Hayride tour of Historic Sunderland (6563 words)
It wasn't until 1793 that Sunderland residents who worshipped in Leverett as anitpedo Baptists were provided at town meeting with relief from the obligation to pay taxes to support the Congregational Church.
In response, Sunderland farmers stopped furnishing "spirits" to their farm help during haying in the 1830's, unlike all the other farmers in the county.
It is important for a more complete picture of the work of Sunderland's farmers during this period to keep in mind that Williams was at the same time raising pigs and cows, cultivating onions, and in 1871 he was still raising broom corn, which by most accounts had virtually ended in the 1850's.
