What this does not establish
The records above establish that The Methodist Church and each entity named appear together in an official register, in the relationship that register records, on the date it records. They do not establish why any donation was made, why any contract was awarded, whether any one record was known to the people behind another, or that any record caused another. No causal inference is made on this page, and nothing here is a finding of any kind against anyone. A reported donation is a lawful, reported transaction; a contract award is a published notice; a seat is a seat.
The same name elsewhere in the records
A register spells another entry exactly as it spells this one. The graph keeps them apart because no register says they are the same, and a shared name is not evidence that they are.
