Old Milford Churches Fail To Reunite After 1737 Dispute
Efforts to merge Milford Connecticut two Congregational churches fail. The First Church voted for consolidation, while the Plymouth church refused. The quarrel traces to 1737 over Rev. Samuel Whittlesey’s settlement, leading to a 1741 split and past tensions including preachers arrest. Recent union offers came from the parent church.
