Lanesboro, Mass
wilderness land situated on the Housatonic river, near to an Indian town
One of the first Berkshire communities to be settled, Lanesborough was originally known as New Framingham, carved from part of Northern Berkshire Township #6. Lanesborough was first settled in 1753 and was officially incorporated in 1765. It was renamed Lanesborough, for the Countess of Lanesborough, a friend of Governor Francis Bernard, who incorporated the town. The town grew with small industry in the early 19th century, most of which settled along the Town Brook. Berkshire Pleasure Park was a strong attraction at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. It was one of the trolley parks along what is now Route 8 on the eastern side of town.
The settlement was commenced about 1754 or 5, by Capt. Samuel Martin, a Mr. Brewer, and a Mr. Steales. A party of Indians, in the second French war, drove off these families, and Capt. Martin was the only one who returned. A fort for the protection of the settlement, was erected near where the house of Dea. Wolcott Hubbell now stands. On the approach of the Indians, the settlers fled to Pittsfield. A scout was sent after them from Massachusetts Fort. In following tracks which were found, two Indian chiefs were discovered, stooping down and tying on their moccasins. Each of the scouts selected one, and both chiefs were killed on the spot. The scout safely escaped to the fort, though closely pursued by the Indians. A party immediately set out from the fort in search of the bodies of the slain chiefs, who found them buried in their war costume.
Among the earliest settlers, after those which have been mentioned, were Nathaniel Williams, Samuel Tyrrell, John, Ephraim, Elijah and Miles Powel, (four brothers,) Lieut. Andrew Squier, James Loomis, and Ambrose Hall. They all settled here as early as 1759. William Bradley, James Goodrich, Thaddeus Curtis, Ebenezer Squier, Benjamin and Joseph Farnum, settled here not far from that time.
The soil is generally of an excellent quality, consisting principally of a clay loam; and the chief attention of the inhabitants is turned towards grazing. Little grain is raised, beside what is needed for home consumption.
The south branch of the Hoosic rises in the southeast corner of the town. The west branch of the Housatonic enters the town from New Ashford, passes by the centre of the town, and runs through the large pond, called Lanesborough pond, into Pittsfield. This pond is partly in the latter town. It abounds with fish, such as pickerel, perch, and trout, and affords at its outlet some very valuable mill-sites. The principal settlements are on a street which extends several miles along the eastern side of this branch of the Housatonic. Here are the three houses of worship belonging to the different religious denominations. The neighbouring meadows are remarkably luxuriant and beautiful, while the hills beyond them strike the eye with great pleasure. The scenery from various points of elevations is picturesque and delightful.
Some valuable beds of iron ore have been found here, from which considerable quantities of iron were formerly manufactured; though but little attention has been paid to them for some years.
There are several extensive quarries of valuable marble; some of which, in the western part of the town, were opened at an early period; others, near New Ashford, were opened 15 or 20 years ago. The principal are on the estates of Dea. Elijah Phelps, Abiel Platt, Bethuel Baker, and the Hon. Judge Savage, of New York. A large portion of the marble in the capitol at Albany, was transported from these quarries. Great quantities are now sent on the Western Canal into the interior of New York.
The Congregational church, consisting of 5 males and 3 females, was organized March 28, 1764, by Rev. Messrs. Samuel Hopkins, of Great Barrington, and Stephen West, of Stockbridge.

The Episcopal church in this town, called St. Luke's church, was initiated by the Rev. Samuel Andrews, of Wallingford, Con., Oct. 2, 1767, and the house of worship belonging to this denomination was erected in 1783. The rev. Gideon Bostwick, of Great Barrington, had the pastoral charge of the church, and preached to it occasionally from June 26, 1770, until his death, June 14, 1773.
The Rev. Daniel Burhans succeeded him immediately, and continued here until June, 1799, when he removed to Newtown, Con., where he still officiates.
The Baptist church was formed in 1818, with 12 members. About 34 have been since admitted. The number of members reported at the last meeting of the Baptist Association, was 35.
The Baptists have enjoyed the labours of Elder Augustus C. Beach, and of Elder Richmond Taggart.
Lawyer Calvin Hubbell, Jun.; native of this place; graduate of Williams College 1810; admitted to the bar in 1813.

a tract of wilderness land, situated on the Housatonic river,
near to an Indian town
|
Lanesboro Mass
We may imagine the first explorers
sent ahead to find the place of the
most ideal environment. Journeying
duwai'd in their seaxeli till coming
to this part of the state recently
opened to white Settlers by the
missionary work among the
Stockbridge Indians
Other families began to ascend the Housatonic valley
from Connecticut, (then called "DoAvn Country"),
especially from Stamford, Newtown, New Milford and
Salisbury; the Bradleys, Meades, Shermans, AlVoods
and Newtons being among the number. It is worth
noting that it was about the same time, 1761, that
quite a number of towns in the county were settled,
the fact probably being that about that time all
fear of tremble from hostile Indians was permanently
dissipated. That the neighboring population, however,
was not large is evidenced by the fact that the survey
of the tow^ described it as bounded on the south by an
Indian town and on the north, east, and west by
wilderness.
and before long the Episcopalian element began to grow restive and sidught to have services of their own. In October, 1767, the Rev. Samuel Andrews of Wallingford, Conn. , came to this town, then recently settled. He found a number of church families ill at ease in their religious surrondings and anxious for the services of their own communion.He held services in the house of William Bradley, and baptized a number of children.
1831
The early days of Mr. Shaw's ministry witnessed stirring scenes in both church and state. It was in, the time of the attempted nullification of Federal laws by South Carolina, the first beginning of acts which culminated in secession and consequent civil war; it witnessed the rise of the Oxford movement in the church; the publication of the famous Essays and Eeviews; the conflict of high church and low church, and broad church, and ritualistic parties; it witnessed the death of Bishop Griswold and the accession of Bishop Eastburn and the inauguration of more aggressive movements for church extension; it •witnessed the organization of domestic and foreign missions in the Episcopal church on a firm basis, and the abandonment of the old style lof confining the ministrations of the church to families brought up as church people, and half apologizing for presuming to do even this.
