The ministers presiding over this congregation have been Joseph Leatherman, Isaiah Custer, James Kelso, James Fouch, James Quinter, Jacob. Mack, Joseph I. Cover, A. J. Sterling, and John Johnson. The two Jast mentioned are the present pastors. About 1861 the old log structure was torn down, and the site was used for the new frame church which is now used by the church. About 1860 there was a Sabbath-school organized in connection with this church, through the labors and under the superin- tendency of William Moser. It remained in exist- ence some three or four years.

WALNUT HILL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

There was a society at Walnut Hill as early as 1815, and shortly after that (in 1821) they were successful in building a church, which they used for many years and then converted it into a school-house. The build- ing stood near the residence of Mr. William Trader. George Watters was the chief mover in the organiza- tion of this society. Others of the original members were George Griffith, Michael Mink, Noble MeCor- mick, Mrs. Michael Mink, Harriet McCormick, Mary McCormick, Catherine Griffith, Sarah Griffith, Elisha (Griffith, and Mrs. Elisha Griffith. On the 17th of January, 1821, a deed for the lot of ground upon which the church was to be built was made by Thomas Downard and Barbara, his wife, to George Griffith, Michael Mink, and Noble McCormick, trustees of the church, the consideration having been ten dollars, for a certain lot from the tract of land called Thomas- town, situate in Georges township, adjoining of James

Fouch and Joseph Hadden, containing fifty-eight perches. When this building had become so much dilapidated that it was no longer fitted for the pur- pose for which it had been built, the society held meetings at private houses and the school-house. About the year 1850 the members concluded that it was best to have a new house of worship. A sub- scription paper was started, and with such able men as John A. Sangston, John N. Freeman, Howard Griffith, and Andrew MeClellan to aid in the prog- ress of the work it soon took definite shape, and the elegant new brick church building in which the con- gregation now worships was built. John N. Freeman, John A. Sangston, Howard Griffith, and Andrew MeClelland all aided with both means and influence to the project. Since that time this church has been very prosperous. The Sabbath-school, which was or- ganized soon after 1850, has been kept up as a sum- mer school. Mr. John N. Freeman bequeathed to the Methodist Episcopal Church five hundred dollars at his death. He was for a great many years actively identified with this the church of his choice. Some of the ministers have been L. R. Beacom, who was pastor in charge when it was built; Joseph Hor- ner, Henry Long, William K. Fouch, William C. P. Hamilton, H. Snyder, W. K. Brown, Isaac P. Sadler, John McIntire, E. B. Griffin, T. H. Wilkinson, Rich- ard Jordan, A. R. Chapman, J. L. Stiffy, Charles MeCaslin, J. Momyer, D. J. Davis, Sylvanus Lane, M. D. Litchliter, R. J. White, John T. Stiffy, and W. L. McGrew, the present pastor. It has belonged to Fayette Cirenit, and has been allotted the same pastors the other charges have had. Sometimes John Water- man, H. B. Bascom, John Fielding, Simon Lanck, Thornton Fleming, and other prominent ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church preached to this congregation. Some of the officers in more recent years have been : Stewards, John N. Freeman, James Lewis, William Trader, James Sessler, and Joseph Sangston ; Leader, James Lewis ; Trustees, John N. Freeman, James Lewis, William Trader, James Sess- ler, Joseph Sangston.

Squire Hayden has been a local preacher, and is connected with this church. In 1878, under the pas- toral charge of Rev. John T. Stiffy, this church was remodeled and painted and papered at an expense of two hundred dollars.

SABBATH-SCHOOLS.

Perhaps the very first Sabbath-school in the town- ship, and certainly one of the earliest in the county, was called the "Ore Bank Sabbath-school." Eliel Freeman was the superintendent in 1825. It was a Union school.

In 1842 a Sabbath-school was organized at Leather- man's school-house. Solomon Smith, Esq., was super- intendent. This was a Cumberland Presbyterian school. For the past twenty years there has been a Union school at the Leatherman school-house. Dur-

ing this time Solomon Smith, Reuben Hague, Hum- phrey Humphreys, Esq., John C. Miller, and Lucien Leech have acted as superintendents. This school is in session about six months in the year.

The Tent Church Presbyterian school was organ- ized about 1828, Eliel Freeman having been the first superintendent. He has been succeeded by the fol- lowing gentlemen : J. Kennedy Duncan, Alexander Deyarınon, Alfred Stewart, William Custead, John Smith, and John Oliphant. It is a summer school.

The Fairchance Presbyterian school was opened by the efforts of Dr. Ashbel Fairchild, J. Kennedy Dun- can, and Fidelio H. Oliphant. The superintendents of this school have been Fidelio H. Oliphant, Wil- liam Pastories, J. Kennedy Duncan, Samuel Duncan, Joshua V. Gibbons, and Esquire Humphrey Humph- reys.

The Mount Moriah Union school was one of the first in the field. Previous to 1820 Mr. Basil Brown- field attended Sabbath-school in the old " Log Meet- ing-honse" at Smithfield. At that time Phineas Stur- gis was the superintendent. At that early day there was some dissension as to the propriety of having the school in the church ; subsequently it was held for a number of years at private residences. In 1852 the Baptist Church organized a school, and held the ses- sions in the "Brick Church." In 1838 the Mount Moriah Church held Sabbath-school services in the church for a while. Since the last organization, April 1, 1852, the school has been continued, and the place of meeting has been the church. The school is in session twelve months.

