Mr. S. C. Burnet has called our attention to an important error on page 3 in the Jan. RECORD. The date for the ordination and installation of Rev. Albert Barnes should be Feb. 8, 1825 instead of 1824. Our error was due, strange as it may seem, to the man- ual of the church prepared by Albert Barnes himself, where the date is given as found in THE RECORD of January. That 1825 is the true date appears beyond doubt from the Sessional Records. The meetings of Ses- sion are in chronological order through 1824; then in 1825 there are entries under dates of Jan. 7, Jan. 21, Jan. 24, and on Feb. 8th a record of the ordination and in- stallation of Rev. Albert Barnes. This fin- ishes the book. Mr. Barnes procured a new Session Book, and the first entry in it, in his own hand writing, is " Rev. Albert Barnes was ordained and installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and Congrega- tion in Morris Town, by the Presbytery of Elizabeth-Town, Feb'y 8, 1825. The Rev. David Magie presided and gave the charge to the minister; the Rev. John McDowell, D.D., preached the sermon from 2 Thes.


v. 12 & 13: the Rev. Wm. Barton gave the charge to the people."


The minutes of Session continue in chro- nological order thereafter. These facts place beyond doubt the date as given above. Feb. 8th, 1825, as the day of Mr. Barnes' ordination and installation.


The wrong date, copied from Mr. B's own manual, has found its way into quite general acceptance.


Mr. Burnet noticed the error because he was married by Mr. Barnes in less than a month after the latter's ordination and hence remembered the year perfectly, espe- cially as his was the first marriage at which the young minister officiated. The original entry is March 2, 1825, married, Samuel Crane Burnet to Sarah Elizabeth Mills, both of Morris Town, county of Morris.


The first Presbytery in the United States was that of Philadelphia, which was formed in 1705 or 1706. The first leaf of the Re- cords is lost, which fact leaves it uncertain which of the above dates is the correct one. The Presbytery consisted at its formation of seven ministers, viz: Francis MaKemie, John Hampton, George Macnish, Samuel Davis, John Wilson, Jedediah Andrews, and Nathaniel Taylor.


THE FIRST SYNOD.


By the year 1717, the original Presbytery had so increased in numbers, that it was deemed expedient to divide it into four Presbyteries, viz : Philadelphia, New Castle. Snow-Hill and Long Island.


These four Presbyteries were consequent- ly erected into a Synod, dating from 1717, and called the Synod of Philadelphia. It is from the minutes of this body that the extract on page 18 is made. The General Assembly was not constituted until 1789.

THE RECORD.


EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE | Synod considering the same, do earnestly SYNOD OF PHILADELPHIA.


Sept. 20th, 1733.


The affair of Hanover coming under con- sideration, and many papers being read to give light to the Synod in that affair, it was agreed that the committee bring in an over- ture on said business at our next sederunt. Sept. 21st, 1733.


The committee having spent much time in reasoning on the affair of Hanover com- mitted to them, at length agreed upon an overture on it in the following articles, viz : First, That the Synod look upon the prac- tice of submitting of congregational affairs to the decision of a lot, though accompanied with sacred solemnity, to be unwarrantable, inasmuch as lots are only warrantably used to decide matters that can't be otherwise determined in a rational way ; particularly by applying to higher judicatories.


Secondly, The Synod do think that in their present circumstances of poverty & weak- ness, it might be very advisable for the peo- ple of West Hanover, at least for some time, to join themselves with the congregations of East Hanover and Basking Ridge, as may be most convenient, until they, as well as the said neighbouring congregations, be more able to subsist of themselves separately. Yet in the meantime, as the case now stands with that people, if re-union between East and West Hanover be found impracticable, according to our above advice, the Synod judge that the people of West Hanover be left to their liberty to erect themselves into a separate congregation. Withal we earnestly obtest and beseech, that nothing be done in that affair that may have a tendency to hurt the interest of religion in those places, so far as in them lies.


The above overture being read was ap- proven by a great majority of votes.


Sept. 24th, 1733.


Mr. Nutman representing to the Synod, the great dificulties he is falled under, as to his continuing pastor of the congregation of East-Hanover, by reason of the division and discord between them and the people of West-Hanover; they, viz : of West-Han- over being allowed by this Synod, to erect themselves into a separate congregation (in case, as per minutes of the Synod ) the


recommend it to the Presbytery of East- New-Jersey to travail with the people of West-Hanover and East-Hanover, in order to prevail with them to agree upon condi- tions of re-union, at least for a while, until they be better able to subsist apart. But if the Presbytery's endeavors to this purpose should not have effect, it is this Synod's judgment, that a dismission may be granted to Mr. Nutman from the people of East- Hanover, by the said Presbytery, upon his application for the same.


Sept. 19th, 1734, 10 A. M.


