Editor's Note: Since this entry, dated 12th March, 1754, comes between the minutes for 11th October, 1754, and those for 15th August, 1755, it was manifestly misdated in accordance with the old style calendar, which had been abandoned in 1752, and under which the year 1755 did not begin until March 25, instead of on January 1, as required by the Calendar Act, which made the change. The existing third Eastern Shore Chapel was therefore completed in 1755, instead of 1754, as inscribed over its west doorway.
