Note: Particular attention is called to the factThat the names in the preceeding list, by no means agree with these names as they appear in the list of menbers in Volume III of the church record. The two lists should be carefully compared, as it would involve great detail and trouble to show all the difference here. I have compared both the original lists, and have rechecked every difference between the two; therefore, it can be safely said that this list and the one appearing in Volume III, are perfect transcripts. The names appearing on the preceeding page, from John Claw to Christina Reinhardt, are colored people, according to the list in Volume III.
