The congregations were not then permitted to choose their own seats in the meeting-house, nor to become permanent proprietors of any particular accommodation in it. A committee was chosen from time to time, to assign seats to the worshippers, “according to estate and age.” This assignment of seats was called “seating the meeting-house.” The Indians being entitled to all the privileges of the other inhabitants in regard to public
worship, were consulted as to their choice of seats, and were finally appointed to sit on either side of the front door against the walls of the house, the men on one side and the women on the other. The committee chosen to seat the meeting-house, Thomas Drury, Zerubbable Eager and Phineas Rice, reported as follows;--
“The pews—the right hand of the east door, to the Widow Willard and her son Simeon Willard.
The second, Ensign Eagers
The third, Joseph Merriam
The fourth to Captain Barrett (Benjamin1)
The fifth to Captain Hall
The sixth to Richard Taylor
At the left hand of the west door, Charles Brigham
The second, Left. Drury
The third, John Serman
The fourth, Phineus Rice
