Shutesbury (Mass.)
Shutesbury, Franklin County, Massachusetts is located in the west-central part of the state near the Quabbin Reservoir.
Rev. Abraham Hill (1719-1788) graduated from Harvard in 1737, and as a Congregational minister settled, in 1742, as pastor in the town of Shutesbury (Roadtown), Mass. A Loyalist, he was eventually barred from the town pulpit, then dismissed in 1778. He moved to Oxford, Mass., refused to pay taxes as a layman, and won a lawsuit against Shutesbury for his back salary.
