and was ordained as an evangelist in Charleston, South Carolina, Jan. 3, 1821. In the year following he came to the Reserve, and settled at Ravenna, where he continued over six years. And from thence he was called to "fill the chair of professor of theology, in the Western Reserve College; subsequently was appointed president, and Feb. 1831, inaugurated. By reason of ill health in the summer of 1833, he was released from the duties of his office for six months, by the trustees. In August, he visited his brother at Brain- tree, Mass., where he was to close his days. His health rapidly de- clined, and on the 15th of Sept., Sabbath morning, at half past one o'clock, his spirit took its upward flight. The principal characteris- tics of President Storrs, were singleness of aim ; resoluteness of pur- pose ; and persverance in effort. His name will ever be associated with the interests of religion, benevolence, and learning at the West, and his departure is deeply to be deplored." Mr .Nash is son of the late Rev. J. Nash of Middlefield, Mass. He studied at Andover The- ological Seminary two years, and left the Seminary by reason of ill health. He came to the Reserve and was settled over this church in 1829.

In looking over the above table, the reader will be surprised to find the Presbyteries containing so large a proportion of Congregational or partly Congregational Churches. The only explanation of this phenomenon is found in the adaptation of the Plan of Union to satisfy and harmonize people and churches attached to the two polities.
The following statistics are taken from the Western Reserve Register, published at Hudson, by Sawyer, Ingersoll & Co., in 1852; they are not perfect, but give a nearly correct view of the Churches at that time :
