Chapel Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Site #7 on Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail
About: Church records identify many black people in early Portsmouth. The terse entries tantalize. An example is an 1807 entry in the St. John's records: "Contribution Xmas day, Venus - a Black -- $1." This was a Christmas gift from the church to Venus.
