In addition to these, Rev. Josiah Peabody, Rev. Joel Wright, and Rev. Alanson Alvord, should be regarded as members, although their names do not appear upon the rolls, because ordination, or installation, properly places a pastor at the head of such a church. There would be, including the names of the three pastors last named (the other settled pastors being formally enrolled), a grand total of 424 names upon the list, from the first to the present (July 1, 1900). This, taken in connection with the members of the church at East Sullivan, as well as of the former Baptist church, is an exceptionally large roll of member- ship, in proportion to the size of the town, and is a most creditable record, and a striking indication of the high moral standing of the community. There have also been, as we shall see, some Sullivan persons, or former residents of the town who have joined the Unitarian, Methodist, and other churches of Keene.
The following is the record of baptisms in this church from the first :
