This list is compiled from the session minutes and church registers of the Hudsonville Presbyterian Church. Names are spelled as written in the records at the time an individual was originally received into membership. It should be remembered that in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many persons attended churches who, for various reasons, did not seek formal affiliation. Such persons were termed "adherents" of the congregation and enjoyed most privileges of membership. The names of these persons were not recorded. Membership records are not available for the years 1852-1923.

Names are listed as recorded in the sessional records. Bold face dates indicate the nineteenth century.

Abbreviations:
d. = died
dm. = dismissed
fr. = from
j. = joined
m. = married
rem. = removed
ret. = returned
stu. = student
