Note for:   Caleb Blood,   18 Aug 1754 - 6 Mar 1814         Index

Individual Note:
     Caleb Blood was born just four years after the Baptist Church
building had been raised in Bellingham, and went all his growing up years
to that church. Hewas 13 when the Baptist Association was formed. It is
not too surprising, then, that he would turn toward the ministry of that
church. He was highly praised by the pastor when he told him he wanted to
be a preacher.

When he was licensed to preach, the pastor at his home parish wrote
this recommendation:
"The church of Christ in Charlton, in the Baptist constitutin, to
our sister churches in the same order. wishing you much grace, mercy, and
peace, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. These
are to signify to you that our brother, Caleb Blood, is in good standing
with us, and is a regular walker both in the world and in the church of
God, and he has manifested to us that he has a call to preach the gospel,
upon which we have taken the opportunity to examine him and inprove him
in the world of preaching and it does appear to us, that he had a fight
for the labor, and we recommend him unto you as such, desiring that you
may improve him among you in preaching and then give the same if you are
satisfied with him in the work. So we subscribe ourselves you brethen in
the land. (15 Dec 1777)"

Before ordination, Caleb was an itinerant preacher for two years at
Dudley and Marlow, NH. He was ordained at Marlow, NG in 1777. In 1779, he
served at Weston, MA, and in 1781he was at Newton, MA. That church was
newly organized, and he stayed seven years. He also taught school there,
for two years, in the town's south district.

In 1786, he accepted a call to Shaftsbury, VT. During his 26 years
at Shaftsbury, the tiny Baptist congregation grew dramatically. He also
belonged to the Baptist association, and did missionary work all through
VT, NH, and up into Canada.

In "The Rural Vermont Minister", andin an article in "The History of
Rutland County", by Harry P. Smith and Wm. S. Rann, 1886, he was
described this way:

"Soon after the settling commenced, ministers of the Gospel might be
seen traversing the woods and hunting up the scattered sheep in the
wilderness. They would ride on horseback or go on foot, as they might be
able, with no other epuipage than a bridle, saddle, and a pair of
saddlebags containing a Bible, Psalm book, and a spare shirt or two, or,
if on foot, with less baggage. Thus equipped, they would travel through
the woods, mud and snow, preaching at the doors of log houses, or in the
forest. Any where that was most convenient. And in some cases , they have
been overtaken in storms, lost their way and have lain out all night,
witness this in Elder Caleb Blood."

He went to serve the Fourth Baptist Church at Boston, in 1807. Three
years later, he and Sarah were on the road again, this time to Portland,
ME. After just four years, he took sick and died in 1814, at the age of
60.

Individual Note:
     Martha's parents were among the first to organize Bellingham and
the Baptistchurch there. The first meeting house was built in 1680, but
by 1684 the congregation had outgrown the building. On 1 Jan 1694, John
Thomson, Jr, Martha's father, bought the Mendon's "old Meeting House"
(had been the congregational Church) for four pounds in current money of
New England. That was back in Mendon. On 17 Nov 1719, the Thomsons and
several other families made a formalpetition that they lived too far
from the church and school to use them, soshould not have to pay taxes.
They proposed establishing the new town of Bellingham.
