Boschong Subscribers, For those of you who are Facebook members, and have seen the scanned copies of the original records of Frieden's Reformed Church which Russell and I copied on one of our Virginia trips, and I recently posted to the FB page for the years 1825, 1826, 1827, 1833 and 1846, here is some additional information sent to me by Jim Funkhouser after I asked a question of him about the church's pastor. The church records we researched helps to prove the residency of those Bushongs and is a supliment to the census records and tax records made available on FamilySearch. This additional information explains where Frieden Church (Russell and I have been there) was located and tells you that Rev. Graves came from Union Town Maryland. None of this information was ever in the Bushong Bulletin. Gloria Neiger Bushong -------------------------------- >From Jim Funkhouser: “By 1815 the services of worship were transferred to the newly erected Hottle-Keller schoolhouse, located approximately one mile south of Mount Olive. In 1822 this property was deeded to Trustees representing both Lutheran and Reformed congregations.…the schoolhouse was removed and a more adequate building raised at the same site. The completed log structure was dedicated as Friedens Church, on the 14th of November 1824.”---William Edward Eisenberg, _The Lutheran Church in Virginia_ (Trustees of the Virginia Synod…: Roanoke, Va., 1967) p. 547.Record Book of Lutheran and Reformed Congregations of Frieden’s Church of Shenandoah in St. John’s United Church of Christ (Shenandoah County, Virginia) Records, 1821-1894, Library of Virginia microfilm, misc. reel 1148.p. 161825 June 19 Paid Jacob Hottel for Removing the Revd Diederich Graves from Union Town Md. to Woodstock in Va. $8.00p. 164Register of Reformed Communicants“The Holy Communion… was Administered by the Revd Diedeich Graves on the 13th day of November 1825”
