[Transcriber's note:-- There seems to be no organization of the records in the first section either by date or name. The Appendix is organized, with a few exceptions, by date. They are transcribed just as they appear in the typescript except for capitalizing men's surnames. According to several sources, the Reformed Church records normally include the wife's maiden name. I haven't capitalized these except in marriage records where it is clearly a surname and not a middle name, but they may be clues to maternal grandparents.] GUILFORD CHURCH Certificate of Incorperation was signed on 6 Aug 1833.
