[Transcribed by Jane Devlin]

[Transcriber's note:-- a number of the dates are given as "9ber", etc. I have transcribed them as given, but suspect that "7ber" is September, "8ber" is October, "9ber" is November, and "10ber" or "xber" is December from the Latin numbers used to name those months. --jd] Mr. Poyer's Register includes entries for Flushing and Newtown, besides those that were brought to hime, from remote parts of Long Island. The original is in the size and shape of a copy book, the entries of baptism and marriages are in parallel columns and so pale as to require a magnifying glass to read them. A few leaves are lost; the rest are in a perishable condition and yellow with age. This register was first printed by the kind permission of Rev. Edwin B. RICE, rector in 1883, in a genealogical magazine. It is the only one of Grace Church Registers which has been before published. The parish records from 1732 to 1780 were lost during the rectorship of Dr. JOHNSON. They were kept in a box and may have been destroyed in the burning of the Church.
