But one hundred years ago, various denominational elements appeared to exist in the parts of Sturbridge, Charlton and Dudley which came together at this point. There were orthodox Con- gregational churches thoroughly established in all three of those towns, but when the early settlers of this community petitioned to be set off into a parish that they might, with less effort enjoy social, political and religious- privileges, four denominations came prominently to the front to dispute the right o...f sovereignty with the Congregationalist. As above hinted, there was no town of Southbr'idge one hundred years ago, but the territory now in- cluded in our populous town of ten thousand inhabitants' was then a part of Sturbridge, Charlton and Dudley. Where this church now stands was originally in Sturbridge; where the Can-, tral Baptist Church now is was a part of Charlton, and the region below the section known to us a& Fort Sumter, was Dudley. Many of the people in this region were compelled to go six and seven miles to attend church, hence their petition addressed on May 19, 1800, to the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, asking to be set off as a separate parish or precinct.
