http://www.fortklock.com/rcaextinct.htm BUFFALO Three Reformed churches at Buffalo have become extinct. The church of 1838 had for pastors, Rev. John Beattie (1838-1844), and Rev. William A. V. V. Mahon, who served it in a missionary capacity for two or three years (1844-1856). Mr. Beattie came to Buffalo to supply the church here after a twenty-five years pastorate at New Utrecht. Later he was installed pastor. He died January 22, 1864. Mr. Mahon died while in the professorate at New Brunswick, November 3, 1892, A second organization at Buffalo was the Holland church of 1855, whose pastors were Revs. W. C. Wust (1855-1856), A. K. Kasse (1861-1864), and Henry K. (1876-1879). Mr. Wust went to a Holland church in Rochester (1856-1864), then to the Lodi, N. J. Holland church, where after a few years he was suspended, but preached to an independent church until 1878, when he returned to Holland. Mr. Kasse died while pastor of the Second Holland church of Paterson, N. J., in 1874. Mr. Boer is at the Siuox Centre, Ia. church. A third effort at Buffalo was an English speaking church, founded in 1855, located on Delaware avenue, of which the only pastor was the Rev. John L. See (1854-1861), who, later became Secretary of the Board of Education. He died June 1, 1892. The present Buffalo church is in the Rochester Classis, tho for many years a member of Montgomery Bobbie DuFault

HISTORY OF UNITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Established 1764 TRIANGLE, N.C. http://www.unitypres.org/html/history.html This is L-103 I believe Excerpt from the above JOHN BEATTIE John Beattie was the first pale face to set foot on the soil of Lincoln Country. His first land grant bears the date July 17, 1749. He settled on the west bank of the Catawba River. The shoal at this point, over which the river tumbled with a gentle murmur, formed a splendid ford. It was at this ford the bold pioneer crossed and it still bears his name, Beattie's' Ford. A catalogue of those who later became his neighbors would form a long list of Scots-Irish names. Among them may be mentioned Abernethy, Alexander, Armstrong, Barnett, Barkley, Baldridge, Bell, Black, Bond, Cherry, Connell, Connor, Cox, Cunningham, Davis, Eaton, Goodson, Hudson, Hunter, Hutchison, Ingle, Johnston, Kincaid, Kerr, Kox, Little, Long, Lowe, Luckey, McCall, McCombs, McConnell, McCorkle, McGhee, McMinn, and so on to the end of the alphabet. Among his German and English neighbors who came at an early date are the following names: Ballard, Burch, Hager, Howard, Killian, King, Nixon, Proctor, Rankin, Sherrill and Womack. Further excerpt: John Beattie had two sons, Thomas and Abel C., and one daughter, the wife of Matthew Armstrong. John Beattie's will bears the date January 5, 1774. Thomas Beattie, son of John, died in 1787 leaving three sons, John, Thomas, and William. The different land grants to the Beatties were approximately 3,000 acres. Part of this later came into the possession of Alfred M. Burton and Robert H. Burton. They were both elegant gentlemen and learned lawyers. Their dust reposes in Unity graveyard beside that of their kinsman, Hutchings G. Burton, once governor of the State of North Carolina.

He came to Canada about 1908 and after working at several jobs on the 18th of March 1911, he joined the Police Force along with a chum Bill Greengrove. Beattie became Constable #141 and Greengrove was #142. Only twenty seven days later John Beattie was electrocuted at the scene of a fire on Main St. at Water Avenue.

I was just noticing that for some strange reason I have the same James on 1850 census in both lineage102 and L-188 so right now I need to look at it and see what the problem is. Does anyone have access to the Butler co., OH book: Title Early Butler County, Ohio, will abstracts, 1803-1847 Stmnt.Resp. Anne Smyth Hacking Authors Hacking, Anne Smyth (Main Author) I would really like to see the abstracts of those early wills and the Jeremiah who died later. As long as the book exists it is not filmed and I cannot order the wills.

