Papers, 1726-1832, bulk: 1726-1779.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28897531

Papers kept by Rev. Nathan Stone, pastor of the First Church (Congregational) of Southborough, Mass., including texts of sermons preached from 1728-79; a memorandum book containing historical facts and entries on current events; and correspondence. The correspondence includes letters from his father Rev. Nathaniel Stone and local ministers and church members regarding controversies over pastors and doctrine. Because Stone served on local church councils, his advice was often requested in such matters and the papers also include proceedings of council meetings, in particular the controversy over the ministry of Rev. Ebenezer Morse of the Church of the Second Precinct in Shrewsbury, Mass. (later the First Church of Boylston). The collection also includes copies of letters to Israel Loring from his son John and Margaret Procter, forwarded to Stone. Additional correspondents include Ebenezer Parkman, Edward Goddard, and Ezra Stiles.
