APPENDIX.
Tradition and facts concerning the Patterson families of Lancaster County, Pa .- The writer has spent much time in the endeavor to ascertain the relationship between the Pattersons of Colerain, the Pattersons of Rapho and Donegal Townships, and James Patterson, the Indian trader ; without a doubt, they all originally came from Ireland, but correspondence with that country failed to elicit any information. The writer cannot find any authentic evidence of relationship between the Colerain and Donegal Pattersons. It is almost two hundred years since James Patterson, the Indian trader, is said to have come to this country ; that his son James settled somewhere in Juniata County, Pa., and that he is the progenitor of the Pattersons in that region.
Tradition says that James Patterson, the Indian trader, married Susanna Howard (probably a sister of Gordon Howard ). Their son, James Patterson, was a Captain in the Provincial service under Col. James Burd, and his home was in Mexico, on the Juniata. Soon after the death of James Patterson, the Indian trader (which occurred about 1736), his widow married Thomas Ewing, by whom she had two sons, James and John Ewing-James was a. General and John a Captain during the Revolution. After Thomas Ewing's death she married her third husband, Dr. John Connelly, by whom she had a son, Dr. John Connelly, the notorious Tory, who was imprisoned in Phila- delphia for his traitorous conduct towards the patriots in their struggle against Great Britain. The following evidence in relation to these statements is obtained from the Pennsylvania Archives, the Records of the Trustees of Donegal Church and Susanna Connelly's will, establishing the truth of some of these assumptions :
156
THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
"Letter of Dr. John Connelly to President Wharton, 1777," in which he says : "I herewith transmit your Excellency the obligations signed by my Brother who mistakenly struck out the words (and severally ) as judging it, rendering him liable for double the sum which he had entered into his recognizance. The mistake your Excellency will observe to be his from his letter which I beg leave also to send. JOHN CONNELLY."
Letter of James Ewing to Dr. John Connelly :
"Susquehanna, April 4th, 1777.
" Dear Brother : I have signed the bond agreeable to Law, after striking out the words (and severally) which words would make the security double what I intended into the last recog- nizance for the whole sum, should you act unworthily, but rather concluded as them words were printed in the Blank that they escaped the Secretary's notice. I shall expect you early next week. Archy says he will be in Philadelphia on Sunday and I would advise you not to stay any time in town after your release.
"I am, Dear Brother, affectionately yours, "JAMES EWING."
Directed to "Dr. John Connelly, in the State Prison, Phila- delphia."-( Penna. Archives ).
"At Donegal Meeting House, 19th November 1788, an application was made in behalf of General Ewing, signifying that General James Ewing was desirous of obtaining the privilege of one seat in the meeting house, to which the Trustees did cheer- fully acquiesce and marked out a seat for him accordingly." -- Trustees' Records.
Susanna Connelly died at Lancaster, 1753. Abstract from her will, written April 27th, 1753. Proved July 7th, 1753 :
" Item : I order and direct that the house in ye Borough of Lancaster wherein I now live be sold."-Legatees : "My son James Ewing, my son John Ewing, my son John Connelly, when