This is not my line though I do have a John and Emma Bettey in L361 - I thought perhaps someone might find it interesting it is from the Makaroff Pioneers website at http://drftr.users2.50megs.com/makaroffpioneers1.htm JOHN BEATTIE, with his wife Emma Fox and their six children George, Wilfred, John, Maude, Edna and Evea, moved from Udney, Ontario to Douglas, Manitoba in the spring of 1905. During the two years of their stay there, Mr. Beattie was engaged in cattle shipping and also in a carpentry business. In 1908 he moved his family to Roblin where he operated a livery business, but a year later traded the business for the Bert McGillivry homestead and moved to NW 12-27-29. This land was actually situated in the Deepdale school district, but to enable the Makaroff district to qualify for school grants, the Beattie children were invited to attend the Makaroff School. Another son, Isaac, was born on this farm and two years later, in 1914 John Beattie purchased Sec.15-27-29 just southwest of the village of Makaroff. This became their permanent home and while working with his oats one day, which contained a considerable amount of wild oats, Mr. Beattie noticed that the wild oats stuck to his work socks. After a time of considerable deep thinking he held up a flannelette blanket, threw some oats up against it and behold, the wild oats stuck to the blanket - separating the wild oats from the tame. Thus was the beginning of what would later develop into the Beattie Blanket Mill. At this point it may be noted that John Beattie's son Wilfred, in 1943 constructed and patented the Beattie Wild Oat Grain Cleaner and later, the Beattie Wind Cleaner. John Beattie continued with his mixed farming until the time of his death in 1940 at the age of 78. His wife Emma predeceased him by just 53 days, at the age of 69; they are both resting in the Makaroff Cemetery. The Beattie family did their share in developing the community and is one of the few who have descendants still living in the district. Maude (see T.W. Pound above). Edna (see Walter "Tom" Boyce). Evea (see Harvey Boyce). George married Leola Westfall of Esterville, Iowa. They lived in various places in the west and in the U.S.A. but returned to the Makaroff district to farm NW 10-27-29 for several years before retiring to Oak Point, Manitoba. WILFRED BEATTIE married Helen Low of Togo; her father Alexander Low, a blacksmith by trade, had come from Scotland in 1899 and her mother Helen Lindsay had arrived from Scotland in 1904. The Lows had married at Rossburn in 1905 and by way of Grandview and then Roblin, settled at Togo. Wilfred and Helen Beattie farmed SW 15-27-29 and the west half of 17-27-29. Wilfred served as school trustee, member of the Pool Elevator and Church boards and the rink committee. Helen, a member of the U.C.W, held office as president on occasion. Wilfred died in 1985 and Helen in 1995, both are resting in the Makaroff Cemetery. They had four daughters and one son: Wilma, a teacher, married William Cowling and made their home at Crandall, Manitoba (Wilma died in 1970); Jean, an x-ray technician, married George Robertson, lived in Dauphin, went into social work and retired in Brandon; Evelyn, a teacher, married C. E. Rheaume and made their home in Portage la Prairie; Roberta, a nurse, married R. Kaspruk and lived at Eden, Manitoba. Wilfred and Helen's son Douglas and his wife Geraldine remained on his parent's family farm. JOHN BEATTIE, born 1905 at Udley, Ontario was only one year old when his parents moved west to Douglas, and shortly after to Roblin where they ran a livery stable. "Johnnie" was four when they traded the business for the Bert McGillivry homestead at Deepdale and nine years of age when they moved to Makaroff. He attended the Makaroff Consolidated School and as a young man went to work in B.C. In 1929 he returned to Makaroff and purchased the Richard Craven farm SE 30-27-29. In the meanwhile, Kathleen Levins of Crandall, Manitoba had come to teach at Makaroff. Two years after Johnnie's return from B.C. he and Kay were married in Brandon. Little firewood was available in the area by this time; it had to be hauled from north of Togo. This was in the days before municipal graders. Farmers using V-plows and blowers on their tractors kept the roads open. The group in their area included farmers: Johnnie Beattie, Sam Relky, Adolph Hischabett, Pete Nabe, Frank Grundy, and Evert Boyce. In 1940 Kay returned to teaching and in 1963 transferred to the Roblin Collegiate from which she retired in 1970. She had taught school for a total of 36 years and was presented an Honorary Life Membership of Manitoba Teachers' Society in 'appreciation of many services to the community of education'. Johnnie and Kay raised