Linda -

I'd recommend the Bostonian Society (Boston Historical Society). They have
quite a collection of historical records and artifacts on the city. In
fact, they are located just a short walk up Washington Street where the
church once stood.

If you're local - I'd highly recommend going to their library. You can
visit their web site at:
