“The Protestant and Herald”
December
1, 1842
“Whilst spending an evening . . . . with Orlando
Brown, Esq., . . . he showed us a call presented
to his grandfather, ninety years ago. . . . We also present the names which are
appended to the original document, because we recognize in them the ancestors,
as we suppose, of nearly one tenth of all the Presbyterians of our
acquaintance. . .”
“A Call from the United Congregation of
Providence and Timber Ridge in Augusta County,
To be presented to Mr. John Brown at the Revd. Presbytery of New Castle
when sitting in August 1753. . . .”
