Book Description
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Opening of the Town-Hall in Springfield, March 24, 1828: Containing Sketches of the Early History of That Town, and Those in Its Vicinity, With an Appendix Our assembling this day, in this Hall, is a subject for mutual congratulation. That the town has, with so much unanimity and concord, undertaken and completed a building, so convenient for the transaction of public business, evinces in the inhabitants, a spirit of liberality and harmony, highly honorable to our society. This building, so ornamental to the place, has been completed, without accident and without contention. The occasion suggested a wish to have an historical account of the town. Such a history will, probably, be peculiarly interesting to the inhabitants; but it is also important to the community in general. This was the earliest settlement, in the western part of the state, and itself the parent of many others. It was a colony from the settlements about Massachusetts Bay, begun and carried on while those settlements were yet in infancy. It was an important post against the Indians; and being adjacent to Connecticut, and the only town bordering on that colony, it was long involved in great and violent disputes with that government. The means of compiling such an account are not over ample; but some care has been taken to collect what remains. Many facts now known, may soon be lost; many which might have been found half a century ago, are now irrecoverably gone. Very few traces of the ecclesiastical history of the town can be found. Several of those who were here at the first settlement, came from England, when the governor and company came over, in the year 1630. How many I am unable to ascertain. William Pynchon, Esq. who may properly be called the father of the town, was one of the patentees in the colony charter, named on the deed of 1627, and the charter of 1628.
