         EDENTON METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH RECORD BOOK
                            Inventory

Abstract:      Volume with three parts:  a merchandise ledger,
           1804-1806; church records, 1815-1853 and 1863; and
           commonplace entries, undated.  The bulk of the volume
           is the records of Edenton Methodist Episcopal Church,
           including minutes of quarterly, steward, and other
           meetings; records of membership, births, baptisms,
           marriages, and deaths; lists of ministers and other
           officials; and a running history of the church, whose
           membership apparently included whites and both slaves
           and free blacks.  Church officials mentioned included
           Enoch Jones and Bernard Overton.
