Athens: Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Register, 1807-1825
File — Case: MSS Vertical File Drawer One
Identifier: Folder 114
Scope and Contents
File contains a complete photocopy of the records of Trinity Episcopal church of Athens as kept by Reverend Joseph Prentiss during his tenure. Within appear Baptisms, Marriages, and Funeral services held by the church within the date ranges specified. Also within are some notes on marriages and baptisms conducted by Rev. Prentiss on behalf of St. Luke's Episcopal Church at Catskill. During this period Trinity Episcopal Church was the only financially solvent faith community in Athens with a building, and as such they kindly hosted the Dutch Reformed and Lutheran communities within their building prior to the latter two groups acquiring their own church edifices in the 1820s. This photocopy of the church register was created by the staff of the Greene County Historical Society from the original which was provided for scanning by Schuyler Van Loan as the last Clerk of the Vestry of Trinity Church prior to it closing.
