Deacon Makes It Snappy Courtship in New England Gazetteer
A review of the 1839 New England Gazetteer notes curious items from Wynne to Gorham. It recalls Deacon Reynold Marvin courting Betty Leeved, claiming the Lord sent him to marry her, and her reply, “The Lord's will be done.” The piece also recounts frontier life, women defending Gorham during attacks, and a comical 1758 Wyndham tale of frogs in battle over dwindling pond water.
