The Methodist Church records for Wells Township, Bradford County and Jackson Township, Tioga County have been located by Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Barnes of Mosherville. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to them for locating these records and for allowing me to spend hours at their home photocopying the records. The records begin in 1868 and include a list of members, probationers, marriages, and some deaths. The marriages are from Sept 1869 through Nov 1896. These records also include a small class at Pumpkin Hill in Rutland Township, Tioga County and a class at Webb Mills in the Town of Southport, Chemung County, New York. In the History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania by H. C. Bradsby it states that the Judson Hill Methodist Episcopal Church was "an appointment on Daggett's Mills charge. Rev. J. Merring, pastor. Old church burned, doubtless by an incendiary. Present house erected about 1865." If a house of worship existed in 1858 at Judson Hill it does not appear on the 1858 ma! p as do the two Presbyterian churches existing in the township at that time. The church is shown on the 1869 map. The church was located on the west side of Judson Hill Road in western central Wells across from the Judson Hill Cemetery. The church was closed prior to 1962 and long ago fell into a state of disrepair and neglect and the building no longer exists. Various classes were also held in Wells Township at Mosherville, Rowley Hill School, Knapp School (located at Ayers Corners near the present junction of Bird Creek Road and Ayers Road), and in southern Wells at or near Coryland (formerly Aspinwall). All of the probationers and members who attended these classes will be forthcoming once I get the information forwarded to Joyce and Joyce gets the information up on the site. The information is extensive and voluminous so it may take a few weeks. The marriages are done and I will be proofing those today. The Methodist Churches in Jackson Township, Tioga County were at Daggett, Jackson Center, and Millerton. All three of these churches still exist. The History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania by Brown relates the Daggett Church was built in 1854, Millerton in 1853-4, and Jackson Center in 1871. There were various classes at the Cotton School (Trowbridge), Maple Ridge, and the Everett School. All of this information will also be forthcoming. J. Kelsey Jones