he arrives at his age of twenty-one years ; my daughter Rebecca Polson, my grandson George Polson, my son-in-law James Lowry, my son-in-law Benjamin Chambers, my grandson James Chambers. I nominate and appoint my trusty friends, James Wright of Hempfield, and Arthur Patterson of Donegal, my executors. Item : I give towards ye building of ye wall round the graveyard of Donegal Meeting House ye sum of five pounds Item : I give towards repairing ye fence round ye graveyard of St. James' Church, Lancaster, ye sum of three pounds."
These quotations show that Susanna Connelly was the mother of James and John Ewing and also of Dr. John Connelly, and that Mrs. Connelly had an interest in both Donegal and St. James' Churches, indicating that Thomas Ewing was a Presby- terian and was buried at Donegal, and that John Connelly was of the Church of England and buried at St. James' Church, Lancaster, and further, that her son, James Ewing, showed his Presbyterian predilections by applying for a seat in Donegal Church, while her son, Dr. John Connelly, by his subsequent conduct, sympathized with the British on account of his Church of England paternity.
The writer remembers a ten by sixteen feet crumbling stone wall enclosure in Donegal graveyard, when it was a foot high above ground, the outlines of which are still visible. Tradition says that this was the foundation of the first church building. It must have been very diminutive, scarcely allowing sitting room for the Pastor, Elders and their families. This was evidently a burial enclosure-might it be the wall mentioned in Mrs. Connelly's will ?- as the present wall was not built until thirty-seven years afterwards. No doubt Thomas Ewing is buried there, and probably James Patterson, her first husband.
Mrs. Connelly appointing Arthur Patterson as one of her executors might be considered an indication of relationship between him and her first husband, but as there is no direct evidence we will leave the reader draw his conclusions.
There are a number of families and individuals who are known to have attended Donegal Church, of whom no authentic data are extant. Among these are : The Millers, Jamiesons,
158
THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Candours, Keys, Kellys, Spears, Works, McQueens, Muirheads, Allisons, Clingans, Mitchells, Pattons, Holmeses, McBrides, McAfees, and others. Some of these are on the records of the Church as having held important offices, whose names subse- quently disappear-some have moved West, some have died out, and others may have become members of Conewago Church, which was founded in 1738, as the following extract from the Minutes of Donegal Presbytery indicate :
" Hanover, August 30th, 1738 .- Ministers present : Thomas Creaghead, Thompson, Bertram, Boyd, Alexander Creaghead, Black and Anderson. Elders present : Mathew Achinson, David Henderson, James Carothers, John Cristy and Hugh Scott. A supplication from Conewago was presented to the Presbytery ; the further consideration of it was deferred till to-morrow. Aug. 31st, 1738, the business of Conewago resumed, and the Presbytery and people of Conewago and Derry agree that the meeting-house of Conewago be built on that plantation that belonged to Michael Legale, now to Clark, and all people on all sides have liberty to join thereunto or not, as their convenience serve."
This Church was built, as "Presbytery met at Conewago, Oct. 1750.". It was near the present site of Gainsburg, four miles west from Elizabethtown, and nearly mid-way between Donegal and Derry. Th.Se people would attend Conewago, it being more convenient than Derry or Donegal. The Jamiesons, Holmeses, Chalmerses and McQueens resided near Conewago. The Muirheads resided at Kelly's Corner, near Colebrook. This Church was abandoned long since, the property has passed into other hands and, there being no charter, the burying-ground has been ploughed over and some of the tombstones have been used for building purposes.
Since the above was written, the writer visited the site of Conewago Church, in company with Mr. John K. Miller, photographer, of Maytown. No remains of the Church were found. What remains of the graveyard was a plot of ground, about forty-five by one hundred and fifty feet, overgrown with thorn trees, briers and weeds. The outlines of part of the

graveyard wall were distinctly visible, but only two tombstones (sandstones), partly broken, on which we could without difficulty decipher the following inscriptions :
In memory of GEORGE ALLISON, late husband of Frances Allison, he died March 20th, 1790, aged 61 years also WILLIAM ALLISON, son of said dec'd who departed this life July 15, 1792 aged 5 years Here lyeth ye Body of JOHN DUNBAR who departed yis life Oct: ye 5, 1745 aged 51 years
The Allison name was quite prominent in the early history of Donegal Church. £ What remains of the tombstone of John Dunbar is large and heavy, well carved in large panel work -more artistic than is usually found at so early a date- indicating considerable means and, no doubt, prominence in the Church. The name Dunbar is indicative of English or Scotch- Irish stock, and the use of ye and vis for the and this is found nowhere in this locality, except in English or Scotch-Irish chirography.
In the yard of the farm-house (about one-quarter mile distant from the graveyard), we were shown part of a grind- stone which had evidently been made from one of the tombstones, as marks of lettering were visible, but too indistinct to be deciphered. Mr. Hollinger, the tenant on the farm, treated us very kindly. The proprietor, Mr. John Alwine, who was on a visit to his farm at the time, does not believe that a church was ever built on the spot, but thought it was a private burying- ground, but admitted that two acres had been reserved for that purpose, and no deed was ever given to anyone, without the reservation, when the farm changed owners. This may be a strong inference that a church had been built there, as the ground reserved was much larger than was necessary for buried purposes.
160
THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
This is confirmed by the very recent reference to William Clark's will, the owner of the property at the time the Church was built. The following extract from his will removes all doubt : "Item : I leave and bequeath to my dearly beloved son, William, and his heirs the house that Robert Cluer now lives in, and two hundred acres thereto to be divided at the discretion of my executors to comodate the plantation that I now dwell on, and the above plantation always reserved and excepted two acres of land whereon the Meeting-house now stands, with the con- veniences of the run."
The Rev. William W. Downey, in a history of Paxton Church, says that "The Rev. John Elder, Pastor of Paxton and Derry Churches, delivered the sermon at the ordination of Mr. Black, at Conewago Church." The date of the ordination is not given. Mr. Black's name appears as a member of Presbytery at the meeting at Hanover, when permission was given for the building of the Conewago church ; the presumption is that in the absence of the strict formality that is required at the present day it was not observed, and that an organization was already consummated at Conewago, earlier than the pro- ceedings of the meeting at Hanover, Aug. 31st, 1738. The Rev. Mr. Elder was installed Pastor of Paxton and Derry before a regular organization was established.
Eleanor, the wife of John Hays and daughter of the Rev. John Elder, of Paxton, is buried at Donegal (grave No. 112).

