Transcriber's notes

The repairs to the Church are described as taking place in the "present year 1858", i.e. the year the Name Book was written. The repairs to the Manse are described as in the "current year 1841". This is a modified quotation from the Stat. Acct. which was written in 1841. Just in case any reader is confused.
