strong friend to the upright, but with little sympathy or 
 patience with evil doers. 
 
 At the present time, at the age of eighty-nine years, he is 
 in good health, and although quite deaf, is still able to attend 
 to matters relating to the conduct of his farm. He remarked 
 to the writer a few days since that there was but one person 
 (Mrs. Pomeroy) now living in town who was here when he 
 came here eighty-one years ago, eight years of age. 
 
 Henry W. Taft. 
 
 Henry Walbridge Taft, son of Horace Wood aira Mary 
 (Montague) Taft, was born at Sunderland, November 13, 
 1818. After having been partially fitted for college at 
 Amherst academy he was prevented from entering upon a 
 college course. In 1836 he entered the office of Elijah Al- 
 vord, Esq., at Greenfield, who was at that time clerk of the 
 court and register of probate for Franklin county. Mr. Taft 
 remained there for a little over a year, and the experience 
 there gained materially influenced his after life. 
 
 In the spring of 1838 he assumed editorial charge of the 
 Massachusetts Eagle, the leading Whig paper of Berkshire 
 county, then published at Lenox, and still continued at Pitts- 
 field under the name of the Berkshire Comity Eagle. For the 
 rest of that year and a portion of the year following Mr. Taft 
 continued his editorial work, and later, during the presiden- 
 tial campaign of 1840, resumed it for a few months. 
 
 In the meantime he had begun the study of law in the 
 office of the late Judge Henry W. Bishop at Lenox, and in 
 the summer of 1841, formed a partnership with Robbins 
 Kellogg, Esq., at West Stockbridge. In October of the same 
 year he was admitted to the bar, and a month later, upon the 
 death of Mr. Kellogg, succeeded to his practice. He contin- 
 ued actively in the practice of law to the close of 1852. hav- 
 ing in the meantime represented West Stockbridge in the 
 legislature of 1847. 
 
 In the beginning of 1853 Mr. Taft was appointed Register 
 of Probate for the county of Berkshire and removed to 
 
HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 241 
 
 Lenox, but before the two years had passed he was removed, 
 in common with many other Massachusetts officeholders 
 who had refused to join the new native American or " Know 
 Nothing'" party, which had triumphed in the elections of 
 1S54. In January, 1856, he received from the Supreme Judi- 
 cial court of Massachusetts the appointment of clerk of the 
 courts for Berkshire count}^ and when later in the same 
 year, by a change in the constitution of the State, the position 
 l)ecame an elective one, he was chosen for the full term of 
 five years. Since then at eight successive elections he has 
 been continued in the same office, his last term closing Jan- 
 uary 6, 1897, when, having declined a re-election, he retired 
 after having served continuously for the period of forty-one 
 years. 
 
 During the long term of his professional and public life the 
 high esteem in which Mr. Taft has been held has been strik- 
 ingly evidenced by the large number of estates the settle- 
 ment of which have been confided to his charge as executor or 
 trustee, while he has tried many cases in his own and the 
 neighl)oring counties as auditor, master or referee, and for 
 seventeen years he served as a trustee of the State Luna- 
 tic hospital at Northampton. 
 
 In 1871 Mr. Taft removed from Lenox to Pittsfield, where 
 he has since resided. Upon the organization of the Third 
 National bank of Pittsfield in 1881 Mr. Taft was cho.sen its 
 president. He is also a member of the Massachusetts His- 
 torical .society, the American Antiquarian society and several 
 local societies of kindred character. 
 
 A VERY D. IIur.P.ARD. 
 
 Avery Douglas Hubbard, .son of Elijah and Rhoda (Graves) 
 Hubbard, was born April 7th, 1819, a descendant of two of 
 the old families of Sunderland. 
 
 His home in the early part of his life was in the north part 
 of the town, in that part called the "Canada district," where 
 he continued to live the first few years of his married life. 
 His early education was limited, his father dying while he 
 (|uite young, leaving his mother with quite a family to care 
 for. But she being equal to the situation, the children 
 lacked nothing in their training to make them useful citi- 
 zens. 
 
242 HISTORY OF SUNDERLAND. 
 
 Their home was about three miles from the village and 
 when a young man he was in the habit of walking to the 
 village to attend the weekly lyceum, an institution which has 
 done much for education in many a New England town. 
 At the Lyceum he improved every opportunity to engage in 
 the discussion of the different topics presented for debate 
 and thus became quite proficient as a debater, and gained 
 thereby much information. 
 
 By occupation he was a farmer, carrying on the home , 
 farm in connection with his brother. But later in life that 
 connection was dissolved, he changing his residence for one 
 situated a little north of Sunderland village, at the same 
 time adding to his business that of middle-man and huckster, 
 which in his case included buying and selling farm produce, 
 garden vegetables, ice, fish and oysters, disposing of his 
 commodities at retail to families in his own town and in 
 some of those adjoining, making weekly trips with his horse 
 and wagon to reach his customers. 
 
 For a good many years he made these trips through Sun- 
 derland, Leverett, North Leverett, Shutesbury and Monta- 
 gue, the extreme cold or storms never preventing or keep- 
 ing him at home. 
 
 During these weekly trips he has carried religious papers 
 and pamphlets to be distributed free wherever he went, and 
 always in readiness to talk upon the subject of religion or 
 temperance with any who would respectfully listen, in fact, 
 acting as a colporteur in the out of the way and sparsely in- 
 habited localities. His weekly visits have taken him into i 
 district of one of the above named towns where there were 
 no religious advantages, no attendance upon church service 
 on the Sabbath, and where he has been indefatigable in his 
 efforts for good to the people living there. The result has 
 been that he has been the means directly and indirectly of 
 establishing a Congregational church organization there, j 
 which has now regular pastoral service Sabbath and week 
 day. In his own community he has long been an earnest 
 vSabbath school worker, both as teacher and as librarian, 
 having acted as librarian of the vSabbath school connected 
 with the First Congregational church for more than fifty 
 years.

 John Muntaguk vSmi'I'ii. 
 
 (Contributed by IIdii. Menry Stockbridj^t:, H;iltiinure, Md.) 
 
 Xo resident of Sunderland of the generation now living is 
 more widely known within and without the town than John 
 Montague Smith. His father, Austin Smith, was a native of 
 Hadley, but removed to Sunderland in early life, and here 
 John M. vSmith was born, July 6th, 1825. and has ever sinee 
 resided. 
 
 Like nearly all of his fellow townsmen, farming has been 
 his principal occupation, though while pursuing that he has 
 found opportunity to give much attention to public affairs 
 affecting the town and county, having been twice elected 
 speci:d commissioner, and served two terms as county com- 
 missioner, as a member of the town committee for the erec- 
 tion of the present town house and school building, and also 
 as one of the commissioners for the building c^f the suspen- 
 sion bridge across the Connecticut river at Turners Falls, 
 besides being several times on the board of selectmen, town 
 treasurer and assessor. 
 
 It was to a large degree due to his efforts that in 1875 the 
 vSunderland bridge was made free. During one term also he 
 was a member of the State Board of x\griculture. In addi- 
 tion to these he has long occupied the position of town clerk, 
 besides being active in all social and church life of Sunder- 
 land for many years. 
 
 He became secretary of the Sunderland Farmers' club, and 
 in that organization and also as a member of the Franklin 
 Harvest club, was called upon to prepare papers upon vari- 
 ous subjects to be read before those organizations, or to gath- 
 erings of farmers in various towns of the county. As a 
 natural outgrowth of this his views became in demand upon 
 agriculLurul topics, and his contributions to the press for the 
 last fifteen years have been frequent and important. His 
 zeal in church matters, coupled with his knowledge of the 
 history of the town, acquired in his position as town clerk, 
 aroused an especial interest in all that pertained to the his- 
 tory of Sunderland, which also found expression in his con- 
 tributions to the press of Franklin county. The labor of 
 compiling a history of the town had already been begun by 
 his cousin, Hon. Henry W. Taft of Pittslield, and when ad- 
 
24-4 HISTORY OF SUNDERT.AND. 
 
 vancing years and physical infirmities made it apparent that 
 that gentleman would not complete what he had begun, 
 there was no one who could as effectively or with equal 
 propriety continue the work, and the present volume is the 
 outgrowth of that interest. 
 
 Possessing only the education acquired in the common 
 school of his native town, and two terms of eleven weeks 
 each at Williston seminary at Easthampton, Mr. Smith has 
 supplemented that by much that it is the fashion to call self- 
 education, while an abundant stock of native common sense 
 has contributed in a large degree to develop the earnestness 
 of the man, and to endow his writings with originality and 
 piquancy. 
 
 He was married in January, 1850, to Eliza IIubl)ard Ly- 
 man, who died in 1892.

FAMILY GENEALOGIES, 
 
 FIENRY W. TAFT AND AHRIE T. MONTAGUE. 
 
EXPLANATION. 
 
 Under "Corrections and Additions" on pages 583 to 593, and on page 651, 
 it will be seen that errors were discovered when there was no longer 
 any opportunity to amend the text. Although, at this writing, all known errors 
 have been corrected, and although we have made every effort to obtain correct 
 information, it is too much to expect that no more mistakes will be discovered. 
 
 However, we beg our readers to postpone judgment in cases where dates 
 recorded here differ from town, church or family records, or from inscriptions 
 on gravestones, as these usually reliable sources of information, in numberless 
 cases, differ from each other. In each case of variation we have given the dale 
 which seems 10 us most probably correct. For instance, we learned from a 
 step-daughter that the second wife of Levi Warner, No. 10, died Mar. i, 1896. 
 Her gravestone says Feb. 29, 1896. To settle the point, it was ascertained 
 from those who were with her when she died that it was certainly on Mar. i, 
 which was the date which we accepted. 
 
 Whenever a number is assigned to an individual it is for the purpose of 
 tracing descent. An illustration, will, perhaps, most easily explain the plan 
 which we have adopted : 
 
 Cephas Alden Graves, No. 95, p. 379, we find to be son of Alden, No. 79. 
 By referring to the family of the latter the reader will find that records of all 
 marriages and deaths are given except in case of Cephas Alden to whom is as- 
 signed the number 95. By a series of references, it will be found that the links 
 connecting Alden, 79, with his ancestors in the mother country, are Cephas 52, 
 Elias 29, Phineas 14, Isaac 7, John 4, Isaac 2 and Thomas i. 
 
