Records of the Third Church of Christ, East Hartford, Connecticut

These records of the Reverend Samuel Woodbridge (1683–1746) were transcribed by W. Herbert Wood, of Sibridge, New York. They cover the years 1723 to 1745.

The Third Ecclesiastical Society of Hartford first petitioned to procure a minister in 1694. As there were two existing societies in Hartford, it was proposed that the third society settle on the east side of the Great River. Samuel Woodbridge was ordained in 1705 and served until he fell ill in the 1730s and was unable to preach regularly.
