The date of his admission does not appear; but he was manifestly a member, because he was called to account, 14 Nov. 1753, for absenting himself 'from the sacrament of the Lord's Supper,' but afterwards made his peace with the church. He d. 31 Oct 1762; his wife Elizabeth d. 8 Nov. 1761.

Thomas Elwell, pub. 25 Ap. 1762."