 In cases other than of those older families that are followed through suc- 
 cessive generati(>ns, descent is indicated by small numerals, as in case of Rev. 
 David Peck (p. 480), who is shown to have been of the Sih generation from Wil- 
 liam Peck, the emigrant ancestor. 
 
 The numbers against names in the genealogical index are those of pages, 
 but any given page is mentioned but once against a name which may represent 
 more than one individual, and which may appear two or more times on one page. 
 
 In addition to abbreviations of the names of months, states, the more com- 
 mon titles, etc., we have made use of the following

 CARDELL, Isaac of Sunderland and Patience Graves of Lever-

 CARVER, Jonathan, from Canterbury, Ct., doubtless descended 
 from Robert Carver, who settled in what is now Marshfield, some- 
 time prior to 1636. He m. 1746, in Canterbury, Ct., Abigail, dau. 
 Nathaniel and Phebe (Sevine) Robbins; lived in Montague, perhaps 
 also in Northfield; soldier in the last French and Indian war, and 
 narrowly escaped with his life at the massacre of Fort William 
 Henry; afterwards captain. In June, 1766,31 his own cost and 
 risk, he undertook a journey into the vast territory acquired by 
 Great Britain at the establishment of peace in 1763. "What I had 
 chiefly in view," he says, after gaining a knowledge of the manners 
 customs, languages, soil and natural productions of the different 
 nations that inhabit the back of the Mississippi, was to ascertain the 
 breadth of that vast continent which extends from the Atlantic to 
 Pacific ocean, in its broadest part, between 43 and 46 degrees, 
 northern latitude. Had 1 been able to accomplish this, I intended 
 to have proposed to government to establish a post in some of those 
 parts about the Straits of Annian, which having been first discov- 
 ered by Sir Francis Drake, of course belong to the English." The 
 straits of Annian are not known by that name at the present day, 
 but Seattle and Tacoma now flourish in the region where Carver 
 would have established his post. However, the head waters of the 
 Mississippi was the remotest region which he reached. He was 
 everywhere hospitably received by the natives; was five months 
 with the Nandowissies, who made him a chief. But few of them had 
 ever before seen a white man. He arrived at Boston on his return 
 journey, Oct., 1768, and the next year went to London, where he 
 published his book of travels, of which there have been about 20 
 editions. He entered into a project with Richard ^\'hitworth, Esq., 
 a man of means, to equip an expedition to carry out his original 
 intention and not only that, but to find a passage from the Pacific 
 to Hudson's bay. They were to have erected a fort at Lake Pepin 
 by which to hold the new possessions and open them up to develop- 
 ment, but the commencement of the Revolution thwarted their plans. 
 He recognized the value of this section of country, which later 
 explorers pronounced a barren region, incapable of sustaining a 
 large population.* 
 
 *In 1848 Congress passed the bill creating the territory of Minnesota, after 
 a struggle of several months' duration. One of the arguments used by those 
 who opposed it was that the country was not worth tiie cost of maintaining its 
 government, being "an intensely cold, barren and uninhabitable region" — 
 "Resources of Minnesota." 
 
284 CARVER. 
 
 The story of the grant of 14,000 scjuare miles to Jonathan Carver 
 by the Nandowissie tribe is probably a myth, but for nearly 50 
 years a large space on maps of the United States was marked 
 "Carvers Tract," and there is still in this section a town, a county 
 and a river of his name. 
 
 His life in London was one of poverty and wretchedness. He 
 secured employment as clerk in a lottery office and d. Jan. 31, 1780, 
 according to the Gentleman's Magazine, " absolutely and strictly 
 starved." His wife d. in Brandon, Vt., Nov. 9, 1802, ae. 73.

 d. at Roxbury, Dec. 25, 1887, ae. 78. After his retirement from 
 the ministry he lived in Somerville, so called, but in the township of 
 Medford, where he wrote the "Life of John Woodbridge, D. D.," 
 also many articles for periodicals. His soundness in the Christian 
 doctrines was almost proverbial, but whatever prejudices he may 
 have held against those of the Unitarian faith were so modified in 
 his later years as to admit of his contributing non-theological arti- 
 cles to reviews of that denomination. Among his earlier writings 
 were "Utility and Glory of the Divine Purposes," " The Co-Worker 
 and his Reward " and a prize essay upon Christian benevolence.

 Moses Graves, (17); went to reside in Hanover, N. H., then rem. 
 to Boston, where his first child was born; settled in Leverett, whence 
 he rem. 18 19 to Amherst, and in 1834 to Portsmouth, O.; d. Feb. 
 12, 1845; wife (1. 1854. lie was agent of Amherst College in its 
 infancy, and how he contributed to the success of the enterprise is 
 thus told b}' Prcs. Hitchcock, who was meantime professor in the 
 college, and who incidentally throws light upon his character: 
 
 "He was a man of peculiar characteristics, rather sluggish and in- 
 dolent in his movements, yet, under the control of ardent piety eas- 
 ily affected himself, and therefore strongly affecting others. In this 
 enterprise he was a perfect enthusiast, and went into it with all the 
 zeal and perseverance of Peter, the Hermit. Whenever he could 
 get a chance to address a group, large or small, he would pour out 
 his whole heart, and his tears, too, as I have witnessed, and though 
 rather clumsy and rude in speech, he would deeply enlist the sym- 
 pathies of his audience. No one could hear him who did not see 
 that he was most thoroughly convinced of what he said, and of the 
 immense importance of the enterprise for the good of the world; 
 also, that he prayed over it till he felt assured that God was on his 
 side, and neither reasoning nor ridicule could shake his faith. 
 
 "According to Dr. Humphrey the Constitution and system of 
 By-Laws adopted by the trustees of Amherst Academy in 181 8 for 
 raising $50,000 as the basis of the new College, 'was drawn up with 
 care ami legal advisement by Col. Rufus Graves.' The Preamble 
 to that Constitution breathes a spirit as decidedly missionary as the 
 New Testament itself, and its authorship might well be coveted; 
 for it fixed the religious character of the institution and stands as a 
 powerful warning against apostacy and the diversion of funds to 
 other objects. 
 
 "Col. Ciraves gave considerable attention to some branches of 
 science, especially chemistry, and formerly lectured upon that sub- 
 ject in Dartmouth College as well as in Amherst Academy. He did 
 the same, also, for a time, in the new College, before the appoint- 
 ment of a professor. He lived to a venerable old age, and his last 
 years were spent in Ohio.

 received a request to mention the decease of the widow, Elizabeth 
 Harmon, who died on the 9th inst. . Mrs. Harmon was in

 tian relatives to bemoan their bereavement."

 6, Jonathan, son of Isaac (3), b. 1703, graduated at Yale, 1724;

 and Mary (Bliss) Ely of West Springfield. She was b. Nov. 11, 
 1 7 16, and d. Mar. 28, 1796. His children all b. and d. in Sheffield. 
 He was a clergyman of good reputation for character and ability; 
 was moderator of the somewhat famous Council which resulted in 
 the dismission of Rev. Jonathan Edwards from his pastoral office at 
 Northampton in June, 1750. The following inscription is on his 
 gravestone in Sheffield: "The Rev. Jonathan Hubbard was the first 
 pastor of the church in Sheffield. He was blest with a lively genius 
 and solid judgment. His public discourses were judicious, and his 
 conversation instructive." An incident in his pastoral life has been 
 handed down to the effect that he raised 20 bushels of potatoes in 
 one year,* for which reason he came very near being dealt with by 
 the church for his worldly-mindedness. 
 
 The copy of record which follows has been deemed of sufficient 
 interest to warrant its introduction into this History, inasmuch as it 
 gives the proceedings of t\\& first ecclesiastical council on the occa- 
 sion of the organization of the first church and ordination of the 
 first ^diStor within the territory now constituting the county of Berk- 
 shire: 
 
 "At a council met at Sheffield, Oct. 22nd, 1735, at the desire of 
 the Inhabitants to gather a Church and ordain Mr. Jonathan Hub- 
 bard to the Pastoral Office, tJieti present ye record 
 "Ministers and Messengers: 
 
 "Timothy Collins of Litchfield, Deacon Nathaniel Baldwin. 
 "Samuel Hopkins of Springfield 
 "Peter Reynolds of Enfield, Capt. Joseph Saxton 
 "Jonathan Edwards of Northampton, Dea. Samuel Allen. 
 "William Rand of Sunderland, Dea" Isaac Hubbard 
 "The Council understanding that Mr. Jonathan Hubbard wIk^ had 
 been Chosen or Called to the work of the Ministry in this place had 
 the Aprobation of the Neighboring Ministers and having received 
 satisfaction concerning his Soundness and Orthodoxy, proceeded at 
 the desire and with the consent of the church which was then Ciath- 
 ered to seperate him to the work of the ministry by prayer, with 
 imposition of hands.

 Peter Reynolds, Scribe 
 
 *A crop of eight bushels which one Iladley farmer had in 1763 was iarge- 
 too large, since, "if a man ale them every day he could not live beyond seven 
 years." Indeed, the "gallant root of potatoes" was regarded as a sort of for- 
 bidden fruit. ... so wholly abandoned as not to have been mentioned in the 
 Bible. — Alice Morse Earle in "Customs and Fashions in Old New England."

