A list of names of pew owners in 1733 with a few later changes. The Vosburgh transcription included numbers that had been added to the original manuscript in 1882 when a Dr. Thompson was preparing newspaper articles about the church. Those numbers are not included here. Spelling and capitalization appear as found. Retranscribed by Karol Hughes.
