Excerpt from History of the First Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts: 1630 1904
In the arrangement of material each of the five meeting houses erected on or near the site of the present one has been given a chapter. The authorities will be found in the adjoin ing list. From these, extensive quotations have been made, and as far as possible the records tell the story.
The early records of the town, school, and church are very imperfect; in Eliot's petition to the General Court, June 29, 1669, for a renewal of the school charter, he says, Our first book and charter were burned in ye burning of John J ohn son's house But from 1652 the records are in a tolerably good condition, although the events are not always recorded in sequence. Rev. Amos Adams notes in reference to the church records, Inasmuch as some things worthy of notice are not as I find mentioned in this Book and others yt are, are mentioned in divers places scattered up and down, I have thot proper here to insert ye following articles, follow ing ye Revd. Mr. Eliot and Danforth's annals of events.
The Opening words are, The First Church in Roxbury was gathered July This is the only evidence on the church records of the gathering of the church, and as no copy of the covenant can be found, it was probably burned in John Johnson's house.
