A meeting of the Episcopal religious society was held at the home of Hezekiah Huntington.

  1. Hezekiah Huntington was selected to serve as senior warden.
  2. Edward Goodman was chosen to serve as junior warden.
  3. Elisha Johnson was chosen to serve as clerk.

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.

Twelve men organized the Episcopal religious society on Asylum Hill on September 12, 1859.

The religious society will meet and vote to buy a lot for their future church on November 21, 1859.
