Thanks John, I wonder if he was in the area of PA where his son Adam was living. Don't we wish we could get a redo on all the early Church records -- and census and courthouse etc. Sadly today, there ware some who still do not see the value of all of "these old papers". I wonder what our descendants will find from our time. Motivates me to get something permanent created with all of my "old papers" because I sure don't plan on taking them to the grave with me -- many years from now, of course. Take care.

He was described in unfavorable terms by Rev. Muhlenberg for his attempts at being a pastor in Pennsylvania. Incidentally, he was removed by the elders at Hebron because he was unsatisfactory. Remember that he had little formal education. The records which he made at Hebron are atrocious.
