In 1858 the inconvenient situation of the church build- ing became so seriously felt that the erection of the present church edifice in Penningtonville was begun. The base- ment was occupied early in 1859, where Rev. Leonard Fletcher held a very successful series of meetings. He assumed the pastorate April 1st, but died August 16th fol- lowing. While without a pastor the pulpit was filled by Rev. William Jones. In November, 1860, Rev. William T. Bunker was chosen pastor, and accepted the call. In December the new church building was finished at a cost of $6000, and was dedicated, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith preaching the sermon upon that occasion. In 1862, Rev. Mr. Ban- ker's resignation was accepted, and in the following year Rev. A. H. Bliss settled as pastor. In the same year the Parkesburg meeting-house was sold. Iu August, 1864, Rev. Mr. Bliss resigned, and entered the Union army as a private soldier. In 1865, Rev. Joseph Sharp entered upon the pastorate, and closed his successful pastorship in 1869. In 1870, Rev. W. W. Dalbey, now of Philadelphia, was called. In January of that year Nathaniel Davis, an old and valued member, bought an acre of ground adjoining the Presbyterian graveyard in Penningtonville, and gave it to the church for a cemetery, which lot and one adjoining the old church building are both now used as burial- grounds. This year a frame chapel was built by the church in Parkesburg, which is still used as an out-station, and in which regular services have been held ever since.

In September, 1871, Rev. Mr. Dalbey resigned, and was succeeded in 1872 by Rev. James Walden. He finished a prosperous pastorate in March, 1877. In September of same year Rev. T. S. Snow, of South Amboy, accepted the call of the church, and is still its pastor. His pastorate has been a successful one, and on Jan. 1, 1880, the church numbered 258 members. The old church building, two miles south of the one now used, is still owned by the church, and remains in nearly its original condition, being used for Sunday-school and other purposes.

VINCENT.

This was first organized in 1737 as a branch of the Great Valley Church, which built the mecting-house on a lot less than 200 yards from the present church

edifice. Rev. William Davis, an ordained minister from Wales, who settled near Yellow Springs, with Rev. John Davis, pastor of Great Valley, supplied Vincent with preaching for some years. In 1748 the Vincent brethren were granted by the Great Valley Church independent ac- tion, as far as was necessary to the observance of the ordi- nances and the discipline of their number. Rev. William Davis was given a release of membership by letter, and went to the church at Montgomery. May 27, 1750, was received by the Vincent Church a letter of dismission from the Welsli Traet of that able minister, Rev. Owen Thomas, who settled in these parts, and preached here and in other places. In 1748, John Bowen was appointed to lead the Psalms, with William Grosson as a substitute. The fol- lowing were the original members :

John Bowen and Jane, his wife; David Jenkins and Martha, his wife; John James and Letticc, his wife, and Eleanor, their danghter; John Morgan and his wife Mary; John Pieree; Isaac Adams; Elizabeth Rogers; Sarah Rees; Francis Boulton ; Recs Lowis and Sarah, his wife; Mary David (widow); Margaret Evans; Lettiec Evans ; John and James Fay ; Elizabeth Rees; Mary Pugh ; William Gronow,-25 in all.

Nov. 12, 1760, Rev. Owen Thomas died, and a marble slab in the Vincent burial-ground contains this inscription :

"Here lies the body of the Rev. Mr. Owen Thomas, who departed this life Nov. 12th, 1760, in the sixty-ninth year of his age.

"In yonder house I spent my breath, And now lie slumbering here in death; Those lips shall wake, and then declare Amen ! to truths they published there."

