Certificates represented include membership and appointment certificates, as well as a certificate (1827) regarding Peter, a black servant of Matthew Van Dyke, and a certificate (1837) indicating Lydia Van Dyke's eligibility for a government pension based on her husband's Revolutionary War service.
