Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Discourse Commemorative of the Centennial Anniversary: Of the Congregational Church, Plymouth, N. H
A picture must have suitable background to bring out the proper effect of its colors and shades, and the scenes thus briefly suggested are the background on which we must project the Plymouth settle ment, if we would understand the motives that inspired it, or the training of the early settlers for their work. Doubtless they had been awaiting their opportunity for ten years, and passed through the anxieties and the hardships of the French war with this among the plans which cheered them. And in that war, several of the Plymouth men bore active part. David Hobart, Josiah Brown, Joseph Blanchard, Samuel Cummings, David and Abel Webster, J ohn Willoughby, and perhaps others were in the service, and took part in the battles around Ticonderoga, and in Canada.
