CHRISTOPHER GORE (1758-1827) was a noted lawyer, Federalist, and diplomat. He graduated from Harvard College in 1776, and soon served as a clerk in the Continental Army. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention (1789) to ratify the Constitution, and trained young Daniel Webster in his law office. He was appointed by President Washington to be the first U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts (1789-1791), worked on the John Jay Treaty (1796-1803), and was elected Governor of Massachusetts (1809). Finally, Gore served as U. S. Senator from Massachusetts (1813-1816). ELIJAH PARISH (1762-1825) was, from 1787 to 1825, the pastor of ByField Parish Church. Elijah Parish was noted beyond the parish as a preacher, author, geographer and historian. During his ministry the Church survived an attempt by some unhappy parishioners to start a rival church. Also, during this period a choir and a Sunday School was established. A stove was installed in the meetinghouse. Ashes from the stove were stored under the pulpit, and in 1833, ashes, still hot, started a fire which destroyed the meetinghouse.
