Greetings, I'm focusing in on a subject I made some reference to three years ago on this list. I am examining the role of the Great Awakening on my Falmouth church. In 1742 [New Style] sixty-four people were received into our Falmouth church, an exceptionally large number of admissions compared to the usual number of new members in our church in that period, which was about 4-5 persons a year. I now have a new question related to this: Does anyone know if the ADMISSION RECORDS of any of the other Cape churches during the 1740's have been PUBLISHED? I'm less interested in the names, than in the number of people who joined each year. I'm interested in those figures for comparison purposes. A 19th century newspaper article I found said that the first New Light evangelist minister to tour the Cape didn't do so until 1744. Also, a dramatic revival took place in Plymouth in February 1743. So far, I am at a loss to know exactly what triggered that great jump in our church's membership records in 1742 which was limited to only that one year. Also, more than half of the people propounded for membership that year, were propounded in the March to June period, which makes me think they may have been responding to some particular faith event they were exposed to that winter/spring on Cape or off Cape. I know that Barnstable church admission records were published in some of the first fifty volumes of the NEHGS Register, but they only cover the 17th century, as I recall. Thanks for any help, Rev. Dr. Doug Showalter .
