Histoire administrative
The First Congregational Church of Kingston on Wellington Street at Johnson was built in 1865. Tradition has it that there had been a "Union" meeting place in Kingston since about 1810. Those who attended were not Church of England members, but people holding evangelical or independent views: Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists. The various groups that had made up the "Union" body eventually built churches of their own and the land at the corner of Wellington and Johnson was deeded to the Congregational church trustees in 1850. This occurred during the Pastorate of Reverend Kenneth M. Fenwick. For a variety of reasons, the membership of First Congregational Church declined and the members united with the members of Chalmers Church in 1922. In 1923 the church building was sold to the Masonic Order.
Historique de la conservation
The majority of the records were found in amongst Faculty of Medicine records. The marriage register was donated by David St. Onge in 1999.
