THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH in Turkey Hills,
now the town of East Granby, Connecticut, is said by tra
dition to have been organized in 1737, the year in which
the society or parish in which it is located held its first
meeting. The General Assembly in October of the previous year
had passed an act which divided the town of Simsbury into four
ecclesiastical societies, the section previously called the "north
east corner' ' being established as Turkey Hills. The same year
another act of the Assembly enlarged the limits of the society, by
adding to it on the east a section of the town of Windsor, having
a length of about four miles and known from its width as "the
half mile". In 1786, by division of the town of Simsbury, the
section of Turkey Hills which had been in that town became a
part of the town of Granby; and in 1854, by the same method,
the section which had been in Windsor became a part of the town
of Windsor Locks. On June 2, 1858, the town of East Granby
was incorporated with practically the same boundaries as the so
ciety of Turkey Hills.
Even before, the society was formally established, Turkey Hills
had been granted some privileges by the town of Simsbury, for
on the town records under date of January 20, 1729-30, it was
"voted that Tirkey hills Inhabitants their proportions of ye
minifters Rate fhall be payd to their own hired minifter m"' Col
lins' ' . Several later votes are of a like tenor.
Owing to the loss, of all records of the church previous to
November 1776, but little is known of its early history. From
the records of the society the names of its early ministers and
deacons can be learned; and it can rea,sonably be assumed that
the great majority, if not all of those persons who took an active
part in the affairs of the society during its first forty years were
also members of the church.

The records here printed are contained in two volumes. The
earlier of these is a leather bound book whose pages measure
thirteen by seven and three-fourths inches. The first two leaves
are missing. The records begin on page 5 and end on page 1 24,
with some intervening pages left blank and a number of blank
leaves at the end. On the last page is a short table of contents
in the handwriting of Rev. Whitfield Cowles. The later book is
bound in boards, with marbled paper sides and leather back and
corners. Its pages measure eight by six and one-half inches, and
are numbered from i to 366, with some of the pages left blank.
These records are printed with the knowledge and the informal
permission of the ofiicers of the church. A. c. B.

[7] A Plan of Church Difcipline.
At a C'"'" Meeting regularly held in Turkey Hills Nov'' 12 1776
After mature Confideration y° C'' agreed & 'Voted as follows
That this C"" takes y"= Word of God to be y'= only Sure & uner
ring Rule of C'^'' difcipline, & We do not think any platform of
Qhh difcipline of humane Compofure without Juft exceptions.
However, we agree that the Platform drawn up by the Elders &
Meffengers of y'^ C''"' of Connecticut convened at Say Brook A D
1708 in y'^ Main is agreeable to y" Word of God & is a good
directory But
i^' We are not Well Satif fied that y" 7*'' Article in y^ Heads
of Agreement drawn up by y" Elders & Meffengers aforefaid &
ye jst j^j-ticle in y" Adminiftration of C''' Difcipline are without
juft exceptions. Eut are of Opinion that the Adminiftration of
Qhh difcipline is communicated jointly to y'^ Paftor & C'''. Eut
as Paftors or Elders are accounted worthy of double honour. So
we believe they ought to have & be allowed a double Vote in all
Acts & Votes of y^ C".
a'y We are not Satiffied with y'= 7 Article That a C'' in y'=
calling of a Council ought to be confined to y"^ confociated c'''"' of
y^ Circuit to w*" they belong, but we believe that a C'^'' when they
So agree have a right to call in a promifcuous Council.
3'y With ref pect to y° 8"' Article we are not well Satiffied
but think that an offending Brother has no Eiberty of appealing
to a Council after he is excommunicated from y'' C'''' Neverthe
lefs Should he think himfelf aggrieved we will allow him y°
privilege of calling in a Mutual advifory Council before he is
excommunicated. 4'^ With Ref pect to y" 4 Article we are not very well fatiffied
for We believe that whenever a Council is called [8] nothing
ought to be deemed an act of it which hath not the major Part
of y" Elders & Meffengers prefent.

S''' & laftly We are not Satiffied with the 14 Article, for tho
We allow it to be very expedient that deftitute and bereaved
Qhhs jjj ordinary Cafes confult y" Affociation & take their advice
concerning thofe Perfons who are fit to be called & Settled in the
Gofpel Ministry among them; yet notwithstanding as we believe
that c''''^ have y'* right of chofing their own Ofiicers So we do
not look upon it they are abfolutely bound to adhere to Such
advice at all times but there may be cafes in which they may
have a right to Judge & to act for themfelves without it.
Concerning y" reft of y'^ rules in Say Brook Platform We are
So far Satiffied with them as to agree in taking them for a good
help to underftand y'' Word of God in y"* Adminiftration of C''
Difcipline & We Agree to act in Conformity to them until God
Shall be pleafed to give us further Eight. Teft Sam" Owen Clerk

I Joseph Forward acknowledge myself too hasty in declaring

We the Congregational Church in Turkey hills do acknowledge
that in consequence of the above mentioned hasty declaration of
our Brother Joseph Forward, we did too hastily debar him from
our Communion and in Consequence of our deranged situation
have too long neglected attending to endeavouring to heal the
unhappy Breach. We now therefore declare there is no bar
against him and is therefore considered in Regular Standing.

