This Session minute book (kept by the ruling elders of the church) documents a variety of events and activies, including a record of members, baptisms, and at times detailed remembrances of certain revered church members, e.g. David Park Weir (page 091). Of particular interest are the list African American members of the church, or "colored communicants" as they are documented here (see page 012), which includes the name of their owners.
