1640 Samuel Miles was baptized on April 12. Jacobus describes the church record as follows: "The original first book of Milford Church records shows [page 1] that the church was gathered at New Haven, 22 Aug. 1639. The list of admissions shows new members added in October and December 1639 and in January and on 9 February 1640, and under the last is written: 'These were added to ye church in New Haven.' The next entry is the admission of William East on 8 Mar. 1640, after which is written: 'joined at Milford.' The church returned to New Haven for the ordination of Peter Prudden on 8 April; and on 12 April 'ye next sab after the ordination,' as the record reads, Samuel Miles was baptized. The next baptismal entry is that of Epenetus Plot [Platt] on 2 July, and since the record adds 'at Milford,' we take this to be the first baptism performed there. [1]
