How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Pilgrim Unitarian Church

Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Bristol County was published 15 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The first Sunday-school at Long Plain was held in the summer of 1822. Susan, wile of Dr. Rounsevel Spooner, a member of the Unitarian Church, and Allathea, daughter of Nicholas Davis, a Friend, called the children together in a school-house which stood just at the back of the carriage-sheds in the Friends' yard, where they taught them the old Westminster Catechism and Scripture texts and furnished them with tracts. It was held again the following summer, but was not continued longer on account of the sneers of parents and their disrelish of the innovation.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Bristol County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