 In clearing the land for the new farrn he left young saplings "to 
 benefit future generations" as he remarked, thus making the maple 
 grove, which is highly appreciated by the public of to-day, many of 
 the original trees being still quite vigorous. The present house was 
 erected, 1763. It is still covered, in part, with some of the original 
 clapboards. The windows were made small, as the tax on glass 
 was then very heavy. Hand-wrought nails were used in its con- 
 struction. This house was kept as a tavern for nearly 100 years. 
 It was here that the minute men assembled -on the 19th of April, 
 1775, spent the night, and the next morning before light set out for

 *The following is from an obituary notice taken from the "Oskosh North- 
 western" which says of him as a banker under State laws: "In 1861, when so 
 much of the currency of Illinois and Wisconsin banks was rendered worthless, 
 thousands of dollars were saved the business public of this city for the reason 
 that all weak banks were 'spotted' by Kellogg's bank at least two weeks be- 
 fore the Milwaukee banks threw them out. Mr. Kellogg was extremely care- 
 ful of his business reputation and all his transactions were 'square.' In the 
 early days of the war, when he was about to throw out a list of unsafe banks, 
 certain parties requested him to continue receiving the bills, offering to give 
 bonds for their redemption, Mr. Kellogg refused, giving as a reason that the 
 fact that he was taking the bills at par would cause other parties to receive 
 them as good, thereby entailing loss upon innocent persons."

 fret, Ct., when that town was new. His mother came from Bran- 
 don, Ireland, at the age of twelve. He was b. in Pomfret, Dec. 31, 
 1763, and was the i6th of 17 children; studied Latin untler the di- 
 rection of Rev. Walter Lyon, pastor of the Pomfret church, but his 
 education up to the year 1787, when he entered the sophomore class 
 at Dartmouth, he obtained, almost unaided. So high were his at- 
 tainments, without assistance, in the science of astronomy, that an 
 almanac which he calculated, was published in Boston. After his 
 graduation at college he studied theology with Rev. Charles Backus 
 of Somers, Ct.; was licensed to preach 1791; ordained fifth pastor 
 of the Sunderland church as associate with Mr. Ashley, Oct. 24, 
 1792; dismissed Sept. 28, 1793, after a six days session of a mutual 
 council which withdrew from him its ministerial fellowship. He re- 
 mained here until Jan., 1794, when he went to So. Hero, Vt., and 
 after preaching there a year, organized a church of which he was 
 pastor, 45 years. In case a correct decision was reached by the 
 dismissing council, his life, ever afterwards, was that of a man of 
 changed character, being uniformly upright and exemplary. He 
 was representative of the town of South Hero in the Vermont legis- 
 lature 1 799-1 814 with the exception of two years; Chief Judge of 
 the County nine years; member of the Council; member of Congress 
 1S14-16. Some of his speeches in the legislature and in Congress

 1, MONTAGUE, Richard, the emigrant ancestor, son of Peter 
 and Eleanor (Allen) Montague, grandson of William, great-grandson 
 of Robert and great-great-grandson of William Montague, whose 
 will was proved Mar. 21, 1550, was b. ab. 1614* at Boveney on 
 Thames, Burnham Parish, Buckinghamshire, England, where at least 
 four generations of his ancestors had resided; is found in 1646 at 
 ^Vells, Me.; rem. in that year to Boston; in 1651 to Wethersfield, 
 Ct., and in 1659 was one of the founders of Hadley; m. Abigail, 
 dau. Rev. Dr. Downing of Norwich, England. The house which he 
 built in Hadley passed by descent to his son John, to John's son 
 Nathaniel, to Nathaniel's son Nathaniel and to the second Nathan- 
 iel's son Stephen, who removed it in 1830. He learned the baker's 
 trade, probably in England, and was, at least on one occasion, im- 
 pressed to bake bread for the soldiers, at an attack of Indians on

 In 1789 his great-grandson, Major Richard Montague (6), visited 
 the old homestead and found papers and letters which threw much 
 light upon the early history of the family, also a miniature of Richard 
 the emigrant, which was painted in England, and had been preserved 
 among the family keepsakes, and of the genuineness of which he 
 was satisfied. A copy of this picture may be found in this volume.

 *The complaint of Martha Harrison, which was substantiated by testimony 
 before the commissioners of Hadley, June 22, 1676, exhibits some incidents 
 of this disorderly flight: " Martha Harrison of Hadley, widow, makes a com- 
 plaint against John Belcher of Braintree, a soldier in Capt. Turner's company, 
 for being the culpable occasion of the death of her husband, Isaac Harrison, a 
 wounded man, riding upon his own horse, who fell from his horse, being faint, 
 and this John Belcher, who was behind him, rode from him with Harrison's 
 horse, though he entreated him not leave him, hut for God's sake to let him 
 ride with him. Stephen Belden of Hatfield testified, that he, riding behind 
 Jonathan Wells, saw Isaac Harrison on the ground, rising up, and heard him 
 call to the man on his horse, three or four rods before, to take him up, saying 
 he could ride now; the man rode away, and both Jonathan Wells and I called 
 him to go back, and he would not. This was when we were returning from the 
 fight at the Falls." — Sylvester Judd in "History of Hadley."

 3, S.AMUEL, son of John (2), b. 1695; was one of the 40 first set-

 Mrs. William C. Campbell, his jj^reat-great-granddaughter, stantls on 
 this lot and very nearly on the site of the original dwelling, which 
 lot, with the e.xception of about ten years, has been in possession of 
 the family for 185 years. He was captain, deacon, a man of character 
 and intluence. He was a member of that somewhat famous ecclesias- 
 tical ctjuncil held, 1750, in Ntjrlhanipton, which resulted in the dis- 
 missal of Rev. Jonathan Edwards. He m. Jan. 24, 1718, Elizabeth,

 *At this time a few families from Hadley settled in So. Hadley. The 
 day previous to their departure the people assembled in the church, and it was a 
 day of prayer and fasting, as " some of their number were going over the moun- 
 tain to live." 
 
 f A surviving tradition concerning her brings vividly to mind that delusion 
 which so disgraced some parts of Massachusetts, but from which Hadlej' was 
 so largely free. It was sometimes thought that Hannah was " possessed" 
 that she was indeed a witch. Perhaps she feigned her action in sport, or it may 
 be she was the subject of some nervous disorder. But the story goes that when 
 .itflicted she would call on her brother Samuel for help. He would at once 
 .irm himself with a great broadsword, enter the room where Hannah was, and 
 when his sister had pointed out the locality of the tormenting spirits — to him 
 invisible, — would cut and slash for very life. And then Hannah, — the wicked 
 tease, — noting her brother's troubled air, would say, " No, not there, but there! 
 there! ah, there they are in that corner, grinning and chattering at your blun- 
 der !" Rev. Richard Montague in address at Hadley, 1882.

 Boltwood, who says that Dea. Samuel's first marriage occurred 
 Jan. 24, 1716, was followed by the compiler of the " Montague Gen- 
 ealogy," but record from family Bible, of which he was, evidently, 
 the writer, says that they were married on the 24th of January, in 
 the 22nd year of their age. On Jan. 24, 17 18, each was 22 years 
 old, he in the April, and she in the Nov. previous, and the latter is, 
 doubtless, the correct date.

 Then let me be prepar'' for death

 But give myself up to the Lord 
 
 And die, for it is gain.

 East side (house long occupied by Hubbard Graves), where tiis first 
 child was born; soon rem. to lot No. 13, West side, now \Villiam 
 Gaylord's. He was a man of energy, activity and shrewdness; town 
 clerk, and for several years teacher of the town school; rem. ab. 1765, 
 to that part of the town which is now North Leverett, where he was 
 chiefly instrumental in the founding of the IJaptist church in that place. 
 The church often met at his house and the first minister was or- 
 dained in his barn; whenever without a preacher he would act as 
 exhorter. At this time laws had been passed exempting Baptists 
 from paying taxes toward the support of the town churches, but the 
 Leverett church, on account of technicalities, was unable to obtain 
 its rights. Several of its members had property seized on this ac- 
 count and Richard Montague was taken by a constable six miles 
 toward the county jail and kept over night, when the officer returned 
 and took a fine hog from the Major's pen, which he sold to satisfy 
 the demand*. 
 
 He saw much service in the French and Indian wars; was on 
 Rogers' expedition to St. Francis, and at Crown Point, 1759. After 
 the news of the battle of Lexington, he renounced allegiance to 
 Great Britain, saying to his wife that if God would forgive him for 
 having fought seven years /i?/- the king he would fight for the rest 
 of his days against\\\m. or until he was conquered. He raised a com- 
 pany of men, of which he was captain, fought with thein at Bunker 
 Hill, and was at Cambridge when Washington took command of the 
 
 *In centennial address, 1874, Rev. Baxter Newton says of this occurrence: 
 "I will not add what the tradition represents the Major as saying, for I think 
 he was roiled when he said it," but his words on this occasion were quoted by 
 his great-grandson. Rev. Richard Montague, in his address at Hadley, 1882: 
 " Your claim to that animal may be good, for your master tof)k possession of 
 many such years ago in Gadara."

 army; was afterwards adjutant and was raised to the rank of Major, 
 receiving his commission from Washington, who, it is said, attached 
 him to his staff. He was often sent to Western Mass. as a recruit- 
 ing officer and on these occasions the people noted "his fine mar- 
 tial bearing, how well he managed his men, and how elegantly he 
 rode his horse." 
 
 He d. Feb. 21, 1794; wife d. May 23, 1795. "His death," says 
 Rev. Baxter Newton, " was a heavy stroke to the church. * * * * 
 He made his influence felt, not only in this church, but in all Bap- 
 tist churches in this section of the State, and although eighty years 
 have passed since he died, the name of Major Richard Montague is 
 a household word in every ancient Baptist family."

 He was licensed to preach 1797, and in 1798 was ordained pastor of 
 the Baptist church at No. Leverett, which relation continued 28 
 years, during which time he baptized 250 persons. Three times 
 during these 28 years he went into the then wilds of New York and 
 Pennsylvania on missionary tours, and on one of these occasions 
 travelled over 1000 miles on horseback, in the winter, preaching 
 wherever he could find an audience. A son used to say that 
 he could always tell when his father was going to preach a rousing 
 sermon by the way the work flew; which illustrates his method of 
 study. With his pen he worked at disadvantage. That his early 
 opportunities for learning had been meagre, was ever cause for re- 
 gret, but with his Bible he was perfectly familiar and his preaching 
 was of the sort that found its way to the hearts and consciences of 
 his hearers.

 State of III., at the age of 29 he went to the Pacific coast, where he was for 
 many years chief engineer of the Central Pacific R. R. Of the share that 
 he had in the construction of this road, the San Francisco Call thus speaks 
 in an obituary notice: "In making this route across the Sierras, Mr. Monta- 
 gue accomplished feats that are without a parallel in railroad engineering; 
 gaining an elevation of 7000 feet in 70 or 80 miles, and dropping down 
 3000 feet in 25 miles, into ihe Truckee Basin. English surveyors had come 
 over here, and after seeing the obstacles to be overcome, and the nature of 
 the country which the road was to traverse, announced its accomplishment 
 an impossibility; yet, to-day, the cars round Cape Horn and skirt Blue 
 Canon at dizzy heights with perfect safety." He m. at San Francisco, Feb.

