Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Society or Parish of Turkey Hills: Now the Town of East Granby, Connecticut, 1737-1791
The section known as Simsbury north east corner, first settled about 1712, became later the ecclesiastical society or parish of Turkey Hills.
In 1725 the inhabitants of Simsbury took measures toward the erection of a new meeting house. The town being large and divided by a range of high hills and a river with its one large tributary stream, the meeting house could not be so placed as to accommodate all of the inhabitants, and the people were unable to agree upon its location. This was the begin ning of a controversy which was as long continued and bitter as only an ecclesiastical quarrel of former days could be. The final result after numerous votes and counter votes, decisions and re-decisions, and frequent appeals to the power of the General Assembly, was the division of the town into four socie ties by the following act passed at the October session of 1736.
