Trapp was paid for the use of his house to the 12th of July, 1764, and it is probable that after that time the meeting-house, though then but a shell, was used for the Sabbath service. The bell was removed from its old position on the rock, and suspended from the limb of a large tree near the door. This church stood on a part of the area now occupied by Mansfield's block of brick buildings. It was completed in 1766, and thirty-three pews marked out, besides one at the right of the pulpit for th...e minister. The basement was let out for mercantile purposes. The first year, seventeen spaces for pews were sold, each pew being expected to accommodate two families, which could easily be done, as most of the young people, above the age of children, were accustomed to sit in the galleries. It may be interesting at the present day to read a list of the pew-hold- ers, particularly to see who were associated in the same pew. No. 1. The Minister and his fiimily. 2.
