RECORDS OF THE FIRST CHURCH.
1708-1847.
Of existing records appertaining to the church in Lancaster, the oldest book opens with a copy of the covenant as renewed at the time of the ordination of Reverend John Prentice, March 29, 1708, and closes with an account of the ordination of Reverend Nathaniel Thayer, October 9, 1793. The second book continues the records to the end of the pastorate of Reverend Edmund Hamil- ton Sears, April 1, 1847.
Pages of both books devoted to matters of church discipline and polity, and sundry stray items relating to these subjects, are omitted herein as beyond the purpose of this volume, such omissions being noted by asterisks. The marriage lists are the originals of returns made to the town-clerks, and have been given on previous pages.
Reverend John Prentice married Mrs. Mary Gardner, the widow of his prede- cessor, at Roxbury, December 4, 1705 ; and second, Mrs. Prudence (Foster) Swan of Charlestown, probably in 1719. Mr. Prentice in 1708 signed the cove- nant, and added beneath it the names - Thomas Wilder, John Houghton, Joseph Whetcomb, John Wilder, Jeremiah Willson, John Rugg and Jonathan Moor. These eight may have been the only male members of the church at that date. There are also subscribed, not always in their own handwriting, the names of twenty-nine men admitted to membership from time to time-less than one- fourth the number of males accepted as communicants during the pastorate of Mr. Prentice. These were, in order of admission but not of signing : John Priest, Josiah White, Josiah Wheeler, James Wilder, Joseph Wilder, John War- ner, Samuel Warner, Jabez Fairbank, Benjamin Wilson, Daniel Rugg, Edward Phelps, John Harris, Jonas Houghton, Jonathan Houghton, Jabez Fairbank [Jr.], Hooker Osgood, Joseph Hutchins, Joshua Osgood, John Bennett, Thomas Houghton, Ephraim Houghton, Joseph Whitcomb, [Jr.], Oliver Moor, Joseph More, David Osgood, Samuel Willard, Joseph Wilder, Jr., Stanton Prentice, Josiah Swan. Then follow the records kept by the pastors.

BAPTISMS.
[NOTE. As infants were usually carried to the meeting-house to be baptized at a very tender age, often on the first Sunday after their birth, whatever the weather or the distance, the date of baptism has special value in cases where the birth record cannot be found. ]
