 Mss. Gr. 185 The records are in English. Historical Information

The group of people who became the first congregation of St. Michael’s church first met in 1718 at the house of William Walker, at the intersection of Hope and High streets in Bristol, R.I. This group split from the local Congregational church at a time when the Rev. James MacSparren was the focus of controversy, and in 1720, the group petitioned the Bishop of London and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel for a rector.

The first Rector, James Orem, arrived in 1721 to find a church building almost complete, built on property at the intersection of Hope and Church streets, which was donated by Col. Henry Mackintosh. One year later, Orem accepted a chaplaincy with the Royal Navy, and was succeeded by the Rev. John Usher. During Usher’s tenure, the Vestry was established as the governing body of the church and money was raised to purchase a church bell.

In 1734, Nathaniel Kay left the church a sizable bequest. It included the Point Farm, which was made into a school for “ten poor boys,” and a sum of money that was used to supply communion plate and help pay the rector’s salary. At this time, there were still some hard feelings between the Episcopal and Congregational churches in Bristol, and this led to disagreements over taxation. These were not resolved until the 1740s.

Usher was the rector of St. Michaels’ until he died in 1775. His son, John Usher Jr., helped hold the church together during the Revolutionary War, when it was impossible to call another rector from England. Usher Jr. continued to call vestry meetings in secret even after British soldiers torched the church building in 1778. By 1786, the congregation began to rebuild, and in 1790, St. Michael’s joined Trinity church of Newport, King's Church of Providence, and St. Paul's of Narragansett in founding the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island.

In 1791, John Usher Jr. was finally ordained, and continued as rector of the church. In 1800, the church called the Rev. Albert C. Clarke to take over, but after a power struggle in the vestry, Clarke found himself serving as Usher’s assistant. It wasn’t until Usher died in 1803 that the church truly came under new leadership – the leadership of the Rev. Alexander Viets Griswold.

Griswold left a parish of three churches in Litchfield County, Connecticut to become rector of St. Michael’s in 1804. In 1810, he was also elected the first and only bishop of the “ Eastern Diocese,” which was made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. He was consecrated in 1811, but he continued to serve as parish rector at St. Michael’s until 1830. He led the church through religious revivals in 1812 and 1820, which greatly increased the number of congregants.

Another prominent leader in St. Michael’s history, the Rev. John Bristed served the church from 1830 to 1843 and presided over construction of a new, larger building in the same location. This third building was burned down in 1858, and the cornerstone of the fourth and present building, built in the “Gothic Revival” style, was laid in 1860. The roof collapsed before it was finished, however, so it was not consecrated until 1861.

In 1867, Dr. George Lyman Locke succeeded a series of rectors – James Welch Cooke, Joseph Trapnell, William Stowe, and Lewis P. W. Balch – each of whom served only a few years. Locke served for the next 52 years and left behind a series of historical discourses chronicling the church’s legacy in Bristol. He saw the construction of the Parish house in 1877 and the Chantry in 1912. However, he also saw the church split over the issue of raising money by selling pews. In 1875, those who believed pews should be free and accessible to all built their own place of worship, Trinity Church in Bristol, R.I.

Lock was followed by the Rev. Anson B. Howard, who served as rector of St. Michael’s beginning in 1919. Quiet and scholarly, Howard did not take to the administrative tasks of being rector, and left after 10 years. In contrast, Canon Anthony R. Parshley, the next rector of St. Michael’s, was remarkably socially and politically active, and served from 1929-1947. He championed the enfranchisement of women in the congregation and the expansion of programs for youth.

During World War II, Canon Parshley presided at many community, fraternal, military, and ecumenical services. He also wrote monthly letters to service men and women, worked in a local factory, and organized the relief committee, which sent support to the original St. Michael’s church in Bristol, U.K. In 1947, he resigned to become Archdeacon of the Rhode Island Diocese.

Later that year, former Navy Chaplain Daniel K. Davis accepted the position of rector, and soon shouldered the responsibility of Diocesan Youth Advisor as well. He was a consistent proponent of Christian education and church activities like the annual bazaar. In 1952, he resigned all Diocesan offices to focus on congregational life of St. Michael’s. He was succeeded by Canon Delbert W. Tildesley, who served as rector of St. Michael’s from 1954 to 1982.

In 1968, the church celebrated its 250th anniversary. The event was commemorated by a lecture series, the reintroduction of the Parish Monthly newsletter, speeches by Sen. Claiborne Pell and Gov. John Chaffee, and the construction of a multi-purpose building. This building finally met the needs of the expanding church school. The rector’s responsibilities also expanded when Roger Williams Junior College [now Roger Williams University] moved to Bristol, R.I. in 1969, and the rector of St. Michael’s became the chaplain at the college.

