Records of Rev. John Norton.

Note.— The numerals enclosed in parenthesis thus (i) refer to the pages of the original record of the Diary of Mr.- Norton.

§OPY of the Record or Diary kept by the Rev. Mr. John Norton, Pastor of the East Hampton Congregational Church from 1748 to 1778. Made by Martin L. Roberts from the original manuscript now in possession of Edward E. Cornwell, M. D., 146 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, X. V. This Record was kept upon small sheets of writing paper sewed together and very closely written, and age and lack of care have rendered some portions of it nearly illegible. It covers the period from April 18, 1764, to March 24, 1772. The remaining records of his pastorate are supposed to have been destroyed when the house of his daughter Eunice was burued. Copied December, 1898.