For the next ten years it was supplied more or less by preaching from the pastors of Great Valley ; at other times by Thomas Davis, and often by transient ministers. Desir- ing to be constituted into a separate church, the Vincent brethren appointed David and Owen Thomas, Joseph and David Philips, messengers to request their dismission from the Great Valley and constitution into a new church. On Sept. 21, 1771, the prayer was granted, and the following inembers dismissed by the Great Valley Church :

John Thomas, Lettiee James, David Jenkins, Martha Jenkins, William Gordon, Isabel Gordon, Joseph Philips, Mary Philips, Josiah Philips, David Philips, Mary Philips, John Philips, Mar- garet Philips, Thomas Thomas, Elizabeth Thomas, Sarah Adams, Mary Edwards, Sarah Edwards, Martha Edwards, Ann Frances, Re- beeca Recs, Mary Martin, Eleanor Martin, Sarah Evans, Thomas Morris, Hannah Morris, William Wells, Rebecca Wells, Hannah Morgan, Edward Jones, Mary Lloyd, Elizabeth Martio, William Gronow, Rebecca Cox, Emma Vaughn, Margaret Smith, Margaret John, Lettice John, Eleanor Davis, Sarah Worthington, Hannah Bateman, Elizabeth Thomas, Ennch Lewis, Catharine Lewis, Mary Griffith, James Thomas, Owen Thomas, Ruth Thomas.

Oct. 12, 1771, Vincent Baptist Church was duly con- stituted. April 6, 1791, it was incorporated by the Legis- lature, with Evan Miles, James Thomas, Thomas Lloyd, Josiah Philips, Jr., Evan Lewis, of the church, and James John and Jesse John, of the congregation, with their suc- cessors, appointed by the charter as trustees. The minutes of the Philadelphia Baptist Association show that the Vincent Church was received into that body in 1771, with the name of John Blackwell as minister, and with 52 mem- bers. The following shows the years it was represented in the above Association, by what delegates, and number of its membership :

In 1775, Daniel Evans, dying, left by his will two-thirds of the income of a farm to help sustain the preaching of this church, and some years after the Legislature author- ized the sale of said farm, and two-thirds of its procceds to be put at interest, and the said interest to be applied to the salary of its pastor. The amount realized to the church was $4396.91, the interest of which is an annual income towards the salary of its minister. The successors of Rev. John Black well were Revs. Abel Griffith and Thomas Fleeson,-three pastors in twenty-nine years,-up to 1800. In 1804, Rev. Thomas Fleeson lost his eyesight, and the venerable Brother Joshua Vaughan ministered for some time. In 1810, Rev. H. G. Jones was supplying the pul- pit, and in 1814, Rev. Daniel James became the officiating minister, and during the year 26 persons were baptized. In 1815, Nat Miles and Philip Souders were chosen dea- cons. In April, 1818, Rev. Charles Moore was called, and in 1819 the church sold him ten acres of its land. In May, 1829, its first Sunday-school was opened, with Enos Philips and Sarah Tustin as superintendents. In April of same year Owen Philips was ordained deacon, and in De- cember Enos M. Philips and John Tucker were licensed to preach. In May, 1833, a missionary society was organ- ized. From October, 1831, to August, 1833, occurred two great revivals and protracted meetings (conducted by Revs. J. H. Kennard, Levi Tucker, William T. Brantly, George J. Miles, Michael Quinn, John Tucker, Thomas C. Teas- dale, Simeon Seigfried, Leonard Fletcher, Josiah and Enos M. Philips), by which 180 persons were added to the church by baptism. In January, 1833, a tract society was formed, and in May the church attached itself to the Cen- tral Union Baptist Association. In February of this year 39 members were dismissed to form the Windsor Church, and Josiah Philips, ordained in 1832, went with them as their pastor. The stated clerks since 1833 have been S. Shearer, Isaac Finch, S. D. Davis, J. H. Latshaw, Abel Evans, and S. Bingaman, the latter since April, 1869. In April, 1833, Samuel Shearer was licensed to preach and chosen clerk. In 1840 a lot was purchased of Robert Orr, and a house built thereon for the church sexton. Feb. 26, 1842, Rev. Charles Moore resigned the pastoral charge, after his labors of twenty-two years and eight months, during which 273 additions were made by baptism, 36 by letter, 2 licensed to preach, and 1 ordained to the gospel ministry. In February, 1843, Rev. J. V. Allison was called and settled as the pastor, and continued until April, 1847. In August, 1847, Rev. A. J. Hires accepted the pastorship, and remained until February, 1851, baptizing 36 persons and receiving 11 by letter. On April 27, 1850, Amos B. Still was licensed to preach. In May, 1851, Rev. J. N. Tucker became the pastor, and continued to April, 1853, baptizing 51 persons, and during his charge the church building was enlarged at a cost of $2370.90. In December, 1852, J. W. Griffith was licensed to preach,

