The facts are stated precisely as we have received them, and the account is corroborated by another letter, received by another gentleman of this town, on this subject. The Reverend John Watson (who had presided over the Academy at Canonsburg in Washington County) and the Reverend John Moorhead, were married, by the Reverend Mr. Marquis, to two daughters of the Reverend John McMillin on the same day. Each of these gentlemen had a child born to him on the same day. They both labored for a considerable time under a consumptive complaint, both died on the same day, viz. December 1st, 1802, were both interred on the same day and in the same grave. And the same minister who had married them delivered a very affecting sermon on the occasion. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
