Built A. D. 1689. and which remained until A.D. 1758, and was one of the chief defences of the early settlers against the attacks of the savage Indians with pious affection and gratitude their descendants would hereby associate the sacrifices and sufferings of the fathers of the town in establishing our institutions, with those of their children in defending them.