N°y 19"' 1808 At a Church meeting warned as the Gofpel
directs, for the purpose of Considering the doings of the North
Consociation in Hartford County, in a formal attempt to take
from s* Church their Pastor. Voted unanimously that the
doings of s* Council afsembled to Consider, hear and determine
the Complaint of Rofwell Skinner & others against the Rvd.
Whitfield Cowles, were contrary to the word of God and there
fore null and void, for the following Reasons.
i" The Church of Christ in Turkey hills had not a letter
missive requesting her to take a seat in fd Council by her mef-
senger which right was hers she not being a party.
2 S* Council voting to difpense with the laws of Christ in the
18"' Chapter of the Gofpel of Mathew did deny the first and
second Steps therein written to be necefsary in reclaiming an
offending Brother, which steps are by the great head made nec
efsary, yea are the [108] true duty, And therefore fundamental
to all holy and Christian discipline.
3'* Said Council did practically go on the ground of receiving
an accusation against an Elder at the mouth of or before One
witnefs in direct violation of Gods holy word.
4"' Said Council altho' our beloved Pastor did turn to them
saying I repent -Brethren of all in which you shall find me guilty,
did not forgive him as Christ Jesus demands.
5"' Said Council did invade the right of the Church of Christ
in Turky hills by taking their Pastor virtually from them, with
out their Confent and against their will formally exprefsed to f*
Confociation, great was their violence trampling the unalienable
rights of Christs Church beneath their feet.
6"' Said Council demurring Judgment on Pastor Church and
Society, was asked by said pastor to Show the Chapter, in Gods
holy word, or the pafsage, leaf or page in Seabrook platform.
Justifying such Judgtment, but would not, while it was their
duty to give reasons of their hope, that they had done right and
Shew their warrant in the exercise of such power.
[109] 7"' Said Council did not regard the Constitution, be
tween f * pastor Church and Society which is altogather Congre
gational. One article of which is "that if any difficulty arise
between Minister and people it shall be adjusted and fettled by a
Mutual Council. ' ' Another Article is, ' ' That in Case any member
of the Church be agrieved and cannot receive redrefs in the Church,
a mutual Council fhall be called from the afsociated Churches."
8"' Said Council did not regard the manner of Settlement and
Ordination of s* Pastor, which took place by a mutual call of
Elders and delegates from any of the Churches of Christ, with
out refference to the North Confociation in Hartford County.
We the Church of Christ in Turky hills do therefore for the
above reasons in the Name of our Divine Lord and Master with
draw our fellowship from and folemnly difsolve all connection

57
with f* Confociation as an unchristian body, an Engine of Tyrrany
and opprefsion ' ' Come ye out of her my people that ye be not
partakers of her plagues and Sins ' ' She may no more invade
our holy rights, Jesus Christ is our only head and the word of
God our only rule of Christian faith and discipline.

At Church Meeting Holden by adjournment at the Meeting

Meeting opened by the Moderator
B'" Walter Thrall requested to read the letter prepared for to
admonish our Sister Deborah Thrall.
Accordingly he read as follows Sister Deborah Thrall
Profefsor of Christianity. We would assure You that we sin
cerely lament the occation of this addrefs. Yet it becomes the
duty of the Church (of which you are a meraber) in the exercise
of that watchfulnefs which we have most soUemly to Maintain
over each other, to continue their labour with you in consequence
of your disorderly walk, which has been represented to the
Church and accepted to be substantially correct in the following
particulars Viz.
That you have frequently played at Cards.
That You have for a considerable time absented Yourself from
publick worship on the Sabbath.
That you have avoided the Company of Members of the Church
when requested to meet and Converse with them
And that you have frequented the Company of Non profefsors.
And finally in Conversation with Brethren of the Church you
acknowledge to have relinquished the hope which you once man
ifested of being renewed in hart by the Holy Spirrit And that
you live entirely without prayer, and have no desire to continue
a Member of the Church to which you now belong, and for all
these things no evidence of penitence or reformation has been
given. Beloved these things ought not so to be. It becometh us
therefore as Brethren, as the profefsed Deciples of [116] Christ,
in meeknefs. Brotherly love and Charity, and with a deep sence
of our responsibility to the great Head of the Church, to admon
ish, rebuke, and Exhort with all long suffering and patience, if
haply these means by the blefsing of Him who careth for us may
be made effectual to Your reformation, the renewal of the temper
of your mind, and the final sanctification of Your Immortal
Spirrit, O Deborah, with what language shall we addrefs You,
we who have witnefsed Your proffeson and in days past Your
apparent zeal for Christ, we who desire to seek the glory of
Christ's Church and to feel deeply interested in Your Eternal
well being, we must obey the apostle and rebuke the Younger
women as Sisters with all privity, and knowing that in many
things we offend all — we would desire to humble ourselves as in
the Sight of God, and pray that in this communication of love
the Holy Spirrit may endite our exprefsions, that God thro us
may speak powerfully and effectually to Your hart give You un
feigned repentance for sin, faith in the Saviour and a disposition

