September 15, 1744 .- A parish meeting was held and it was agreed that Timothy Stedham, Philip Vandever

and Henry Colesburg should have the church-ground re- surveyed, because one Samuel Millener will go over the line and said that he would stand to it: which survey was made, and it was found to be as he had said.
Also it was agreed that two pews on each side of the church in front of the choir should be inade, and the price of them be the same, as the foremost pews are noted in the church book.
Also the following were elected vestrymen; Philip Vandever, Lucas Stedham, Christopher Springer, Charles Springer: Hans Smith, Morton Justice, Mounce Justice: and to be Church-wardens, Justa Justice and Peter Smith.
September 28, 1744. - Cornelius Didrickson announced that he wanted to buy one pew-place on the men's side and one on the women's side; and it was consented that he should have a place in the new pew next to the narrow aisle on the men's side, and one place in the second pew on the women's side, for which he paid 5£ 10 shillings.
Hans Smith and Peter Smith paid on the same day 2f. ro shillings for their pew -rooms, which money was handed to Peter Smith and is now full paid for that which stood against thein.
At the same time it was consented to, that as Bruner Seneke intended to remove to another country and had sold his and his wife's pew-rooms to his brother John Seneke for 2f. 16 shillings this should be inserted in the records, that the said John Seneke and his wife should on this condition possess and occupy the said pew-rooms for themselves and their heirs that they may not sell them to any one who does not belong to the Swedish congregation.
Also that Lucas Stedham and Timothy Stedhanı
39I
HOLY TRINITY (OLD SWEDES) CHURCH
should procure a release from John Stalcop, concerning the priest-ground.
As more pews were needed and there was sufficient room for them in front of the choir, Justa Justice and John Smith were instructed to build three pews on the men's and three on the women's side, having each for himself and his wife a pew-room, for the labor, at the price which the best pews sold, and at the reckoning they paid to the church 15s each for a pew room. The following persons were re-elected to Church Council: Philip Vandevoir, Lucas Stedham, Christopher Springer, Charles Springer, Hans Smith, Morton Justis, Mounce Justis.
On the 12th of May, oi Ascension Day, 1745, a gen- eral parish meeting was held wlien all unanimously agreed to transfer the lands and lots of the church to two men to do and act as they thought most proper, both in selling or letting out land on ground rent, but that they neither should sell nor let out more land than to the King's road, which goes from Thomas Millener's to Hans Peterson's, and the money for which the lots were sold should be set out on interest and therefrom should the priest be supported and the church repaired. These two so-elected men should also give their bond and ob- ligation to the congregation, which shows in what meas- ure they possessed such a right and authority to the same land, and to be therefor responsible when the con- gregation thinks it just to hold them to account. The vote fell on Timothy Stedham and Henry Colesberg; they afterwards were given full authority and proper writings, and gave their bonds, which are kept safe in the church-chest, until others will succeed them.
Be it known that Mary Springer, the wife of Johannes

Springer, has of pure love to God and good affection to the church, bestowed a burial-pall for the use of Christina Church, which gift is so much the more re- garded inasmuch as the church had at that time none fit to use
