The record books of the First Reformed Church of Easton are contemporaneous in their origin with the beginnings of the settlement of the borough and city of Easton and contain information of the greatest value to thousands of descendants. These records, which are contained herein, are chronological, running from 1760 to about the middle of the 19th century, and are divided into three distinct categories: (1) baptisms--giving parents' names, infant's name, date of birth, and names of godparents; (2) deaths and burials--giving names and dates and sometimes exact places of residence; and (3) marriages--giving names of brides and grooms and dates.

History

Kieffer, Henry Martyn

Americas

Genealogical Publishing Company

Served with the one hundred and fiftieth regiment Pennsylvania volunteers. The writer of Recollections of a drummer-boy wishes to say to the readers that he is writing no made up story or fictitious narrative, but is drawing upon his own personal experiences for all he has to say. He was a Drummer Boy in the Army of the Potomac, having been mustered in to the service in midsummer 1862 and mustered out with what remained of his regiment at the close of the war in 1865. Opposite to him , on the wall of his library, in which he is writing, hangs his "Discharge" framed in stout hickory, while before him, on his table are three little black books, all stained and soiled with exposure to wind and weather on many a long march-journals or diaries kept by him in camp and field- together with a bundle of old army letters written tot he folks at home.