 1, MUNSELL, Thomas Ellsworth,'"' (Fhomas', *Jacob'\ Ja-

 scended from Thomas Munsell who came from England to New 
 London ab. 1680. He was b. Nov. 2, 1803, in East Windsor, Ct.; 
 m. Oct. 12, 1826, Roxanna R. Snell of Ware, came to Sunder- 
 land not long afterwards and carried on, for many years, the full- 
 
 *At the time of the Revolution, Jacob Munsell was in the prime of life and 
 a thrifty farmer, residing in East Windsor. The requisitions of the army called 
 into use every team that could be procured and very high prices were paid for 
 that service, especially after the communication with Boston harbor was inter- 
 rupted by the British fleet. He therefore frequently undertook the transporta- 
 tion of provisions to the army lying in the neighbjorhood of Boston. On one 
 occasion, while thus employed, having arrived within a few miles of the camp 
 at Cambridge, with a heavy load drawn by an ox team, in a part of the road 
 which was particularly rough and where the traveled path was narrow, he met 
 two carriages in each of which was an American general officer. The officer in 
 the forward carriage, when near to Munsell put his head out at the window and 
 called to him in an authoritative tone: " get out of the path." Mun- 
 sell immediately retorted: " I won't get out of the path, get out ynur- 
 
 self." After some vain attempts to prevail on him to turn out. the officer's car- 
 riage turned out, and Munsell kept the path. The other carriage immediately 
 came up, having been within hearing distance of what had passed, and the of- 
 ficer within it put his head out at the window, and said to Munsell: "My 
 friend, the road is bad and it is difficult for me to turn out, will you be so good 
 as to turn out and let me pass?" "With all my heart, sir," said Munsell, "but 
 I won't be damned out of the path by any man." This last officer was Gen. 
 Washington. The writer of this anecdote, having heard the alifair related at 
 the time, inquired of .Munsell soon after the close of the war, as to the truth of 
 it, and was told that it was e.xactly true. — Hemy K. Stiles in History of Wind-

 *When the Indians attacked Marlboro in 1676, it was on the Sabbath, and 
 the people were in the church. The alarm being given, the congregation in- 
 stantly dispersed, and sought shelter in their garrison; but Moses Newton gal- 
 lantly remaified to rescue an aged and infirm female, who would otherwise 
 have been exposed to certain destruction. In this heroic and benevolent en- 
 terprise he received a ball in his elbow, which deprived him in a measure of 
 the use of his arm ever after. Hut he hati the satisfaction of knowing that he 
 brought his friend safely from the place of danger. — Marlboro Genealogies by

 *When Eunice Locke was in her teens her brother John was in the Revolu- 
 tionary army, and at one time was unexpectedly ordered to march on two days' 
 notice, his clothing being insufficient for the climate which he was to endure. 
 The story of "The Pepper-and-Salt Pantaloons," which has been published, 
 tells of the energy and determination exhibited by this sister in the face of op- 
 position shown because of want of time to prepare suitable clothing. She at 
 once, by her own labor and by impressing the family into the work, during 
 these two days cut the wool from the sheep, washed, carded and spun it, wove 
 the yarn into cloth, finding with difficulty an empty loom, cut and made the 
 pantaloons which were ready for the brother when he marched away.

 his death and that it is not overdrawn is the testimony of those who 
 knew him : — 
 
 "The native modesty of this beloved man prevented his worth 
 and acquirements from being known to but few. He labored dili- 
 gently on a farm from childhood through life, and never enjoyed 
 higher advantages for mental culture than are afforded by the dis- 
 trict school; but by patiently and persistently devoting his leisure 
 moments to study he had acquired a fund of knowledge possessed 
 by few wht) are publicly and liberally educated. He was familiar 
 
504 ROWE. 
 
 with the ancient languages and wrote and spoke his own with pecu- 
 liar purity and perspicuity. But in the natural and mathematical 
 sciences he found a study more congenial to the character of his 
 mind, and devoted his attention to them more than to mere litera- 
 ture. He loved to trace the discoveries of Kepler and Newton and 
 perceive the truth of their conclusions. As an instance of his per- 
 severance and love of mathematical research, one fact may be men- 
 tioned. While conversing with him on the various practical appli- 
 cations of the 47th proposition of the first book of Euclid, he re- 
 marked to the writer that he met with problems in arithmetic, and 
 not knowing that truth had ever been proved, applied himself to in- 
 vention of a demonstration. This was more brief than Euclid, but 
 equally clear and conclusive. 
 
 "The Scriptures formed another branch of critical and thoruugh 
 study. 
 
 "No desire of fame induced Mr. Rowe to apply himself so intense- 
 ly. It was the natural bent of his mind; was that in which he found 
 greatest pleasure, and had life been spared, judging from success 
 heretofore attained, he would have stood by the side of Rittenhouse, 
 an honor to his country and a distinguished light of the scientific 
 world. But he is removed in the morning of his days and useful- 
 ness. 
 
 "To the Lyceum which he aided in establishing, to the town of 
 which he was an able officer, and to the Church and to his parents 
 and to his heart-stricken wife, his loss is irreparable."

 years after by Pres. Hitchcock: 
 
 "In Mr. Taylor's parish was a layman of unusual excellence of re- 
 ligious character, who entered with all his heart into the new enter- 
 prise, as did also his excellent wife, and as they were possessed of 
 more property than the clerical inembers of the Board, his benefac-

 tions were frequent and liberal at a time when money had an almost 
 priceless value. This gentleman was Nathaniel Smith, Esq., who 
 passed away in the *same year with his beloved pastor, and whose 
 character was ha[)pily delineated by Dr. Humphrey, in a published 
 sermon, entitled 'The Good Arimathean.' Without the benefac- 
 tions of Nathaniel Smith, it is doubtful whether Amherst College 
 could have been carried through its early conflicts. Still more im- 
 portant was it that his gifts were sanctified by the fervent, effectual 
 prayers of himself and consort." 
 
 Among his benefactions was the gift of $3,000 toward the estab- 
 lishment of a permanent fund for the benefit of the Sunderland 
 Cong, parish, an account of which fund is given in the historical 
 portion of this work. He also donated the baptismal bowl and the 
 greater part of the communion service which is now in use by the 
 church, and gave by far the largest amount which was contributed 
 toward building the old parish house.

 descended from EmmanijeP, This view is endorsed by Mr. Boltwood.

SUNDERLAND VILLAGE IN 1825-30. 
 
 ]\Y HENRY W. TAFT. 
 
 It is certain that I shall make no more substantial addi- 
 tions to this volume. It occurs to me that if I should set 
 down my earliest recollections of the village and its inhabi- 
 tants, it might perhaps have some value to the present and 
 future generations, if the book should be preserved. I know- 
 that I should be much pleased if I could have such a picture 
 of the village as it was sixty or seventy years before 1830. 
 I fix the dates above, and think I shall not create any marked 
 anachronism, though it is possible I may have a very few 
 events in my mind prior to 1825. I left the town permanent- 
 ly in the vSpring of 1838, and have noted some changes which 
 occurred before that time. 
 
 At the north end of the "Street" was an open road which 
 led down to the "Rocks" where a ferry had been maintained 
 in former years, but did not continue down to my time. 
 
 On the north side of this road, and quite on the bank of 
 the river was a story and a half house in which lived Mr. 
 Jonathan Kenfield and his family. He had a rugged, 
 weather-beaten face, and strong voice, and was called "Cap- 
 tain," probably because he was a boatman on the river, and 
 probably a "Chief Officer." The family were living there 
 in 1838. 
 
 At some distance east of this house was a larger, plain two- 
 story house, in which lived Mr. Stephen Clary, a descendant 
 in the fourth generation of Lt. Joseph Clary, one of the forty 
 first settlers, and I think the last of his name in the town. 
 I recollect him distinctly, though he died in 1824. He was 
 succeeded in this dwelling, probably about 1825, by Mr. 
 William Bowman, whom I remember as living there with all 
 his family. I do not recollect any other occupant. Mr. 
 Clary was a thin, spare man. Mr. Bowman was short, thick- 
 set, inclining to corpulency, of a strong constitution, and 
 lived to a great age. 
 
660 APPENDIX. 
 
 On the corner, and so fronting on Main street, was a two- 
 story, gambrel roofed house, painted red, in which lived Mr. 
 Noahdiah l^eonard, his wife, five daughters and one son. 
 Mr. Leonard was a small, thin man, with a thin voice. 
 
 I understand all the three dwellings before named have 
 disappeared. 
 
 Passing down the Street, on the west side, you came to an 
 old story and a half house in which lived Mr. Jonas Graves. 
 His two youngest sons and two or three daughters lived at 
 home. I suppose the house stood on the site of the dwelling 
 of the late Henry O. Williams. It seems to me it was further 
 north. I have no distinct recollection of Mr. Graves, except 
 that he was below the middle height. He was a grandson 
 of Jonathan Graves, one of the forty first settlers. The fam- 
 ily removed from town before 1830. 
 
 The next building was the dwelling house of Oliver Wil- 
 liams, Senr. His son, Oliver, was married and living in the 
 house. It was painted white, and is still standing. A sign 
 post and sign stood before the house, and in my early boy- 
 hood it wa? an Inn, and the old gentleman was called "Land- 
 lord Williams." Mrs. Williams was a small woman, upon 
 whom I have seen the red cloth cloak of former days. 
 
 The next house, where John R. Smith has lived for half a 
 century or more, was occupied by Mr. Gideon Henderson, a 
 tanner and shoe-maker. The house must date back into the 
 last century. Sometime between 1825 and '30 somebody in- 
 vented a new mode of preparing lime, so as to make a coat- 
 ing which would stand the weather, and be "as good as 
 paint." This house and some others were treated with this 
 preparation. In fair weather they were of dazzling white- 
 ness; in wet weather they were simply whitewashed. On 
 the north line of this lot, running back from the Street, was 
 a line of buildings wherein were Mr. Henderson's workshops. 
 The tan vats were between these buildings and the house. 
 Mr. Henderson was a spare, sinewy man of ordinary height, 
 with sharp, black eyes. He removed to Western, N. Y. 
 
