Moses McClean, in Gettysburg ; was admitted to the Bar in 1845 ; was elected to the Senate of Pennsylvania in 1865, and served 1866, '67 and '68 ; originated the Evergreen Cemetery and Battle- field Memorial Association.
Rebecca Patterson (No, 17), daughter of James Patterson (No. 5), married James Scott. Martha Patterson (No. 18) married John Scott. Anna Patterson (No 19) died unmarried. Samuel Patterson (No. 20) moved west ; he had one son, Samuel A. Patterson (No. 50). William Patterson (No. 21) was a physician and died unmarried ; he is buried in the old Presby- terian graveyard, near Gettysburg. The following is a copy of the inscription on his tombstone :
"A memorial of
Dr. William Patterson
Who was removed by death Sept: 4th 1806 Aged 26 years Friends of learning and humanity, His name merits your veneration. His life was devoted to the successful pursuit of useful knowledge. To extend its blessings widely, especially to the destitute, was a design with which his benevolent heart was seriously occupied. In his unblemished character and in the cheerful fortitude with which he saw his days terminate in the midst of youth, the authority of religion and strength of its consolations were manifest. Death at whatever season it comes is to a good man unspeakable great gain."
William Patterson (No. 9), son of Arthur Patterson (No. 1), owned and resided on the place, now John S. Nissley's. Three hundred and twenty-four and one-half acres were deeded to William by the widow and heirs of Arthur Patterson (No. I), who died intestate. The acknowledgment of the deed is as follows, and embraces the whole family of Arthur (No. I), copied from the original :
" Be it remembered that on 13th day of December, A. D., 1764 : Before me the subscriber one of his Majesty's Justice of

Witness my hand and seal the same day and year."
JOHN ALLISON SEAL
This was one-half of the two original and contiguous tracts, three hundred and fifty-five and two hundred and ninety-four acres, patented by Arthur Patterson ( No. 1). William Patterson (No. 9) married Elizabeth Dysart ; their children were Arthur Patterson (No. 22), Eleanor Patterson (No. 23), and Alexander (No. 24). William, like many of the heroic members of the Donegal congregation, left home and fireside and offered his services in defence of the cause of freedom. He served in the War of the Revolution until captured by the British and confined on a prison ship, where he died. "He was Second Lieutenant, First Lancaster County Battalion, Seventh Company, Flying Camp."-( Penna. Archives. ) The following certificate of death is given as additional corroborative historical evidence, copied from the original :
"This is to certify that William Patterson late of Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Gentleman, was elected as a Second Lieutenant of foot of the First Battalion of Lancaster County, flying camp on or about the 12th Day of August one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six and that he was after- wards commissioned and that he served with reputation as a Second Lieutenant in said Battalion (of which I was major ) until the Twenty-seventh Day of August aforesaid at which time he was made a prisoner of war at the Battle of Long Island and that he died during his captivity. That he behaved himself with propriety and bravery as an officer from about the seventh of July in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy six until the time of his captivity aforesaid.

A number of the descendants of Ephraim Moore appear on this list of whom I have no authentic knowledge except their names. His children are mentioned in his will except two, Hugh and Arthur, whose names are on a family record, and presumably were dead before his will was written, which is dated September 9th, 1776, and probated December rith, 1776. With Alexander P. Moore, a grandson of Ephraim, the writer was personally acquainted.
THE SCOTT FAMILY.
This is one among the early families of Donegal Church. They are connected by marriage with the Pattersons, Agnews, Pedans, Lytles, Hayeses and others. When the family came to America is not definitely known, but may be inferred that from about the years 1714 to 1730, many Protestants emigrated from Ireland to America, and that the settlements of the Scotts and Pattersons in this country were contiguous; and that the son- in-law of Abraham Scott, Arthur Patterson, arrived in 1724, the inference is that the Scott family came over about the same time.

THE HAYES FAMILY.
Some of the members of this family occupied a prominent position in the affairs of Donegal Church. David Hayes (No. I), (sometimes spelled Hays) was an Elder, and is mentioned as one of the Session to whom the patent deed for the Glebe was granted to the Church in 1740. A number of his descendants took an active part in the War of the Revolution. There are few records extant relating to the family. The following partial chart has been prepared from data that have been verified :
John Hayes, Sr., No. 2, married Elizabeth -
Robert Hayes, No. 3, married Catherine Pat- terson

David Hayes (No. 1), in his will, dated March 15th, 1776, Rapho Township, approved May 31st, 1780, names as legatees his wife, Jean ; son-in-law, Alexander Scott (No. 6); sons, John (No. 2) and Robert (No. 3); nephew, David Kerr ; son, Patrick (No. 4); daughter-in-law, Jean ; and grandchild, Eliza- beth ( No. 12), daughter of my son, David ( No. 5), deceased.
John Hayes, Sr., (No. 2) died January 26th, 1813. His son, John, Jr. (No. 7), born December 5th, 1775, died No- vember 27th, 1813.
Concerning Robert Hayes (No. 3), there are no data except his family record and his signature in a deed, made in 1764, to William Patterson, when he signs as the husband of Catherine Hayes, formerly Catherine Patterson. In the will of Catherine Hayes, nee Patterson, their children are mentioned as legatees, and their grandchildren, the children of David Hayes (No. 9), who married Ann Moore, daughter of Ephraim and Eleanor Moore (see Moore chart, page 59).
The husband of Jean Hayes (No. 8) was the son of the Rev. Joseph Tate, Pastor of Donegal Church.

The writer has no evidence of James Agnew, the founder of this family, being a member of Donegal congregation. By inter- marriage with the Scotts, Pattersons, Hayeses and others, the family becomes a legitimate descendant of Donegal. The reader, by tracing the numbers on these family charts, will learn their close relationship. There are many of which the writer has no knowledge, except their names, obtained from family records ; for obvious reasons some are repeated on this chart ; the de- scendants of Martha Agnew (No. 4) appear on the Patterson chart, page 45.

THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
It will be observed from the foregoing chart that the claim of Donegal Church for the honor of President William Mckinley as one of its descendants is fully established. *
* Corroborated by Chas. R Miller, Esq., Canton, Ohio.
David McKinley, who married Sarah Gray, the grand- daughter of James Stephenson, was from the neighborhood of the Chanceford Presbyterian Church, in York County, Pa. Some of the Mckinley descendants still reside in the vicinity and a number of them rest in the burying ground of the old Chanceford Church. The following inscriptions are from their tombstones :
