Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Opening of the Town-Hall in Springfield, March 24, 1828: Containing Sketches of the Early History of That Town, and Those in Its Vicinity, With an Appendix
The means of compiling such an account are not over ample; but some care has been taken to collect what remains. Many facts now known, may soon be lost; many which might have been found hall'a century ago, are now irrecoverably gone. Very few traces of the ecclesiastical history of the town can be found.
Several of those who were here at the first settlement, came from England, when the governor and company came over, in the year 1630. How many 1 am unable to ascertain.