DONEGAL MORAVIAN CHURCH.
DONEGAL MORAVIAN CHURCH.
The following sketch, although not a Presbyterian Church, is introduced as a relic of the past, and on account of the in- fluence it has exerted on succeeding generations : The Donegal Moravian Church was situated in Donegal, later Mount Joy Township. This has become extinct, the Church edifice torn down, and the graveyard included in the Milton Grove Ceme- tery, established a few years ago. The writer, having spent. many happy hours at Prof. John Beck's Lititz Academy, and knowing well the customs of the Moravians, was often attracted to the old Church and burying ground in his professional visits in the neighborhood. Few persons, except those in the vicinity, knew anything about the old relic ; strangers passing along the road within one hundred yards of the Church would not recog- nize it. At the present time, on entering at the southeast gate of the cemetery, passing over a rising ground and descending to the extreme northwest corner, you will find the square flat sandstones upon the graves of those old pioneers. Some of their descendants still occupy the surrounding farms, though no longer Moravians.
Milton Grove, a thriving village, about three-quarters of a mile south, has grown up within the last forty years. The writer remembers well when its site was an open common, and when the first house was built. At the present time it contains besides a number of dwellings, a coach works, and other mechanical pursuits, a tavern, post-office, physician, and store carried on by one of the descendants of the Moravians, Mr. Eli S. Grosh.
The writer is indebted to Mr. A. R. Beck, of Lititz, for assistance, and for the following data concerning the old Church :
" DONEGAL MORAVIAN CHURCH .- The Germans of Don- egal were visited and preached to as early as 1743 by Jacob Lischy, a Moravian itinerant, and in 1745 erected a meeting-
164

house for the use of the brethren. It stood on an eleven-acre tract for which Francis Seib (or Leib), John Kapp, Peter Ruecksecker and John Etter had taken out a warrant in October, 1745 In 1747, Lischy left the Moravians and joined the Reformed Church. (He was born in Switzerland, came to America in 1742, fell into gross sin, and was expelled from the ministry ; 1781, died near York, Pa. ). In 1749, the German Reformed faction taking advantage of a wrong direction which had been given to the deed by Lischy, in virtue of which it was made to appear that the tract had been taken up for the benefit of a Reformed Church, forcibly dispossessed the brethren of their pulpit. Hereupon the latter met for worship at Peter Schneider's until the Spring of 1750, when a school and meeting-house was erected for their use, on ground donated by Schneider. In August, 1750, Thomas and Richard Penn released the eleven-acre tract and improvements thereon to the brethren by a 'Patent of confirmation for lands in Donegal.' After the latter had reimbursed their opponents for the expense they had incurred in erecting the Church the log school-house was transferred to its side, the Church itself renewed, and then dedicated by Bishop Matthew Hehl, Sept. 28th, 1753."

The Rev. John Martin Beck was born 1746, in Schafï- hausen, Switzerland ; died at Lititz, Pa., 1827. His wife, Anna Johanna Grubè, was born in Pennsylvania, of German parentage, 1758 ; died, 1808. Her father was Bernhard Adam Grube, missionary among the Indians.
Prof. John Beck, the founder of Lititz Academy, was the son of the Rev. John Martin Beck, and was born in Graceham Co., Maryland, on the 16th of June, 1791. When five years old his father moved to the neighborhood of Donegal Moravian Church, and served the congregation as Pastor from 1796 to 1798. Prof. John Beck was educated at Nazareth Hall, and founded Lititz Academy in 1815, which he conducted during fifty years. The total number of pupils in attendance during

that period was two thousand three hundred and twenty-six- representatives from twenty-six States and Territories, in addi- tion to those from Europe, Asia, West Indies and Canada. Of this number one thousand and eighty were Lancaster County boys, representing every department of industry and the learned pro- fessions. A Governor of the State, Judges, Lawyers, Physicians and the Ministry, their influence on the fortune of Lancaster County, who can estimate? Five of Prof. Beck's children are deceased. Martha Ann Beck's ( Hammer) son, William Joseph Hammer is electrician in New York City ; James M. Beck, Assistant Attorney U. S., and Carol Hooper Beck, artist, of Philadelphia, are sons of James Nathan Beck.
Four of Julius Augustus Beck's (artist ) sons are artists, viz: Abraham Raphael, Harry Kepple, John and Martin Augustus.
Abraham Reinke Beck, son of Prof. John Beck, was the founder and principal of the Beck family school at Lititz. His son, Paul Eugene, is organist at Lititz, and Herbert Huebener is analytical chemist at Lancaster, Pa. He has been recently elected Professor of Chemistry in Franklin Marshall College.