62
to new obedience, we would earnestly entreat you to reflect seri
ously and prayerfully on the nature and consequences of Your
Conduct, and how awfully fatal if persifted in. How does Your
Conduct compare with the Injunctions of the blefsed Gospel, that
those who name the name of Christ must be caref uU to part from
all iniquity? How does it compare with the will of him who
saith, Be ye holy as I ara holy ? Or How does it corapare with
those SoUemn Covenant Obligations You are under and which are
recorded in Heaven as an eternal meraorial of Your adoption into
the family of Christ, or as a memorial of Your delusion or Hypoc-
racy. Have You seriously reflected that you must one day
appear before the Judgmentseat of Christ and answer to Your
Injured Saviour? Have your carnal Joys while at the gaming
Table never been interrupted with this SoUemn thought. Thy
vows are upon me O God. And while afsociating with Companions
in vice has not this command disturbed You. Come out from
among them and be ye Seperated Saith the Lord and touch not
the unclean thing and I will receive You and will be a father
unto You and Ye [117] Shall be my Sons and Daughters saith
the Lord allmighty. While you avoid the society of Christians
and delight not in their conversation. Can You have peace ? do
not reflections of this kind AUarm You I have profefsed to love
the Lord my God Yet have not that Spirrit in exercise which
causes those who love and fear Him to speak often one to an
other. I have profefsed to love the Saviour and to become his
follower. Yet I fear am destitute of that love to the Brethren
which is the distinguishing Characteristic of his Diciples. And
while you unnecifsarily neglect the public Worship of God on
his holy Sabbath. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Forsake not the afsembling yourselves together as the manner of
some is. From one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to
worship before me Saith the Lord, and ye shall keep my Sab
baths and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. That con
stant neglect of prayer which You confefs is Your Case, is an
Idea weighty and Solemn, it must almost deprive you from
Sharing in that Christian Charity which is the bond of perfect-
nefs, and it stands in violation of the Commands of that God
who alone answereth Prayer. He commands to pray always,
pray without ceasing, lift up your Heart with Your hands unto
God in the heavens. Blefs ye the Lord, praying in the holy
Ghost giving thanks always for all things unto God and the
Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your confefsion
that you have given up Your hope of being born of the Spirrit
and the will of God and that you desire no longer to remain a
Member of this Church, may charitably be considered in a degree
as involuntary and as arising from a conscioufnefs of the incon-
sistincy of your conduct compared with Your profefsion Yet as
one who has profefsed to become spirritually enlightened and to

63
have tasted the good word of life, if you continue in the neglect
of known duty and in violation of Gods holy comraands. You
must give up your hope, and Your Brethren in Obedience to
Christ's Commands must be constrained to consider of you as an
Heathen Man and a Publican. [ii8] And that too under a
view of that SoUemn and Momentoes Declaration of the great
head of the Church to his Disciples that whatsoever Ye bind on
Earth Shall be bound in Heaven. It will then remain for God
and Your own conscience to apply the following declarations of
his holy word. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of
the world thro the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ they are again entangled therein and overcome the latter
end is worse with them then the Beginning. For it had been
better for them not to have known the way of righteousnefs than
after they have known it to turn from the holy coramandment
delivered unto them. The Just shall live by faith but if any
draw back my Soul shall have no pleasure in Him. For if we
sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the
truth there remaneth no more sacrifice for Sins but a certain
fearful looking for of Judgment and firey indignation which
shall devour the adversaries. It would be desireable here to adopt
the language of the Apostle, and say. Beloved we are persuaded
better things of you and things that accompany salvation tho we
thus speak. You have the promise of Salvation if you will con
tinue faithful to the end, the Blefsed Saviour he that holdeth the
Starrs in his right hand Saith, He that overcometh the sarae shall
be clothed in white raiment and I will not blot out his name out
of the Book of life I will make him a pillar in the temple of my
God and he shall go no more out, and I will write upon him my
new name. We would exhort you to endure as a faithfuli Sol
dier of Christ. When in darknefs you must remember that it is
sin that hides the Saviour's face. Yet if we confefs our sins he
is faithful and Just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousnefs. Tho You may have Crusified the Son of
God afresh and put him to open Shame. Tho you may have
brought [119] reproach upon his cause and strengthened the
enemy. Yet God is merciful and we have an advocate with the
Father even Jesus Christ the righteous. Tho you have wandered
and Backsliden. Tho you may have abused the holy One of
God the redeemer of souls. Yet self abhorance for sin, attend
to the language of his mercy. Then saith the Lord I remember
thee, the kindnefs of thy Youth. The love of thine espousals.
Turn O Backsliding Children Saith the Lord for I am married
unto You, and I will bring You to Zion. Remember therefore
from whence thou art fallen and repent and do thy first works.
Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to You. Be afflicted
and Mourn and weep. Humble yourself in the Sight of the
Lord and he shall lift you up. This is the language of Devine
mercy thro a Redeemer. Be entreated, be encouraged then to

64
return by sincere repentance. Go before your God on the bended
knees of Your Soul, and in true humility say. Father I have
sinned against Heaven and in thy sight and am no more worthy
to be called thy Child, and be afsured his mercy will be swift
to meet you tho a great way off. The Church pray for you, we
long for you in the Lord. And O that the blefsed Saviour who
looked a denying Peter into repentance may turn and look upon
you in mercy. That You may weep bitterly for sin, and humble

[5] A Confession of faith.
I . You believe that there is but one God subsisting in three
persons, the Father, the Son the Holy Ghost, in whom are all
possible perfections.
2. You believe that God made & upholds all things by his
power, & is the supreme Governor of all worlds.
3. You believe the holy Scriptures are the word of God, &
are a perfect rule of faith and manners.
4. You believe that God made man upright, and originally
instamped upon him his image of knowledge, of [6] righteous
ness & of holiness.
5. You believe that by reason of the sin and fall of the first
man, Adam, he plunged himself & all his prosterity into a state
of sin & misery.
6. You believe that it pleased God from eternity to choose
some of fallen men to everlasting life through sanctification of the
Spirit and belief of the truth, and so in the fullness of time sent
forth his only begotten Son made of a woman, made under the
law to redeem them who are under the curse of the law.
[7] 7. You believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior of
man, neither is there salvation in any other, nor any other name
under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

