Saint Paul’s Church was organized in 1872, and served by itinerant minister Mosely Morris. In 1874 the parish erected its first church building. Three years later the vestry sold the structure and the parish was dissolved. In 1879 Deacon William H. Sparling revived Saint Paul’s with services in a rented hall. Within a few years the parish acquired this church, built by Congregationalists in 1856, and moved it to the present site. This is Greenville’s oldest church building.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
