Custodial history
Zion Eveangelical Lutheran Church holds the distinction of being Vaughan's oldest church congregation, having its origins with the families of Jacob and Michael Keffer, Jacob Fischer (Fisher) and several others from Berlin, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The congregation was without a pastor and a church building until 1819, when Rev. Johann Dietrich Petersen arrived from Pennsylvania, and a building was erected on the third concession near Sherwood (today encompassed by Concord). The land on which the subject church was erected was deeded to the Trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran Church by Jacob Keffer. At the time of copying of the subject fonds, the congregation remained in existence. The place-name ultimately associated with the church was Concord, which came to encompass and supplant Sherwood in the late 19th-century.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of registers of congregational baptism, communion, confirmation, and death.
