These records reside in the vault of the Vermont Historical Society, 60 Washington St., Barre, Vermont. They document proceedings of the church from 1786-1835, covering the period of the ministries of Nathaniel Lambert, Luther Jewett and Clark Perry. In addition to the church proceedings, a list of church members, with death dates of many, is included. Also, baptisms and marriages, as well as a separate list of deaths is included. The following is an incomplete transcription of records from the above source. The purpose was to capture all of the baptismal, marriage and death information that appeared, as well as church admissions, dismissions, and familial relationships. Those desiring more detailed information about other aspects of the church (for example, interactions with other nearby churches, appointment of ministers, church rules, admonishment of members, including excommunications, etc.) may wish to view the original document at the VHS in Barre. The folder containing the records is supplemented by a complete every-name index. For the most part, spelling as it appears in the records is faithful to the original, and names are spelled as they were written. For a brief period, Dea. William Burroughs was the clerk entering information into the record, and spelling generally became quite unusual. Those entries appear, to the best of the transcriber’s ability, as they were written. Throughout this transcription, however, punctuation has been added for clarity. p. 8 Samuel Hadley was admitted as a member of this Church April 3, 1791.
