Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series contains the church's membership records, which are largely composed of relations. Relations are written accounts of individuals' religious experience, often required in the process of applying for full membership. Many of the relations in this series are written in the congregants' own handwriting. The relations also includes related membership records, such as letters of transfer to and from other churches, requests for baptism, and confessions of sins written in order to return to the good graces of the church. In addition to relations, this series contains marriage intentions, which were recorded by the town clerk prior to marriage, membership requests, letters of dismission, disciplinary records, including testimony, and membership certificates to various religious societies.