 The next building on the Street was a small dwelling out 
 of repair, occupied by Mr. Israel Coolcy and his wife. I 
 think there were no others in the family. The place came 
 next into the hands of Mr. Increase C. Graves, who repaired 
 
A Shawl of the Colonial Period.

 or rebuilt it, and lived in it from the time of his marriage 
 till his death in 1838. 
 
 The next house, now occupied, I suppose, by G. D. I^ish, was 
 the home of Mr. Elijah Graves and his family, then unbroken 
 by death or removal. "Uncle" Oliver Clark, a quaint character 
 of the older time, was an inmate of this family. In front of this 
 house, in the street, was an elm tree of large size, still vig- 
 orous and growing. Mr. Graves was a descendant in the 
 fourth generation of Samuel Graves, a first settler. He was 
 a short, thick-set man, with a kindly face and a kindly 
 nature. 
 
 The next house was occupied by Mrs. Caroline Hubbard, 
 widow of David Hubbard, three sons and a daughter. It 
 was painted red. In the door yard and on the northeast cor- 
 ner of the house was a buildinij; of one room with a door 
 opening to the south, which had been occupied by Mr. Hub- 
 bard, who was a shoe-maker, as his shop. In the street in 
 front of the house were three or four flourishing maple trees, 
 I should say, eight to twelve inches in diameter. 
 
 The next dwelling was that of Mr. Eleazer Warner, Jr., so 
 long occupied by Mr. Prouty, and I suppose still standing, 
 much changed. Mr. Warner was a descendant in the fourth 
 generation of Eleazer Warner, a first settler. He was a 
 wheelwright, and his shop stood on the line of the street in 
 the southeast corner of the lot. Probably about 1825 he put 
 an addition in the rear of his shop, and put in a "still" and 
 made cider brandy. This business was not long continued. 
 Before 1838 he sold the south part of his home lot, includ- 
 ing the dwelling, to Mr. James B. Prouty, and built a new 
 hou.se on the land he retained. I think it has been burned. 
 The original dwelling was one of the whitewashed houses. 
 
 The next building was the dwelling of Gideon Warner, a 
 two-story house, painted red. All his children, except his 
 oldest son, were living with him. I suppose the house is 
 still standing, much changed. He was a descendant in the 
 third generation of the Eleazer Warner above referred to. 
 
 The next house, known to the present generation as the 
 "Beaman Place," was that of Mr. Benjamin Graham. I think 
 it had at some former time been painted, probably yellow. 
 His son Samuel was married and living in the house, but he

 removed, and Ira Beaman, a son-in-law, had come there to 
 reside before 1838. South of the house, but not on the line 
 of the street, was a gambrel roofed building used as a shoe- 
 maker's shop. It was the old Village school house, removed 
 from its original location, near the entrance to Bridge Lane. 
 
 The next dwelling house was a two-story house, painted 
 white, occupied by Mr. David Graves, Jr., who removed from 
 town and was succeeded by his brother, Theodore. They 
 were descendants in the fourth generation of Isaac Graves, 
 a first settler, and were blacksmiths, and their shop stood on 
 the line of the street north of the house. Mr. Levi Warner 
 bought this lot and lived there before 1838, and many years 
 after. I do not know whether the house is still standing. 
 
 The next dwelling was that of Rev. James Taylor, who 
 dwelt there with all his family. Mr. Taylor was a strongly 
 built man of middle age, with dark hair and eyes and dark 
 complexion. He and Mrs. Taylor both died there in 1831. 
 I think Dea. Enoch Chapin lived there afterwards and be- 
 fore 1838. I suppose the house stands, not materially 
 changed externally. It had been painted at some uncertain 
 period in some uncertain color. In the street, a little north 
 of the house, stood the noble button wood, which I hope still 
 stands. When I last saw it it had increased much in size in 
 the last sixty years. "Long may it wave." 
 
 In my childhood there was no building between the house 
 of Mr. Taylor and the store on the corner of Bridge Lane. 
 Sometime, probably after 1830, Mr. Ashley Graves built the 
 house now occupied by the family of the late Albert Monta- 
 gue, and also built a shop south of it. He removed to Ohio. 
 I do not recollect whether it was before 1838. 
 
 The store above referred to was a two-story building be- 
 longing to Mr. Horatio Graves. It was painted white. It 
 was destroyed by fire after I left town. Another store on 
 the same site, built by Mr. Horace Lyman, was also destroyed 
 by fire. West of the store was an open shed, painted red. 
 Farther west was the dwelling of Mr. Graves, painted red, 
 and now standing. I do not know whether the wing on the 
 east end remains. In front of this house on the opposite 
 side of the street, was a gigantic buttonwood, which I found 
 on one of my visits home, many years ago, had been levelled 
 to the ground, to my infinite disgust. It was losing a friend 
 
APPENDIX. 663 
 
 of my boyhood one hundred years befc^re its time. Mr. 
 Graves was a descendant in the fifth generation of Samuel 
 Graves before referred to. 
 
 The next dwelling, a two-story, which was standing when 
 I was last in town, was that of Curtis Fairchild, tailor, a small 
 man of great activity and great fluency. 
 
 The next house belonging to the Bridge corporation, was 
 occupied by Mr. Lucius Sanderson, the toll gatherer. He 
 was succeeded before 1838 by Zebina M. Hunt and Martin 
 Woods. 
 
 There was no building on the south side of this lane. 
 The merchants on the corner dealt in lumber, and during a 
 great part of the year there were piles of logs, lumber and 
 shingles on both sides nearly its entire length. 
 
 On the south corner of the lane was the store of Erastus 
 Graves, painted white. Its exterior is now mucli as it was 
 sixty years ago. When I first remember it, it was occupied 
 by Graves & Root. Tliis firm was dissolved on the appoint- 
 ment of Mr. Root as cashier of the bank. After Mr. Graves 
 retired, Kellogg Sexton and one Harwood severally traded 
 there before 1838. H. W. Taft, a lawyer, had his office in 
 the southeast corner, second story, and there was a stairway 
 on the outside of the building, south side, leading up to it. 
 
 On the line of the Street, south of the store, was a one and 
 a half story building, painted white. There had been a store 
 kept in it before my recollection. Connected with this 
 building was a long one-story building extending south. In 
 this building Charles Delano had his hatter's shop and Orin 
 Russell had a cabinet-maker's shop for a short time. The 
 buildings were painted white. 
 
 Next was the two-story dwelling house of William Delano, 
 Esq., painted white, with a wing on the north side. The 
 house is standing, and is reported to be the oldest house in 
 town. The Postoffice was kept in the northeast room, and 
 the only thermometer in town hung in the stoop. 
 
 The next building was the "Meeting House," standing on 
 the site of the present church building, painted white. The 
 main building was on the line of the street and the steeple 
 projected wholly into the street. It had a door in each of 
 the three sides, and its lower story constituted the vestibule 
 of the buildinor. Above and below the house on both sides

 of the street were rows of posts and rails for the conv^enience 
 of those who came to the meeting in carriages. 
 
 The next house, painted white, was the residence of Mr. 
 Luther Root. After he left town the place came into the 
 possession of the town or parish for a parsonage, and was oc- 
 cupied by Rev. Henry B. Holmes, the successor of Mr. Tay- 
 lor. After he left I think it was occupied before 1838 by Mr. 
 William Hunt, who owned it many years. It still stands 
 with some changes. 
 
 The next house, painted white, and now occupied by Mr. 
 Burt, was the dwelling of Dea. Elihu Rowe. 
 
 The next was a very old house occupied by Miss Patty 
 Field and her sister, Mrs. Cooley, and here lived during most 
 of my boyhood Mr. Amos Marsh and family. I think this 
 was one of the whitewashed houses. It was taken down 
 some years ago. 
 
 In the next house, now Mr. Gaylord's, a two-story house 
 which has been greatly changed, lived Mr. Gaius Smith, a 
 descendant in the fourth generation of Dea. Nathaniel Smith. 
 a first settler. He was a tall, strong man. He moved to 
 Paris, N. Y., after i83o, and died there in 1837. His succes- 
 sor was Mr. John Huntington, perhaps before 1835. lie 
 lived there many years. He was a hatter, and built a shop 
 on the south side of the lot. 
 
 Before 1838. Mr. Lysander Marsh built a house on the 
 north side of this home lot, and resided there, and I sup- 
 pose the house is still standing. 
 
 The next house on the site of Mr. Campbell's house was 
 the dwelling of Dea. John Montague, a descendant in the 
 third generation of Dea. Samuel Montague, a first settler, 
 who built the house. His son Caleb was married and re- 
 sided in the hou.se, and about 1825 he gave it up to him and 
 removed. 
 
 The brick house on the north side of this homestead (now 
 Milford Clark's) was built by Mr. Seth Warner, about 1834, 
 and he lived there for many years after 1 838. He was brother 
 of Eleazer Warner, Jr. 
 
 The next hou.se, that of Mr. Thomas Clark, is in its front 
 exterior much as it was seventy years ago. It was built, I 
 think, by his father, Dea. Jedediah Clark, who died in 1800, 
 having lived on the place forty years or more. All the chil-

 dren of Mr. Thomas Clark were living at home (except 
 Franklin) when I first remember the place, and his son Fran- 
 cis, who succeeded him, was married and died in 1832. Mrs. 
 Thomas Clark and her son Jedediah were living there in 
 1838. 
 
 The next house, standing on the site of the dwelling of 
 the late N. A. vSmith, was known as "Uncle Cotton's Red 
 House." It was owned by Mr. Cotton Graves, and was prob- 
 ably built by his grandfather, Benjamin Graves, a first set- 
 tler. It was a two-story house, and I think had a gambrel 
 roof, and at some remote period had been painted red. It 
 had various tenants, generally for .short periods. 
 
 In the next house, which was a two-story house, painted 
 white, standing where the house built by Dea. Albert Ho- 
 bart now stands, lived Mr. Cotton Graves. In the yard south 
 of the house were two or three fine maples, and north of the 
 house stood some Lombardy poplars. The barns were north 
 of the house, and formed two sides of a square, within which 
 was the barn yard, which extended to the line of the street. 
 
