Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Catalogue of the First Church in Hartford: 1633-1885 A considerable number of names of persons known to have been members at different periods in the recordless period, could indeed be gathered by the antiquarian investigator from family genealogies and the archives of other churches. Such for example are undoubtedly Susanna wife of Mr. Hooker, the first Pastor; and Agnes wife of Governor John Webster; and Susanna wife of Treasurer Whiting; and Elizabeth, wife of Rev. Teacher Stone, dismissed to this Church from Boston, July 25, 1641; and Rev. Samuel Stone, jr., son of Teacher Stone, by a former wife; and Mrs. George Fenwick popularly known as Lady Fenwick of Saybrook, uniting With this Church as the nearest place of communion, and others of either sex, both of the first generation and of their posterity. But the gathering together of any considerable number of names by this kind of antiquarian enquiry not only involves so much labor, but must result after all in so imperfect success, that the adoption of the course taken in these pages appeared the only reasonably practicable one.
