Arlington Street Church RecordsThis Boston congregation, first referred to as the Church of the Presbyterian Strangers, was founded in 1729 by Scots–Irish Presbyterians. Known variously as “the Meeting House in Long Lane” and “the Federal Street Church,” the congregation was named the Arlington Street Church in 1862. One of the church’s early ministers, Jeremy Belknap (1787–1798), maintained a list of families in the parish, with information about the “inoculation” of members and records of deaths from smallpox in Boston, Massachusetts. The full collection at the Andover–Harvard Theological Library contains 52 boxes and is organized into 11 series of records.
