- In 1865 bouwde Samuel S. Hamill een orgel voor de Congregational Church in Groveland, Massachusetts. Het instrument werd in 1908 verkocht aan de First Parish Community Church in West Newbury, Massachusetts. Hier werd het door John Brennan grenoveerd. Mogelijk is daarbij het Swell Organ toegevoegd, al is dit niet zeker.
- In 1991 is het orgel door de firma Taylor & Boody gerestaureerd en overgeplaatst naar Chatham. Het verving een orgel van de Möller Organ Company uit 1917. Van dit orgel is de Subbass 16' overgenomen en geplaatst op het pedaal. Het pedaal was tot die tijd aangehangen, en ook de omvang van het pedaal was slechts dertien toetsen.