68
8. You believe that repentance, faith, love & new obediance
are the only conditions of eternal salvation stated in the gospel.
9. You believe that there are certain special ordinances insti
tuted by Christ, which are baptism and the Lord's supper, that
are in a religious manner to be observed by his followers.
10. You believe that the Lord's supper is an holly ordinance
instituted by Christ, wherein by giving and [8] receiving Bread
and Wine according to Christ's appointment his death is showed
forth of which this is to be a standing memorial to the end of the
world 1 1 . And finally you believe that God has appointed a day in
which he will judge the world by Jesus Chirst, and that in that
day they who have done good shall be absolved and acquited and
made perfectly blessed in the full enjoyment of God forever,
But they who have done evil and died in their impenitency, shall
be turned down to a burning hell, & lodged there forever.
[9] A Covenant
You do now in the presence of God and before angels and men
who are witnesses of this transaction solemnly avouch the Lord
Jehovah God the Father Son and Holy Ghost to be your God.
You do also take the holy Scriptures to be the only rule of your
faith & practice (and togather with yourself give up your off
spring to God avouching the Lord to be your God & the God of
your seed). You acknowledge your sinfulness by nature & by
practice, and that all your hopes of pardon & salvation are [10]
built only on the righteousness and satisfaction of Christ, whom
you now take to be your Savior, your Prophet Priest and King,
solemnly promising through the help of divine grace to live in all
respects according to the rules and precepts of the gospel, that
you will carefully attend on all the ordinances of it, and that you
will submit yourself to the discipline and government of Christ
in his Church.

Charge of this Church Report by Communication from him as
follows To the Congregational Church at Turkey-hills Granby.
Brethren. Your Call dated the 31" of August of the current
year, has received, as I think it deserved, very serious considera
tion. It is not possible for me to describe the struggle of principle

7-6
and feeling it has occasioned. I will only say it is not because I
have felt no attachment to the people and no interest in their wel
fare that I have so long hesitated. The truth is my circumstances
have been so peculiar that I have found it exceedingly difficult to
learn what the great Head of the Church would have me to do;
nor have I after all obtained that full satisfaction which I could
desire. But as the Lord has put it into your hearts to seek the
benefit of reUgious institutions and to make so generous sacrifices
to support the Christian Ministry; as it is so desirable you should
succeed in procuring a Minister [36] and at least possible you
might fail to obtain any other person ; I cannot find it in my heart
to leave you. I do therefore accept your Call; and though I do it
with cheerfulness it is with fear and trembling: And I beseech
you, Brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake and for the love of
the Spirit that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God
for me that I may come unto you with joy by the will of God and
with you be refreshed.
Now the God of peac be with you all.
Your willing Servant

Attest D Hemenway Past.

[82] i837 April 27 Church met this day according to ad
journment to consider the complaint made against Bro. Thrall.
He was present and pleaded not guilty to the charge of intemper
ance Whereupon Church proceeded to hear testimony in support
of this charge.
The first specification under this general charge was that on
the 4"' of June 1836 he was so rauch under the influence of
intoxicating drink as to lose his self control and disgrace his
christian profession. Bro. A Robbins, testified that he saw Bro
Thrall that day at the meeting house. There was a meeting of
the Ecclesiastical Society for the purpose of deliberating on the
subject of selling the slips. Bro Thrall was greatly excited from
some cause. Could not say that he had been drinking. Doct.
Hamlin testified that he saw Bro Thrall at the meeting house
and that he was much excited. He had occasion to do businefs
with brother Thrall on that day. Saw him [83] attempt to
compute the contents of a load of wood in which he failed and
requested him to compute it. Came in contact with his breath
and was confident he had been drinking spirit of some kind.
Thinks he could not be mistaken in this. Bro. Cornish testified
that he saw Bro Thrall and noticed that he was unusually excited
thot, at the time, that it was occasioned by Spirit of some kind.
Bro. Hillyer testified that he was at the store after Society's
meeting. Saw the contest between Bro. Thrall and Alderman
in which Bro Thrall seized him by the collar.
The .second specification under this general charge was that on
the 19, or 20, of Jany 1837 he was again so rauch under the
influence of intoxicating drinks as to be disqualified for businefs.
Doct Hamlin testified that he was visiting Jane daily at the
time specified, [84] that he saw brother ThraU in a condition
that it was very difficult for him to communicate his ideas. Could
not articulate distinctly, was very dull and sleepy. Appeared
very different from what he usually does. Mrs. Joab Owen was
present. Thinks his appearance was the consequence of drinking
intoxicating drinks.
Mr. Hemenway testified that he saw brother ThraU in the
early part of the day, Thursday 19"' Jany, he was excited evidently
then. He saw him again a little after noon and after Doct. Hamlin
had left, when he was extremely incoherent in his conversation,
had no control over his feelings. Wept much in talking about
his situation, was very different in his appearance from what he
generally is. Had seen him in a .similar situation before. His
whole manner and conversation showed unnatural excitement.
[85] The third Specification under this complaint was that at
various other times he has indulged himself so immoderately in
the use of intoxicating drinks as to discredit his christian pro
fefsion and impair his health and usefulnefs.

