Seeking information about a Strict Congregational or Separatist Church that was formed in 1755 by a small group of people who had withdrawn from the North Lyme Church at Hamburg. In 1757 Daniel Miner became their Pastor and he remained in that position until his death. Was this Church located at Grassy Hill? Are there any vital records available from this Church?

Greetings, The information I have seems to indicate that the following church is a descendant of the Separatist church formed in 1755 [or earlier] which you mentioned: Grassy Hill Congregational Church (860) 434-7421 Rr 3 Box 139-1 Old Lyme, CT You could contact them and inquire about the possible whereabouts of records of the Separatist church. Best wishes, Rev. Dr. Doug Showalter
