The first settlement of this town was made in the year 1663, under the name of "Homonoscit (Ham-monassett) Plantation. This name was changed to Kenilworth, by a " Court of Election held at Hart-ford, in May, 1667." In October of the same year, ( 1667) a petition was forwarded to the "General Assembly," in session at Hartford, for permission to form a church, which was granted, as follows: "This Court, upon the petition of the inhabitants of Kenil-worth, doe hereby declare and give them theire approbation and encouragem't to gather themselves into church order, according to the order of the gospell." The petition was dated at " Kenelmeworth, October rrth, '67 ," and signed by "John Woodbridge, Edward Griswold, Will. Hayden, in the name and with the consent of the rest."

Rev. John Woodbridge, the first pastor, was settled m 1667, dismissed in 1679, and re -settled the same year in Wethersfield. He ranked "among the most excellent clergymen of Connecticut."

Rev. Jared Elliott, who was educated under Mr. Pierson, was by him, on his death-bed, recommended to the people as his successor, and a few months after was invited to settle among them.

Joseph Elliot, of Guilford, and grandson of Rev. John Elliot, of Roxbury, Mass., the noble "Indian Apostle." He was a man of diversified talents and rare attainments. Whilst he shone as a minister of the Gospel, he ac-quired celebrity as a physician, and a man of science, and as a promoter of agriculture, and other practical arts. During his ministry, viz: in January, r 7 38, the church in Killingworth (then North Killingworth,) was organized by fifty persons, members of this church, and who were dismissed for this purpose.

The church has been blessed with many precio us seasons of revival, for which let praise and than ks-giving forever be rendered to the gracious Lo rd an d Saviour, -nor less for the ordinary manifestations of His goodness from year to year and from age to age.

The original house of worship lasted to about the year 1731, when the seGond was erected. U pon this building a "new steeple was raised" June 1st, 1809. The present sanctuary was dedicated Feb. 8, 1837, and enlarged and rem ode lled in 1857.

Ingaged unto God and their Duty," was reaffirmed by the church at the settlement of each pastor up to that of the Rev. Hart Talcott, in 1817. In September of that year, (1817,) "the members voted to adopt a new draft of their confession of faith and Covenant," which, with a slight modification made March 17, 1843, is the same now in use, and which is as follows:

~didt~ of iaith.

( r.) We believe that there is one only living and true God, existing in three persons, Father, So n and Holy Ghost:

(z. We be!ieve)-That th e Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by the inspiratio n of God, and are a perfect rule of faith and practice:

. (3. We believe)-That God is the Sovereign Ru ler of th e Universe, and in the execution of His ete rnal purposes, he leaves the moral agency of man free:

(4. We believe)-That a ll mankind, since the fall, are by nature in a lost and ruined state, and can be saved only through th e atonement and righteousness of J es us Christ, by the en lightening an d sanct ifying influ ences of the Holy Spirit, lead in g them to repent -ance, and th e exercise of Gospel faith :

(5. W e believe)-That the r egenerate are justified by faith in Christ, and through grace, and according to Divine promise, will persev er e in hol in ess unto eter -nal li fe:

(6. W e believe)-Th at th ere will b e a resurrection of the dead, and a final judgment, and th a t the righteous wi ll be received into lif e eternal, and the wicked con-demned to eve rla sting punishment:

Articles of Faz'th. 9

( 7. We believe)-That Christ has instituted discipline in His church, and that each church has a right to discipline its own members:

(8. We believe)-That a due observance of the first day of th e week as a holy Sabbath, is binding on all mankind who live under the light of the Gospe l :

(9. We believe)-That the ordinanc~s of Christ's church are Baptism, and the Lord's Supper,-and that Baptism is to be administered to none but believers and their households; and as a church we believe sprinkling to be a proper mode, leaving, however, the consciences of all free to act, making themse lves alone responsible for their choice on this subject:

We publicly and solemnly acknowledge Jehovah, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to be our God, our Redeemer, and our Sanctifier. We take the Word of God for ou ·r rule of faith and practice, promising, by the assistance of Divine grace, to lead a life of piety towards God, and of uprightness and of benevolence towards all mankind ;-to maintain private devotion, and (if the head of a family,) to maintain famil prayer ;-to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, to attend the public worship of God, and the ordinances of the church ;-to watch over each other with all Christian fidelity and brotherly kindness; to maintain the discipline of a Gospel church, to sup-port the Gospel ministry, and in all proper ways to promote the preaching of the doctrines, duties, and precepts of the Bible. Thus we solemn ly promise and covenant to live , depending on God for strength and grace to guide us into truth.