Ordered that the last year's minutes with relation to Mr. Nutman and the people of Hanover, be further considered.


4 P. M.


The affair of Mr. Nutman and Hanover continued.


Sept. 20th, 1734, 10 A. M.


The affair of Mr. Nutman further con- sidered.


3 P. M.


The affair of Mr. Nutman continued.


Sept. 21st, 1734, 9 A. M.


The affair of Mr. Nutman-yet continued.


4 P. M. Mr. Nutman's affair still continued.


Sept. 23rd, 1734, 10 A. M.


Resolved, That the affair of Mr. Nutman, from time to time continued, be first con- considered the next sederunt.


3 P. M.


The affair of Mr. Nutman and the people of Hanover resumed, and after reading our last year's minutes, and Mr. Dickinson pro- posing a difficulty concerning the obligation of the determination by the lot mentioned in said minutes, whether the obligation of the said determination yet remains binding upon said people, the Synod after much dis- course and reasoning about that matter, at length came to a judgment in the following propositions :


I. That the Synod look upon the obliga- tion of a determination of a difference by a lot, to be sacred and binding upon the con- science, if the matter so determined be law- ful and practicable, and consequently to act contrary thereunto must be a very great sin.


2. That as the foundation upon which a lot is cast may cease, and the practicable- ness of acting according to the detormina-


19


THE RECORD.


tion thereof may, in time, cease also,(though for a time it may continue practicable,) in such a case we judge that the obligation thereof doth cease also, because it can never be designed that such an obligation should remain after the design thereof becomes either impossible or hath been fully obtained.


3. Our determination last year relating to the people of Hanover did wholly go upon this supposition, that the affairs of that people and their circumstances were so far altered, upon representations then made to us, that we supposed the founda- tion of said lot, and of the people's acting upon it were ceased, which, whether it be certainly so or not, we do not peremptorily determine, but leave parties to judge thereof as in conscience they can.


4. That however, as in our minutes last Synod, we disapprove of the use of lots, without necesity, yet we are afraid, upon representation, that there hath been much sin committed by many, if not all that peo- ple, in their profane disregard of said lot in time past, and therefore excite them to re- tect upon their past practices in reference thereunto, in order to their repentance.

WABASH COLLEGE, CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND., Feb. 5. 1880.


Rev. Rufus S. Green :


MY DEAR SIR :- I have received and read with great interest the first number of THE RECORD. It is worthy of the old historic church, of which you are pastor, to preserve the history of itself and the community in which it has been a light so long. I con- gratulate you on your pluck in the under- taking, and wish you great success.


I have spent so many pleasant hours in this examination of what you are now taking in hand and have paid out so many dollars in the unremunerative but pleasant work, that I am glad it has attractions for a younger man.


I find the enclosed scrap which I think you will be glad to get. It was handed me years ago by H. A. Ford, Esq.


The Col. Ford spoken of is Col. Ford, Sr., the ancestor of many descendants. Hon. Gabriel H. Ford was his grand-son, as also a grand-son of Rev. Timothy Johnes, D.D.,


the greatly admired and beloved pastor of the First Church from 1743 to 1794. Very truly yours,


JOSEPH F. TUTTLE.


Extract from the Diary of the Hon. Gabriel H. Ford, dec'd.


THURSDAY, 21st June, 1849.


A census was taken in the years 1771 and 1772, in the British Provinces of America and deposited after the revolution, as public archives, at Washington ; but their room becoming much wanted, those of each pro- vince were delivered to the members of Con- gress from it, to cull what they chose, pre- paratory to a burning of the rest; Gen. Mahlon Dickerson then a member from New Jersey, selected some from the county of Morris, and sent me yesterday a copy ver- batim of one entry as follows : " Widow Elizabeth Lindsley, mother of Col. Jacob Ford, was born in the city of Axford, in old England, came into Philadelphia when there was but onte house in it-und into this Province when she was but one year and a half old. Deceased April 21st, 1772, aged 91 years and one month." I always understood in the family by tradi- tion from her (whose short stature, and slender, bent person, I clearly recall, having lived in the same house with her, and with my parents in my grand-father's family at her death and before it), that her father fled from England when there was a universal dread of returning Popery and persecution, 3 years before the death of Charles the Second, A. D., 1682, and two years before the accession of James the Second in 1684. - That while landing his goods at Philadelphia he fell from a plank into the Delaware river and was drowned between the ship and the shore, leaving a family of young children in the wilderness. That she had several children by her first husband whose name was Ford, but none by her second husband whose name was Lindsley ; at whose death she was taken into the family of her son, Col. Jacob Ford, Sen., and treated with filial tenderness the remaining years of her life which were many. I am in the 85th year (since January last) of my age, being born in 1765, and was 7 years old at her death.