Submit Gay testified that she spent 3 weeks at Bro Thralls
last winter, that she saw him drink no distilled spirit, but that
he drank cider freely, that she took pains to notice how many
times the mug was fiUed on a certain day which was 6 or 8 tiraes,
that there was no company on that day, that his appearance was
very different raorning and eve*'. In the morning when he rose
was exceedingly feeble and said he could not talk. But after
some time, he would becom talkative and loud and exceedingly
troublesome. She has no doubt that it was the effect of cider
She took particular notice, and thinks she could not be mistaken.
Mifs Polly Johnson testified that she lived at Capt Thralls
several mouths a year or raore since [86] She saw Capt Thrall
drink no distilled spirit & does not know that there was any in
the house except as she saw a tumbler one day that had had some
in it. He drank cider some times and when this was the case he
was very troublesome and noisy. When he did not drink cider
he was very pleasant. She was knowing to his having drinked
cider on the day of preparatory lecture in Dec. 1835 and that he
was the worse for it.
Bro. Hillyer testified that he had seen Bro Thrall when he
carried the appearance of intoxication. Saw him one even last
winter and thot something was the matter, was at his house %.
of an hour. Mr Owen aud Mrs Clark were present, told Mr.
Owen after we left the house that something was the matter and
was afraid it was excefsive drinking. Saw hira drink cider that
eve^. Bro Robbins testified that Bro Thrall knew his views upon this
subject. He had often talked with him and told him what he
thot [87] Bro Cornish testified that he had bin at Bro. T.
several times within a year or two past when he appeared to be
under the influence of stimulating drink.
The charge of neglecting family duties Bro Thrall admitted to
be true.
The charge of delinquency in attending public worship he ad
mitted so far as the fact of absence from the house of God is
concerned, but plead that there was no delinquency on the ground
that ill health prevented his attendance.
The fourth charge, is in the following terms, I complain that
he has been guilty of falsifying or making statements at variance
with truth (See page 100) To this charge he pleaded not
guilty. The ground of this charge was stated by the complainant to be
i" That Bro ThraU had told him he had drinked no spirit since
August of 1835, when uncle Moses mowed for him. Bro Thrall
denied having said this and as Bro Clark had no testimony to
substantiate [88] this but his own recollection it was decided that
it could not be sustained.

90
The second ground upon which the charge of falsifying was
rested was that Capt Thrall had said he had drunk no ardent
spirit since June of last year. This Bro Thrall affirmed to be
true. Whereupon Gaylord Thrall was called upon who testified
that last September Capt Thrall stopped at his house as he came
from pigeoning on the plain and said to me. Come let us have
some Whipporwill. I went and got some brandy and Mr Jefse
and he drank. Are you certain it was last Sept ? "lam."
Bro. Clark here adduced the testimony of William Andrus
taken in the presence of Bro Cornish. But as Bro Thrall had
not been notified of the time and place of taking the testimony
it was decided that it was not admifsible unlefs Bro Thrall would
waive his objiction, on that score. He said if he had been noti
fied he should not have gone, and if the testimony was now set
aside with a view to his being present and crofs [89] examining
witnefs, he should not go to see him that he was a worthlefs
fellow, that he turned him out of his employment because he
would get drunk that he could not keep him away from Spirit.
It was decided upon this declaration of Bro Thrall to hear the
testimony. Chh now Adjourned to Thursday May 11,2. oclk P. M.
Attest. D. Hemenway, Past.
The testimony of William Andruss should have been inserted
previous to the notice of adjournment, and is to this effect That
he had seen Capt Thrall drink spirit frequeutly during the season
of harvesting last year that he had himself drinked from the same
bottle and that he had poured it into a glafs for him to drink.
Attest D Hemenway Past.
1837 May II. Church met this day according to adjournment.
After prayer pastor read the record of evidence given at the last
meeting, Bro. Thrall not present.
Bro Clark stated the result of his enquiries as it respects the
character of William Andros.
[90] He had seen several individuals who have known him
well for the last two or three years and who agree in saying they
have not known or heard of his being intemperate and that he is
a youug man of veracity. Doct Hamlin and the Pastor of the
chh stated the same as the result of some inquiries they had made.
Bros Skinner and Judd and Hillyer exprefsed their views to the
same effect from knowledge they had obtained.
Bro Clark introduced Doct Brown as a witnefs who gave it as
his opinion that the symptoms of intemperance are as decisive
and as little liable to be mistaken as those of any disease and that
the ill health of Capt Thrall was the consequence of intemperate
drinking, th he might enjoy good health if he would abstain
entirely from all drinks that produce intoxication. Doct Hamlin
concurred in this opinion.

91

was put upon the several specifications under the first general
charge and also upon the fourth charge. "Are these charges

the subject. May wisdom & grace be multiplied unto you.

June 15, 1845 at a regular meeting of this Chh. notified by
the pastor after divine service, the following communication was
read. "East Granby June 10, 1845
"Dear Brethren, After a long, painful Sz; as I hope prayerful con
sideration of my relations to you as a minister of the New Testa
ment Sz; Pastor of this Chh. &. [134] Congregation, I have at
lengtii been compelled to believe, that it is a duty I owe to the
Chli. of Christ, to this Chh. Sz; Society, my family & myself,
to send to your hands a resignation of my Pastoral Office.
The reasons for this decision are mainly the following; viz.
I. The lamentable indifference that has been, Sz; still is, mani
fested by a large part of this community to the maintenance of
the institutions of the gospel.
From what I have seen 81 known, I am persuaded that the
offerings made to the Altars of God, are not free-will offerings.

