    The First Congregational Church was organized at Gloucester, Mass., in  1642,
    removing from thence in 1650 to New London, consequently we would  here
    correct the mistake made in the Preface of the First Book "Early  Connecticut
    Marriages, and number this as the 10th instead of the 13th  Congregational
    Church organized in the state.   Record commencing March  31, 1691, containing
