I'm researching 2 Episcopal parish's in the Lancaster-Gettysburg,Pa area 1758- 77. I've certainlt seen glebe's not adjacent to an church. In one case,1776,REV DANIEL Batwell was ministering churches at York Springs-home-,Carlisle, and YORK. In the 2nd, Rev Thomas Barton lived near the Lancaster church,and had Bangor church and Piqua sp? church in the distance. I think,at times,also St Gabrial's at Douglassville,Pa. [Antoni Sodowski is buried there]. These 2 ministers went within British military lines in 1778.
