In 1830 the following vote was passed:
Whereas on account of the Church Plate belonging to the First Church in Roxbury, being very Ancient, much worn, and the form of the vessels not convenient (being chiefly Tankards), it was thought advisable to have it manufactured into Cups with covers, providing the expense of the same would not be an objection, and our Revd Pastor, Dr. Eliphalet Porter, was authorised by the Church to effect the same, if he, after ascertaining the expense, should think it advisable. On enquiry it was found the old plate would furnish a suffi- cient number of Cups with Covers, for the Communion Table, and have an overplus of old silver sufficient to pay all the expenses of the alteration. Mr. Jones of Boston was employed by our Revd. Pastor to Manufacture the new Vessels and as Five of the Old Tankards were Gifts from Ancient Members of the First Church in Roxbury, to said Church, Mr. Jones was directed to engrave the names of said donors on the Cups made from said Five Tankards, and the year in which they were given. Also To engrave on them the year in which they were Renewed.
WILLIAM DAVIS (Deacon).
