COPY OF THE RECORD OF DEATHIS OF THE FIRST CHURCH IN ROWLEY, MASS.
COMMUNICATED BY GEO. B. BLODGETTE, A. M. -
So far as known no record of deaths was kept by the church until the decease of the Rev. Samuel Phillips, second minister, in 1696. This record was then begun by the Rev. Edward Payson, fourth minister, and con- tinued by him and his successor the Rev. Jedidiah Jewett to the time of Mr. Jewett's death, 1774.
"A copy of the First Book of Burialls and Deaths of the town of Rowley" was printed in Vol. V of the Hrs- TORICAL COLLECTIONS. It covered a period from the set- tlement of the town, 1639, to 1750. The names there printed are omitted here, except where there is some additional description which will aid genealogical research. Mr. Payson's record often gives the date one day later than the town record.
