"52. Deacon Cummings Pease,4 (Isaac,3 John,2 Robert1) youngest son of Deacon Isaac and Mindwell (Osborn) Pease, … was born at Enfield, November 16, 1715; … settled in Enfield. His farm was on Fresh Water Brook, about two and a half miles east of what is now Thompsonville. He became a subject of hopeful piety when about 30 years of age, and after a long and painful struggle in his mind about a practical duty in making a profession, he yielded to his conviction of Scriptural teaching, and, notwithstanding he stood alone in his views, was immersed upon the profession of his faith. This was the beginning of a Baptist church in the east part of Enfield, of which he was a Deacon. This church continued until broken up by the movement of the Shakers in that part of the town. He died in East Longmeadow, 1808, aged 94."