During the 1960s and 1970s, St. Michael’s fostered relationships with other churches in the global community. It hosted visiting bishops from other countries and helped build a school in its sister diocese of Haiti. In 1977, the church entered into an ecumenical agreement with St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Along with other churches in the community, St. Michael’s also increased programming for youth, starting a coffeehouse called The Flower Pot and Lenten programs on sexuality and drinking.

Meanwhile, Tildesley was very active at the Diocesan level. He served on the Standing Committee from 1979 to 1983, at a time when the ordaining of women and changes to the liturgy were hotly debated. In 1979, when the Bishop of the Diocese of Rhode Island, Bishop Frederick Hesley Belden, resigned, Tildesley served on the search committee that eventually nominated Bishop George Nelson Hunt to take his place.

The Rev. Clifton Daniels took over as rector in 1984, and served as rector until 1996. In 1993, the church celebrated its 275th anniversary with a year’s worth of activities, including a performance of T. S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, a visit from Bishop Julio Holguin of the Dominican Republic, and the catalog and display of historical artifacts.

 Scope and Content Note

The collection spans the life of St. Michael’s Church, from its organization fifty years before the Revolutionary War to its 275th anniversary celebration in 1993. However, the church building was burned down in 1778 and again in 1858, and some of the early records may have been destroyed in those fires. All that exists of certain documents, such as the Kay Bequest, are handwritten copies.

Arrangement

After processing, the records were organized into thirteen series as follows:

1. Subject Files, 1721-1993 2. Vestry and Committees, 1923-1992 3. Rector’s Papers, 1815-1994 4. Parish Registers, 1721-1986 5. Pews, 1778-1887 6. Photographs and Multimedia, 1911-1993 7.

 Acquisitions Information

The records of St. Michael’s Church in Bristol, R.I., were deposited in the Special Collections Department of the University of Rhode Island Library in two deposits in 2005 and 2006.

Before the transfer, the majority of the documents and other materials were kept in the parish vault. A later accession was recieved from the home of a former rector, Delbert Tildesley.

The bulk of the collection was processed in 2005. A second accession, which includes the whole of series XIII, as well as other assorted papers, was processed in 2007.

There are bequests, protests, and founding documents from the earliest days of the church, and a number of documents that attempt to tell the church’s history. The most comprehensive is Two Hundred Years of St. Michael’s Rectors, written by Canon Albert C. Larned and published in 1957. However, the Early Records series should be consulted for vestry and parish meeting minutes from 1724-1963.

Series II, Vestry and Committees, 1923-1992, contains the files of the church’s organizing body, the vestry, and the various committees that reported to the vestry: the Altar Guild, the Brotherhood, the Boys Club, the Ivy Guild, the Ladies Benevolent Society, the Music and Stewardship committees, the Women’s Auxiliary, and the Women’s Guild. It also includes the files of the Bristol Female Charitable Society, a local women's organization. The annual reports for these committees can also be found in the Parish Meeting Reports in the Subject Series.

Among the many committees that reported to the vestry, the most notable and long-standing is the Ladies Benevolent Society. This society raised money for mission projects through initiatives like the Annual Bazaar and the United Thank Offering. It formed in 1822 as the Missionary Society, and after reorganizing and changing its name twice, it settled on the Ladies Benevolent Society in 1849. The society began calling itself the Episcopal Church Women in 1970, and in 1994, it merged with the Ivy Guild, a social organization for young church women, and became the Women’s Guild.

This series also contains a quantity of Building Committee files. The building project began with the formation of the Committee to Study Church School Needs in 1963. From 1964 to 1967, the committee was known as the Committee to Study Present and Future Needs of the Church School, and the committee members decided it was time to construct a multi-purpose building. In 1967, the Church Expansion Committee invited bidders and contracted with Rumstick Associates. In 1968, the Building Committee officially came into being, and committee chairman William Bowen transferred the Building Fund to church treasurer Reynolds Northrup. Thus there are also building fund files in the Financial Documents series. The Memorial Committee, organized in 1968, collected donations for the new building and drew up plans for a memorial plaque.

The vestry files contain copious notes on church property, maintenance, and leadership, covering a range of projects, from new buildings to searches for rectors and curates. It also includes the “Pooled Funds” accounts from 1955 to 1968. Starting in 1968, the funds were managed by Standish, Ayer, and Wood, and became known as the endowment fund (See Financial Documents).

