The above is a copy of a paper found in the records of St. Paul's Parish, Edenton, N. C., and relates to the money received and disbursed for the building of St. Paul's Church commenced May 10, 1736 and ready for Divine Worship April 10, 1760. The above account embraces only the items for the years 1736 & 1737, and amounts to about $6,600. There are expenditures for the other 22 years to give the total cost of the Church, these have not yet come to light. It is to be regretted that no name attaches to the paper, to designate the name of the Treasurer, or Commissioners in charge of the building.
