Charles Cameron's name appears on the records of Donegal Church as a member of the congregation in 1790. His son, the Hon. Simon Cameron, was appointed Adjutant General by Governor Schultz ; he was chosen United States Senator from 1845 to 1851, and from 1857 to 1861, when he was appointed Secretary of War by President Lincoln, and afterwards as Minister to Russia. He was again chosen United States Senator from 1867 to 1877. Mr. Cameron was a self-made man in a true sense, as, without the advantages of early educational facilities, he rose to be a man of marked ability ; his long and patriotic services in the affairs of State is a conspicuous example for our American boys, an example of what may be attained by in- defatigable perseverance and untiring zeal. In his will he bequeathed two thousand dollars to Donegal Church, the income of which should be expended for the care and planting of trees and for the care of the grounds around the Church.


His brother, Col. James Cameron, was killed in the Rebellion, at the first Battle of Bull Run, thereby adding another name to the list of the patriotic descendants of old Donegal who sacrificed their lives in defense of their country and flag.

His son, the Hon. James Donald Cameron, served with distinction as United States Senator from 1877 to 1897, and as Secretary of War under President Grant. At the death of his distinguished father, he came into possession of the original Stephenson property contiguous to the Glebe land, which is beautifully situated north of the Church. He has improved and beautified it, having added largely to the original domain by the purchase of surrounding property.


HUGH PEDAN'S FAMILY.


Hugh Pedan, son of John Pedan (vide: chart of Abraham Scott's family, page 60), married Mary Boggs. They had ten children-two sons and eight' daughters-whose names are mentioned in his will, dated April 17th, 1800 He died October 18th, 1800. He and his wife are buried at Donegal (grave No. 81). He was a captain in the Revolution and was subsequently distinguished for his valuable services in the interests of the Government He was called Col. Pedan ; the title of Colonel was acquired after the active warfare. There are two commissions in the possession of his descendants, one dated May Ist, 1786, the other dated May Ist, 1789. His residence was at Big Chicquesalunga Creck, near the site of the old stone tavern, which he owned. This was torn down a few years ago and a handsome brick dwelling erected on the site by Mr. A. M. Gerber.

George W. Mehaffey was County Commissioner from 1872 to 1875, and County Auditor in 1875. To him acknowledg- ment is made by the writer for data furnished relative to the family of James Mehaffey.


THE BOGGS FAMILY.


There were a number of this family connected with the Donegal congregation. There are none in the vicinity of Donegal Church at the present time. Andrew Boggs may have been the pioneer from facts deduced from the following abstract of his will : "Andrew Boggs, dated August 23d, 1764, Donegal Township. Legatees : His wife, Ann ; oldest son, John ; son, James ; daughter, Jean Dunlap ; son, Andrew ; son, Alexander ; daughters, Ann and Mary Boggs ; grandchildren, Ann and Jean Lowrey. His wife, Ann, executrix, and his son, John, as her assistant, on condition of his return from the woods. - Probated April 16th, 1765." The grandchildren here mentioned were the children of Joseph Lowrey (brother of Col. Alexander), who married his daughter, Ann Boggs. The writer has no reliable data concerning the relationship of those buried at Donegal.


THE SPEAR FAMILY.


This is another family once conspicuous in the history of Donegal whose descendants have entirely disappeared from the vicinity. Robert Spear resided on a place on the east bank of the Big Chicquesalunga Creek, a short distance north from John Moore's mill ; part of his land was in Hempfield and part in Rapho Townships, and is at present owned and occupied by Mr. Christian S. Hostetter. He died in 1800, aged eighty-four, and is buried at Donegal. He had a large family. The following is an abstract of his will: "Robert Spear, dated


94


THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


November 11th, 1799, Hempfield and Rapho Townships, Lancaster Co., Pa. Probated November 7th, 1800. Legatees : Wife, Isabella ; grandchild, oldest child of Hugh Andrew ; daughter, Mary Cooke ; daughter, Catherine ; daughter Eliza- beth ; son, John ; son, William ; son, Robert. Executors : Wife, Isabella, and son, Robert."


George Spear, of Rapho Township, was married to Sarah Pedan, daughter of Huglı Pedan. They had one daughter, Isabella, who was married to McLear. George Spear died in 1846 ; his wife died in 1844 ; they are both buried in Donegal. The writer does not know the relationship between these two families.


THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY.


Hon. Andrew Armstrong, a descendant of Presbyterian stock and native of Cumberland Co., Pa., married Mary Ann Breneman, daughter of Jacob and Ann Breneman, whose residence was the property north-east of the Glebe, at present owned by Hon. J .. Donald Cameron After the death of Mr. Breneman, Mr. Armstrong resided on the place until the death of his sister-in-law, when he moved to Mount Joy, where he died in 1876. He was prominent in public affairs ; served as a member of Legislature in 1867-68. Ilis two sons fell a sacrifice to Rebel shells in front of Petersburg, Va., during the late Rebellion. He joined the emergency men in defence of the border. He was a man of strict integrity and very active in support of the Government. He, his wife and family are buried at Donegal

of his brothers and sisters there is no authentic data. The writer is indebted to Mrs. Martha D. Duffey for valuable informa- tion and a list of names from the family Bible. Acknowledgment is also made to the Hon. H. Burd Cassel.


