Early settlers often came from neighboring towns, particularly South Hadley, of which Granby was the Second, or East, Parish (organized 1762). In the late 19th and early 20th centuries more recent immigrants established a presence, particularly French-Canadians and Polish-Americans who moved from the industrial areas of Holyoke and Springfield.

Corbin Collection, comp. by Walter E. and Lottie S. Corbin, available from the New England Historic and Genealogical Society: Reel 7: Enfield, Florence, Goshen, Granby Churches and Religious History Congregational: The Second Parish of South Hadley was organized Oct. 3, 1762, and the Congregational Church in 1768. There are no church records extant before 1821; purportedly one departing minister took records with him, which have not been recovered. In 1821 the church divided into East and West Parishes; continuity was with the East Parish. The two were reunited in 1836. Original records were deposited in the town library: Church Records 1821-1858 "Records of the eastern religious society in Granby," 1825-1844 Parish Records 1845-1876 Parish Records 1877-1913 Baptists: A small Baptist meeting, an outgrowth of the Baptist church in Wilbraham (Hampden Co.), met in the 1790s before dissolving; check Baptist records for Wilbraham for Granby residents who may have attended one or both churches. Methodists: Methodists held meetings in Granby in the 19th century, but did not build a church. They sometimes used the old "West Parish" church building. Some or most attended church in Belchertown; see Ethel Alden Collis, Methodism in Belchertown and Enfield (1948). Catholics: Roman Catholics attended churches in neighboring towns until the 1920s, when Granby became a missionary post of the new Belchertown Catholic parish. The Immaculate Heart of Mary Church was built in 1949. A priest of a French parish in Holyoke had his summer estate in Granby, which he donated to friends in a monastic order; this became St. Hyacinth Seminary, still operating as a college. Cemeteries West Street Cemetery: Public cemetery located near the center of town. Still in use; earliest burials date back to 18th century. Partially recorded in the Walter E. Corbin Collection. North Street Cemetery: Town-maintained, no longer used for burials. Gravestones were indexed by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1938.

Joseph Kellogg (bapt. 1 Apr 1626, Great Leighs, Essex, England; d. btwn. 27 Jun 1707 and 4 Feb 1708, Hadley, MA). She was likely born in England and died 14 Sep 1666 in Hadley MA. There seem to be (at least) three theories circulating in books and in on-line ancestry charts regarding her maiden name: 1. Her surname has never been discovered. This information likely came from the book "The Kelloggs in the Old and New World" by Timothy Hopkins. 2. She was the daughter of Nathaniel Foote (1592-1664) and his first wife, Elizabeth Deming (1595-1683). The problem with this information is that Nathaniel died two years before Joanna, listed 7 children in his will, and Joanna was not one of them. 3. She was the daughter of Robert Foote. The problem with this information is that no birth/death/location information is given for Robert and none at all for his wife, so there is no way to track it any further for confirmation. A couple people have posted replies, but none (at least so far) has been able to cite any primary sources.

FROM: PatB on DATE-Mar 29, 2007 1:52:30 GMT-DATE MESSAGE: We had a good turnout for Carolyn's "Aprons Through the Ages" presentation at the CCGS meeting Tuesday. It was fun - and what a collection! It's amazing to see how many different kinds of aprons there are and how they've evolved over the years. I can remember my grandmother almost always having an apron on to protect her dress. Washing and ironing was a lot of work - still is - and the aprons were great protectors. FROM: Pat2 on DATE-Mar 26, 2007 15:45:40 GMT-DATE MESSAGE: Just checking to see if this posted correctly.
