The
New-school Presbyterian Church.—Some
time in 1837-38, a number of families separated from the First
Presbyterian Church, and were organized into a church with the above
title. The Rev. Philo C. Pettibone was the
first (and only) pastor, and remained two years.
The
church rapidly increased in numbers, until there were, altogether, about
200 members. It had occasional supplies, and labored hard to keep up its
existence; but, in a few years, the falling off was so great that it
finally disbanded, and the denomination is unknown in the borough at
present.
