Notes

2007-01-30 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was both the first organ for the parish - which was built in 1761 - and the first organ in Cambridge. Its pipes were melted down to make bullets during the Revolutionary War. It was replaced in 1845 when the Sr. Warden presented the church with a new instrument by Geo. Stevens. Its subsequent disposition is unknown. -Database Manager