three daughters and one son and retired to Togo in 1974. Their daughter Donna, a teacher, married Harold Nabe (see Peter Nabe) and made their home in Togo; Ilene married Peter Penniston of Togo, both became teachers at Stony Mountain and raised two sons, Don and Jack; Beryl, who had been with the Royal Bank since 1957, married Ross Poulsen, an accountant with Inco at Thompson, Manitoba. Clifford worked for a year on a ranch in Alberta and a year in construction in Calgary before returning to work as a P. F. R. A. rider at the community pasture. He later worked at Bell Brothers Garage in Togo. In 1963 he purchased the McKnight farm at Grand Narrows but didn't take up full time farming until 1968 when he purchased the farm of Pete Nabe at Makaroff. In 1981 he married Marg Delaney of Maple, Ontario. ISAAC BEATTIE, the youngest child of John and Emma Beattie, was the only one of their children born at Makaroff. Known as "Ike", he attended the Makaroff Consolidated School and remained on his parent's farm NW 15-27-29. He married Muriel Boyce, the daughter of Russell and Catherine Boyce of Deepdale. Russell Boyce born 1884 in Ontario had moved with his family to the Neepawa district and later, in 1906 to the Silverwood district. Catherine Davies, born 1892 in Wales where she trained as a teacher, came to Canada in 1912 to join her parents J. D. and Margaret Davies who had emigrated earlier. Catherine taught school at Silverwood for two years before marrying Russell Boyce. Their daughter, Muriel, married Ike Beattie at Roblin in 1935 and moved into his parent's farm home at Makaroff, where they remained until their retirement. They had two sons and one daughter: Earl, Yvonne and Lyle. Both Ike and Muriel were very involved in the Makaroff community and enjoyed curling. Ike, on occasion, also traveled to Clear Lake to golf with friends. On retirement from the farm, they moved into the new home they had built in Roblin - where they celebrated their 65th Anniversary in the year 2000. Muriel died on Christmas day, 2001and is resting in the Makaroff Cemetery. Their son Earl married Marlene Dobson in 1958, made their home in Flin Flon and had three children: Lori Ann, Clark and Diane. Marlene, daughter of R&M Dobson of Killarney, had come to Makaroff with Elsie and Dave Clark, agent for Manitoba Pool Elevators, when her mother was ill with tuberculosis. She attended Makaroff Consolidated School and later, Normal School in Winnipeg, teaching for a time at Grandview. Earl and Marlene returned from Flin Flon in 1973 to a farm at Roblin where they raised Herefords and Marlene resumed teaching. Yvonne married Thomas MacQuarrie of Winnipeg in 1970, resided in Regina and Winnipeg and had one daughter, Sabrina. Lyle, a graduate of University of Manitoba, married Marion Hamblin of Morris, MB in 1971. They had two daughters, Heather and Colleen, and made their home at Souris, MB where Lyle taught for many years at the Souris High School. Later, they moved into Brandon.

This is one of the records that Donald Caldwell Beatty, Jr. had for Line 82. Don was born September 14, 1923 and unfortunately I lost his date of death. He probably did more research on the Pennsylvania Beatty/Beaty families than all of the rest of us put together. His cousin, friend and protagonist, Jim Beaty INDIANA COUNTY, PA.

Beatty Cousins, This is much too large of a file to copy thie entire story, but it is unbelievable that I found some of the ancestors of my father's father (GRIFFIS/GRIFFES) in the same area of the country as the ancestors of my mother's mother (BEATTY/BEATY)! There are no BEATTY names in Huges Station, but if anyone wants the link to this story, I have included it: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/cyc/491.htm Here is the link to other Butler County sites: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/cyc/ David Griffis was born in 1758, and his father Daniel was born 09 April 1737, Litchfield, CT and married to Sarah "Abigail" Bennett. Daniel was a brother of my 6th-great-grandfather, James Griffis, Sr. Lois (Griffes) Kortering,L-34 & L-134 HUGHES STATION Hughes's Station is also on the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis Railroad, and was named after Joshua HUGHES, who owns the land on which the town is built, and was the first postmaster of the place. He was born there Jun 6, 1822, and on Dec 6, 1847, married Miss Mary Ann LEGG. He owns a good farm, on which is a fine country residence, and is a representative citizen. Early among the first arrivals in this part of the township was Cornelius MURPHY, the father of Peter MURPHY. He settled near here as early as 1800, and lived till a comparatively recent period. Among the oldest settlers of the county now living