 The next house, which is the present dwelling house some- 
 what changed externally and internally, was built by Elisha 
 Alexander, early in this century, and here lived Horace W. 
 Taft, Esq., whose three oldest children were born here. He 
 removed about 1824, and .soon after it was purchased by Dea. 
 John Montague, who lived here until his death in 1832, and 
 his .son, Dea. John Alontague, Jr., lived here until his death 
 in 1 88 1. The house was painted yellow. There was a mag- 
 nificent elm in front of this house, very tall, and covering a 
 wide space with its spreading branches. 
 
 The next house, a story and a half, a very old house which 
 was standing when I was last in Sunderland, was occupied 
 by Doct. Samuel Church. He had a small building which 
 he u.sed as an office, which came up to the southeast corner 
 of the house with a door opening to the north. In front of 
 the house was a very fine elm, but not as large as the one 
 la.st mentioned. Mabel Graves owned the house afterwards, 
 and was living there in 1838. 
 
 The next building was a large two-story dwelling house 
 of primitive construction, and evidently very old. It was 
 not clapboarded, but covered with very wide boards. Here 
 lived Mr. William Sanderson, grandfather of Dea. H. G. 
 
666 APPENDIX. 
 
 Sanderson, whose dwelling on the site of the old house was 
 built by his father, Apollos Sanderson. 
 
 From the southeast corner of the Sanderson lot a fence 
 ran easterly, then southerly, then easterly again. I am not 
 sure that there are any fences now. 
 
 The school house was in a low place, and a platform of 
 earth was raised and supported by a wall, perhaps two feet 
 high on three sides, and on this the school house was placed. 
 It was a one-story brick building of one room, with a wood 
 house of wood, (an after-thought) through which was the en- 
 trance to the school room. This was the "Down Street 
 School House." West of the school house, extending south 
 to the fence, was a depression in the ground, and here was 
 a pond, which it seems to me now, existed during the greater 
 part of the year. In time of high water in Winter and Spring 
 it would extend north nearly to the Dr. Church place. 
 
 The meadow gate was removed during the Winter, but the 
 travelling public had to submit to it during the remainder 
 of the year. There was a similar gate at the entrance of the 
 Flag Swamp and Great Swamp roads in Lower Lane. 
 
 The location of the Benjamin Graves house is indicated 
 on the diagram, and it is still standing, as doubtless is the 
 elm tree in front of it. It was occupied by Mr. Benjamin 
 Graves, his wife and three sons. It does not stand on any of 
 the original home lots, but in the first division. It was built 
 by the father of the then occupant, also Benjamin Graves, 
 who died in 1777, and was son of the Benjamin Graves men- 
 tioned on page 13. Capt. Timothy Graves lived here after 
 his father's death. 
 
 There were no buildings in Lower Lane, or on the road to 
 Amherst, until you reached the house of Capt. Martin Hub- 
 bard near the Plum trees. 
 
 Passing north on the east side of the Street, the first house 
 was a two-story house painted white. Here lived a litte 
 while Reuben Puffer ; I think he had a shop south of the 
 house. Capt. Jon. Graves lived here before 1830 and Zebina 
 M. Hunt before 1838. The house long since gave place to a 
 new one. 
 
 The next house, still standing, was the dwelling of Mr. 
 Elias Graves. It was removed before my time from some 
 point near where Mr. Erastus Graves built his brick house 
 
APPENDIX. 667 
 
 to its present location. I think it had been painted red and 
 then white, and showed both colors. Mr. Graves had an af- 
 fection of the right hand and arm which was then called the 
 "shaking palsy." His son Cephas lived here after his mar- 
 riage until about 1825, when he removed to (xreat Swamp. 
 After him was another son, Fortune, who sold the place after 
 his father's death, and about 1833, I think, and "went west." 
 After him I recollect Mr. Uwight Marsh, who was perhaps 
 living there as late as 1838. Mr. Graves was grandson of 
 Isaac Graves, a first settler. 
 
 The next house on the site of the dwelling of Hollis D. 
 Graves was a structure similar in character and appearance 
 to the Sanderson house before described. Here lived Mr. 
 Ephraim Robinson. The present house was built by Mr. 
 Warren M. Graves, father of Hollis, and son of Cotton Graves 
 before mentioned, I suppose about 1834. 
 
 The next house, now Mr. Lincoln's, and much changed in 
 its exterior, was occupied by the widow and family of Maj. 
 Daniel Montague, a descendant in the third generation from 
 Dea. Samuel Montague, before mentioned. Hisson Stillman 
 was married in 1827, and lived there a few years, and then 
 removed to Oneida County, N. Y. There were two fine, 
 large elms in front of this house, and one, I think, still re- 
 mains. 
 
 Next came the dwelling house of Dea. Quartus Smith 
 (now Dr. Trow's.) All his large family were living at home, 
 except the two oldest children. He was a descendant in the 
 third generation of Dea. Nathaniel Smith before mentioned. 
 This house was built by Nathan Catlin before my remem- 
 brance. On the north line of this lot was a narrow lane lead- 
 ing to "Squire Smith's Island," a territory now forming part 
 of the John M. Smith homestead. 
 
 Next was the dwelling house on the site of the John M. 
 Smith house, occupied by Eli Sanderson. It was similar in 
 construction and appearance to the Sanderson and Robinson 
 houses before described. On the south side of the lot next 
 the lane, and on the line of the Street, was a small cooper 
 shop. The house was taken down by Lucius Sanderson about 
 1829, and he built there a one and a half story house, which 
 was the nucleus of the present hou.se. About 1833-4 he sold 
 
668 APPENDIX. 
 
 to Mr. Austin Smith, and it has since been occupied by him 
 and his son, John M. Smith. 
 
 The next house, which was taken down many years ago, 
 was an old style two-story house, built by Isaac Hubbard, Jr., 
 the original owner of the lot, about the middle of the last 
 century. It stood between the two fine elms in front of the 
 lot, but nearer to the south one. Here lived Capt. Clark 
 Rowe, and his shoe-maker's shop was north of the house on 
 the street. Horace W. Taft, Esq., afterwards lived here for 
 several years before and after 1838. A dwelling afterwards 
 built on this site was burned, and I understand there is a 
 third erection within a year or two. 
 
 The next house, for many years the home of Mr. Dean, 
 was then owned by Mr. Lucius Graham, who died there in 
 1825. He was a mechanic, and had a small shop north of his 
 house. His widow lived there afterwards, perhaps until af- 
 ter 1838. 
 
 The next building was the "Town House," which stood a 
 little south of the dwelling of S. S. Warner, back twenty or 
 thirty feet from the Street line. It was a one-story building, 
 gable end to the Street, door in the centre, and would seat 
 one hundred to one hundred and fifty persons. Town meet- 
 ings, prayer meetings and other occasional gatherings were 
 held here. 
 
 The dwelling house just mentioned was built by Dr. Gus- 
 tavus D. Peck, about 1834-5. There was no building on the 
 site previously. 
 
 The next house, still standing on the corner of Middle 
 Lane, exhibited tokens of having once been painted white. 
 Here lived Mr. Elijah Rowe. His son Alpheus was married 
 about 1829, and lived here also, but he and his wife and child 
 all died in 183 1. A year or two afterwards Mr. Horace Hen- 
 derson married a daughter of Mr. Rowe, and was living there 
 before 1838, and many years afterward. A little distance in 
 the rear of this house, was a Lirge, two-story house painted 
 red, in which lived some sisters of Mr. Rowe. I suppose it 
 was the house in which Lieut. Fellows Billings, who removed 
 to Conway during the revolution, kept a tavern for many 
 years. I do not know whether it stood on its original foun- 
 dation or had been moved back to make room for the new 
 house, nor do I remember when it disappeared. 
 
APPENDIX. 669 
 
 There was no other buildinf^ on Middle Lane on the road 
 "back of the lots." 
 
 The next house, now standing, was that of Nathaniel 
 Smith, Esq., grandson of Dea. Nathaniel vSmith, the first set- 
 tler on the lot. It was surrounded by an ornamental fence, 
 and house and fence were painted white. It was considered 
 a very elegant mansion. Here lived also Mr. Austin Smith, 
 who had married an adopted daughter of the owner. Mr. 
 Smith and his wife both died in 1833, and the place was .soon 
 after sold to Mr. Roswell Field, who kept it as a tavern, and 
 it has been so kept most of the time .since. I think perhaps 
 Mr. Field left the place before 1838, but I do not definitely 
 remember its subsequent history. 
 
 The brick building on the northwest corner of the lot, late 
 the dwelling of Mr. Henry J. Graves, was built for the use 
 of the vSunderland bank, which went into operation about 
 1825. The bank was transferred to Amherst after a few 
 years. Mr. Smith was president and Mr. Luther Root, cash- 
 ier. The building was fitted up as a store, and occupied 
 about 1832 by James H. Taylor, and afterwards by Mr. vSam- 
 uel Dunlap, who (after 1838) converted it into a dwelling 
 house. 
 
 The next house, which stood on or near the site of the 
 Sanderson house, was a two-story building and a long two- 
 story ell, making a very large house. Here resided Dea. 
 Elijah Hubbard. His son David, who lived with him, died 
 in 1826. Dea. Hubbard, who w.as a grandson of Dea. Isaac 
 Hubbard, a first settler, died 1834. I do not remember about 
 the place afterwards. There was a large elm tree in front 
 of the house in the Street. 
 
 The next building was the old "Leonard Tavern," a house 
 very similar in size and construction to that of Dea. Hub- 
 bard. It was painted yellow and was standing when I last 
 knew about it. Col. Moses Leonard lived here when I first 
 recollect it, and was succeeded by Roswell Field about 1825-6. 
 Mr. Field sold to Lucius Sanderson, and I think he was liv- 
 ing there in 1838, and perhaps till his death in 1854. 
 
 The next building was a fine large brick dwelling house, 
 built and occupied by Mr. Erastus Graves, on the site of Mr. 
 "Brown's house. All his large family were living with him. 
 When he failed in business in the early thirties the place 
 
670 APPENDIX. 
 
 went to his creditors and (Rev.) Gordon Dorrance was the 
 first permanent occupant whom I remember. Perhaps he 
 was living- there in 1838. Mr. Graves was a descendant in 
 the fourth generation of Isaac Graves, a first settler. 
 
 The next house is the one next south of the Pomeroy place, 
 and very near it; a two-story house, painted white. I think 
 it was owned by Mr. Erastus Graves, but its first occupant 
 whom I remember was Dr. Joshua Green about 1825. He 
 soon left town, and it had various tenants. Dr. Gardiner 
 Dorrance occupied it after his marriage until he left town. 
 I suppose he owned it. I do not remember its subsequent 
 history. 
 
