About Somers, Connecticut
Somers is a town of 10,255 people in Tolland County, on the Massachusetts line. It began as the far eastern end of Enfield, and in 1689 Benjamin Jones became its first settler, spending summers on his land and winters back in Enfield. The first families to settle for good came in 1713: Robert Montgomery, Timothy Root, James Pease and Edward Kibbe brought their households, and they worshiped in Root's house on the mountain.
On March 15, 1727, the settlers organized a church and called the Rev. Samuel Allis as their pastor, and four years later they raised a meetinghouse. In 1734 Massachusetts made East Enfield a town and called it Somers, reportedly at Governor Belcher's request, to honor Lord Somers. The town passed to Connecticut in 1749, together with Enfield, Suffield and Woodstock.
“I have not known a wiser man.”
- Two ministers, one churchIn 1770 part of the congregation ordained Samuel Ely themselves after the ministers they asked refused. Ely's followers claimed the meetinghouse and parsonage lands, but the General Assembly ruled against them, and a council of ministers sent Ely away. The reunited town ordained Charles Backus in 1774, and he served until his death in 1803. His school of the prophets trained about 60 young ministers, and several went on to lead Hamilton, Williams, Amherst and Middlebury colleges.
- Levi Pease's stagesAfter the Revolution, Levi Pease, a blacksmith who had served in the war, started a stagecoach line out of Somers. By 1783 his coaches ran from Hartford all the way to Boston, and his routes later reached New York. Pease also won the first contract from the United States Post Office to carry the mail.
- Straw and palm-leaf bonnetsAround 1830 Ebenezer Clark opened a straw bonnet shop, said to be the first in Connecticut, and women and girls across the area braided and sewed for it. Another firm sent palm leaf to families all over Tolland County to weave into sheets. The sheets came back to Somers, where workers cut and stitched them into Shaker bonnets. Women throughout New England wore them, and large lots went by shipment to the South.
- The Somersville millsSpencer and Chaffee began making cloth on the Scantic River in 1835, at a crossroads with a sawmill and a gristmill. Holmes and Reynolds took charge in 1853 and kept making satinet through the Civil War. Rockwell Keeney and his sons bought the woolen mills in 1879, incorporated the Somersville Manufacturing Company in 1883 and built rows of worker housing from about 1885. The brick mill later burned, but the canal and many houses remain.
- Lucinda Pomeroy's petitionAround 1881, Lucinda Pomeroy, then eighty years old, went door to door and collected 200 signatures against the sale of liquor in Somers. The town took up her cause and voted the sale out.
