Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Granite Monthly, Vol. 24: January, 1898 Many of the descendants of these people have risen to places of eminence. Among them were four governors, one signer of the Declaration of Independence, several distinguished officers in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, including Generals Stark, Reid, Miller, and McNeil; a president of Bowdoin college, several members of congress, and a number of distinguished clergymen. While a few English settled here, they never made much impression on the life and thought of the town, because the Scotch-Irish were in an overwhelming majority. Consequently, the austere theology and noble traditions of the Kirk of Scotland formed the religious opinions of the town at an early date. The church has been Presbyterian ever since. These sturdy old cavaliers fled from the mother-country for the same reason that brought the Pilgrim Fathers here:- "To worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience." The land originally granted to the Puritans of Massachusetts fell into the hands of these interior of Church. hardy sons of the north, by purchase, and as soon as they settled, we find that they took steps to erect a church. It was intended at first to build on the tract of land now known as "Old Meetin´-house hill," on the back river road, near Sebbin´s lake, and hard by the old graveyard.
