It appears that the 'Thompson' family of Mendon Massachusetts did this. The Thompsons of Mendon lived quite a ways from the town church, which was the epicenter of towns back then. On November 17, 1719, they made a formal complaint (to the Mendon town leaders) that they lived too far from the Congregational Church and the school to utilize their services, yet were required to pay taxes to support them. As a solution, they proposed establishing a new town called 'Bellingham'. I've listed my reference below. Hope this is what you were looking for. jdmorningreport