 The next house now standing, and in its exterior much as 
 it was seventy years ago, painted yellow, was occupied by 
 Mr. Isaac Graves, his wife, and son Dexter. He was a 
 grandson of Isaac Graves the original owner of the lot, who 
 built the house, if I recollect the mark on the chimney in 
 1755. Mr. Graves and his wife died in 1826. His son Ash- 
 ley lived there a few years and built a shop north of it. I 
 think it passed to Mr. Pomeroy between 1830 and 1835. 
 
 The next building was the "up street schoolhouse," a fac- 
 simile nearly of the one before described. After my time an 
 addition was made to it, and it was converted into a dwelling 
 and I suppose still exists. There was no building on the 
 upper lane. 
 
 On the north corner of the lane was the dwelling known 
 to a later generation, I suppose, as the Dea. Richards place. 
 Here dwelt Capt. Simeon Ballard and his wife. He was a 
 tall, strong-looking man, with iron gray hair. He sold the 
 place about 1827 to Dea. Josiah Lyman of Montreal, who re- 
 mained in town only three or four years. I do not remem- 
 ber about it further. The house was painted yellow. 
 
 The next house was the Robinson place, then occupied by 
 John R. Robinson, and I suppose in existence and in the 
 hands of his descendants. 
 
 North of this was a small tenement of one story, and I 
 should think containing one room and a loft above, where- 
 in dwelt Mrs. Sally Weaver and her son Constant, called Dr. 
 Weaver, probably because he was a seventh son. He was an 
 epileptic, and when about the street I think both of them 
 
APPENDIX. 671 
 
 were regarded with mingled wonder and terror by the in- 
 fantile population. 
 
 North of this building, on the road to Montague, there was 
 no building until you reached the fulling mill, and dwelling 
 of Thomas E. Munsell, a little south of "the Mill." The road 
 did not then run through Little Meadow, but on the high 
 land east of it. 
 
 I have omitted to mention one dwelling house, which al- 
 though it was in first division, was so near the Street as fair- 
 ly to be considered in the village. There was a large story 
 and a half house standing on the east side of and very near 
 the road south of the Benjamin Graves place, and a little 
 south of the house afterwards built by Mr. Marvin Graves. 
 It was painted yellow and here lived Capt. Selah Graves, 
 who died in 1825, and his son Marvin lived here also many 
 years. 
 
 In the matter of shade trees, I have also omitted three 
 shade trees set out in a "clump" by Thomas Clark before his 
 house, two of which remained some time, and were, I should 
 say, eight to twelve inches in diameter. There were also 
 three or four Lombardy Poplars in Lower Lane, east of Ben- 
 jamin Graves's place. 
 
 I think I have named all the dwelling houses and other 
 buildings which were standing in the village (except out 
 buildings) before 1838. It .seems to me now that possibly 
 there was a small dwelling house in Bridge Lane, east of the 
 Fairchild house. I now remember that Amos Marsh did 
 have a cooper shop there about 1828. So far I qualify my 
 first statement. It is to be understood that when not other- 
 wise specified the buildings were unpainted. 
 
 I think I have also enumerated all the shade trees stand- 
 ing in the street in 1830. There were ornamental shrubs and 
 small fruit trees about some of the houses, within the enclos- 
 ing fences. 
 
 At the period named (1838 or thereabout) the village had 
 an unkempt and slovenly appearance, not as contrasted with 
 other villages of the time, but in marked contrast to the care 
 and cultivation which have made the village one of the most 
 pleasant and attractive of its kind in the land. 
 
 I have spoken of the stagnant pond at the south end on the 
 street. There were other places where the water stood until 
 
672 APPENDIX. 
 
 it evaporated, notably along the east side of the street, above 
 the Lucius Graham place, about the centre of the village and 
 north of it, on the west side of the Street. Smartweed, dock, 
 nettles and other weeds grew luxuriously in many places. 
 I do not know whether the town by vote permitted "cattle to 
 go at large without a keeper," as it might legally do at that 
 time, but cows wandered about or fed undisturbed. Many 
 families kept small flocks of geese, and they did not add to 
 the cleanliness of the street. In front of the N. A. Smith 
 house the ground was not graded, and there was a rough 
 bank three or four feet high near the travelled road, a "jump- 
 ing off place" for the boys. 
 
 It was a very common practice when any building was in 
 progress, to place the logs in the street, and saw and hew them 
 there, (there was no sawed timber then) and when the work 
 was done the timber was removed, and the chips and rubbish 
 were removed afterwards. It was not an uncommon prac- 
 tice for a householder to deposit his winter stock of wood in 
 the street and cut it up there. The wood was drawn, eight 
 feet long "sled length." There were accumulations and ob- 
 structions, more or less, about the mechanic's shops I have 
 described. 
 
 I have shown that not more than half the dwellings had 
 ever been painted, and many of these in the remote past. 
 These had the shabby appearance which always follows the 
 neglect of a painted building. The lines of the street were 
 irregular, and the front fences, mostly of plain boards, were 
 in many places neglected and out of repair. 
 
 About 1830, I know not through whose agency, a move- 
 ment was inaugurated to improve the condition of the Street. 
 The residents generally co-operated; the lines of the Street 
 were straightened by legal proceedings, and within two or 
 three years the Street was lined with shade trees, mostly ma- 
 ples, and new picket fences gradually took the place of the 
 old ones. wSince then a return to the old careless habit has 
 been exception and not general. The younger elms, of which 
 there are now many, grown to be large and line trees, were, 
 I think, mostly set out since 1838.

 Except the Isaac Graves house (Pomeroy) before men-

 the only one remaining, which was built by an original set- 
 tler. The John R. Smith house, on the lot of which Noah 
 Graves was the first owner, though not one of the forty first 
 settlers, may have been built by him. He died in 1773. 
 
INDIAN WARS. 
 
 Mr. Sheldon in his History of Deerfield, has given some 
 facts not found elsewhere, showing the apprehensions and 
 danger to which the infant settlement at Sunderland during 
 "Fathers Rasle's war," 1722-26, which seems worthy of a place 
 in this history — thus, May 14, 1723, Col. Partridge writes to 
 Gov. Dummer, "The river is pretty well secured by the forts 
 and men at Northfield and Deerfield, yet Sunderland, Hat- 
 field and Hadley, Northampton, Westfield and Brookfield and 
 Rutland are too much exposed to invasion from the East and 
 West. * * * * '^ These towns can't stand the strain upon 
 them to watch and ward scout and fort without pay, while

OCCUPATIONS OF OUR GRANDMOTHERS. 
 
 CONTRIBUTED BY MRS. FANNY MONTA(;UK STOCKHKII XJK. 
 
 The present generation of New Eng-land country dwellers 
 can hardly estimate the difference between their own occu- 
 pations and those which were the lot of their ancestors. 
 
 Farmers' wives are not less changed in lines of work to- 
 day than are the farmers. Seventy years ago every family 
 expected to earn its annual expenses, and to live together in 
 the common home. The men labored in the fields and for- 
 ests, the women in the houses and gardens. 
 
 Their domestics were few; sometimes the adoption of an 
 orphan girl brought a quick-fingered maiden to assist the 
 home mother, and generally the active boys were not only 
 ready, but persi.stent in their help. 
 
 The work of the mistress appalls us. She had children to 
 bring in wood and water for her; to pick the beans and the 
 berries, to take the cows to pasture nights and mornings; and 
 to run on frequent errands, to bring in the eggs and apples, 
 but all this line of work was termed with entire disrespect 
 "the chores," and though absolutely necessary, was never ac- 
 counted of importance. 
 
 What absorbed the long days in every family was* the spin- 
 ning. It was best done in Summer, if it was intended for 
 knitting yarn, for blankets, for flannel under-clothing and 
 sheets, or homespun cloth to make the men's clothing. This 
 spinning on the big wheel was standing work and walking 
 work, while the large whirling wheel buzzed from morning 
 till dark, and the skill of the worker and her steady, unvary- 
 ing strain upon the twisting and lessening thread, alone con- 
 structed and insured its even quality. 
 
 For a large part of the spinning, the wool (prepared by 
 careful cleaning and sorting) had been dyed either indigo 
 blue or butternut brown; to be afterwards mixed with white 
 wool before carding and making into long rolls for the 
 spinner. 
 
678 APPENDIX. 
 
 Both these d3''es were made by the mistress of the house, 
 while black was supplied from the "black sheep" of the flock. 
 She was the authority in compounding- colors and in decid- 
 ing upon the style and depth of tint to be attained. 
 
 A large part of the yarn spun was doubled and twisted for 
 knitting. All the stockings of the family were the evening 
 hand-work of the female members. Four new pairs of "socks" 
 (the distinguishing appellation of men's stockings) for each 
 man of the family was the scantiest yearly allowance. These 
 were never white, and almost always were ribbed by revers- 
 ing every third stitch, which added to the task of the knitter. 
 
 The mother of Mr. J. M. Smith once said to me, "there 
 must always be eighteen pairs of men's stockings and twelve 
 pairs of women's stockings freshly provided every year in 
 my family." To perform this interminable task, every mo- 
 ment of rest, of visiting, and of waiting, was occupied with 
 the knitting-needles. If sleepless at night, the women sat 
 up in bed in the dark, and knit at utmost speed; for every ac- 
 complished knitter was guided by touch in this work. If by 
 chance she had a book to read, her fingers never for an in- 
 stant relaxed their mechanical speed and regularity in knit- 
 ting. Laying the book on a table, turning the pages with 
 her knitting needle, her stocking grew, almost like a fairy 
 production. 
 
 A loom with accessories, occupied a loft in a majority of 
 the houses, and served the needs of the poorer, unprovided 
 families, who kept the shuttles flying when the owners could 
 spare it. Most women had learned to set a woof, and roll up 
 the warp, and could weave coarse crash and bed-ticking, but 
 fine diaper twills and "bird-eye" were given over to the ac- 
 complished village weaver. Nothing could be woven more 
 than a yard in width. All fine table linen and sheeting, 
 counterpanes and blankets were made of two widths, joined 
 with an overseam in the middle. 
 
