First Congregational Church (New Milford, Conn.)

46 p. 23 cm

The original settlers of New Milford petitioned the General assembly for the "privilege of gospel" in 1711 and Daniel Boardman came in 1712 to minister to the spiritual needs of the people, but it wasn't until that 1716 Mr. Boardman was settled, or moved in officially. Originally scheduled for October, the date was postponed to the 21st of November in the house of John Read, which had served as a meeting house and town hall during the earliest years of the church. The Rev. Daniel Boardman was ordained and at the same time the church was legally organized with eight male and five female names.
