The town of Southbury was incorporated in 1787. It was a mere 50 years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock that the original 15 families were drawn to the promise of religious freedom in what was then known as Ancient Woodbury. Descendants of these families and subsequent individuals have called the town their home: community activists fighting the establishment of the German Bund; writers such as Gladys Tabor; celebrities such as Ed Sullivan and Victor Borge; artists, community leaders, educators, businesspeople, and ordinary folks. All have left indelible marks on the rich fabric of this beautiful New England community with the town seal "Unica Unaque," translated as "The One and Only."

Maturin Ballou was settled in Providence, Rhode Island as early as 1646, where he married Hannah Pike. Four of their six or seven children survived. Descendants are scattered throughout eastern United States.
"Filled with personal experiences and scriptural accounts, this book is incredibly thoughtful. Williams delves deeply into the question of Christian community and asks some tough questions. His answers to bringing about koinonia [spiritual community] are not easy, but are biblically sound. Never trite or simplistic, this book is likely to leave readers feeling validated, not judged. Williams seems to have a good grasp on how to make a community welcoming, supportive and Christ-like." -P. Hooper, US Review of Books

This book meets that need, including an overview of...