I03
Consequent upon this indifference there is not only a present
want of liberal support, but the prospect for a future mainten
ance of these institutions, is less hopeful than it otherwise would
be. [135] It is irapossible to labor without some reasonable pros
pect of success.
2. The great want of moral courage Sz; energetic action in
useful Sz; christian enterprise, the standard of morality is most
emphatically low among us, so that it has become a proverb,
"There can no good thing come out of Nazareth," Sz; the people
love to have it so.
You need a man, who, by the grace of God shall be enabled to
raise this standard, the present pastor has failed to do it in any
satisfactory manner, & can see no sign of an improvement under
present circumstances.
3. The want of spiritual union Sz; sympathy among many of
the members of the chh. Sz; also the want of any one cord that
binds the parish togather. There are too many [136] separate
Sz. confiicting interests. You need a minister who shall be able
to unite you into one blessed brotherhood, the present pastor
cannot do it.
4. The state of my health during the summer months obliges
me to be absent from my charge the hottest of the season, such
an absence is deleterious to you 8l and attended with much expense
& sacrifice to myself Sz; family. You need a Pastor who can re
main with you in the summer as well as winter.
Understanding thus the characteristics of the people of this
Parish Sz; my own relations to you I cannot conceal the conviction
that a man of more experience, of different [137] constitution &
temperament would be more useful among you as a pastor.
For these reasons I respectfully request you to unite with me
in calling a Council to advise in the premises.
To consider the question. Whether under existing circum
stances, this connection, that has existed so harmoniously from its
formation, ought not in Justice to both parties, to be sundered.
Yours in the Gospel. J. B. Clarke.
A true copy. J. B. Clarke.
At the solicitation of a committee, chosen to confer with the
Pastor on the subject under consideration, this paper was with
drawn, and the following one was sent in June 23.
[138] East Granby June 23* 1845
Brethren, After a deliberation and most serious consideration of
my relations to you as a Minister of the N. Test: and Pastor,
I am compelled to believe, that it is a duty I owe to the Church
of Christ, This Church Sz; Society to communicate to you, a
resignation of my Pastoral office.

I04
Having made the Character of this people my study, in order
to meet their wants; and failing to remove what I consider to be
the perminent obstacles, to a healthy and perminent advance of
an enlightened and Bible Christianity, and with but a limited
prospect of doing this,
I cannot conceal the conviction that a man of more experience
Sz; different temperament, would be better adapted, to secure a
more vigorous action, in giving a proper tone [139] to your
morals St piety, than the present incumbent.
The state of ray health obliging me to be absent during a large
part of the summer, strengthens the position, I have thus assumed.
Therefore, I respectfuUy request you to unite with me in calling
a council to advise in the premises.
To consider the Question
Whether under existing circumstances, the connection, that
has existed up to this time, from its formation harmoniously,
ought not, in Justice to both parties, to be sundered.
Yours in the Gospel J. B. Clarke.

Council organized by choosing Dr Tyler Moderator Sz; Br
Washburn Scribe.
[146] Prayer was offered by the Moderator.
Rev. J. B. Clark presented a letter to the Council, which he
had previously presented to the Church &. Society of which he is
pastor, setting forth reasons which induced him to believe that
his pastoral relation to them ought to be dissolved Sz; requesting
the Church Sz; Society to unite with him in calling an Ecc' Coun
cil to consider the question, ' ' Whether under existing circum
stances tlie connection now subsisting between the Pastor 8l
Church in this place ought not to be sundered."
The vote of the Church, Sz; vote of the Society, complying with
the reque.st of their Pastor, were presented to the Council.
The Pastor Sl the Cora, of the Church 8l Society informed the
Council that it was their understanding Sl expectation that if the
Council should decide the question submitted to them in the
affirmative, that then the Council [147] should dissolve the pas
toral connection subsisting between them.
Mr. Clark Sz; the Com. of the Church Sl Society made full ver
bal statements in relation to the reasons assigned in favor of Mr.
Clark's dismission.
The Council were by themselves Sl after mature Sz; prayerful
deliberation came to the following Result.
The Council do not attach importance enough to the reasons
assigned by Mr. Clark, disconnected with his own feelings, to
justify them in dissolving his pastoral connection. They believe
that ordinary trials Sz; obstacles which alraost every where exist to
a greater or less extent forra no valid reason for sundering the
pastoral relation, Sl the Council moreover believe that had no
movement towards a dismission been made by Mr. Clark there
was a fair prospect of uninterupted harmony between hira Sz; this
people, Sl of his continued usefulness. We think Br. Clark has
erred in placing too low an estimate on the extent of his [148]
influence Sl usefulness here, & exceedingly regret that he was
induced to make any motion for a dismission.
But in view of conclusions to which his mind has been led, Sz;
the strong conviction expressed by hira that he ought to be dis
missed, the councU believe that the people would be unwilling to
urge his continuance, Sz; the prospect of his usefulness be greatly
diminished. He also believes, that a differant location would be
more favorable to his health, one not requiring so long an absense
from his people as he has thought indispensable while residing
here. The Council therefore very reluctantly, but unanimously have
voted that it is expedient that the pastoral relation between Rev.

io6
J. B. Clark Sz; this Church Sz; Society be, [149] Sl the same is
hereby dissolved, the dissolution to take effect from Sz; after the
first day of August next.
The Council do also hereby recommend Rev. J. B. Clark as a
faithful efficient, Sz; able minister of the Gospel of Christ, Sz; cor
dially recommend him to the Confidence & fellowship of the
Churches of our Lord Jesus Christ wherever God in his provi
dence shall direct his course.
The Council would also commend this Church Sz; Society to the
Great Head of the Church, praying that they may not be weary
in well doing, nor faint under difficulties Sz; discouragements
which may fall to their lot, that may soon be blessed with another
undershepard placed over them in the Lord Sz; that spiritualy
they may be like a city set on a [150] hill that cannot be hid.
And may grace mercy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be in
them Sz; abound Sz; in us all. evermore.

