RECORD
OF THE
PARISH LIST OF DEATHS.
1785-1819.
BY REV. WILLIAM BENTLEY, D. D., PASTOR OF THE EAST CHURCH, SALEM.
[FROM THE HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE ESSEX INSTITUTE ]
SALEM: PRINTED FOR THE ESSEX INSTITUTE. 1882.

INTRODUCTION.
THIS Parish List of Deaths, recorded by Rev. William Bentley during his ministry in Salem, has been prepared and edited by Mr. Ira J. Patch, of Salem, the well-known genealogist.
Mr. Bentley was an eminent scholar, a zealous antiqua- rian, a revered and honored minister, and indefatigably industrious in collecting and recording anything relating to his studies, his pursuits, his parish and his life. He was born in Boston, June 22, 1759 ; a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1777, and from which he received the honor- ary degree of D.D., in 1819, ordained over the East church and society in Salem, 1783. Died Dec. 29, 1819.
His great collection of manuscripts have, since his death, been deposited by his executor, in the archives of the American Antiquarian Society.
The printing of them, or a selection of them, carefully edited, would be a valuable contribution to our historical literature.
