Scope and Content Information

These minutes cover the period from 10 November 1833 to 29 May 1869 and 15 August 1886. The actual date on which this volume was begun is not clear, since about twenty four pages at the beginning are missing. The first legible date is 10 November 1833. Entries for 1886 are on a fly leaf at the end of the volume. Many of the records refer to slaves whose owners are named in the membership lists. Membership lists appear on pages 127-130 and 135-144.