Oct. 25, 1850 At a Church raeeting this day held, Br. Abra
ham Tenant (concerning whora various ill reports of the nature
of trespass have for several weeks been in circulation) was present
and being questioned with regard to thera made the following
statements. " That some six weeks since being in want of a stick
of timber for building purposes, went with his boy on to his wood-
lot [168] on the plain to obtain one but not finding a suitable
tree returned upon land owned by Mr. Poraroy of Suffield and
there seeing a fit tree, cut it, and conveyed it to his horae with
the express intention of soon seeing Mr P. and settling with him
for it. He also stated (in harmony with the ill reports) that he
drew the top of said tree to a hollow at a distance and conveyed
the "butt stick" onto his own land a few rods distant, and
withal atterapted to conceal the stump with leaves and brush
wood. The motive assigned by Mr. Tenant for thus doing was a
concealment from enemies whom he feared would discover his
doings before he should have opportunity to see Mr. Poraroy.
Three weeks elapsed after he had taken the stick without having
seen Mr. P. (reason assigned was the pressure of other business)
when Mr. P. came to his house and charged him with trespass
&:c, he invited him in [169] and settled the matter with Mr.
Pomroy. He expressed the sentiment that he should never have
done as he did, had he known the trouble it has caused, also that
he intended no wrong in the matter but surely proposed to make
it right with Mr. P. Another reason offered by Mr. T. was
nearly as follows. ' ' Some three years since I cut a Chestnut
tree, nearly on the bounds between my land & Mr. Pomroy's
supposing it clearly mine, and carried the same horae with the
exception of the butt stick, and on going a day or two afterward
for said ' 'butt' ' found that Mr. P. had been and taken it claiming
it as his own. I have felt since that time wronged by Mr. P. and
took the liberty I have lately taken sooner on Mr. P.'s land than
I should on any other mans."
The brethren questioned him minutely and endeavored to as
certain aU the facts in the [170] case. Among the inquiries it
was asked. Did you (as has been reported) deny cutting said tree
on Mr. Pomroy's land, when Mr. P. first carae to your house
charging you with the same ? I did not. Several of my enemies
were present and I evaded their assertions by saying ' 'there are
other trees on the plain beside Mr. P.'s and other language to
that effect. I did not deny it." At this period the church wished

112
to be by themselves and Mr. Tennant left. It was then voted
after some remarks by the brethren present
That we are not prepared to justify Br. Tennants conduct but
desire further investigation.
Br. Oliver Hayden was then chosen to ascertain more in rela
tion to the matter and report at a future meeting
Attest P. F. Sanborn Pastor
[171] Nov. 15, 1850 At a church meeting regularly called
and this day held for business, it was announced by the pastor
that the first item of business would be a choice of Deacon to
supply the place of Deac Skinner who died 18 mos. since.
After prayer for the Divine Guidance and aid offered by Deac.
Cornish. A balloting was taken. The result of which was
nearly an equal division of votes for three of the brethren, when
it was thought best that a farther balloting be deferred four
weeks. The next business was the case of Br. Tennant. Br. Hayden
was called upon to report. He stated that he had called on Mr.
Pomroy and questioned him at length. Mr. P. said that Mr.
Tennant denied at first having cut the tree on his land (at the
time he, said Poraroy called on him) but after going into his
house confessed [172] it and settled with him for the damage.
An hour was now spent in conference discussing the matter in its
various bearings and ascertaining all the light on the subject, to
discover if possible the moral character of Br. T. taking the facts
in the case and his interpretation of his conduct into consideration
and also to learn the duty of the church towards him.
The church were not satisfied with his doings and voted to
choose two of their number as a Coraraittee to visit Br. Tennant
and confer with him on his wrong doing, and if possible convict
him of his sin and lead him to repentance for the same. Brethren
J. Cornish Sz; O. Hayden were appointed that committee. Meet
ing adjourned to Friday [173] evening Nov. 29 to hear the report
of their committee. Attest P. F. Sanborne Pastor
Nov. 29 Church met as adjourned. The committee on the
case of Br. Tenant reported, and stated that Br. T. acknowledged
that he had done wrong and they had the impression he felt dif
ferently on the subject and was ready to seek the forgiveness of
the Church. Br. Tenant being present, the meeting took a social
turn. Various questions were put by the church to him which
he answered (touching the evil of his transactions) and many
things were said in a kind spirit showing the heinousness of his
sin in the eyes of wicked men as well as in the sight of God. Br.
Tenant while he confessed that he had done wrong, still main
tained that it was unintentional. He desired the church to for

To the Congregational Church of Christ and members of the
Ecclesiastical Society, Turkey Hills
Brethren and friends
Your Pastor respectfuUy [180] and affectionately re
quests you to unite with him in calling a Council to advise in the
circumstances and if thought best dissolve the ministerial relation
existing between us, and he makes this request for the following
reasons. I. The salary which you have been accustomed to give (and
which has ever been promptly paid) he now finds by the in-

