Summary

"Account of the Box-money, being collection for the Poor that belong to the Congregation, on Sundays, during Divine Service: from the beginning of the year 1800, til the beginning of May 1806." Entries are listed by month, with each Sunday's total pounds, shillings and dollars added into a monthly sum. Often an explanation is provided for low sums collected, usually bad weather and subsequent low attendance. Expenditures are listed by year and include cords of firewood for the sickly during winter, and cash gifts to individuals such as detained sailors, widows, and disabled parishioners.
