This book delves into the history of the First Church in Rockingham, Vermont, a town granted by Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire between 1749 and 1764 as part of 129 townships west of and near the Connecticut River. The formation of towns by families from the east side of the river in turn led to the establishment of churches and the development of unique religious practices in the area. The study draws on town and proprietor records, tracing the evolution of the Rockingham church from its inception in 1753 to the early 1800s. It explores the arrival of the first minister and the gradual formation of a congregation, offering insights into the role of the church in shaping the social and spiritual life of the community. The narrative is enriched by details of baptisms, marriages, and deaths, providing a glimpse into the personal journeys of Rockingham's early settlers. Through this meticulous account, the book sheds light on the intersection of religious beliefs, frontier living, and the formation of communities in 18th-century New England.
