-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Charles Marck's recent note contained updated information--the communion service Ninian donated being extant much more recently than I had known- -and I've updated my DB entry as follows: Presbyterian Church. Ninian was first Presbyterian elder in North America; generously gave land to church near what is now Upper Marlboro. This land was on Largo, which he deeded to his son Ninian Jr (B-NIN-1) prior to his son's death in 1710-1711 (Major, 215). In 1707 gave communion service, parts of which still existed in 1935, and in 1976, the church now being the Hyattsville Presbyterian Church. (Charles F. Stein, History of Calvert Co., MD, By the author, 1976). Deponent in various court cases in PG Co, 1702-1715 (Ref PC:492, 502, 625, 573, 750, 875; PL:42, 49, 54, 274; Peden:10)
