First Church in Falmouth.
FIRST PARISH.
With this number commences the pub- lication of extracts from the records of the church in Falmouth, now the First Parish in Portland, organized March 8, 1726-7, beginning with the covenant in force until March 19, 1815, when it was discontinued, as will be seen by the ex- tract from the records of the meeting of that date. This will be followed with a list of the names of those who acknowl- edged the covenant and the date of their admission to the communion, when given, or in the order that the names appear upon the records. The baptisms will follow in alphabetical order, families by themselves, when known. It is cer- tain that there are errors and many omissions in the records of baptisms, and it is hoped that those interested in this column will note and send to the editor all corrections and additions possible.
Under the date of August 30, 1727, Par- son Smith writes: "This day we first sat down to the table of the Lord as a church, about 30 communicants." And yet but ten names are affixed to the copy of the covenant on record.
The entries between 1752 and 1756 have no dates. Under date of October, 1756, the record says: "A multitude omitted recording, the parents having other chil- dren baptized."
December, 1756, he says: "Four chil- dren at a lecture at Lieut. Knight's, viz: Staples, Gowins, Wilson, Knights, and three at a lecture at Scarbbig, viz. Gr. Conants, Peabodys."
"N. B. Many other children also were baptized the year past, but omitted to be recorded as the parents had other children baptized."
Aug. 26, 1759, he says: "I have baptized in about 9 weeks past 48 children, 11 of which were at Wells, four at Marble- head, and the rest of parents in this Parish, who had their former children baptized and so needless to record them."
Marginal note, probably made after many pages of the book were written. It is to be noted: That where there is a record thro. the following pages of the Baptism of any child-all the children of the same parents have been also Baptised-tho. now and then probably some may have been omitted in the Record-as also, where there is a record of either parents recognizing their Bap- tism.
COVENANT.
The Chh. Covenant as consented to & signed by the several Bretheren, when the Chh. was gathered.
We whose names are underwritten sensibly acknowledging our own un- worthiness to be in, & inability to keep covenant wth. God as we ought-Yet ap- prehending ourselves called of God to put ourselves in to a Relation of Chh. Communion & to seek the settlement of ye Ordinance of Christ according to Gospel publication among us (abjuring all confidence in ourselves & relying upon Free Grace for aid & assistance) Profess as follows-We Declare our

serious belief of the Christian Religion as contained in the sacred scriptures & wth. such a View yr. of as ye Confession of Faith in our Chh. has exhibited, heartily resolving to conform our Lives wth. ye rules of that Holy Religion as long as we Live in ye world.
We do accordingly professedly ac- knowledge ourselves Bound to the Fear & Service of the Only True God (Fath- er, Son & Holy Ghost) & Avouch him this day to be Our God, our Father, our Savior, our Sanctifier & Leader, & re- ceive him as our portion forever. We give up ourselves to the Blessed Jesus (who is the Ld. Jehovah ye High Priest Prophet & King of his Chh.) un- der whose conduct we submit ourselves & on whom alone we wait for Grace & Glory, & to whom we Declare ourselves bound In an everlasting Covenant never to be forgotten.
We Declare & pretend, & wth. De- pendance on his promised & powerful Grace, we engage to walk together as a Chh. of our Ld. Jesus Christ, In ye Faith & order of ye Gospel, so far as God hath or shall reveal the same unto us. And do accordingly solemnly Give up our- selves to one another, as Fellow Mem- bers of one body for mutual edification -& promise to submit ourselves to all ye Holy Administrations appointed by Him who is Head and Lawgiver of his Chh., dispensed according to ye rules of the Gospel, conscientiously attending the publick worship of God, the sacra- ments of the New Testament, The dis- cipline of his Kingdom & all his Holy Institutions in communion with one another, accepting & embracing Coun- sels & Reproofs with all humbleness & thankfulness & watchfully avoiding all sinful stumbling blocks & contentions, as becomes a society whom (we hope) the Lord has bound up together in a Bundle of Life.
We
likewise acknowledge Our Off-
spring to be Included wth. us in ye Gospel Cov't. & to stand in Cov't Rela- tion according to Gospel Rules, & Bless- ing God for such a Priveledge, do prom- ise as he shall enable us to bring them up in the Nurture and Admonition of the Lord.
Furthermore-That we are under in- dispensable obligations at all times to be careful to procure the settlement & continuance of Chh. officers among us according to the appointment of Jesus Cht. ye chief Shepherd of his Flock for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry, for the Edi- fying of the body of Cht. And that we are equally obliged to be careful and faithful for their maintenance, encour- agement & comfort, particularly to high- ly honor & love those yt may labor in word & Doctrine among us for ye works sake in the whole conscientiously dis- charging our Duty to them & ever car- rying it as becomes Saints.
Finally we promise to preserve com- munion wit. ye Chh. of Cht. for giving & receiving of mutual counsel & Assist- ance in all cases wr.in we shall judge it really needful.
Now the Good Lord be mercyful to us & as He hath put it into our hearts thus to Devote our selves to him, let him Pity & Pardon our Failings & many Errors, humble us out of all vain Confidence & keep it for ever in the thoughts and im- aginations of our hearts to be faithful to him and to one another to his Praise & our eternal comfort. To whom be Glory for ever and ever Amen.

