Strong. At no period, while the first Pastor labored here, did the church much exceed one hundred in number, probably most of the time it fell short of that amount, though the population of the parish for many years was as large or larger than it is at the present time. " The half-way covenant, " as it was called, was 24 early introduced here, and was continued in practice till September, 1798. Persons of fair moral character and orderly lives, though they did not profess to have experien- ced ...the converting grace of God, on assenting to the cove- nant, were allowed the privilege of having their children baptized. The consequence was, that while the number of those who were " in full communion" was small, many had the seal of the covenant applied to their households. Though this parish was never rent asunder by contending sects, or greatly agitated by internal commotions, yet from an early period there have been here those who were of dif- ferent persuasions. In the year 1751, John Scripture and Jonathan Shepherd, were exonerated by vote of the society, from paying their society tax, because they were in senti- ment, of the Baptist denomination.
