Notes from Peter Divine:

1. "do" means "ditto", used in place of re-writing the surname of the previously mentioned individual.
2. Notes and question marks that I inserted are enclosed in brackets [?].
3. All other notes and question marks, including those in parentheses (), were found on the microfilm.
4. The manuscript on the film was partially translated from Dutch to English. I have translated a few additional words such as "widow" and have converted the dates into the modern mm/dd/yy format.
5. I have carefully used commas as placeholders.

N.B. [Nota Bene]
A.D. 1802
Some of these both Elders & Deacons as well as of the other communicants were probably from the Church of Jamaica, as it was customary in former days and continued so at my settlement as Pastor of the Churches of Newtown and Jamaica, R.D. and for some years afterwards for some of the members of both Churches to commune together whenever the Lords Supper was administred in either Church.

The foregoing record was translated from the Dutch into the English language and the Nota Bene added by Me Jacob Schoonmaker Paster of the Churches of Jamaica and Newtown A.D. 1848.
