Excerpt from Historical Address and Appendix
The vote of July, 1686, acquiring land for the site of a Meeting House is in words looking to a building to be, rather than one already built, but not conclusively so. The vote to tax the whole town 5056 to build the Bridge, and the vote to release the people East of the fading Place from paying rates to Mr. Whiting, all imply a church building already erected, or such progress toward it as assured its speedy com pletion. In the vote as to paying rates it is significant that the release was conditioned to take effect from October next, and the vote to lay out forty acres by November next is likewise significant and imply that then, if not before, the Meeting House would be ready for the minister to be called.
