The Pastor listed in the inscription was Reverend Joseph McKeen (1757-1807). He served the First Parish Church in Beverly from 1785 until 1802, when he left to become the first president of Bowdoin College in Maine.
The July 6, 1800 Church Minutes record: "The church voted to purchase four dishes for the communion table, and chose Deacon Benjamin Cleaves, Deacon Robert Roundy, & the pastor as a committee for the purpose."

These dishes are also recorded in a rare surviving bill from Paul Revere dated April 22, 1801, illustrated here.
In 1978, two of the four dishes--both marked Paul Revere--were sold privately by the church.
