THIS Catalogue of the THIRD, SOUTH, or OLD SOUTH CHURCH, has been prepared in compliance with a vote of the church, and for the use, primarily, of those who now con- stitute the membership. It has been compiled from what stand as the original lists ; but there is reason to believe that the record of admissions during the first few years, perhaps during the first pastorate, is a transcript from a still earlier record not now in existence, by whom made, or when, we are unable to say. These lists have been closely followed in the first part of the work, in the order of time, in the spelling of the names, and in the new names of female members acquired by marriage. In the second part, which consists of alphabetical lists, the modern method of spelling has been generally adopted. In both these parts, lists are given of those who "owned the covenant," as well as of those who joined in full com- munion.
In the third part, an attempt has been made to give some information, in the form of biographical notes, of the earlier members of the church ; the direct references we have felt obliged to limit to those who joined during

the first fifty years, but incidental mention is made of many of the descendants of the founders and first members, who came into the church after 1719, and special pains have been taken to illustrate the relations sustained by families and by successive generations of families to the church. In the preparation of these notes, free use has-been made of Dr. Wisner's Historical Discourses, of Savage's Genea- logical Dictionary of New England, of Drake's History of Boston, of Shurtleff's Topographical Description of Bos- ton, of Sibley's Graduates of Harvard University, of Holland's Genealogy of the Dawes Family, and of the Memorial History of Boston, edited by Mr. Justin Winsor of Cambridge. But the chief source from which the in- formation here presented has been drawn, is the Diary of Samuel Sewall, published by the Massachusetts Historical Society, and edited by a learned committee of its mem- bers. Samuel Sewall, who has been called the Samuel Pepys of New England, but whom we would rather com- pare with John Evelyn, thought no incident which con- cerned the Third or South Church in Boston, to which he belonged, or any of its members however humble or obscure, too trivial to be entered in his journals. We are indebted to him for an insight into the character and aims of the men and women who preceded us in the fellowship of this church two hundred years ago, and for an ac- quaintance with the details of their religious life and experiences, such as are enjoyed by few historic churches, and which enable us to endow with personality, and almost with life, much of what otherwise would have been a dull and dry list of names.

PREFACE.
Judge Sewall has much to say about a neighborhood prayer meeting to which he gave his warm personal sympathy, and which he attended with as much regularity as was possible, during the entire period of his Christian life. It was established by his father-in-law, John Hull, and other members of the South Church; and it seems to have been for a time the only regular week-day service in the town except the Thursday Lecture. Frequent reference to this meeting will be found in the later pages of this volume ; the following account of it, during the first year of its existence, will serve to introduce it to the reader, and to bring into prominent notice several of the members who participated in its privileges.

Went to the 19th meeting at B[rother] Williams, where G[oodman ] Needham and my Father spake to Ps. 119. 11."
It is hoped that the personal history of the membership may be brought down to the close of the eighteenth cen- tury, at no distant day ; but it is very doubtful whether materials exist for as full a record for the years immediately succeeding the death of Judge Sewall, as during the time covered by his diary. During the revolutionary period, the character of the members and their relation to pub- lic affairs will find ample illustration in the lives of Oxenbridge Thacher, James Otis, Thomas Cushing, John Scollay, Thomas and William Dawes, Robert Treat Paine, and Samuel Adams.
By the courtesy of Messrs. James R. Osgood & Co. we are enabled to reproduce in this volume, from the Memorial History of Boston, the autograph signatures of most of the founders of the church. The heliotype of the Rev. Thomas Thacher's "essay for "accommodation " between the First and Third churches in 1670, and of the signa- tures of the women who were obliged to appeal to an Ecclesiastical Council in 1674, before they could transfer their membership regularly to the Third Church, are copied from the original documents on file among the archives of the latter church.

" The name of but one Ruling Elder is mentioned in the Records of the Old Som! Church; but this does not prove that there were not others, as the Records .... very imperfectly kept at first. The choice of Deacons was not always recorded ; : , riention is made of any election until November, 1685. The names of Samuel ('s. Kley and Bartholomew Green do not appear in the list compiled by the Rev. Dr. Wisner. We find the date of Mr. Green's election in Judge Sewall's Diary. Eles to a tredition that Samuel Adams, Senior, was a Deacon, but the evidence at hand is not sufficient to justify the insertion of his name in this list.
