Some of the First Settlers of “The Forks of the Delaware” and Their Descendants

Description

The record books of the First Reformed Church of Easton are contemporaneous in their origin with the beginnings of the settlement of the borough and city of Easton and contain information of the greatest value to thousands of descendants. These records, which are contained herein, are chronological, running from 1760 to about the middle of the 19th century, and are divided into three distinct categories: (1) baptisms–giving parents’ names, infant’s name, date of birth, and names of godparents; (2) deaths and burials–giving names and dates and sometimes exact places of residence; and (3) marriages–giving names of brides and grooms and dates.