and supplied the pulpit from July, 1853, to December, 1854, at which time Rev. A. J. Hay was installed. Ile remained until April, 1858. In May, 1859, Rev. George Sleeper was called, and continued until his death, March 19, 1866. During his term 73 were added by baptism and 17 by letter, also was erected the parsonage, at a cost of $1800, and the stone meeting-house, at an out-station (Birchrunville), at a cost of $800. In May, 1862, Phebe Christman died, leaving a bequest of $300, the interest of which was to be paid towards the annual salary of the pastor. In November, 1864, the following deacons were ordained : J. H. Latshaw, Edwin Frick, George B. Stite- ler, Levi Prizer, and J. B. Latshaw. In September, 1866, Rev. T. C. Gessford was chosen pastor, and so 'continued until Feb. 25, 1869. In February, 1870, J. H. Sagebeer conducted a series of meetings with large accessions, and in the following month he was called as pastor. In Jan- uary, 1871, S. F. Forgues was licensed to preach. The church is in a most flourishing state, its Sunday-schools in good working order, and three out-stations are supplied with preaching, in addition to the pastor's labors at Vin- cent. The deed for the church lot is dated Aug. 23, 1797, from the West New Jersey Society, Peter Hamond, and others, by attorney Robert Morris, and its metes and bounds are as follows :

WINDSOR.

During the summer and fall of 1832 an extensive revival of religion took place at Vincent Baptist Church, then under the pastoral care of Rev. Charles Moore, by which large additions were made to the church. Several of these were from Uwchlan township, who, feeling the necessity of a place for religious worship nearer home, united, and in conjunction with older members of Vincent Church, to the number of 48, obtained letters of dismission for the purpose of organizing a Baptist Church in Uwchlan. These brethren and sisters met at the residence of Rev. Josiah Philips, one of their number, on April 12, 1833, and organized Windsor Baptist Church. On the following day Elder Leonard Fletcher preached for the church, after which a committee, appointed the previous day, reported a constitution, articles of faith, and a covenant, which were adopted, and remain as then adopted, except a slight alteration in the covenant.

Thus organized, the church met for worship at the rcsi- dence of Rev. Josiah Philips, who preached by request. During the summer of 1833 a house of worship, 40 by 60 fect, one story high, was erected on one and a half acres of land conveyed by Isaac Evans by deed of April 27, 1833. Joseph Beidler and Moses Lewis were appointed trustees. In the autumn a lease for a baptistery on land of Moses Lewis was made for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and a dressing-house and pool erected.

May 12, 1833, Philip Souders, Elijah Davis, Aaron Al- lison, and Thomas Severn were chosen deacons. A pro- tracted meeting was held in September, by which 59 persons were added to the church, In the following year 23 were added in the same manner. In the fall of 1833, Rev. Thomas C. Teasdale agreed to preach once a month for $100 a year, and on Oct. 11, 1834, Rev. Enos M. Philips made the same agreement. Nov. 7, 1834, Rev. Josiah Philips was invited to preach twice a month, and Rev. William Stedman once a month. Sept. 19, 1835, Rev. G. I. Miles, of West Chester, agreed to preach once a month for one year. As Rev. Josiah Philips continued his labors, it is probable there was preaching every Sabbath.

Jan. 7, 1837, Rev. T. S. Griffith was invited to preach once a month, and in April, 1840, he commenced to give the church his entire time. Prior to 1840 the church scems to have been troubled by the preaching of Mormon missionaries, who obtained a foothold a few miles north and west of the meeting-house.

