Capt. Isaac MARSH, of Stockbridge, Mass., in honor of whom the town was named, purchased the township of the Indians for £140 lawful money, and it was deeded to him July 29, 1789. The deed was signed by eighteen of the Indians, viz.: " 0 Joseph Shawguthguat, 0 Hendrick Aupaumat, 0 Jehosuhim Alokaim, 0 Peter Pohijhionurpjsut, + Joseph Luonahant, + John Pophmin, + Solomon Quargariahont, + Uhndrw Warmaeruph, + Vendru Waumurmn, + Hudrink Ichumhwmh, + Moses Laupumnsapeat, + Thomas Wind, + John Thonhpol, + David Nesowukausdahawauk, + Cornelius Jaumauch, + David Nesonuhkeah Grum, + Abraham Maurnmumthickhur, + Isaac Unamprey." The signatures were witnessed by David PIXLEY and John SARGENT.

      The surface of Marshfield is broken and hilly. The valley of the Winooski river divides it into two distinct divisions. That part embraced in this valley and west of it is mainly good tillage land, with a strong and productive soil. The eastern part is mountainous and rocky, and is largely used for pasturage, but has some good farms.

      The rocks that form the geological structure of this town are granite and calciferous mica schist. The former occupies about two-thirds of the territory, in the eastern part.

      Sugar maples are found in nearly all parts of the town, from which the farmers annually do a thriving business in making large quantities of maple sugar. E. S. PITKIN, Esq., furnished statistics of the amount made in the spring of 1868. One hundred and eighty sugar orchards produced 140,350 pounds, something over seventy tons. This amount is above the yearly average.

      The township is well watered. The Winooski river flows into it from Cabot and takes nearly a southern course entirely across the township. On this river are some good mill sites. Molly's brook, the outlet of Molly's pond, in the eastern part of Cabot, unites with the Winooski about a mile from the north line of Marshfield. Near the junction of these two streams, on this stream, are situated Molly's falls, where in the distance of thirty rods the water falls 18o feet by a series of beautiful cascades. In time of high water the roar of these falls can be heard several miles. The population of Marshfield is mainly engaged in farming, and these excellent water-powers are but little utilized.

      As related by Mrs. H. C. PITKIN, daughter of Gen. Parley DAVIS, and the widow of Stephen PITKIN, Jr., in Hemenway's Gazetteer, Capt. MARSH, the proprietor of the township, married for his second wife a young widow by the name of PITKIN, of East Hartford, Conn., and her four sons, Caleb, Martin, Joshua, and Stephen, and two of his daughters, were among the pioneers of his new township. Caleb came in the spring of 1790, as a surveyor with a company under Gen. WHITELAW, spent the two ensuing summers in surveying, and in each fall returned to Connecticut. Caleb, with his brother, Martin PITKIN, and Gideon SPENCER, came here and labored together, clearing land in the springs of 1792 and '93, but returned to East Hartford in the autumn of each year.

      In February of the ensuing winter, 1794, Caleb PITKIN, who had married Hannah, and Gideon SPENCER, who had married Polly, daughters of Capt. MARSH, and Aaron ELMER, also a married man, made the first permanent settlement in this town. They came with teams from Connecticut as far as Montpelier. The snow was then more than four feet deep, and there was no road to Marshfield. From Montpelier to Marshfield they drew their goods on hand sleds. The ensuing summer this colony was increased by the arrival of Ebenezer DODGE and his family.

      The first child born in town was John Preston Davis DODGE, son of Ebenezer DODGE, who was born September 7, 1794. The second was James PITKIN, son of Caleb, born in January, 1795. Betsey, daughter of Gideon SPENCER, was the first female child born in town. She became the wife of Dea. Dan STORRS.

      During the first season not one of the settlers owned a team; and all the grain to make bread for their families was carried to Montpelier to be ground, and brought home on their backs. March 1, 1795, Joshua and Stephen, and their cousin Nathaniel PITKIN, and Solomon GILMAN moved into Marshfield.

      Nathaniel DODGE came at so early a date that he also was obliged to move into town with a hand sled, and Stephen RICH was an early pioneer. Martin PITKIN settled here previous to the organization of the town. Other prominent and worthy men were Simeon DWINELL and his four brothers, Squire, Zenas, and Aaron Bullock, John PIKE, Daniel BEMIS, and Caleb PUTNAM. The latter was the first blacksmith here. These were resolute and energetic men who had the courage to face the hardships, and the perseverance to build up a town, erect school-houses and churches, and surround themselves with all the comforts of thrifty and well-to-do farmers.

      Joshua PITKIN was appointed August 23, 1799, and was the first justice of the peace in town. John Knox was the first person who died in town, date not known. The first town meeting was held in pursuance with the following order, or warning, --

