Twelve men met to form an Episcopal religious society on Asylum Hill.

The twelve men were:

  • George Affleck
  • Samuel Alexander
  • James Dixon
  • Edward Goodman
  • William T. Hallett
  • John Hatfield
  • Frank J. Huntington
  • Hezekiah Huntington
  • Samuel H. Huntington
  • Edward Johnson
  • Elisha Johnson
  • Aaron Keney
  • H. K. Morgan

Information on this event comes from the May 16, 1910 article on Trinity Parish’s 50th anniversary.  So far, I haven’t found any contemporary reporting on this meeting.

The first formal meeting of the Episcopal religious society will be held on September 26, 1859.