 The labor of manufacturing flax was less continuously car- 
 ried on. It was spun in Winter, before an open fire, and the 
 spinner sat at her work, making motive power with her feet, 
 and using both hands in managing and evolving a smooth 
 thread. 
 
 It must be remembered no cotton ever grew in New Eng- 
 land, and at that time the labor of preparing cotton was not 
 
APPENDIX. 679 
 
 less than preparing flax. It was everywhere hand-work of 
 women. 
 
 A large item was the making of thread for sewing. The 
 thread which had basted a seam was carefully saved for a 
 second or third use, and no scrap of it went to waste in hands 
 which had known how much time and work its making rep- 
 resented. 
 
 "Save all your needlefuls," said Aunt Molly, to the heed- 
 less girl, "you will sometime have saved enough to buy a 
 heathen a Bible." 
 
 When the flax had been spun and woven, there was an en- 
 tire season, beginning in early Spring, before snow had melt- 
 ed, devoted to its bleaching. When it was frosted at night 
 and thawed by the sunshine, the threads gained in softness; 
 when it lay upon the green grass in May, it grew a clearer 
 white. Linen made in this primitive way is still to be found 
 in the families of long standing, and it is probably the most 
 durable textile in the world. No factory-made goods can 
 compare with it for strength or silkiness of lustre or dura- 
 bility. 
 
 Upon the best of homespun linen the women lavished their 
 skill and taste. Precious beyond all other materials, they 
 added to its value by original decorations of embroidery, in 
 threads of white linen, or by colored worsteds of several 
 shades of blue. Many specimens of this work are still to be 
 found in Sunderland, varying from loo to 200 years in age, 
 and illustrations in this book give some idea of the designs 
 which have been preserved. 
 
 The embroideries of the Hubbard and Montague families 
 of Sunderland and the Beldens of Amherst (work from the 
 last named coming into the Warner family of Sunderland) 
 precede others in early date of existing specimens. What 
 is oftenest shown is a decoration of conventional florets and 
 scrolls, done in stitches partly like the modern Kensington, 
 but partly due to original thought and experiment by the 
 women themselves. 
 
 Similar work in other towns has been recognized and wide- 
 ly copied, except here and there a few unknown stitches, 
 which are to be found in the original specimens. It is known 
 among embroiderers by the title "New England work." 
 There have come down to us neither tidies nor doilies.

 neither sofa-pillow covers, nor table mats; — the fancy work 
 of our grandmothers was as serious as their lives. 
 
 The best room of the house served not only as reception 
 room for guests, but as sleeping room for them. It was 
 ample in size and a prominent place in it was devoted to a 
 bedstead, the four posts of which, more or less elaborately 
 carved, reached nearly to the ceiling and supported a tester, 
 from which depended the white linen curtains, hanging in 
 ample folds to the floor. These curtains and the curtains 
 of the windows, the "counter-pane" of the bed, and the val- 
 ances of the tester, and of the bedstead, and even the holders 
 hanging each side of the fireplace, were the materials upon 
 which embroidery was lavished. Edges were elaborately 
 fringed with hand-knitted lace patterned, scalloped or pointed 
 fringes. The name of the lady, and sometimes the date of 
 the embroidery, occupy the centre of the design, and the 
 scroll or ribboned design mixed with flowers is evenly dis- 
 tributed over the entire surface of the textile. In all this 
 blue and white worsted work the linen was made in the fam- 
 ily, the "lamb's wool" was spun and dyed into threads like 
 the English crewels by the same hands ; and the decorations 
 of needlework were all designed and embroidered by the 
 same women. Later generations devised different styles. 
 The village weaver wove a diamond diaper material, not 
 wholly of the first class flax, but still flexible and thick. 
 Embroidery upon this was of tufts and knots, giving higher 
 relief. 
 
 In the days when buttons were clumsy and rough in finish, 
 some ingenious woman devised a button made of thread cir- 
 cling round and round a point and held in circular shape by 
 fine needle stitches. This ingenious device was modified 
 to make elaborate flowers to be applied to the surface of 
 "counter-panes" made from 1790 to 1820. It gave a high re- 
 lief to the work, and in patterns imitating heavy lace were 
 extremely effective. 
 
 Succeeding this "applique" work formed of thread-made 
 buttons and knots, was a variety of "drawn work," dependent 
 upon pulled-out threads, and completed by means of rever- 
 ing and hem-stitching. Less artistic taste and less original- 
 ity was required in this sort of fancy work, and it was popular.

 About this time "working in lace" was a widely practised 
 handiwork. As Mechlin and old English thread-lace were 
 rare and costly, and as every woman must have a veil to 
 complete her head attire, the accomplishment of filling in a 
 plain net lace with a variety of minute stitches, thereby dot- 
 ting it with tiny figures, spread over the entire land. Mrs. 
 Nathaniel Smith wore a black lace veil on Sundays which 
 was responsible for many heart burnings, and much inatten- 
 tion to the devotional service. Several of the Warner girls 
 failed to rival it, from the cost of materials, but the daugh- 
 ters of Deacon Quartus Smith, Wealthy and Rosanna, 
 reached to the same elevated plane, and embroidered veils 
 no longer ranked as exclusive and aristocratic. 
 
 In one of the great English Cathedrals is preserved the 
 will of a devout Churchman who made the church his heir. 
 His wealth was largely the handiwork of his wife, and to her 
 he considerately willed ''oncoi the 20 large pieces of tapestry 
 which she had made." 
 
 Our grandmothers enjoyed greater rights in their own 
 handiwork than that, though perhaps not greater apprecia- 
 tion. 
 
 Whatever the pecuniary condition of the family, the per- 
 sonal work and belongings of the Mother always descended 
 to her daughters and their heirs exclusively. 
 
 The consequence has been noted in the transfer of family 
 heirlooms to other towns and other names, in large degree 
 among Sunderland families. 
 
 When did our Grandmothers accomplish so many, many 
 things ? We know that domestic service was infrequent and 
 of trifling value. It was the Mistress who rose first in the 
 morning, cooked, and cleaned the house; that house with an 
 interior composed of unpainted wood-panelled partitions and 
 doors, and heavy protruding wood beams called summers in 
 the ceiling, and posts of wood in the corners of the rooms. 
 It was heated with an open fireplace, where hung one or 
 more cranes from which depended sometimes the dinner- 
 pot, sometimes the tea-kettle and a skillet of ha.sty pudding. 
 
 It was by this fire the jellies and marmalade were made; 
 the huckleberries, blackberries and raspberries were con- 
 densed into an extract for winter pies, the pumpkins and 
 apples were pared and strung for drying; the pickles were 
 
682 APPENDIX. 
 
 salted and .spiced, the brine was scalded for pork and beef, 
 the candles were made, the milk was warmed for cheese- 
 making; the soap was made in Spring, and the summer beer 
 was brewed with sassafras and dock-root for harvesters and 
 hay-makers. 
 
 Not all of the work was accomplished by the fireside. vShe 
 gathered and dried in the garret her own medical herbs, 
 and her thyme, summer-savory and sage for sausages and 
 roast meats. She boiled her cider in the open air for apple 
 butter; she churned in the wood shed, or on the stoop, till 
 snows drove her indoors. She sat up all night with the sick 
 neighbors, and attended the monthly "Mothers' Meetings," 
 she went to the sewing society, and was present at every fun- 
 eral. 
 
 The sewing for every member of the family was hers al- 
 so, and the cutting very generally. Even the shoe-maker 
 returned to her the "uppers" of the children's shoes, to be 
 bound and eyeleted and stitched before he pegged on the 
 soles. The tailoress came to the house to fashion the coat 
 for the master, and have her help in pressing and making 
 pockets. 
 
 But the baking days and the polished pewters, the quilt- 
 ings, and the pariuij; bees, the husk-mats and rag carpets are 
 gone forever. 
 
 The simple manners and sincere lives of our grandmothers 
 are fast fading from memory, though their homes were a 
 delight and their society was charming. 
 
REV. CHARLES HARDING. 
 
 Charles Harding-, whose photograph can be seen opposite 
 page 208, was born in Whately, Mass., Nov. 21, 1826, and died 
 Sept. 29, 1899. He had been 43 years in service of the 
 American Board as missionary in Marathi Mission, located 
 most of the time at Sholapur. He camo to vSunderland to 
 live with his grandparents, Dea. Ouartus Smith and wife, 
 when fourteen, working upon a farm till 20 years of age, and 
 thus became better fitted for the after hardships of life. He 
 united with the Congregational Church in Sunderland in 
 1843, during the pastorate of Rev. Austin Cary. who, no 
 doubt, had much influence in moulding his Christian char- 
 acter and inculcating in him a desire for missionary service. 
 He was greatly beloved by the citizens in Sunderland, while 
 his home was with them, and when making short visits to 
 this his adopted town after he left to get an education, his 
 presence has been considered a benediction upon this people. 
 He was a most efficient missionary, beloved by his associates 
 and by the natives. 
 
 His education for his life work was commenced at Willis- 
 ton Seminary, from which he went to Yale College, graduat- 
 ing in 1853, and from Union Theological Seminary in New 
 York in 1856. During his cour.se of education he assisted 
 himself by teaching, leading church choirs and in other ways. 
 His ordination occurred July 3, 1856, at vSunderland. He 
 was appointed a missionary of the American Board and des- 
 ignated to its oldest mission, Marathi, in Western India, the 
 same year, leaving Boston, August, 1856. During all these 
 years he has visited the United States three times on fur- 
 lough. 
 
 His first station in India was- at Bombay. Later on he was 
 stationed at Sholapur, a city some 280 miles southeast of 
 Bombay. This had been his home up to the time of his death. 
 
684 APPENDIX. 
 
 He died at Wai, where he was for a season in the hope of se- 
 curing needed rest. As the senior missionary of the eight 
 stationed at Sholapur, he was in charge of the important in- 
 terests in connection with 14 out-stations and 53 native Chris- 
 tain helpers. 
 
 Mr. Harding's first wife was Julia M. Terry of Plymouth, 
 Conn., who died at Sholapur, Feb. 1 1, 1867. His second wife, 
 Elizabeth Darling Ballantine, dauglitCf of a well-known mis- 
 sionary of the Marathi Mission,- was born in India, and sur- 
 vives him. Eight children are also living, two of them now 
 in the mission field.
