Shared note

Rev Micah Lawrence, son of Jonathan of Lexington, entered Harvard College 1755, when in his seventeenth year; graduated in histwenty-first, 1759; was a short time engaged in teaching at Worcester,1760; and at the age of twenty-five, was ordained and settled as pastor of the Church of Christ in Winchester, NH, Nov 14 1764. TheRev. Joseph Ashley had preceeded him, as the first minister of the town. He was a graduate of Yale College, 1730, ordained and settled in 1736. The church, having been dispersed by an irruption made upon the settlement, was gathered anew, and re-organized at the steelement of Mr. Lawrence. The council convened for the purpose consisted of Rev. J. Ashley (moderator) and delegate fron Sunderland; Rev William Lawrence (who preached the sermon), and delegate from Lincoln, Rev Jonas Clark, with Deacon James Browne and Jonathan Lawrence, delegates from Lexington; Rev John Hubbard (scribe) and delegate from Northfield; and the Rev C. Sumner from Keene, NH. The articles of agreement were signed by Micah Lawrence, Josiah Willard and Phillip Goss. Rev Mr. Lawrence labored here for thirteen years, with a good measure of success. His style of writing was characterized by method,clearness, closeness and strength. In doctrine scriptural and sound in order and discipline careful and unyielding, his constant reference was to the law and the testimony. Highly conservative in spirit and loyal beyond most of that day, his political sentiments became the occasion of disafecction among a portion of the people; yet it was not until after a second or third council had acted upon the matter that a dismission was obtained, - the only ground of dissatisfaction being a suspicion that he was "unfriendly to the war." After 1777 hepreached in other place; and died in Keene, NH 1794, aged fifty-five years.
