LIST OF FAlVnLIES. 231 Allin and Judge Joshua Bicknell as managers. An account of this lottery will be found under another chapter. It is a matter worthy of note that the three pastors of the Congregational Church from 1728 to 1816, a period of 88 years, were ordained for their work and installed over the Barrington Church as their first and only pastorates. Their whole service as Christian teachers was given to this people. They lived and died in Barrington and their graves are with us unto this day, as is also that of Rev. Shearjasbub Bourn Townsend, the grandson of the venerable Solomon Town- send. It is also of interest to state that two meeting-houses were erected during the same period, one in 1737 and the second in 18067. For further reference, see the chapter on Meeting Houses and Church services. Mr. Watson has left us in his own handwriting a list of the families in U. C.