Series III, Rector’s Papers, 1815-1992, contains the letters, reports, and personal papers of some of the parish’s rectors. For information about the rectors, see the Subject Series. The vast majority of the files in this series belonged to Canon Delbert W. Tildesley, who was rector from 1954 to 1982. He was a member of the Diocesan Standing Committee, and many of his files are related to diocesan business, while his letters and annual reports are a valuable source of information on the church’s more recent history. Tildesley's files also contain a small number of records from before his tenure at St. Michael's as well as research materials for his comprehensive history of the church, The Bells of St. Michael's (1989). While most of these materials are copies or created by Tildesley, included with his research notes, in folder 189, are seven original letters on the topic of the history of St. Michael's bells, dating from 1846 to 1879. For Tildesley's sermons, see Series XIII. This series also contains the sermons and correspondence of the Rev. George Lyman Locke. An unexpected item found among the papers is a 1946 report on prison conditions by a committee which included Canon Anthony Parshley.

Arrangement

The majority of the series is arranged alphabetically by name and topic and chronologically within each folder. A second accession of Tildesley papers are arranged in the same manner, but these files are appended to the end of the first Tildesley accession, beginning at folder 162.

Series IV, Parish Registers, 1721-1986, contains lists of communicants, marriages, baptisms, and burials. Most of the lists are bound in leather-backed volumes, but there are some loose parish lists and letters of transfer as well.

Though the original registers from 1721 to 1804 are intact, this series also includes two transcriptions of them: one made by the Rev. George Lyman Lock in 1908 and one probably made in 1938, at the same time as a chronology of the church was compiled. The original registers from 1819-1825, however, were severely damaged by a fire at the Freeman’s Bank in 1825. Thus the transcription of those registers is all that remains.

Arrangement

The series is arranged alphabetically by church and type of register and chronologically within folders.

Series V, Pews, 1778-1887, contains pew deeds and plans, as well as letters related to assessment collection. There are some very early deeds from the Congregational Church, where the members of St. Michael’s worshiped before they started their own church. However, most of the deeds are for St. Michael’s and most were issued between 1858 and 1861, when the church was being rebuilt after a fire. The church ceased to collect assessments on the pews in 1942.

Series VII, Financial Documents, 1800-1993, contains cash books, treasurer’s books, and other church ledgers. Some of the church’s financial documents, such as the budgets and finance committee reports, are actually found in the vestry chronological files, and the annual financial reports are part of the parish meeting reports in the Subject Series. Also, documents from the building fund are in the Vestry and Committees Series. However, this series does contain monthly financial reports, insurance information, and various receipts, as well as audits and endowment account information from 1968. (Before that, the endowment was called the “Pooled Funds;” it was managed by the vestry, and statements were kept in the vestry chronological files.)

Some of the bulletins also contain church announcements, and there are special bulletins for holidays, dedications, anniversaries, and ordinations. Forms, drafts, and working copies of the bulletins are included at the end of the series. The church newsletter, the Parish Monthly, was brought back briefly in 1968 for the 275th anniversary of the parish, but was not published regularly after 1932.

Series X, Family Papers, 1800-1935, contains the letters and papers of high-profile Bristol families with connections to St. Michael’s Church: the DeWolfs, the Fales, the Griswolds, the Norrises, the Pecks, and the Sayers. The DeWolf brothers, sons of Captain Marc Anthony DeWolf, were wealthy slave traders in early 19th century Bristol as well as prominent members of St. Michael’s church. The marriage of John DeWolf and Sylvia Griswold united two important families, as Sylvia was the daughter of Bishop Alexander Viets Griswold.

The Fales were steady supporters of the church in 1850s. In fact, Lydia Fales French donated her home to the church in 1858, and it has been used as the rectory ever since. Samuel Norris was a representative of Remington Fire Arms who secured a number of important European contracts, and his wife, Isabella Dimand, was a great-great-granddaughter of Marc Anthony DeWolf.

The other families included in the collection were members of the St. Michael’s congregation, and sometimes even ministers. The Rev. Francis Peck, whose letters are included along with those of his siblings, served as assistant to the Rev. Bristed for some months in 1837. See the Subject Series for biographical information about some of these individuals.

Series XI, Early Records, 1724-1963, contains four bound volumes of vestry and parish meeting minutes, one bound copy of selected minutes made in 1858, and one photocopy of the 1858 copy. These volumes also include audits and transcribed letters, memorials, and bequests. They provide the most comprehensive history of the early days of the church, and, because they include letters of condolence, congratulation, thanks, and complaint, they also provide glimpses into the lives of the people who made up the congregation.