FIRST CHURCH IN FALMOUTH.
Of the ten signers of the covenent as recorded, four were dismissed in 1734, to form a church in Purpodoc, viz: John Armstrong, William Jameson, Robert Means, and Thomas Haskal.
The following is the record of a meet- ing held March 19, 1815:
"At a meeting held at my house-pres- ent Deacons Freeman and Storer, Pren- tiss Mellen, Cotton Brooks, Woodbury Storer, Jun., William Oxnard & John Owen, Unanimously Voted that what- ever may have been the practice in the earlier periods of this Church with re- spect to requiring specific acknowledge- ment of particular offences from persons wishing to become members, and prior to their admission, the above mentioned practice shall in future be discontinued.
N. B. This matter had been under the consideration of the church for some time."
Memorandum by Rev. Thomas Smith.
Before the Ch was gathered & a min- ister settled the Rev. Mr. Fitch of Ports- mouth being occasionally with us bap- tised the following children:
John, Benjamin, Samuel, Sarah and William, the children of Samuel and Sarah Procter.
Thomas and William, children of
Deborah Cummings.
Benjamin and Elizabeth, children of James and Mary Douglass.
John and Mary, children of James and Elizabeth Irish.
Mary, daughter of Moses and Phebe Goold.
Rebecca and Esther, children of John and Elizabeth Graves.
Abigail, daughter of John and Lydia Trott.
Ann, daughter of John and Mary Bar- bour.
William, son of James and Susanna Buxton.
Benjamin, son of Benjamin and Mehit- able Blackstone.
Joshua, son of Zech. and Hannah Bracket.
Mary, daughter of Rich and Hannah Pummery.
Abigail, daughter of Jeremy and Ra- chel Rigs.
Traphena, negro child belonging to Maj. Moodey and born in his house.
At same time Lucretia Owen, an adult person, was baptised and two of her children, viz., John and Mary.
Moses and Phebe Goold, John and Lydia Trott, Sarah Proctor, Susannah Buxton, Hannah Pummery, Mehitable Blackstone and Elizabeth Graves, all owned their baptismal covenant at that time.
The Rev. Mr. White of Glocester being with us some time after baptised a child of Mr. J. Browne, named Elizabeth.
The Rev. Mr. Eveleth likewise bap- tised two children viz., a son of J. and Lydia Trott, and a child of J. Cromwell named Elizabeth.
FALMOUTH, MARCH 8th, 1726-7.
This day the church was gathered in this place, and Thomas Smith ordained pastor, Present and assisting at the sol- emnity were pastors and delegates of the church at Wells, the church at York, the church at S. Berwick, and the church at Kittery. The Rev. Mr. Moody began with prayer; the Rev. Mr. Wise preached, and gave the R. H. of Fellow- ship, the Rev. Mr. Newmarch gave the charge, and the Rev. Mr. Rogers closed with prayer.
The whole affair was carried on and finished much to the satisfaction and joy of every one concerned. Thanks to God we are the first church that ever was settled to the eastward of Wells; may the gates of hell be never able to prevail against us, Amen.

June 16; on a day of fasting and pray- er, the church solemnly renewed their covenant, at which solemnity, were present all the church except three male comunists; and a very few women were absent.
N. B. This solemn transaction was agreed to by the church, upon occasion of the terrible distemper that has been and is still prevailing in the land, which has swept away such multitudes of the children and younger people, and which since it has come into the houses of this town has been greatly mortal.
