a partner of Captain Andrews. No better
opportunity may arise than the present to
consider for a moment his activities in the
the parish. He was born in the city of New
Haven in 1898. To all appearance he was
the first resident physician in the parish. He
married Mabel. daughter of Thomas Mans
field diving east end Mansfield BRIDGE In
1860. Shortly after he bought of Greshom
Barns "Two acres and dwelling house,
bounded north on the country road, east on
highway and Sabbath Day house lots, south
Thomas Carson (non-residenO and west on
Thomas Mansfield" If the writer Is correct,
this locates him on or near the present Cowles
corner. He woo something of a trader In real
estate and frequent transfers are standing
in his name. Among other purchases was
farm of forty acres, with dwellings on the
west side, East river, below the bridge, on
which was ia landing and shipyard." DR..
Trumbull cites him as being a member of
his church in 1760, and the First Ecclesias-
teal society made him q school committee
man in 1763-7-8, and also put him on COM
mittee for the proposed incorporation of the
parish as q town In 1885.
He became q charter member of the New
Haven Medical society in 1854, but Of his
/ proficiency In his practice We know abso'
| lutely nothing. The impression prevails,
however. he did not achieve great distino
| ton in 1t.
Medicine and theology as e1pounded in the
persons of DR.. Monsoon and DR.. Trumbull,
| for some reason by and by clashsd. The
| medical mans relations with the Congrega'
l tional church became somewhat stained an6
| finally broke. The fret intimation we have
l of this rupture occurs in st. Johns church
records as follows; "Narch 22d 1772 wal
baptized Jared the son of Walter Monson.
-Four children had preceded the latter, al
batized by DR.. Thankfully The same year
17S2-Dr. Monson's name also appears as
vestryman Of the Church Of England; boil
these acts stamp the transfer from Congre
gationalism to Episoopscy as complete, bu
no cause 10 anywhere assigned for the change
Besides his ssu~s IF srs mpsdcne Dr. Munsol

Oliver Blakeslee In 1772. He served exactl
! ten years in this branch of sacred worship
with such associates a. the two above name
together with Isaiah Blakeslee, Joseph Co

In 1852 DR.. Monsons name suddenly al
appears on the records and We wot not whit
became of him. DR.. Bronson alleges he wi

/. again soon after 1897, and that he died
1902. Jared Monson, his sun, was made at
