John Rea was for more than forty years the stated pastor. Their beginning was small; a log-cabin, of not more than 20 feet square, was sufficient to contain all the members and all that attended with them. Their log-cabin being burnt down by accident, a large house, sufficient to contain a thousand worshippers, was raised in its room, and from fifty communing members they increased in a short time to nealy 400, and became at one period the largest Presbyterian church in the State. ---Old Edition

This appears to be the earliest documented travel into present day Harrison Co. by whitemen. But, probably white trappers had been there earlier.
