fifth pastor was Rev. Samuel Hill, in 1740.   He was followed by Rev. Joseph Green in 1753.   In 1758 a new meeting-house was built on the site of the old one.   Rev. Thos. Brown, in 1759, succeeded, and was followed by Rev. William Shaw in 1763.   In 1798, the Baptist Religious Society of Marshfield was incorporated, and near this date a meeting-house was built in the west part of the town.   In 1850 the house was remodeled and enlarged.   Pastors filling the pulpit were Joseph Butterfield, Branabas Perkins, Thomas Conant, Benjamin Putnam, William H. Hall, and others following with short pastorates.   The present pastor in 1901 is Rev. Mr. Knobb.
   The Second Baptist Society in North Marshfield, near the village of Marshfield Hills, built their church in 1826.   Rev. S. Ripley was ordained as its first pastor, and was followed by numerous others, whose pastorates were short.   Rev. Jacob Davis, now living here in 1901, nearly 90 years of age, preached for five or six years, over a quarter of a century ago.   The pastorate is now filled by Rev. Thomas Goodwin, who has preached there for the past dozen or more years.