is Daniel GRIFFIS. His father, David GRIFFIS, who was a Revolutionary soldier, subsequently moved to the banks of Shady River, VIrginia, where, after clearing up a farm, he found the title to his lands worthless and left, going first to the Ohio River, where he took passage on a flat-boat for Cincinnati. He here bought a dumpling of a pony, a small pair of oxen, and a rickety two-wheeled vehicle, and after loading up all his effects made out for the wilderness. After reaching a point about a mile north of Princeton his cart broke down. He then made his way alone to Lasourdsville-leaving his swife and infant son, Daniel GRIFFIS (born Aug 9, 1800,) then but nine months old, where he stopped. At Lasourdsville he found Abram FREEMAN, who persuaded him to settle where he broke down. He then went to Cincinnati, and made arrangements with Judge SYMMES for land that is now a part of Daniel GRIFFIS's farm, and here it was he settled and opened up the first blacksmith shop in the township. Mr. GRIFFIS had but few neighbors. Peter MURPHY lived near, as also did Brice VIRGIN. James MCLEAN then lived where Luman GRIFFIS now resides. David GRIFFIS erected a pole cabin, and in this house Daniel GRIFFIS lived to manhood. He went to school when not large enough to pick brush. This was a mile and a half south-east of Princeton, the first log school-house in the twp. There being no roads at that time, the trees were blazed to indicate the direction to and from school. The second school-house cabin was built near Lewis MURPHY's, on the hill, and was made of buckeye logs. John HOLDEN then lived on the west side of Gregory's Creek, one mile and a half south of the old Lebanon road. He came prior to 1797. Thomas FISHER was the second teacher in the twp. Mr. GRIFFIS had two sons who were preachers, one of them now being dead; one who is a dentist in Hamilton, and two farmers. Peter MURPHY is the son of Cornelius MURPHY and Eleanora WINDSOR, now both dead. His parents were early settlers of Liberty Twp, and moved there when Cincinnati was but a mere village, and the pike now leading from Cincinnati was but a mere village, and the pike now leading from Cincinnati to Dayton was nothing but an Indian trail. Mr. MURPHY volunteered in the War of 1812, but was wounded in the knee with a tomahawk while drilling, and was discharged. Peter MURPHY was born in Liberty Twp, on the 1st of October, 1820, and was married in 1844, to Cyrena VAN GORDEN, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth VAN GORDEN. She was born in March, 1820. They have six children. Sallie Maria, the eldest, was born in 1845; Lewis D. was born in 1847; Cora E., in 1851; Willie E., in 1857; Harry, in 1859; and Clarence, in 1862. Sallie Maria, Cora E., and Willie E. live in Preble County, and the rest in Liberty Twp. He was sheriff of Butler County from 1851 to 1855, four years, and was State sena! tor from 1871 to 1873, in the Butler and Warren district.

Beaty/Beatty Cousins, I jjust found again one of the sites that I had found during those few nights before and after this past January 7th full moon period, when I connected with the Beatys of L-134. I could not believe my eyes, that I was seeing the Beatty/Beaty name of my maternal grandmother and the Griffes/Griffis name of my father, and yet, knowing that both families were my families! Which Beatty is this John, who had a "Beatty's Tavern," a son named John R. Beatty, and his wife was Nancy (Stewart) Beatty. Their daughter, Mary Ann Beatty, married Scotsman John McClean after his first wife died. Mary Ann and John McClean had a son named Lewis. John Beatty came in 1797, and "He had come with his father David BEATTY to Port Union, in 1795. The father died soon after this event, a very old man, and was buried at Tylersville, the second burial in the township. Very interesting, and I see the names Peter and David Voorhees in this story, too. Which Beatty line is this, does anybody know? Lois Kortering L-34 & L-134. Liberty Township: Pages 486 - 489 Next page | Butler County Ohio | Cyclopeadia index page | Previous page The highly cultivated farms, the good houses, the many pikes and other improvements in this township speak favorably of the thrift and enterprise of its citizens and the character of its agriculture. Of the early settlers in this section of the county may be mentioned the names of John NELSON, John BEATTY, David WILLIAMSON, Ephraim BAKER, Thomas HUNT, John MORROW, Duran WHITTLESEY, Thomas KYLE, David GRIFFIS, Cornelius MURPHY, the ELLIOTTs, HUGHESes, VOORHEESes, LOWERYs, KAINs, HOWARDs, and others. The principal towns are Princeton, Bethany, Jericho, and Huntsville; none having attained much size, nor being in importance what they were years ago. When all was a