Originally the parish vestry dealt with land processioning, care of the poor, apprenticeships and guardianships of orphans, levying of taxes, and other civil matters. Around 1785 the counties took over these functions and placed them under civil authorities. After that the parishes dealt only with church related matters.

Vestry minutes contain names of church officers, handling of church funds and properties, and other church related matters. The vestry met at the Grub Hill Church.
