Barnstable County incorporated in 1685, description of the county
Barnstable is the county town of Barnstable county, and is a port of entry. It was incorporated September 3d, 1639. There is no particular account to be found of the first settlement of this town. Probably there was none made much before its incorporation, as but two persons are named in the original grant. "The Indian name of the place appears to have been Mattacheese, Mattacheest, or Mattacheeset,. The church at Scituate being in a broken condition, the Rev. John Lothrop of that place removed with part of the church to Barnstable, in October, 1639, the same year the town was granted by the Old Colony. It appears from the records which have been preserved, that all the south side of the town was amicably purchased of Wianno, and several other sachems, about 1650. Three is reason to believe that all the north part was likewise purchased of the natives, although no record of it now remains.
The Rev. John Lothrop was the first minister in this town, as has been stated; his successor was the Rev. Thomas Walley, who was ordained in 1663 . . .
It has been stated "the West Barnstable church is the first independent Congregational church of that name in the world." It was organized in 1616, in England, principally through the instrumentality of Rev. Henry Jacob, who was chosen and constituted its first pastor.

However, on the authority of Uncle Thomas Bedster of Northwest Township, who is one of the oldest men and earliest settlers now living in the county, it seems that a man named Samuel Wilson was killed in Orangeville Township on the farm now owned by William C. Shirley at a very early time.