wilderness, and before any of the sturdy oaks had been felled, John NELSON moved into the township, and cleared the first farm. This was where Jasper ROSE lives now, and prior to 1796. John BEATTY came in 1797, and found him snugly fixed in his pole cabin. He had come with his father David BEATTY to Port Union, in 1795. The father died soon after this event, a very old man, and was buried at Tylersville, the second burial in the township. A child of MCMAHON's was buried here prior to that time, and was the first event of that kind. John BEATTY had two sons, John R. and James, and one daughter, afterwards Mrs. STEWART. John R. BEATTY married Miss Nancy STEWART, and raised a family of seven children, all of whom are dead now but Mrs. 'Squire MCLEAN. Mr. John BEATTY settled just above where Bethany is now, and his house was probably the second in the township. He subsequently started the "Beatty Tavern, " which was also the first house of that kind in the township. This tavern was carrried on for a long period of time; first before his death by Mr. BEATTY himself, then by his widow, and subsequently by his son, John R. BEATTY. David WILLIAMSON next came to this part of the township and settled on a farm adjoining that of John BEATTY, building his house where 'Squire MCLEAN's house stands. This was in 1798, and was the first house built in what was afterwards Bethany. His brother, Peter WILLIAMSON, had come just previous to this time, and settled in the north-east part of the township. Peter and David VOORHEES came this year also, but settled in Huntsville. William LOWERY came prior to 1800. His brother, Samuel LOWERY, dug the grave for John BEATTY in 1816. The first marriage in the township occurred Dec 15, 1798. The parties contracting were Miss Mary HOWARD, of NJ, and Samuel KAIN. Mr. KAIN bought land just above Bethany, wher Drake now lives. John MORROW was settled on land now owned by David SWEARINGEN, before 1803. His brother, Jeremiah MORROW, was governor of OH. John MORROW was the first justice of the peace in Liberty Twp and served in that capacity for 18 years. He was followed by "Squire MCLEAN, who held the office 24 years, and following him was Silas WILLIAMSON, who is, and has been, 'squire for 15 yrs. Each of these 3 men have been peace-makers in the strict sense of that term. Silas WILLIAMSON's grandfather, David WILLIAMSON, married Mary VANDYKE in 1787, emigrated from PA to KY in Jun 1797, and from KY to OH, settling on Section 14, of this Twp, in 1798. He had 4 sons: George, b 1788; John, father of Silas, b 1790; David V., b 1795, and Peter, b 1801. 'Squire WILLIAMSON has also been twp clerk, elected in 1865, and held the office many years. He was married to Christiana WHITE in 1843. John MCLEAN was b in 1810. In 1843 he married Miss Sarah CLAYTON. She died in 1847. In 1850 he married Miss Mary Ann BEATTY, daughter of John R. BEATTY. Bethany was laid off into lots, four by eight rods, in 1822, by Samuel LOWERY. Five of these lots were surveyed by Nesbit, and were on the east side of the street. A man by the name of CRAWFORD built a house just opposite where 'Squire MCLEAN lives now, and kept a grocery; it was a small affair at first, there not being ten dollars' worth of goods in his house. The first blacksmith's shop was in the woods at that time, and just opposite where Mr. LEGG now lives. It was kept by Mr. BUSBY. He was followed by Mr. GARRETT, and he in turn by Peter C. DILLEY. This was before 1822. John MCLEAN, of Bethany, is descended from the MCLEANs of Scotland. After the rebellion of 1715, a portion of that clan emigrated to Ireland, and after a considerable sojourn, to America. They settled in York, now Adams County, in PA. The MCLEAN who was the ancestor of John MCLEAN, of Bethany, had seven sons, all surveyors. Their names were Archibald, Moses, William, Samuel, John, James, and Alexander. Each and all of them took an active part in our Revolutionary struggle. Archibald and Moses were both members of the PA Legislature, and Moses was also a captain in the Eleventh Regiment of the PA line. Samuel MCLEAN, the grandfather of John MCLEAN, of Bethany, moved to Fayette County, PA, and left two sons, William and John. The latter remained in Fayette County, while the former removed to Butler County, in 1808. He was a farmer, and had six sons and three daughters. His sons were Samuel, b Dec 24, 1799; Elisha P., b Mar 3, 1802; Stephen, Jan 7, 1804; William, Dec 21, 1805; ! elizabeth, Sep 25, 1807, the widow of William GOUDY; John, b Feb 13, 1810; James, b Sep 25, 1811; Sophia, b Dec 8, 1813; and Sarah Ann, Apr 13, 1816. Samuel, Elisha P., Stephen, William, James, and Sophia are dead. Mr. MCLEAN came to Butler County in 1808, and settled on Seven-Mile, Wayne