Records of the
Second Congregational Church,
later
First Presbyterian Church,
Pittsford, New York

line

This church was organized on May 11, 1809 as the Second Congregational Church of Northfield even though the name of the Town had been changed to Boyle the year before. The first minister was Rev. Solomon Allen and there were ten original members. The Town of Pittsford was formed in 1814.

These are the earliest records of the church. Most are membership records but there are some vital records at the end of this page. There are also some deaths listed within the membership records.

Through the years the church more aligned itself with the Presbyterian Churches than the Congregational. In the year 1869 they became fully Presbyterian.

In the column "Manner of admission", "Ex." and "Exam'd." are the abbreviations for "Examined".

Not sure what the "x" in the "Date of Dismission" column means.
