Presbyterian church was established ca. 1750; moved here in 1756. Served beginning 1778 by Rev. James Hall.

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.
