The Session is a body of elected elders governing a Presbyterian church. This manuscript begins with a list of pastors at First Presbyterian up to 1830, then includes an historical list of elders, followed by a list of communicants, with their dates of admission as well as notes on certificates, dismissals, exclusions and deaths. Session minutes begin on image 90. They run from 1830 to 1851, and note the date, members present, and business discussed. Business includes elections to office and appointments to committees; management of church finances, including financial assistance to the poor; church membership; and the resolution of conflicts between, and discipline of, church members.
