HANOVER CHURCH.
were often driven from their homes. Forts and stockades were built for defenee, but murders and massacres frequently occurred. So greatly were the people harrassed that many left their farms and homes for safer regions. On June 6, 1759, we learn that Mr. Sankey, having received a call to a congregation in Virginia. and designing to remove there, applied for and received eredentials from the Pres- bytery. His relation to the Hanover church as pastor seems to have been already dissolved. He removed to Virginia, accompanied by many of the Hanover congregation, about 1760. The main reason for going was to escape the ineursions of the savages. He settled at Buffalo, joined the Hanover Presbytery of Virginia in 1760, and was appointed to preside at the opening of the Synod of Vir- ginia in 1785. He lived to a good old age, respected by his people and his brethren in the ministry.
Mr. Sankey served Hanover church for twenty-one years. and though no further record is known of his ministry. it was evidently an acceptable one to the people, who kept him so long, and many of whom accompanied him when he left. This closed the first pastor- ate of Hanover church. After his dismissal during the year 1759 the church was supplied occasionally by Rev. Messrs. John Steel and John Elder.
1760. At a meeting of the Presbytery in 1760 Hanover asked for supplies, and also sought from the Synod candidates for their pulpit, with a view to settlement. In the year 1760 Rev. Messrs. Elder. Duffield, Roan and Williams occasionally preached for them. The church asked Presbytery to secure for them from the Presbytery of New Brunswick a further hearing of a Mr. Carmichael, and that if possible he be induced to join the Presbytery of Donegal. The services of Mr. Latta, of Philadelphia Presbytery, were also sought. These two men, with Mr. Williamson, seem to have preached for the church as candidates, but were not chosen to the pastorate.
1761. During the year 1761 Hanover was supplied mainly by Re -. Messrs. Roan, Tate, Elder, Beard and M'Mordie.
PASTORATE OF THE REV. ROBERT M'MORDIE.
1762. In 1762, in November, a call was made for the Rev. Rob- ert M Mordie, which he accepted. The congregation promised him eighty pounds for his temporal support, to be secured by bonds. Rev. Messrs. John Elder and JJoseph Tate were appointed to install him on the fourth Sunday of November, 1762, Mr. Elder to preside.
18
HANOVER CHURCH.
No record of the installation is made, but it was doubtless carried out at the fixed time.
The congregation had been diminished somewhat by the removals to Virginia. The Old and New Light controversies still troubled the churches and caused dissensions and divisions in the congrega- tions. In April a number of persons, names not given, supplicate the Presbytery for a dismissal from Hanover church, with liberty to join some neighboring congregation. The matter was discussed and deferred from year to year. In June of the same year Rev. Messrs. Robert M'Mordie, John Elder. John Steel, John Beard, Jo- seph Tate and Sampson Smith declined to sit in Presbytery because of contention and party spirit. They all belonged to the Old Light side of the controversy.
1764. It is evident that a part of the congregation of Hanover were on the New Light side of the conflict, for in October, 1764, several members of the congregation represent to Presbytery that they never consented to take Mr. M'Mordie for pastor; that said call was made out irregularly, and they now request that they may be allowed to join some other congregation, probably that of the Rev. John Roan, who was a New Light man. The matter was de- ferred.
1765. It came up again in February, 1765, when Mr. M'Mordie objected to the Presbytery taking any action in the case. The peti- tioners were, however, granted leave to go elsewhere and have their children baptized, though they were not to dissolve their connection with Hanover church. This did not end matters, and in April the Presbytery met at Hanover to consider the troubles in that church Nothing was accomplished, and they met again in May.
In the same month of May the Synod dissolved the Presbytery, and the Presbytery of Carlisle was formed, consisting of the minis- ters and churches west of the Susquehanna. It lived, however, but a year and died, and the Presbytery of Donegal was restored to its original bounds, and met June 24 at Carlisle. The churches and ministers of Donegal Presbytery cast of the Susquehanna were or- ganized into the new Presbytery of Lancaster. Mr. M'Mordie, with Hanover church, belonged to this Presbytery. It, too, survived but a year. During this year, 1765-1766. the church of Hanover became vacant. No record of Mr. M'Mordie's resignation exists, but it was doubtless caused by the dissensions in his church. After his with- drawal the church continued in a distracted and enfeebled state.

For many years it depended entirely upon occasional supplies, hav- ing no settled pastor, and, so far as we can learn, seeking none .*
1772. April 16 Rev. John Roan was directed to supply at Han- over, and to moderate a call for Mr. William Thom, and Mr. Thom
1769. * The signatures to a "Petition of the Inhabitants of Hanover Town- ship against the Division of the said Township," dated February, 1769, per- haps furnishes a pretty fair list of the members of Hanover congregation at that period. The original orthography of the names is preserved :

