A seat for the negros was built in 1775. Aaron Jordan Booge, a native of what is now Avon and a graduate of Yale in 1774, after preaching for a time on probation accepted a call to settle, and on November 27, 1776, was ordained and settled over the church, with a settlement of ;!^2oo and a salary of ^50, to be increased after four years to jQdo. Seventeen tavern keepers were ap- pointed for the day of ordination ; and, if tradition may be accepted, the evening of that day was the occasion of th...e most brilliant ball ever held in the community. The plan of church discipline, based on the " Saybrook Platform," the confession of faith and the covenant were entered on the records. At this time there were fourteen men, including one negro, who died later in the Continental Army, and twenty-three women who were members of the church in full communion. There were also half way covenant, or non-communion members who together with baptised per- sons were considered as being under the watch and discipline of the church.
