Recvd as new members Mary KINSER, Wm GARDNER and Catharine GARDENER his wife. No other minutes until July 1847. Brother John S EMERSON, being one of the members that claimed the Church book and papers after an effort for a union betwixt the two divided churches and after some contision [sic - contention] about them, the Friendship Church authorised to said Emerson to deliver them to the old church and the same was recvd by them. Additional Comments: This ends the minutes. It appears that no minutes were kept between the split off of members to Friendship. Efforts had been made over the years to re-unite Friendship and Beaver Dam but it didn't work out apparently. Now the church minute books were being returned from Friendship to the old church, i.e. Beaver Dam.
