Since we are getting into the 1850's soon, I send this membership list, both males and females. As you can see, it is undated but thought to be close to 1850. As regards the last set of minutes, the question of sporting got a very large response. The beliefs ranged from something akin to putting on airs to fornication, with much gambling in between. I haven't any idea of the correct definition in this context but had a hunch that it might have involved gambling. Thank all of you who endeavored to seek out the answer. Ernie Jones even consulted a 1913 Webster's Dictionary. Webster felt it was gambling. Who knows. Harris begin Membership List undated, but appears on the page after the 1850 List Males Names 1 C.L.
