Historical Sketch

St. Andrew's Church records prior to 1780 were lost presumably due to the agitation surrounding the Revolutionary War. Members of the Episcopal Church were at that time suspected of being (and often were) loyalist to the King. Many members were arrested and imprisoned because of their prayers to the King and objections to paying taxes to the established (Puritan) church.

Dates	Events
28 July 1725	At the request of several residents of the town of Scituate, Mass., Rev. Dr. Timothy Cutler, rector of Christ Church of Boston, Mass., conducts a service according to the liturgy of the Church of England at the North Meeting House in Scituate.
1727-1733	Services are conducted in Scituate at intermittent intervals by Rev. Ebenezer Miller, a missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, from Christ Church in Braintree (now Quincy), Mass.
11 October 1731	Rev. Miller conducted a service and baptized eight children before more than 150 attendees at the opening of the first church building of St. Andrew's Church. The building, made of wood with a bell-tower and bell, was built on land that had been set aside by the town of Scituate for a common area in 1699.
1733	Rev. Addington Davenport was appointed to be the first resident minister of St. Andrew's by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. He left to serve at Kings Chapel in 1737.
1737?	Rev. Charles Brockwell was appointed rector of St. Andrew's by the Venerable Society. Brockwell only lasted a few short months due to dissatisfaction with him by church members.
1743?	Rev. Ebenezer Thompson was the next regular rector to be appointed by the Venerable Society. He served during the difficult times before the Revolutionary War, ultimately dying in 1775 "partly from bodily disorder and partly from uncivil treatment from the rebels of his neighborhood." It is believed that the early records of the church were lost when the "patriots entered the house of Mr. Thompson, seized and destroyed his library, together with the records of the church since 1730."
1783	After a few years of temporary rectors, the Rev. William Wheeler was chosen to lead the church. He served until his death in 1810.
24 April 1810	A vote was taken at a parish meeting to move the church from the current location in Scituate to Hanover providing that "individuals will build a new church in said Hanover."
1811	Rev. Joab G. Cooper was chosen as rector. He served until his retirement in 1816.
11 June 1811	On June 11 the new church in Hanover was consecrated by Bishop Alexander Griswold. This was the first church to be blessed by him.
1818	Rev. Calvin Walcott was chosen as rector, and served until 1834.
1834	Rev. Samuel Appleton was chosen as rector, and served until 1838.
1839	Rev. Eleazer A. Greenleaf was chosen as rector, and served until 1841.
1841	Rev. Samuel Cutler was chosen as rector, and served for over thirty years until his retirement in 1872.
1849	A new rectory was built on Washington Street. Rev. Cutler was the first minster to live there.
1872	Rev. William H. Brooks was chosen as rector, and served until he became private secretary to Bishop Phillips Brooks in 1888. Rev. Brooks was very active and beloved in the community.
1879-1880	St. Andrew's interior was remodeled in the Gothic style and a belfry bell was given to the church by the Ladies' Dorcas Society.
1889	Rev. Frank S. Harraden was chosen as rector, and served until his death in 1905.
1902	A small parish house, consisting of a hall, stage, kitchen, and guild room, was erected behind the church, and a clock was added to the steeple of the church.
1907	Rev. Marcus H. Carroll was chosen as rector, and he served for nearly twenty years. Rev. Carroll created several new programs as rector, including the Alter Guild, a Parish Aid Society (later the Women's Guild), a Boys' Club, and the Vestry Choir, which he led. He also wrote several songs that were sung during services, and introduced the envelope system.
1911	To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the erection of the church in Hanover, a new organ and choir stalls were purchased for the anniversary celebrations.
1927	Rev. Walter Whitehill was chosen as rector, and served until his death in 1933. During his service the parish house was enlarged.
1927	Rev. Stanley Ross Fisher was chosen to take the non-Eucharistic services until an ordained Episcopal clergyman could be found. However, Rev. Fisher took the examinations of the Episcopal priesthood and was ordained at St. Andrew's in 1935. He was the rector until her retired in 1949.
1949	Rev. Robert Lewis Jones was chosen as rector, and served until he retired in 1974.
1956	The church was restored with Gothic touches removed, and a new organ was installed.
1957	The old rectors' house on Washington Street was sold, and the house adjacent to the parish was purchased to become the new home of the rector and his family.
1961	St. Andrew's celebrated the 150th anniversary of the erection of the church in Hanover.
1962	Rev. Donald Lunetta was chosen as the first curate, and then assistant minister. He was ordained the following year at St. Andrew's, and served until he left for another position in 1964.
1964	Fanny H. Phillips was the first women to join the vestry.
1966	Rev. Wilbur Kingwill was chosen as co-minister, and served until he retired in 1971.

Collection Description

The St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Hanover, Massachusetts) records consist of fifteen document boxes, two oversize boxes, and 31 volumes that span the years 1737-1979. The collection is divided into seven series: Parish Records, Rectors and Ministers' Sermons, Parish Club and Organization Records, Scrapbooks, Historical Records, Printed Materials, and Miscellaneous Oversize.

The bulk of the collection consists of records created after St. Andrew's relocated from Scituate to Hanover in 1811. Although St. Andrew's was founded in the early eighteenth century, almost all of the early parish records in this collection date after the end of the Revolutionary War. Most of the records from before 1780 are thought to have been destroyed by patriots before or during the war because members of the Episcopal Church were believed to be supporters of the King.

Parish records document the daily management of the church and the formal services and programs offered by the church. These records, created or received primarily by rectors, wardens, vestry, and other staff, include annual reports, correspondence, records of births, deaths and marriages, meeting minutes, and other administrative, committee, and financial records kept from 1774-1979. In addition to the parish records, there is a large amount of printed materials that reflect the daily management of the church and the formal programs and services offered by the church, including orders of service (1835-1975)and several iterations of church bulletins from 1910-1975. The records in both of these series also reflect St. Andrew's relationship with the Massachusetts Diocese and the Episcopal Church in general.

Parish club and organization records reflect the involvement of church members through activities, programs, and events, and include records of a few women' organizations.

The earliest materials in the collection are sermons written and preached by the clergy of St. Andrew's (and elsewhere), including anonymous sermons beginning in 1737 that were formally attributed to Rev. Ebenezer Thompson.

In addition, the collection contains a series of scrapbooks that document many of the activities, programs, and events held at St. Andrew's and a series of historical records that include accounts and notes about the history of the church and its members.
