Notes for Capt Ebenezer Mattoon, Sr: The East Parish.--Capt. Ebenezer Mattoon and other members of the first church were strongly opposed to the settlement of Mr. Parsons, and they obtained an advisory council from five churches west of the river, and this council met at Amherst, Oct. 1, 2 and 3, 1782, before and after Mr. Parsons was ordained, and gave their advice to the aggrieved members, who, on the 15th of October, 22 in number, agreed to organize a new church. Another council of ministers and delegates from five churches, viz., Southampton, Montague, Whately, Hatfield and Westhampton, (called by some Capt. Mattoon's council) met at Amherst Oct. 28 and 29, and again Nov. 11 and 12, and on the last day, judged that the offer of the other party, (Mr. Parsons and the church,) "was unequal and unjust;" and advised the aggrieved, if the others would not unite in a mutual council in four weeks, to proceed to organize, and to settle a minister. Warm contentions and unfriendly dispositions, which were lasting, grew out of this division. (+) Rev. Ichabod Draper, the first pastor of the second church, was from Dedham and was a graduate of (*) For a long time, the value of wood was only the expense of cutting it for the sled or cart and drawing it. For some years, a sled load of hard wood was only 2 shillings lawful; it gradually advanced to 2s. 6d. and 3s. The loads were examined by a committee. In Amherst and South Hadley, the price did not exceed 3s. down to the revolution. These old sled loads may have contained from two-thirds to three-fourths of a cord. Cart loads were less. ---"History of Hadley, MA" page 407 |
