BAPTISMS RECORDED AT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, DARIEN
1807-1825

Transcribed from church records: First Congregational Church of Darien (Middlesex Ecclesiastical Society) 1739-1938

Most entries for infant baptism include child's name, parent's name (generally father's name), date of baptism, and age. There are places in the records where the date of the event floats between more than one of the entries-making it difficult to establish where one day's events end and the next date's begin. Entries where the date is in question are indicated with ** . Names and pieces of information that were not clear to the transcriber are indicated by parenthesis (---).
