115. AARON6, son of Benjamin (48) and Sarah (Everett) Fisher, was b. at Dedham, Jan. 16, 1758, and d. at Wendell, Mass., Oct. 10, 1843. He m. Rebecca, daughter of Israel and Abigail (Howe) Moore, of Bolton, Mass., who was b. in Lancaster, Nov. 15, 1758.
Aaron served in the Revolution, first, it is said, at the Lexington Alarm, in Capt. Asa Fairbanks' company, when only seventeen years old; was in Capt. Ebenezer Everett's company, William McIntosh's Regt., enlisting at Roxbury, June 8, 1778, aged 20 ; 5 ft. 8 in. in height ; hair reddish ; eyes grey ; husbandman, res. Dedham; enlisted for nine months from arrival at Fishkill, N.Y., where he arrived June 14, 1778, and was assigned to Capt. Brewer's company, Col. Carleton's Regt., and was in Col. Rufus Putnam's Regt., with rank of sergeant. As early as June, 1776, we find his name on the roll of Capt. Timothy Stow's company, Col. Ephraim Wheelock's Regt. of men stationed at Ticonderoga, with rank of sergeant, and serving five months. He was placed on the pension roll Oct. 28, 1818, but suspended by act of May 1, 1820; but under act of June 7, 1832, drew a pension from March 4, 1831, until his death. He moved to Wendell, Franklin county, Mass., at the close of the Revolution, where the house in which he subsequently resided for sixty years is standing and still occupied as a dwelling. His flint-lock musket, and wooden canteen, carried by him during the Revolution, are in the possession of his grandson, James E. Clark, of Athol Centre, Mass. On his canteen he carved his initials and the date, Oct. 18, 1778, while on duty at Fort Ticonderoga. He and his wife and eldest son, Aaron, Jr., were among the charter members of "The Baptist Church of Christ in Wendell," founded June 11, 1799. His wife d. in Wendell, Dec. 27, 1836, aged 78 years.

Extracted from "History of the Connecticut Valley in Massachusetts, Volume II," by Louis H. Everts, 1879.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
The origin of the Baptist Church in Wendell may be traced to June 11, 1799, when, at the request of the Baptist Church in Shutesbury, a council was convened at Wendell to advise with said church and sundry members thereof, who have manifested their desire of embodying into a church by themselves." After inquiry into "the circumstances of the brethren and friends in Wendell," it was voted without dissension that "this council view it expedient and promising to tend to the upbuilding of the cause of Christianity for the brethren and sisters in Wendell to embody themselves into a church by the name of 'The Baptist Church of Christ in Wendell.'" The names of those who formed the church were David Boynton, Foxwell Thomas, Aaron Fisher, Jonas Fisk, Ephraim Locke, Jason Phillips, Cornelius Moore, Jabez Sawyer. Aaron Fisher, Jr., and 17 women,-2h in all. Among the pastors who served the church after its organization may be noted Ezra Kendall, Samuel King. David Goddard, Aaron Burbank, Lysander Fay. William Leach. Norman Clark, John Hunt. Rev. H. S. Davis is now the pastor. The average number of attendants is about 80. The church held occasional public worship in school-houses and other places until 1819, when a meeting-house was erected about half a mile east of Wendell Centre, In 1845 the building was removed to the present site, and remodeled and improved as it now appears.
