The birth and baptism records contain the following: child's full name, date of birth (if known), and the full names of the parents and witnesses. The marriage entries include: surname and given name of the bride and groom, date of marriage, and place of residence prior to the marriage. The death entries include: full name of the deceased and complete date of death, including the age at time of death. Rev. Bartholomew served in nine different churches during his pastoral career. These churches are listed by name, location, and his dates of service.
