Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the First Church in Huntington, Long Island, 1723-1779: Being the Record Kept by the Rev. Ebenezer Prime, the Pastor During Those Years, Containing Lists of Members of the Church, and of Baptisms and of Marriages, a Confession of Faith, Accounts of Trials of Members
There are some matters in this Record relating more to Mr. Prime personally than to the affairs of the Church, particularly his family record, which he saw fit to set forth at greater length than the records of the families of his parishioners. This is so quaintly worded and illustrates so well the. Character of the man and the habits and thoughts of the time, that it would be a loss to the interest of this volume to omit it.
It has been thought best to print everything as it occurs in this Record, changing the spelling, the punctuation and the use of capital letters only as may be necessary to give uniformity and conformity to the usage of that period.
