This document is a first draft of the constitution of St. Paul's, resolving to find land to rent in Philadelphia and funds to erect a new church building. The church was to follow the principles of the Church of England. Twelve persons were to be elected trustees, with the Reverend McClenachan serving as the first minister, and "sober Reputable and Religious Persons of the Congregation" appointed to collect pew rents and tend to the church building and grounds.]]> Manuscripts]]> Charters and articles of incorporation]]> ]]> Washington, George, 1732-1799]]> Washington, George, 1732-1799]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Sermons]]> Episcopal Church]]> Episcopalians]]> White, William, 1748-1836]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Letters]]> Manuscripts]]> Correspondence]]> ]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Duche, Jacob, 1737-1798]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Manuscripts]]> Correspondence]]> ]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Charitable bequests]]> Real property]]> Annuities]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Dobbins, Joseph]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> White, William, 1748-1836]]> Blackwell, Robert, 1748-1831]]> Annuities]]> Debt]]> Contracts]]>
Dobbins expresses frustration with the "unkind usage" he has received regarding the irregular payments, noting that he refused a partial payment from a Captain Williamson because a consistent payment method had not been adopted. He praises Mr. Hazlehurst for offering to advance the money but demands the recipients establish a reliable payment method through reputable agents.]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Marriage records]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Episcopalians]]> Episcopal Church]]> Manuscripts]]> Registers (Lists)]]> ]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Marriage records]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Episcopalians]]> Episcopal Church]]>
A note on the inside front cover from Rector B. Dorr adds to the record five marriages from 1836 and one from 1839, which were recorded in a private record but left out of previous official registers.

This document lists pew holders at Christ Church from page 1 to 46, St. Peter's from page 47 to 98, and St. James' from page 99 to 150. Large spans of blank pages were not scanned, which accounts for gaps in page numbers. Dates begin as early as 1778, but the bulk of dates fall between 1809 and 1825. Entries are listed by pew number and include number of seats rented, rate, to whom let, when let, and when "given up, relinquished or forfeited."

Pew maps for each of the three churches appear at the end of the book, followed by an alphabetical index.]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> United Churches of Christ-Church, St. Peter's, and St.