Mr. James Duffey (No. 1) was extensively engaged in business and the principal agent in re-establishing the hollow- ware works of Marietta. He was largely engaged in agriculture, having under his supervision several large farms north of Marietta which he owned, including the greater portion of the original Anderson property. He accumulated a large estate. He had nine children, four of whom are living. He died in 1880. The following is a partial genealogical chart of the above-named families :

His son, Henry H. Wiley (who mar- ried a daughter of Dr. Nathaniel Watson, of Donegal Springs), owned and resided there until his death in 1897. Mr. John Wiley was an intelligent business man of strict integrity, and by his industry he accumulated ample resources. His son, the Hon. John E. Wiley, represented Lancaster County in the State Legislature in 1870-71.


THE DODGE FAMILY.


The Rev. Nehemiah Dodge was born in Londonderry, N. H .. September 10th, 1794. He was educated at the University of Vermont, where he graduated in 1818. From his Alma Mater he received the degree of A. M. in 1824. He conducted a classical school for young ladies in Philadelphia from 1820 to 1837. He came to Mount Joy in the Spring of 1837, and founded Cedar Hill Seminary for young ladies, in that year. He first occupied the large stone mansion-house of Mr. Mishey, situated on the turnpike a short distance east of Mount Joy, at present owned by Mr. C. Seitz. The building which Mr. Dodge subse- quently occupied, he erected in 1840. It was situated on a beautiful knoll on the east bank of Little Chicquesalunga Creek, and South of the Pennsylvania Railroad track, where it crosses the creek on a double-arched. stone bridge. Mr. Dodge was a very successful teacher, highly esteemed and greatly beloved


97


THE DONEGAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


by his pupils; from 1840 to 1861 over one thousand two hundred pupils were registered on the catalogue. Mr. Dodge had a fervent love for knowledge and ardent enthusiasm for scientific research, yet withal, so modest that few were cognizant of his extensive knowledge, both general and scientific. His greatest pleasure was in the company of those who could enjoy and appreciate with him the wonders displayed in the works of the Creator. He was a sincere and humble Christian. He took an active part in everything that had for its object the elevation of the race. He was intensely patriotic, so much so, that although past the age of three-score years, he hesitated not to go out in defence of the border during the trying times of the late Rebel- lion. Mr. Dodge died in 1876, and is buried at Donegal, where his grateful pupils erected a monument to his memory. The school building was destroyed by fire in 1891, and all that remains of the once famous and beautiful structure are a few ruined walls. The writer will ever cherish with pleasure the recollection of Mr. Dodge and Cedar Hill Seminary.

THE PINKERTON FAMILY.


Joseph Pinkerton, with his family, came from the neighbor- hood of Lancaster City, about the year 1837 or 1838, and occu- pied the farm south of Mount Joy, at present owned by Mr. Jacob Zercher. After the death of the parents, William, John, Jane and Susan moved to Mount Joy. Ann married Rev. James Latta ; Joseph Woods married Miss Crowell, and Stephen C., married Miss Hogendobler. They were strict Presbyterians and members of the Mount Joy Church, of which Stephen C. was an elder. The father, mother, two sons and two daughters are buried at Donegal (graves Nos. 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240). The following data was furnished by William J. Pinkerton (a son of Stephen C.), who has since died. Joseph Pinkerton died April 27th, 1859, in his 85th year. Jane Robinson Pinkerton died August 12th, 1854, in her 70th year.

JOHN SCOTT.


John Scott, a member of Donegal Church and a resident of Maytown, owned and occupied the property situated about half a square south of the Lutheran Church, at present occupied by Mr. George Pierce. He was never married ; his mother, Nancy, kept house for him. His occupation was post and fence making, and general work among the farmers. The device on his tomb is intended to indicate his principal occupation. By industry and economy he accumulated about four thousand dollars, which he bequeathed to the schools of Donegal Township. He was a strict Presbyterian and a friend of education. He and his mother are buried at Donegal (graves Nos. 45 and 46). The inscription on his tomb attributes his nativity to Ireland, which is somewhat doubtful, as both he and his mother spoke with a broad Scotch accent. The writer has a distinct recollection of old John Scott, a character familiar to every schoolboy of that day.

THE FUTURE OF DONEGAL.


My task is almost done. The history of old Donegal has been written. What of the future? Let the descendants tread in the footsteps of their fathers, emulate their virtues, advance and protect those glorious principles of civil and religious freedom for which they pledged their lives and fortunes. The government of the Presbyterian Church-through its Laity, Sessions, Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly-is the model after which our civil government has been copied. Shall not, then, the descendants of old Donegal arouse, lay aside all bickerings, and stand firm in maintaining those principles which the fathers founded upon the infallible word of God? Amidst the rapid advance of art and science, the immense acquisition of wealth, the hurrying to and fro of the seekers after the pleasures of this world, let us not forget that we owe a duty to God, to our country and to posterity by maintaining the doctrines of the Church as taught in the Bible ; a duty to guard well the portals of entry to the ministry so that a subtile philosophy gain no entrance ; a philosophy that would destroy faith in redemption, eliminate the sovereignty of God, and that would end in the darkness of Atheism. Let us see to it that we "Buy the truth and sell it not," and so strive to be worthy the glorious heritage and history of old Donegal.


The work that remains is but the transcript on the tomb- stones of those who have passed " To where beyond their voices there is peace." Alas, how many more have passed without even a stone to mark their last resting place -- many unknown, unhonored and unsung of men-known and unknown alike resting in their narrow beds until the last trump shall sound, when all shall rise and appear before the Judge of all the earth ! For the name and for the glorious record of old Donegal, we are grateful ; and for the power her sons are wielding to-day in civil and ecclesiastical life, we give thanks to the Most High : "We praise Thee, O God, we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord; not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give . glory for Thy mercy and for Thy name's sake."