“On application of a number of credible freeholders of the town of Marsh field, county of Caledonia and State of Vermont, that said town may be organized, according to law, I hereby warn all freeholders, and other inhabitants of said town, qualified to vote in Town-meeting, to appear at the dwelling house of Joshua PITKIN, in said town, on the tenth day of March next, at ten o'clock forenoon on said day. 1st, To choose a moderator to govern said meeting. 2d, To choose all officers that the law requires for organized towns to have. " JOSHUA PITKIN, justice Peace. " Marshfield, February 24th, 1800." " March 10th, 1800.      "This day a Town-meeting agreeable to the above Notification was held, and 1st, Chose Stephen RICH, Moderator; 2ond, Chose Stephen RICH, Town Clerk; Joshua PITKIN, Clerk pro tem.; 3rd, Stephen RICH, 1st Selectman ; 4th, Stephen PITKIN, 2nd Selectman ; 5th, Samuel PATERSON, 3rd Selectman ; 6th, Cabel PITKIN, Town Treasurer; 7th, Stephen RICH, Nathaniel PITKIN, and Robert WAUGH, Listers ; Gideon SPENCER, Constable and Collector; Samuel WILSON, Grand juryman; 8th, Aaron ELMER, Ebenezer DODGE, Jun., Joseph WELLS, Surveyors of roads ; 9th, David BENJAMIN, Ehenezer WELLS, Nathaniel PITKIN, Fence Viewers; 10th, Robert WAUGH, Pound Keeper; 11th, Giles SKINNER, Sealer of Leather; 12th, Caleb PITKIN, Sealer of Weights and Measures ; 13th, Giles SKINNER, Tythingman ; 14th, Ehenezer DODGE and Aaron ELMER, Haywards ; 15th, Josiah PITKIN, Caleb PITKIN, and Joseph PAGE, Auditors of Accounts of Selectmen; 16th, All of the above names chosen into the several offices, have taken solemn oath for the faithful discharge of their trust. This meeting adjourned until the 24th day of this month, by order of the Selectmen."

      The adjourned meeting was held on the 24th 0f March, 1800. Then they proceeded to qualify the voters, by administering to them the necessary freeman's oath, next ratified by vote the proceedings of the previous meeting and appointed grand and petit jurymen. The influx into this town had been so rapid that at this meeting sixty-one took the freeman's oath.

      It is quite probable that the single school in the town was supported by its patrons, until January 7, 1800, when, at a meeting of the inhabitants (called a town meeting), Joshua PITKIN, moderator, and Stephen RICH, district clerk, "voted to support the school on the grand list." At the town meeting of March 25, 1801, this district was divided, and the old school-house was sold to Aaron ELMER, the highest bidder, for two and one-half bushels of wheat, on six months' credit; table to Joshua PITKIN for two bushels and two quarts, and chair for three pecks and four quarts of wheat; and Nathaniel DODGE had seventy-five nails for one peck of wheat.

      At the early organization of several of the school districts, and before the inhabitants could build school-houses, the children were taught in barns or dwelling houses. Four winters the school in the Dwinell district was taught in Simeon DWINELL's kitchen, which at the same time was occupied by Mrs. DWINELL and her eight children.

      The first marriage ceremony in Marshfield was performed by David WING, Esq., of Montpelier, in March, 1797. The parties most interested were Thomas MCLOUD, of Montpelier, and Sally DODGE, of Marshfield.

      A town meeting was called February 11, 1803, to Organize a Congregational society and settle a minister. The proposition was rejected by the significant vote of only seventeen in favor and seventy against it.

      Marshfield was first represented in the state legislature in 1804, by Stephen PITKIN. Joshua PITKIN "hung out" the first tavern sign in 1805, and for many years thereafter kept a tavern.

      Daniel WILSON came from Alstead, N. H., in 1821, and built and operated the first mill for carding wool and dressing cloth. Alfred PITKIN, son of Joshua, was the first merchant, about 1818. The first saw-mill was built on Lye brook in 1802, by judge Stephen PITKIN. In 1812 he built another in the village, and in 1818 he built the first grist-mill. The first physician in town was Dr. BATES, who came in 1826, but remained only a few months.

      The first church (Congregational) in Marshfield was organized December 24, 1800, by Rev. James HOBART, of Berlin.

      In 1880 Marshfield had a population of 1,102. In 1888 the town had ten school districts and eleven schools, which were taught by one male and twenty-two female teachers, at a weekly salary of $8.10 for the male and an average weekly salary of $5.52 for the female teachers. The whole number of scholars who attended school some part of the year was 241, eleven of whom attended private schools. The entire income for all school purposes was $1,582.03. The amount paid teachers, including board, was $1,318.95. The whole amount paid for school purposes was $1,537.62. Ozias C. PITKIN was superintendent.

      Marshfield, like other towns in this county, was "inhabited" by deer, bears, and wolves, when the pioneer settlers took possession, and it was no uncommon event to kill a bear or deer. Joshua PITKIN records in his journal the killing of eight.

      Mrs. PITKIN, in Miss Hemenway's Gazetteer, gives an account of one of the "mighty hunters" of Marshfield as follows: "One season early in September the bears began to make depredations in the corn on the Skinner place, now William MARTIN's. Solomon GILMAN, one of the early settlers, who was a great sportsman, promised to watch for the bear, and put an end to his green corn suppers. He took his stand at night in the field, waiting the arrival of the depredator. The bear came on, and was soon helping himself, when, with true aim, the hunter fired. The bear gave one great spring, and came directly on, and over him. He felt that his time had come. The blood was flowing. He caught the larcerated intestines in his hands, replaced them as well as he could in that moment of desperation, wrapped the long skirt of his overcoat about his body, held it firmly with both hands; had just strength enough left to shout for help, and to run only a short distance. Help soon came. They assisted him to a place of safety, and carefully folded back his overcoat, a double handful of bruin's entrails fell to the ground! Mr. GILMAN lived long to be a terror to, the denizens of the forest, but it was years before he heard the last of being killed by a bear."

      Marshfield grist mill, Frank S. PAGE, proprietor, is located on the Winooski river in the village of Marshfield. Mr. PAGE does custom grinding, and deals in grain, flour, and feed.