1771. t Twice was the congregation at Hanover greatly depleted. First by the exodus into Virginia of forty or fifty families, who settled in Hanover county, where their beloved pastor, Rev. Mr. Sankey, had located. Earnest effo' s have been inade to gather the names of these Hanoverians, but as yet fruitless. Second, by the adherents of Lazarus Stewart, who accompanied. him to Wyoming. The names of nearly all of these have been secured, and are as follows :
Capt. Lazarus Stewart,
Lt. Lazarus Stewart, jr., James Stewart, Lazarus Young, William Stewart, Robert Young, Willian. Young, Peter Kidd,

is appointed one of the supplies at Hanover. On the 21st of May a call for Mr. Thom was presented in Presbytery, with a copy of a sub- scription paper of over one hundred pounds. The call was put into his hands. In the meantime Mr. Thom received other calls from Big Spring, Sherman's Valley and Alexandria, Va., and on October 15, 1772, accepted the latter. For the next seven years, covering part of the period of the Revolutionary war, the Hanover church depended on occasional supplies. The times tried men's souls. Men were called away to war. The people were poor.
1779. October 19, 1779, a call from Hanover for Mr. Joseph Hen- derson was presented at Presbytery and put into his hands. They agreed to pay him yearly. if he accepted. the full quantity of five hun- dred bushels of wheat. The call was declined, and supplies continued for two years longer, when. on the 20th of June, 1781, a call from Han- over to Rev. Matthew Woods was made out, in which they promise. to pay him six hundred bushels of wheat, or a sum of hard money equivalent thereto, and also a gratuity of six hundred bushels. The cause of these peculiar calls in grain was the greatly depreciated value of the Continental currency. Mr. Woods accepted the call, and was ordained and installed over the Hanover congregation June 19, 1782.
PASTORATE OF REV. MATTHEW WOODS.
1782-84. The pastorate of Mr. Woods was a brief one, and there remains no record of it beyond the fact that August, 19, 1784, he reported in the Presbytery that some disturbance had arisen in his congregation, occasioned by a Rev. Mr. Hindman, who was formerly on trial before Presbytery for some irregularities. Ile asked the interposition of Presbytery, and a committee was ap- pointed to attend to the matter, but in less than a month, on Sep- tember 13, 1784, the Rev. Matthew Woods died. A. tombstone was erected to his memory in 1789 by the following subscribers :

The body of Mr. Woods was buried in the Hanover grave-yard, adjoining the church.
1786. There was now a vacaney in the pastorate, during which supplies were furnished by Presbytery. After two years a call was extended to Mr. Samuel Wilson, a young licentiate, and a salary of £150 was promised him, but it was declined.
1787. Hanover was allowed to prosecute a call to a probationer for the ministry under the care of the Presbytery of Philadelphia. On the 16th of October Mr. James Snodgrass was received under the care of the Presbytery from the Philadelphia Presbytery, and having accepted a call from the Hanover congregation, he was ap- pointed to prepare a lecture on Rom. VIII, 1-7, and a Presbyterial exercise on I Cor. XV, 22, as parts of his trial for ordination.
1788. On the 13th of May the Presbytery of Carlisle met at Han- over. Present-Rev. Mcssrs. John Elder, John Hoge, John Linn, John Craighead, Robert Cooper and Samuel Waugh, with James Johnston, elder. Upon the next day, May 14, 1788, James Snod- grass was ordained and installed as pastor of the Hanover congre- gation. Rev. John Craighead presided and gave the charge, and the Rev. John Linn preached the sermon from II Cor. IV, 5.
PASTORATE OF REV. JAMES SNODGRASS.
A copy of the call of Hanover church to Mr. Snodgrass :
SIR :- We the members of the Presbyterian congregation of Han- over, in the county of Dauphin, being for some time past destitute of a stated Gospel minister, and being sensible of the great loss that we and our tender offspring do sustain by our living in such a destitute condition in this wilderness, and being satisfied of the min- isterial abilities of you, the Rev. James Snodgrass, do unanimously invite and call upon you to take the pastoral care and oversight of us, promising all due subjection, submission and obedience to the doctrine, discipline, government and ordinances exercised and ad- ministered by you as our pastor in the Lord. And that you may

be better able to attend upon your pastoral and ministerial work, without anxious and distracting cares about your worldly concerns, we do hereby cheerfully promise and engage to provide for your support in a decent and comfortable manner, suitable and becoming your respectable office and station as a minister of the Gospel and Ambassador of the Prince of Peace, knowing that the Lord hath ordained that they who preach the Gospel shall live by the Gospel.
In testimony whereof, we hereby subscribe our names this tenth day of May. 1787.

Contrary to modern custom the amount of the salary is not men- tioned in the call. but from the book of the trustees, which is in existence, we learn that the amount of the salary was probably one hundred and fifty pounds. In subsequent years Mr. Snodgrass lived upon a farm near the church, of which he was the owner. The church, probably, owned no ground beyond a few acres sur- rounding the church, part of which was used as a burial ground. Mr. Snodgrass was the last pastor of Hanover, but he served the church through a very long pastorate, down to the day of his death, on the second day of July, 1846, a period of over fifty- eight years from the date of his installation, May 14. 1788. To this should be added the six months or more in which he sup-

plied the pulpit prior to his ordination. The congregation of Han- over was wholly a country one, made up of a farming people and the few mechanics always to be found in a farming region. As the country inereased in population the original Scotch-Irish settlers slowly disappeared, selling their farms to Germans and going them- selves, mainly westward. Mr. Snodgrass, like most of the early ministers, failed to keep a record of his times. There does not exist, so far as can be learned, the slightest record of any church- session, or of any election of ruling elders by the church. Tradition gives us the names of some who served in the eldership of the church, but there is no existing record of any meeting of the ses- sion. No sessional book appears to have been kept. During the first eight or ten years of his pastorate Mr. Snodgrass kept in a blank book of the trustees of the church. a record of the marriages, baptisms and admissions to the church, but he seems to have become weary of it and to have utterly abandoned it before the year 1800. There is no record of removals from the church by letter or by death. A list remains of the heads of families about the year 1788. and the lists of those who paid stipends are continued down to the date of his death. Mr. Snodgrass' receipts for his salary, and the records of the board of trustees are also in existence. Some of these are here given, that they may be preserved for future reference.