Josiah Philips was unanimously elected elder of the church June 10, 1837, and on April 14, 1839, he agreed to serve as pastor for one year, being the first pastor men- tioned on the records .* April 11, 1846, he notified the

church that he had joined the Church of Christ, and re- quested to have his name erased, which was done. Fcb. 13, 1841, Morgan Philips, Balser Essick, Joseph Beidler, and Abraham Wagenseller were elected deacons, the first of whom resigned in 1846. Henry Essick (baptized Oct. 1, 1833) was, after preaching a sermon before the church, Feb. 9, 1839, licensed to preach, and soon after removed to Newtown. Rev. T. S. Griffith resigned his pastorate Jan. 1, 1845, and was succeeded by Rev. H. S. Haven, who died December 28th of the same year. May 10, 1845, the membership was 195. Rev. J. M. Richards was pastor from July 18, 1846, to Oct. 1, 1850; Rev. J. S. Eisen- brey from April, 1851, to March, 1852; Rev. Uriah Coff- man from March, 1853, until near his death, in the follow- ing year. Rev. Mr. Reese, of Montgomery County, preached every fourth Sabbath for several months. Rev. J. W. Grif- fith, a licentiate of Vincent, became pastor June, 1855, and continued four years. Rev. Jacob Lawrence, of Pequea, was pastor for four years from April, 1860, and was buried at Windsor a few months after his retirement. Rov. E. V. King, pastor of the East Brandywine Church, served both churches for nine months, when he removed from the State. Rev. John Owen began to supply the pulpit in June, 1865, and became pastor in October, which position he held until April, 1867. A union with East Nantmeal Baptist Church was soon after made, with Rev. D. J. R. Strayer as pastor, who entered upon his duties in April, 1868.

In September, 1869, the erection of a new house was commenced, and the basement was ready for occupancy in January following, but the building was not finished for several months. A brief history of the church was pub- lished in 1870, from which these facts are taken.

Rev. J. M. Guthrie, who has been pastor for some years, has resigned and become pastor of the Berean Church of West Chester in the present year.

FIRST BAPTIST, WEST CHESTER.

This church, whose present location is on the east side of South High, between Barnard and Union Streets, was .organized in 1834. Its records show that, according to appointment, a protracted meeting of the new association of Baptists was held at the court-house Nov. 27, 1833, and continued until December 20th. During this time the congregations were unusually large, and the services solemn, with great interest prevailing. Revs. Fletcher, Teasdale, Miles, Hall, Bradley, and Nichols were in attendance, and labored earnestly, with great power and effect. Many of the lay members attended from the Great Valley, Wind- sor, Goshen, Vincent, Brandywine, and other Baptist Churches. Nineteen persons were baptized, and many were awakened. Soon after this a meeting of Baptist believers, under the pastoral care of Rev. Thomas C. Teasdale, who was the first pastor, was held at the house of Robert Ferguson, Dec. 23, 1833, to take into consideration the expedicncy of constituting and duly organizing a Bap- tist Church in West Chester. After some preliminary ex- change of views, it was resolved that it was expedient to constitute a Baptist Church at this place, and that the same take place Jan. 23, 1834, and that U. V. Pennypacker be elected to represent that body at that time. A committee

# In July and August, 1842, a protracted meeting was held near the residence of James Guie, by which forty-five additions wero made to the church, nearly all of whom were dismissed in tho following February to form East Brandywine Church.

was appointed to draft a covenant and articles of faith, con- sisting of Rev. T. C. Teasdale and Messrs. Stetson and Pennypacker. Mr. Denny was selected as chorister. The meetings thus inaugurated continued to be held regularly until February 2d; the congregations were large, and a deep interest manifested. On one occasion 60 persons came out as subjects for prayer, and on the first Sabbath of the same month 14 were baptized, including Judge Nimrod Strickland, who became an earnest and active member. In the afternoon of that day the regular communion services were held, in which about 80 persons participated. Jan. 23, 1834, the " First Baptist Church of the Borough of West Chester" had been duly constituted in the court- house, with the following members :

Nathan Stetson, Robert Ferguson, Joseph Cave, U. V. Pennypacker, Isaac J. Riter, Orpha Williamson, Jane M. Quaintaneo, Elizabeth Entriken, Eliza S. Gorman, Margaretta Timher, Rev. Thomas C. Teasdale, Joseph Eavenson, John Keech, Samuel N. Potter, Ann Pot- ter, Ann Hunter, Julia Ames, C. M. Bird, Eupharoy Ann Sixcom, Susan Chalfant, Emina Entriken, John White, Sarah Ann Davis, Delia L. Teasdale, Ann Eavenson.

