Abiel Abbot, Late Pastor of the First Church of Coventry The Committee, appointed by the last General Association to inquire into the proceedings of the Consociation of Tolland County on the 16th of April," 1811, "relative to the existing differences between the Rev. Abbiel Abbot and the church in the first society in Coventry; and also into the proceedings of the council, which met on the same subject on the 5th day of June" the same year, "and to report a statement of said proceedings to the next General Association" respectfully submit the following: 1. for the purpose of laying before the General Association the most correct view of the whole subject, the committee apprehend, that a brief recurrence to facts of the last century will be necessary. By these the General Association will perceive, whether the Tolland Consociation was regularly formed, and whether the first church in Coventry is a member of that body. The county of Tolland was formed in 1785. The churches in that county had been consociated with Hartford North, with Windham, and with Hartford South, According to their respective locations. The first church in Coventry had been member of the Consociation in Windham county. This is proved by the oral testimony of witnesses now living, and of the first repectability. The proof is confirmed by written documents which seem indisputable. About the year 1760, difficulties existed between members of the first church in Coventry, and the Rev. Oliver Noble, their pastor. The following extarct from the records of Windham Association affords evidence, satisfactory it is believed, that, for the settlement of those difficulties, the church proceeded, and wad considered and treated, as a member of Consociation. "At an Association of the ministers of the county of Windham, at Windham, first parish, Amy 21, 1760; "The Association being requested to advice. Whether it be expedient, that the Consociation of the county should be called together to consider and judge of some matters of grievance alleged by a member of the first church and society in Coventry against their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Noble: do accordingly advise, that, as Mr. Noble is providentially absent at present, the western committee be desired to meet, at some convenient time and place, and hear Mr. Noble and the agrieved in reference to the expedience of calling said Consociation, and in pursuance thereof give their advice."
