GENERAL LIST OF MEMBERS, Comprising all ivho are or have been Members, at any period from the organization of the Church, to Jan. 1, 1865. Explanation.— The letter c prefixed to a name, denotes that the person was re- ceived by certificate, from some other church. All others were admitted on profes- eion of their faith. The letter [r] at the end of a name, signifies that the person had before been a member of this Church, but having asked and received a certificate of dismisBion, now returned it, or brought a new one, and was re-admitted. The letter [w] inserted in the name of a female, signifies widow. In the names of married women, who were so at the time of admission, the name of the husband is inserted in a parenthesis. To ascertain wliether any person is still a member or not, and if not, when and howhe was dismissed, and wliither he has removed, see the two Alphabetical Lists, which follow this. In those Lists the names of women who have been married since their admission, as well as those who had been married before, take the names of their husbands. 1852.
