Notes:

NOTE 1./ Ordained in Keene 11 Jun 1761. Served until 30 April 1772. Clement Sumner was the first settled gospel minister of [Keene] (April 27, 1761). A committee was voted 12 pounds, lawful money of the Mass. Bay, for the trouble and charge in providing for the counsel at Mr Sumner's ordination; also five pounds for paying Mr Sumner for five weeks' preaching before his settlement. It was voted by the town this year that 'the Reverend Mr Sumners' salary be stated on commodities as they be now, and so from year to year. Commodities stated as they be now: Wheat at 3s 2 1/2 d sterling per bushel; pork at 3d per pound; beef at 2d per pound; Indian corn at 2s 2d per bushel; rye at 2s 6d per bushel; labour in the summer at 2s per day."

Forom this it appears that Mr Sumner had been called at a previous meeting in February and "His salary was fixed at thirty-five pounds sterling and his firewood, with an annual increase of one pound ten shillings sterling, until fifteen pounds should be added." (Annals, page 35) April 15, 1761, the town "Voted Ten Pounds Sterling Money of Great Brittain to be added to Mr Clement Sumners Sallary and the Whole Sallary to be stated on Commodities as they be now ..."

Thetford did not settle a minister until the summer of 1773, when a man by the name of Clement Sumner was installed their pastor. We know not the place of his nativity. He graduated at Yale College in 1758, settled in Keene, NH, June 11, 1761, and was dismissed, April 30, 1772. He remained in Thetford but little more than two years. He became a tory, left them without asking for a dismission, and went to Swanzey, NH, where he became a Universalist preacher, and continued in that persuasion until his death. He was the source of much trouble ot the town of Thetford. He took from them a fine right of land which fell to him by settlement, and divided the church and town. Wallace says, 'He was no more fit to preach than a fox is to make a gold watch.' We do not learn that there was ever any lack of fellowship between him and his Universalist brethren at Swanzey.

Notes:

NOTE 1./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1789

The year was 1789 and in the U.S. a young government was beginning to take shape. In its first nationwide election, the popular Revolutionary War general, George Washington, became the country's first president and was sworn in at the first capitol of the United States, Federal Hall in New York City.

In France, a rebellion was underway and with the storming of the Bastille prison, the French Revolution began. In its reporting on the subject, The Times of London, England had the following to say of the conflict:

The spirit of liberty which so long lay in a state of death, oppressed by the hand of power, received its first spark of returning animation, by the incautious and impolitic assistance afforded to America. The French soldier on his return from that emancipated continent, told a glorious tale to his countrymen--"That the arms of France had given freedome to thirteen United States, and planted the standard of liberty on the battlements of New York and Philadelphia." The idea of such a noble deed became a general object of admiration, the [facets?] of a similar state were eagerly longed for by all ranks of people, and the vox populi had this force of argument--"If France gave freedom to America, why should she not unchain the arbitrary fetters which bind her own people.

Later that year, the Marquis de Lafayette, with the advice of Thomas Jefferson who was at the time the American ambassador to France, drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. It was adopted by France's National Assembly in August and ratified by Louis XVI in October.

There was unrest in other parts of the world as well. Sweden and Russia were at war, and briefly, Norway had joined the conflict, although a peace treaty was signed in July 1789.

In a smaller, but well-known conflict, the mutiny on the H.M.S. Bounty was also in the year 1789. On April 28, part of the crew of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Captain William Bligh and eighteen crewmembers adrift. Bligh managed to get the boat some 3,600 miles to Timor. Some of the mutineers were captured and prosecuted--three were hanged, while others, including Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants live to this day.

In 1789, there was an epidemic of influenza in New England, New York, and Nova Scotia, which resulted in many deaths due to secondary cases of pneumonia. The new president was among those who fell ill. He caught a cold while visiting Boston, and later, was affected more seriously with influenza, which was dubbed Washington Influenza.
