Summary
The practice of renting pews was common in 18th and 19th century churches; members paid a fee for the right to occupy a particular pew every week. This bound manuscript is a record of people who rented pews at Christ Church and St. Peter's Church from 1787 to 1815. Entries are listed by pew number, with occupants' names, number of seats, dates occupied, and notes about the location of the pew and home addresses of the occupants. Christ Church pew holders are listed from the front of the book, and St. Peter's pew holders are listed from page 21.
