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]]> ]]> United Churches of Christ-Church, St. Peter's, and St. James's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Christ Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. James's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> United Churches of Christ-Church, St. Peter's, and St. James's (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Episcopalians]]> Episcopal Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Episcopal Church]]> Church finance]]> Episcopalians]]> Church history]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Episcopal Church]]> Church finance]]> Episcopalians]]> Church history]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Episcopal Church]]> Church records and registers]]> Episcopalians]]> Church history]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Episcopal Church]]> Church records and registers]]> Episcopalians]]> Church history]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> St. Peter's Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Episcopal Church]]> Church records and registers]]> Episcopalians]]> Church history]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> First Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)]]> Church finance]]> Church records and registers]]> Pews and pew rights]]> Presbyterians]]> Presbyterian Church]]> Account books]]> Manuscripts]]> ]]>
