Notes
General:
"1853.
In the spring of 1853, Rev. J. E. Gifford was stationed here [Wellfleet]; and it was a year of low religious life. He was imprudent in some things, and so failed to reach the hearts of the people, and secure their co-operation. On the record he reported that sixteen professed religion, and twenty were added to the church. Owing to the imperfect condition of the record, his return in the minutes, of three hundred and forty-one members, was considerably too large. Probably there were not three hundred resident members at the time.

Brother Gifford located in 1861." 15
