INTRODUCTION: a record of 2,381 baptisms and 822 marriages celebrated during a term of fifty-six years 1723-1779, etc. The First Church in Huntington was organized about the time of the settlement of the town, say 1660. It was then an Independent or Congregational Church after the pattern of the Churches in Connecticut and did not become a Presbyterian Church until 1748 as appears in this record. Unfortunately the earliest records of this Church have not been preserved. At Mr. Prime's ordination the membership of the Church was only 15 men and 27 women, although the assessment lists of earlier time show more than a hundred resident tax payers. Nearly all the male members of the Church at Mr. Prime's ordination have “senr.” opposite their names. This indicates that they were old men, probably the sons of the original settlers. It may be inferred that the third generation were not generally members of the Church.
It was the practice to have infants baptized a few days after birth, apparently whether the parents were members of the church or not. Hence the pastor's record of baptisms is approximately a record of births in the families resident in the town. UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS RECORD THE NAMES OF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN BAPTIZED ARE RARELY SET DOWN. It is unfortunate also that no record was kept by the pastor of the burials attended by him.
CONFESSION OF FAITH. . . . I should confess with my Mouth those things which I believe in my Heart . And this is what I am now about to do I this Confession of my Faith which I make in ye Light and Presence of God and before this Assembly of many Witnesses . I believe that there is one only living and true God, Infinite in Being Glory, Blessedness and Perfection All sufficient Eternal, Unchangeable, Incomprehensible, Everywhere Present, Almight, knowing all things. The holy Scriptures contained in the Old and New Test. I believe to be of Divine Original and Authority. Therein are revealed the Great Mysteries of the Kingdom even all things necessary to be known, believed and done in order to eternal Salvation. For they came not by the Will of Man but holy Men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. I desire to build on no other Foundation but that of the Prophets and Apostles, Jesus X himself being the chief cornerstone.. I believe there is a Trinity of Persons distinguished one from another by the Manner of their Subsistence their personal Properties and the different parts the act, but yet One in Essence. There are three that bear Record in heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Spirit, and I receive and adore, it as a great Mystery of Godliness that these three are One equal in Power and Glory.
Through Faith I understand that the Worlds were framed by the Word of God for he created all things out of nothing and without him was not anything made which was made. He spake and it was done, he commanded and it stood fast. . I believe that as God created all things out of nothing by the Word of his Power, so his Kingdom ruleth over all.
I believe that God made Man the Head of this lower Creation at first upright holy and happy in his own Image and after his own Likeness, and entered into a Covenant of Life with him upon Condition of perfect Obedience to the Law moral and positive. But after God had given him a Law suitable to his Nature, in the Day he offended he should surely die. Man being left to ye Conduct of his own Will soon sought out many Inventions voluntarily rebelled and thereby lot ye Image of God, all who were in Adam radically and severally are made sinners However God willing to show his Mercy and make his Grace known hath appointed some to everlasting Life thro Sanctification of the Spirit and Belief of ye Truth, and having predestinated a certain Number to the Adoption of Children by Jesus X I believe those and those only shall be called justified and glorifyed.
I believe there are only two sacraments in the New Testament of Divine Institution, Baptism and the Lord's Supper . In Baptism I believe we are admitted into the visible Church and by the application of Water in the name of ye Father and of the Son and of ye Holy Ghost we are consecrated. In the Lord's Supper. I believe we are to eat and drink the sacramental Bread and wine in Remembrance of Jesus X ..I believe the Resurrection of the body both of ye Just and Unjust . I believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus X .
