This document lists pew holders at Christ Church from page 1 to 46, St. Peter's from page 47 to 98, and St. James' from page 99 to 150. Large spans of blank pages were not scanned, which accounts for gaps in page numbers. Dates begin as early as 1778, but the bulk of dates fall between 1809 and 1825. Entries are listed by pew number and include number of seats rented, rate, to whom let, when let, and when "given up, relinquished or forfeited."

Pew maps for each of the three churches appear at the end of the book, followed by an alphabetical index.]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> https://www.philageohistory.org/rdic-images/common/get-jpeg-small.cfm/ChristChurch.AccountingWardensPewRentAccountBooks_v361.001.FrontCover.jpg]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church, St. Peter's, and St. James's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Churchwardens' accounts]]> Church finance]]> Church buildings]]> Cemeteries]]> Charity]]> Poor]]> Episcopalians]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church and St. Peter's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church, St. Peter's, and St. James's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Episcopal Church]]> Manuscripts]]> Account books]]> https://www.philageohistory.org/rdic-images/common/get-jpeg-small.cfm/ChristChurch.AccountingWardensGeneralAccountJournal_v155.001.FrontCover.jpg]]>
