Summary

Includes marriages of Christ Church and Saint Peter's. Of note is the 1779 marriage of Benedict Arnold. The church registers document all the baptisms, marriages and burials at Christ Church from 1709 to 1976. They also document the same for Saint Peter's and Saint James's churches during affiliated years. The series houses some private registers, which were those maintained by individual rectors Archibald Cummings, William White and John Waller Jones. The private registers are not inclusive. The series is rounded out with an undated index to the registers and a book of communicants. Entries, depending on the event, include the name of the individual(s), sponsors or parents, presiding minister, date and church affiliation.
