Daniel Shattack and Chloe Crittenden,
Many of the above names were obliterated and consequently there will be mistakes.
These marriages were all performed by the Rev. Charles Mosher during his pastorate from 1816 to 1819.
There seems to be no record of marriages during the incumbency of pastors Brace and Strong.
It is exceedingly desirable, in this, our centennial year, that as much of our town's past history as possible may be preserved.
An original Town Historical Society with a paid Secretary, would be the proper thing, to insure thorough work and permanency, with preservation of records.
We thus close the hasty glance of our early religious history, and cannot but admire the sturdy manhood, and strict Integrity tenacity of purpose, and conscientious devotion to religious principles, of the noble men and women, who founded and left unto us so rich a heritage.
It would be befitting as we take leave of the century, to erect a suitable monument to their memory, so that in the generations to come, it may be said that we were not "degenerate sons of Noble ancestry." and we enter upon another century, may we be stimulated to higher and nobler endeavors, ever sustaining the right and condemning the wrong, reaching out to a pure and ennobling citizenship.