"5
creased prices of the materials of living to be inadequate to a just
and liberal support. With the practice of a close economy it
poorly carries his family through the year without leaving any
provisions for the future. Your Pastor deems it but justice to
himself in the morning of life to lay by a little in store against
the time of sickness and old age. "With his present support it is
impossible to do this and moreover he is unable to furnish his
library with such books and periodicals as are indispensable for
the demands made upon him in the preaching of the day.
II. He is fully persuaded that a change of [i8i] field would
add to his usefulness as a servant of Christ, and consequently his
personal happiness. He has lived pleasantly and harmoniously
in this field now more than seven years but be believes the time
has come that his labors will be more serviceable in some other
part of the Lord's vineyard.
III. God in his Providence has opened to him a new field
which he is disposed to enter, should a Council so advice.
Christian friends — These are my reasons for the above request.
You have hitherto dealt faithfully and kindly with me and mine
and it is painful on many accounts to ask leave to break the cords
that bind us to you. "We have no personal complaints towards
any of this church and parish. My prayers and labors for your
spiritual good hitherto, are known to you, and here after you will
have my prayers and best wishes for your happiness in this life,
and your final [182] blessedness individually in that life which is
to come. Hoping that you will acquiesce in this request I am
yours In gospel bonds Pliny F. Sanborne
East Granby Jan'y 22, 1853.
Feb. 2. At a meeting of the church regularly appointed and
this day held to consider the coraraunication from the Pastor,
after much consultation, it was voted to accede to the pastor's
request and to act in the matter Brs. Joel Clark, Oliver Hayden
Sz; V. H. Griswold were appointed as a Committee.
Feb. 8. In pursuance of letters missive from the Cong'l
church of Christ in East Granby an Ecclesiastical Council met at

Council was called to order by Bro. Page.
Bro. Page was chosen moderator.
Bro. Richards Scribe.
Council was opened with prayer by Moderator.
Communications from Rev. P. F. Sanborne to the church and
to the society, requesting their concurrence with him in calling
this council to consider the propriety of dissolving the ministerial

ii6
connection subsisting between them Sz; statements representing
their concurrence were presented.
Explanations were heard from the Pastor, from the church Sz;
from the society.
The council having long and carefully considered the various
statements made, it was unanimously
Resolved, that the Pastoral relation now existing between Rev.
P. F. Sanborne [184] and the church and Society of E. Granby
be and hereby is dissolved. While announcing this result the
council would say, that they have come to such a decision with
exceeding reluctance. We sympathize truly and deeply with
this people in their attachment to their Pastor and their earnest
desire to retain him among thera. As ministers and brethren we
are grateful to them for the lovely Christian temper manifested
by thera with reference to the proposed removal of a minister so
much beloved. But though we could have wished to retain him
with them, we have felt compelled by a sense of duty to accede to
his request and dissolve the existing connection. We gladly
record the testimony of their Pastor to the kindness with whicli
they have ever treated him and their testimony to his faithfulness
and efficiency as a minister of Christ among them. We do earn
estly pray that the Great Head of the church who [185] has
watched over them heretofore, will still guide and support them,
give them a good and faithful minister in place of him who is
now taken from them and strengthen them in all the work of the
gospel. To our brother in Christ we tender our warm regard, our sym
pathy in the pain of parting with a people whom he loves and by
whom he is beloved — we pray for his success in the field of his
future labors; and most cordially and affectionately commend him
as a Christian and a Gospel minister to all who love our Lord
Jesus Christ. Caleb F. Page Moderator

[193] Confession of Faith.
I. We believe that there is but one living and true God and
that he exists in three persons, Father Son and Holy Ghost, the
same in substance and equal in power and glory.
2. That God created and su.stains all things for his own holy
pleasure and honor and directs all events according to his own
benevolent and eternal purposes.
3. That the Sacred scriptures of the old and New Testaments
are the word of God, written under his infallible guidance and
constitute the only perfect rule of faith and practice.
4. That the first man was formed upright and holy but by
disobedience involved himself and his whole posterity in the
entire loss of the Divine image and the Divine favor.
[194] 5. That the Atonement made by Christ who was the
Son of God manifest in the flesh has opened a way for the res
toration and salvation of all men on the condition of repentance
toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
6. That genuine repentance and sincere faith and all right
affections proceed from the Holy Ghost who through the revealed
word and according to the Gracious pleasure of God renews the
heart in righteousness and true holiness.
7. That all who thus repent and believe being justified by
faith will be saved only on account of Christ the Mediator and
Redeemer and will continue in holiness and enjoy the blessedness
of heaven forever.
8. That Christ has instituted certain special ordinances as the
gospel ministry and the two sacraments of Baptism and the

119
Lord's supper which are to be observed by all his followers
according to the Divine appointraent.
[195] 9- That there is a life to come and that Christ will
come again and raise the dead, and that we must all appear be
fore his judgement seat and give an account of the deeds done in
the body.
ID. That at the last day those who lived and died without
repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ shall go away into
everlasting punishraent and the righteous shall be received to life
eternal. The Covenant.
We enter into a solemn covenant with Jehovah and this church.
To God our Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier we sacredly
devote ourselves and ours without reserve and forever. And we
solemnly engage as partakers of the sarae hope and joy to main
tain the discipline, [196] and observe the ordinances of Christ,
promising to seek always the peace and purity of this church
that all its members in holy love and harmony raay enjoy the
fellowship of the Lord Jesus, watching reproving exhorting and
comforting each other for mutual edification and looking for that
blessed hope; the glorious appearing of the Great God even our
Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might
redeem us from all iniquity and purify us unto himself a peculiar
people zealous of good works.
