Content

Ledger with the minutes from the monthly business meeting of the church. The ledger is indexed for names and includes notations as to the standing of the members. There are also members who are African American. The minutes deal mostly with church decisions on members caught doing such activities as fighting or dancing, which are causes for exclusion from the church. The minute book has a copy of the 1827 charter for the church, but the actual minutes start in 1855.