Twp, where he purchased a hundred acres of land. He came down the Ohio River in a flat-boat. He traded his farm in PA for castings and sold them in Cincinnati, and with their proceeds purchased here. He died in Union Twp, Sep 12, 1824, and his wife died Sep 27, 1834, in Springfield Twp, Hamilton County. His son, John MCLEAN, was born Feb 13, 1810, in Wayne Twp, and married first, Jan 3, 1843, Sarah R. CLAYTON, b in Liberty May 5, 1813, and died Sep 19, 1847. They had son child, Anna Isabella, b Nov 3, 1844. She died Jun 3, 1846. He married second, Nov 20, 1850, Mary Ann BEATTY, daughter of John R. BEATTY and Nancy(STEWART) BEATTY. SHe was born in Liberty, Dec 29, 1814. By her he had three children, one being now alive, Lewis. He was born Oct 18, 1852, and is married. John A., b Jan 7, 1855, died an infant; and William C., b Mar 6, 1860, died Aug 5, 1881. Mr. MCLEAN is one of the most prominent citizens of Liberty Twp. He has held several twp positions, and, in fact, has always held some twp office. He was appointed assistant revenue assessor in 1865, an office he has held two terms; has been justice of the peace for eight terms, omitting one term, or a total of 24 years, from 1836 till 1864. He was also postmaster at Huntsville, and is at present notary public, serving his sixth term. He has acted from 1864 till the present time without interruption. He is a Mason and Odd Fellow both, but of late years has not attended. He held the office of recording secretary in the Odd Fellows. His uncle, Colonel Alexander MCLEAN, was out in the Revolutionary War, being a colonel of frontier rangers. He also served in MCINTOSH's campaing of 1780. He was also one of the surveyors engaged with MASON and DIXON in running the division line between PA, VA, and MD, in 1766 and 1767, and in 1782 and 1783 he, in connection with Joseph NEVILLE, ca! rried out the southern boundary from where MASON and DIXON stopped at the Indian warpath. Mr. Samuel KAIN carried on wagon-making for many years, beginning as early as 1823 or 1824. We read of the KAIN wagons receiving the first premiums in the Butler County Agricultural Society. On Oct 13, 1836, Mr. KAIN received three dollars premium on the best wagon manufactured. The shop was afterwards turned into a buggy and carriage factory for the manufacturing of the Kain harrows. Doctors STEPHENS, Samuel WITHROW (a steam doctor), CASLEY, and ARMSTRONG were the first physicians. The first brick house in Bethany was built by Peter WILLIAMSON, in 1839. It stood near where the Presbyterian Church now is. The next brick structure was the first brick house erected for David LEE, in 1841, in Jericho. The brick was burned and the building erected by 'Squire McLEAN. 'Squire McLEAN carried on brickmaking for a period of five years, and during that time burned a million of brick. He became the proprietor of the first saw-mill in Jericho, in 1850, and conducted it for 8 years. He sold the mill to Benjamin BOYD, who finally transferred it to other parties, and it was by them taken down and removed to Lebanon. The BEATTY Tavern was the principal stopping-place for travelers, but there were other houses, also, subsequently. Mr. WILLIAMSON had a good tavern for many years, as also did Robert CARTER. The amount of travel was enormous. Old residents say that it was not uncommon to see four and six horse teams, a dozen at a time, stopping over night in this place. Houses of entertainment were along the highways every few miles, and necessarily so, to accommodate the traveling public. As soon as the railroads sprang up the hotels went down. The mail was carried, prior to 1834, by Dr. STEPHENS, on horseback, from Brookville to Lebanon. Abner ROSS had the contract also, and sometimes went with his oxen, making the round-trip in one week. He went by the way of Lasourdsville and Hamilton, to Brookville, IN, and would return by the way of Hamilton, Princeton, and Huntsville to Lebanon. Dr. STEPHENS had the office up to 1834, 'Squire McLEAN to 1841, at which time it was moved to Bethany. Peter WILLIAMSON then took it and kept it a long time. The Methodist people of this place formerly worshiped at private houses, and frequently met at the BEATTY Tavern, where they were always welcomed. The Rev. Samuel PARKER was presiding elder when the popular and youthful Rev. John STRANGE served as their first minister, in 1809. The first Methodist Episcopal Church building was a frame, erected in 1849, and is standing yet, doing duty as a town hall. The present brick was erected in 1876. The Bethany people attended the Huntsville Methodist Episcopal Church from 1817 up to 1849, at which time this Church was removed to Bethany. The Cumberland Presbyterians built here in 1875. The society has forty members.
