as he expected.” And from 1794 to 1801 the Society annually voted him, usually £30 “in view of the high price of provisions the current year.” Mr. Elliot’s salary was $550: but from 1819 to his death $50 additional was annually voted to him except in 1826. Mr. Rood’s salary was $600, while Messrs. Porter and Greenwood had $700; Mr. Murdoch accepted the call of the Church and Society at a salary of $800, which, on his application, was gradually increased to $2,000. And in 1868 members of the Society presented him $1,750. This statement of facts shows that this Society has aimed to do well by its pastors, and that these pastors were men who were worthy of good treatment. These pastors were:— 1. Daniel Boardman—Graduated at Yale College, 1709, was ordained here November 21st, 1716, and died August, 25th, 1744. 2. Nathaniel Taylor was born in Danbury, August 27th, 1722; graduated at Yale College, in 1745; was ordained pastor here June 29th, 1748, and died here December 9th, 1800. He fitted many boys for College and married the daughter of his predecessor. 3. Stanley Griswold was born in Torringford, November 14th, 1763; graduated at Yale College, in 1786; was ordained pastor here June 20th, 1790; became a Unitarian, threw open the sacraments to all, and was censured by Consociation. He left town in 1802, and edited a political paper in New Hampshire. In 1805 he was appointed Secretary of Michigan Territory. In 1809 he was sent to the U. S. Senate, was afterwards Chief Judge of the N. W. Territory, and died at Shawneetown, Ill., August 25th, 1815, aged 52. This Church and Society united in forming the Litchfield South Consociation, on July 7th, 1752. But feeling aggrieved by the action of the Association and Consociation in relation to Mr. Griswold, the Society, September 1805, by a unanimous vote withdrew from said Consociation, for intermeddling in the private affairs of this Society and excommunicating the pastor unheard in his own defence. It stood unconsociated until the installation of Mr. Elliot, when dropping the half-way covenant, which was adopted here in 1769, it was received into the Fairfield Consociation, February 24th, 1808. It returned to Litchfield South Consociation, April 27th, 1836. 4. Andrew Elliot, son of Rev. Andrew Elliot, of Fairfield; graduated at Yale College, in 1790; was ordained pastor here February 24th, 1808, and labored most successfully until his death, May 9th, 1829. No pastor of this Church has exerted a more powerful and healthy influence upon the town than Mr. Elliot. The most extensive and genuine revival that ever blessed this community, was under his ministry.
