I am looking for information on Nathaniel MARSH, who helped found the first church in Brookfield. There is a Marsh family genealogy that tracks descendants of the Marshes out of Hartford Conn. Apparently my Nathaniel is a different branch. His daughter was Nancy Marsh who married John Landon who settled at Eaton. I found this reference on line about Brookfield, ,"The first church was organized in 1804, by Rev. Nathaniel Marsh; his son Samuel Marsh, kept the first store on the hill, southeast of N. Brookfield in 1796. He was subsequently elected County Judge. He was unsuccessful in business, became deeply involved, and was imprisoned for debt in Whitestown Jail, where he committed suicide by cutting his throat. Joseph Clark, after whom Clarkville was named, was the first postmaster, and held the office for thirty-one years; he was justice of the peace twenty years and supervisor 10 years. I don't know if he stayed in Eaton area or went west to Tennessee. Thank you all....Ted Landon
