[NOTE. This was the last entry made by Reverend John Prentice. He had dropped his pen forever, although he survived until January 6, 1748. For a year his pulpit was supplied by various clergymen, but no memoranda of baptisms or admissions to the church during this period are found until his successor in office, Reverend Timothy Harrington, re-opened the records. Of the thirty-eight said to have been bap- tized, the names of two only are known.]
