Book Description
Excerpt from Records of the First Church of Rockingham, Vermont: From Its Organization, October 27, 1773, to September 25, 1839 Rockingham, in Windham County, Vermont, is one of 129 townships west of and near the Connecticut River which were granted by Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire, between 1749 and 1764, and were known as the "New Hampshire Grants." The unfortunate controversy between New York and New Hampshire as to their jurisdiction over these townships has been fully treated by able historians and need not be discussed here. Whatever the merits of the controversy, New Hampshire was first on the field, and as a result the towns granted by Governor Wentworth were settled by families of the same names and lineage and from the same neighborhood as the towns on the east side of the river. The grantees came mainly from the frontier towns of Worcester County, Massachusetts, and were re-enforced somewhat later by settlers coming from towns in the Valley of the Connecticut, lying further south, which in their turn had been settled chiefly by emigrants from Massachusetts. The charter of Rockingham bears date Dec.28, 1752, and granted a territory of six miles square in 74 equal shares, 69 to inhabitants of "New Hampshire and his Majesty's other Governments," two to Governor Wentworth, and one each for "the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in foreign Parts," for the first Settled Minister of the Gospel in said Town," and for "a Glebe for the Ministry of the Church of England." Among the names of the 69 grantees are many familiar in the early history of Lunenburg, Mass., such as Bellows, Willard, Wetherbe, Gardner, Farnsworth, Hastings and others. The first meeting of proprietors was called March 28, 1753, by Col. Benjamin Bellows of Walpole, himself a former resident of Lunenburg, who was chosen moderator, and as clerk kept the proprietors' records for many years. A second meeting of proprietors was held at the house of Mr. Jonathan Bigelow, May 29, 1754, but little progress was made in the settlement of the town until the close of the French and Indian War. A meeting of proprietors was held at the house of Mr. Michael Lovell, July 17, 1760, and in the following year the township was laid out and divided by lot among the original grantees or persons who had purchased or otherwise acquired their rights. In 1765, "Michael Lovell and Benjamin Bellows, Jr., two of the principal proprietors, declared that there were twenty-five families settled in town, and further that they had made sufficient improvements to fulfil the conditions of the charter."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