Of these twenty-five original members, the following only survive : Nathan Stetson, Rev. Thomas C. Teasdale, and Ann Eavenson, none of whom now live in West Chester. The first officers were: Pastor, Rev. Thomas C. Teasdale ; deacons, Samuel N. Potter, Robert Ferguson ; clerk, U. V. Pennypacker. April 21, 1835, a committee was appointed to purchase a lot on Church Street, between Market and Miner, which they did of Owen Stover for $400. This lot, 50 feet front, is now occupied by the resi- dence of George Fitzsimmons. After April 1, 1835, they were debarred the use of the court-house, and no regular services were held until Jan. 1, 1836. Samuel Bard built the new church edifice for $1665, and the cupola for $100; the building was 41 by 50 feet. In 1842 the tower and steeple were added at a cost of $575, including belfry, the bell being the one now used by the Fame Fire Company. The church was chartered in 1844 by the Legislature. In February, 1855, the old church and lot were sold to George Fitzsimmons for $1800. In May, 1854, the church com- mittee had bought a lot 64 feet 9 inches front* on High Street, and running back to the alley. Upon this the present church edifice was erected, pursuant to a plan furnished by Robert Lowry, a carpenter residing in West Chester, who undertook the building by contract. Ground was first broken June 3, 1854, and on July 4th the corner- stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The build. ing was so far completed that season that on the first Lord's Day in January, 1855, the lecture room was occu- pied. The finishing of the remaining part of the house was proceeded with as the funds of the church seemed to justify. Aug. 28 and 29, 1857, every part being finished, the house was formally dedicated, on whiel days the church for the first time occupied the main audi- ence-room. Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, of Philadelphia, preached the opening sermon from Matthew xxvi. 8: . " To what purpose is this waste." The dedication prayer was offered by Rev. Levi Parmley, a former pastor, after which

the pastor, Rev. Robert Lowry, in form announced the character of the house, and the purposes to which it was to be devoted. The church edifice is a brick structure, 81 by 41, and its lecture-room is above ground 11 feet clear. It cost, including lot, $10,811.67. Since then it has been remodeled and refitted, with a fine addition made to the rear of the building, and adjoining the lecture-room, of 40 by 50 feet, which is used for Sunday-school pur- poses by the infant schools. The pastors of the church have been :

PHOENIXVILLE.

As early as 1820 there was occasional Baptist preaching at this place, at private houses, school-houses, cte., the ven- erable Charles Moore, of the Vincent Church, regularly preaching one Sabbath in each month for some time. May 13, 1830, several persons met at the house of Hosea Nichols and agreed to organize a church, which was ac- complished on the 28th of the same month, with the fol- lowing constituent members : John T. Taylor, Jonas Shutt, George C. Nichols, Abigail Nichols, wife of Hosca Nichols, Tracy . Harding, Ruth Baylits, and Susan Jones. They elected John T. Taylor and Jonas Shutt deacons, and George C. Nichols clerk. The public services were held in the Methodist church the next day. The sermon was preached by Rev. John S. Jenkins, and the charge de- livered by Rev. Peter Powel. For more than two years there was no regular pastor, but they were occasionally sup- plied by Horatio Gates Jones, Sr., and others. In 1832 the members were reduced by removals to 3, when a pro_ tracted meeting was held, and 22 others were added. This meeting was held in a frame " shanty" of unplaned boards. The first pastor, Jonathan G. Collom, was ordained April, 1833, and continued till April 1, 1834. His successors bave been :
