Information
has glosseng: First Church in Windsor, Connecticut is the oldest Congregational church in Connecticut, tracing its beginnings to 1630 in Plymouth, England, where 140 men and women sailed on the Mary & John, the first of 17 ships of the so-called Winthrop Fleet bound for the colony of Massachusetts. Hearing from the Indians of the fertile land along the Connecticut River in what is now called the Connecticut River Valley, a small contingent of settlers headed southwest, establishing the first Connecticut town settlement at Windsor in 1633. Word soon spread that Windsor was a good place to settle, and in 1635 the First Church congregation ventured forth from their homes in Dorchester, Massachusetts to answer the beckoning call of a new life in Connecticut.
