The church referred to as in the "forks of Plum Run," is now the "Old Hill" Church, in Freedom Township, which, to this day, has its "five acres." The Manor line, when finally run out, passed through these five acres.
The tract given to the "Presbyterian Congregation in Cumberland Town- ship" in 1775, became, in 1785, the "Upper Presbyterian Congregation of Marsh Creek," as is fully told in the chapter concerning that church.
CHAPTER VI.
THE " LITTLE CONEWAGO" SETTLEMENT -- " DIGGES' CHOICE"-LAND PURCHASES IN 1734, 1738 AND 1742-RECORDS OF 1752.
TI THE settlement made by Andrew Shriver was in the proprietary tract, "Digges'
Choice." John Digges, an Englishman, had received a grant from Lord Baltimore, whose conflicting claim with Penn's claims under his grant was the "disputed lands." Digges took out his warrant in 1727 and had it surveyed in 1732. It was the oldest land title and the earliest survey in the strip of dis- puted lands. The tract as surveyed contained 6,822 acres and was described as lying on "Little Conewago." It principally lay in what is now Adams County, but passed into York County. In this county it comprised the present limits of Germany and Conowago Townships. Littlestown is on the south- western extremity of this tract.
As stated in a preceding chapter, the earliest settlement in this county was made by purchasers under Digges. Soon there came others who had pur- chased rights from Penn, and thus the conflict between Penn and Baltimore soon passed to the settlers, and turmoils and lawlessness, and at times violent aets with bloodshed, were for years continued, with many circumstances to make the lives of the settlers miserable. Digges commenced selling to settlers as early as 1731. In publie documents relating to affairs of the earliest land transactions here are found as purchasers in 1734-the year Andrew Shriver came the names of Martin Kitzmiller, William Logstone. Martin Ungefar and Valentine Evler.
We give these dates from the records, not as positively indicating the year the purchasers came: because we can readily understand that ordinarily the settlers would be in the country some time before purchasing land, and in other cases they purchased before they actually moved onto the ground.
In the order of dates are found, in 1738, purchasers Jacob Youngblood and (on a branch of Codorus Creek) Derrick Youngblood. Peter Rysher, Peter Shultz. John Martin Inyfoss. Martin Brin, Abraham Sellers and Henry Sellers. In the same year, Nicholas and his son Mathias Ullery, Mathias

In 1752 the records show there were forty persons living on tracts sold under Maryland rights, in York County, the majority of whom were in what is now Adams County, as follows: Martin Buyers, Michael Behler, Casper Berkhamer, John Counts, Adam Cook, George Coffinan, John Digges, Conrad Eekron, Nicholas Farney, George Frush, Peter Gerson, Andrew Hainer, Phillip Kinspoor, Henry Cone, Cornelius McGean, Peter Middlecauf.

The next point of settlement made was on the "Manor of Maske," as re- lated in the chapter on that subject elsewhere.
CHAPTER VII.
EARLY MARRIAGES-REV. ALEXANDER DOBBIN-HIS SON, JAMES-RECORD OF MARRIAGES DURING REV. ALEX. DOBBIN'S ENTIRE PASTORATE, 1774 TO 1808.
E XTENDED accounts of Rev. Alexander Dobbin are to be found in other chapters. He was a native of Londonderry, Ireland, born February 27, 1742 (O. S.), corresponding with March 7, 1743, and died at his home near Gettysburg, June 1, 1809. He was educated in Glasgow, and ordained by the Reformed Presbytery of Ireland and sent as a missionary to this country. coming direct to what is now Adams County, and took charge of the "Rock Creek" congregation that had " called " for him. He first preached in the old log church, a mile north of Gettysburg, near what became the site of Blocher's iron and wood works. The church stood on what is Mr. Hollinger's farm; in that day was owned by Minor Reed, as Blocher's was then owned by John Pat- terson. The exact date of the building of the "log church " cannot be now known, but it was prior to 1773. The road passing by this place to Gettysburg had not then been laid out, but there was a connecting road between the old Carlisle and the Mummasburg road. which struck the latter at a point just west of the Gate-house, now occupied by S. Kitzmiller. The old church did good service for over thirty years, when it was torn down and the materials carried away, but the foundation marks were visible for many years. As related else- where the congregation moved to town and built a brick church, the first of the kind in Gettysburg.
Mr. Dobbin was a most exemplary and excellent man. He took an active part in the union of the Associate and Reformed Churches, which was effected in 1782. The United Church was known as the Associate Reformed Church of North America.
When Rev. John Murray, pastor of the " Old Hill " Church, near the border of Carroll's tract left, Mr. Dobbin became the pastor of that church also, dividing his time between the two congregations.
Mr. Dobbin was a man of superior mind and education. He was deeply interested in the temporal as well as spiritual welfare of the people. He opened

HISTORY OF ADAMS COUNTY.
a school in his own house the Dobbin property -the large old stone house standing near the forks of the Taneytown and Emmittsburg road in Gettysburg. This was the first classical school west of the Susquehanna. Among the chil dren of this pioneer alma mater are well remembered Rev. H. R. Wilson and John Boreland, formerly professor of Dickinson College; Rev. M. Hays, an- thor of a poem entitled " The Seasons:" Rev. Dr. MeCanaughy, for many years president of Washington College; and the Rev. Dr. Proudfit, many years pro- fessor of languages in Union College; Judge Reed, of Carlisle, professor in Dickinson Law School; Judge Blythe, who became Secretary of the Common- wealth; J. M. Miller, M. D., professor in the Medical College in Baltimore. These and others who became eminent in the world and who had been so hap- pily started along life's pathway by their loved and venerated teacher, Rev. Mr. Dobbin, were natives of this county. A large proportion of his pupils be- came eminent in the varied walks of life-a greater number in proportion to the whole than have ever come from any other high school perhaps in the State.
The remains of Rev. Dobbin lie buried in Lower Marsh Creek burying ground, where he. his two wives and several of his children are buried.
The above faets were chiefly furnished by Rev. Jameson, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church.
The second son of Mr. Dobbin, James, was a member of the bar of Adams County, and is well remembered for his many eccentricities of character. He was born January 14, 1777; died October 6, 1852. During the latter part of his life he had desk room in the office of A. R. Stevenson, Esq., who, from this circumstance, came into the possession of Rev. Mr. Dobbin's record of mar- riages during his entire pastorate: a most valuable paper, indeed, as it is a recovery of valuable information that otherwise could never have been gath- ered. There are '216 marriages recorded of the generation that has passed away. The large number shows, conclusively, that for this sacred office there was no one so sought after, far and wide, as the Rev. Mr. Dobbin.
