[After the above list the only record of communicants that Old Tennent now possesses may be indicated by a study, in the Baptismal Register, of the names of adults that were baptized and of the names of parents who had children baptized.]
A small Memorandum book, kept by Dr. Woodhull at the beginning of his pastorate, was happily discovered and obtained some years ago. Rev. Frank Chandler, D. D. found this book in the possession of an aged junk-

dealer, whom he visited and with whom he conversed in his extreme ill- ness. The junk-dealer had purchased it in the vicinity of Freehold among a lot of old papers, and doubtless recognizing its value had preserved it. In April ISSI action was taken by the Presbytery of Monmouth to procure the book from the junk-dealer, and then by that Presbytery it was pre- sented to the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia .. The same quick observation and prompt action by us all might often result in re- covering many important historical materials. This memorandum book reads as follows :

APPENDIX.
After this we have a list, apparently made out in 1826, happily secured by Rev. Allen H. Brown, a successful and indefatigable student in church history. He obtained this list of Henry Shaw, Long Branch, N. J., and deposited it in the vaults of the Library of Princeton Theological Semi- nary. The original book was the sessional record and register of the Pres- byterian church at Howel, N. J., and in some way it contained this list of Old Tennent's communicants. A column of figures is alongside the list marking the ordinal numbers of the names ; these figures are here omittted in order to economize space and avoid confusion.
"List of the members of the Ist Presbyterian church Freehold, N. J., when the Rev. J. F. Halsey was ordained Pastor June 14, 1826."
[Here is given first the names of 17 elders ; but these are omitted now because not all were elders in 1826, and because their names are all included in the complete list of Elders. See Appendix.]

After this for some years Old Tennent has no regular list of its communicants, except here and there as names and dates have been secured from members themselves ;- until after the disastrous fire lhal destroyed the parsonage home and Sessional Records July 25, 1869, when Rev. A. P. Cobb in 1870 made out a list of all that were members at that time; and since then the record is complete down to the present The author (F. R. S.) has gathered a few names and dates whose record was lost or not known, and has endeavored to arrange all in order. But this list is partially approximate, manifestly imperfect, and certainly incomplete, albeit it cost considerable toil to arrange il even as it is.
