records. Further, the marriages here, arranged by church,
actually date from 1730-1802. Note that the introduction
identifies the churches that existed in 1751, along with

Records at the beginning
of the book include the Confession of Faith and

for un-Christian acts, baptisms, admissions, and
dismissals. News items, such as the 1871 death of a past
minister, sometimes appear. The end of the book provides
lists of members at time of baptism, marriage and/or
death; along with a chronological listing of church
admissions and dismissals--perhaps extracted from
earlier pages in the book. Two censuses identify church
members of 1860-1873 and circa 1879-1897, with dates of
church admission ranging from 1813-1897. Dates of death
(ranging from 1861-1898), sometimes with age or place of
death, and new places of residence, also, often appear
in the censuses. Note that 1885 membership consisted of
20 males and 44 females.
