Some of the papers of the 1799 minister,REV JOHN EVANS FINLEY,are in the LYMAN DRAPER papers. Perhaps the 'Ky Papers" but I think it's the "WM PRESTON and VA Papers'.He preached several years to the WHITE OAK congregation, and,I think to one in Mason Co,Ky. Rev SHANE went about Ky interviewing old-timers about 1830's and preserving records. Part of his interviews were sold to LYMAN DRAPER to become the most interesting portion of his "KY PAPERS". The rest of REV SHANE'S collection found it's way to the PRESBYTERIAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY,PHILADELPHIA, WHERE ABOUT 1990 WAS PUBLISHED A BOOK OF ABSTRACTS OF THE SHANE PAPERS. What I am saying is that the Presbyterian Historical Soc in Philadelphia holds some of the earliest Presbyterin records of ADAMS and Brown Co,Oh,and Mason Co,Ky.