The Methodist Episcopal school was organized by William MeCleary about 1850. The next superin- tendent was William P. Green, and since that time Dr. Henry B. Mathiot and John Downey have pre- sided over the school in the capacity of superintend- ent. Under the superintendency of William Mc- Cleary the school made wonderful progress. He acted as its presiding officer until his removal from Smithfield. In 1861 the numerical strength of this school was one hundred and twenty-five. The num- ber on the roll at present is in excess of one hundred. The school is in session all of the year.

The Haydentown Union school was organized as early as 1838, in the school-house, by F. H. Oliphant and Thomas Faw. Since then the school has had for its superintendents Rev. John McCarty and James D. Lowe.

Paull's Union Sabbath-school has been in existence for about twenty years as a summer school. Mr. George T. Paull was instrumental in securing its organization. The superintendents have been Phineas G. Sturgis, John E. Patton, Joseph Hickle, Andrew J. Stewart, George Miller, and Charles H. Mathiot.

For a number of years a Union Sabbath-school was in existence at the Fairchance Methodist Protestant Church.

The Walnnt Hill Methodist Episcopal Sabbath-

school was organized about 1850. The superintend- ents have been Benjamin King, John M. Freeman, and Lucien Leech.

WOODBRIDGETOWN.

This was originally Mifflintown, named, we believe, in honor of Governor Thomas Mifflin. It was then a town of some importance. Here John Hall, Joseph Taylor, Aaron Joliff, and David Trystler kept tavern. Col. Thomas Brownfield had a tannery soon after 1800; this tannery was built and for a time operated by Joseph Mendenhall. Benjamin Paine had here a carding-machine before 1800. There was an old school-house here. John Tedrick taught here, as also Phineas G. Sturgis.

FAIRCHANCE.

This place has grown with the increased prosperity of the furnace, until at present it is a town of con- siderable importance. In this town there are two churches, viz., Presbyterian and Methodist Protestant, and for a time there was a Cumberland Presbyterian. The history of these churches will be found under their respective titles. For a great many years F. H. Oliphant and others who were engaged in the furnace business have had a company store at this place. In more recent years the Fairchance Iron Company's store and those of Robert Goldsboro and James Shay have been doing the mercantile trade.

SMITHFIELD.

This town was laid out by Barnabas Smith on the 13th day of June, 1799. The tract upon which it was laid out was known as "Beautiful Meadows," and was originally the property of Jonathan Reese, who patented it Feb. 10, 1787. Barnabas Smith married Elizabeth Reese, daughter of Jonathan Reese, and through ber received this tract of land. John Fisher bought a lot in the town, which was then known as Smithfield; his purchase was made on May 13, 1801. Another lot was bought by Samuel D. Bowman, May 30, 1801. The consideration he paid was fourteen dollars for No. 11 in the plan of Smithfield. Other lot-buyers were Robert Brownfield, Benjamin Wheeler, David Hartman, Isaac Groover, and Samuel Ken- nedy.

From the very first the name of the town was Smith- field. The Brownfields owned land nearly all around the town. About the time of the war of 1812 it was decided by the governmental authorities to open a post-office in Smithfield,'and then the question arose, What should the office be named ? Some were in favor of Smithfield, while others favored Brownfield- town. To settle the matter in dispute it was left to the voters of the township to decide what the name of the new post-office should be. Robert Brownfield furnished whisky freely to one of the tavern-keepers, and Barnabas Smith gave an equal quantity to an- other tavern-keeper, and these gave the ardent freely to the voters. The day was almost gone, and no vot-

ing had been done as yet, when Col. John Oliphant put in an appearance on the scene, and seeing that the voters were too drunk to properly exercise their right of suffrage he mounted a store-box, and calling them to order he said, " We have met for the laud- able purpose of giving a name to our new post-office, but as the day is far spent and I see no chance of de- ciding by ballot, now I propose to decide vira roce. I would like to accommodate both of the gentlemen with at least a part of the name. Mr. Smith's first name is Barnabas, but we all call him 'Barney ;' Mr. Brownfield's given name is Robert, but we all call him 'Bob.' Now I move you that the name of this town hereafter be 'Barney Bobtown.'" The mo- tion received a second, was put, and unanimously adopted. But the name of the post-office always re- mained Smithfield. The first postmaster was Andrew Collins, who kept the mail in his store-room. This was during the war of 1812. The mail was received once a week. David Campbell was mail-carrier, and made the weekly trip on horseback. After Andrew Collins James Caldwell was postmaster, and the office has been maintained ever since its organization, a period of nearly seventy years.

About the year 1800, Henry Whistler had an oil- mill where Wood's tannery now stands.

In and before 1800, Thomas Wynn had an oil-mill at Fairchance, and made flaxseed oil.

James Martin had a wagon-making shop on the Morgantown road for about ten or fifteen years. He bought from Edward Coombs, who erected it about 1830, and operated it many years.

Isaiah Jones made powder for a number of years at the works built by Jones & Sammons, about 1830, near Woodbridgetown. Some of their powder was used by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company for blasting purposes.

An old blacksmith-shop was carried on at the cross-roads near Deyarmon's, on the Morgantown road, for many years. Henry Smith manufactured powder on York's Run before 1800. Recently Jacob Ruble has erected a blacksmith-shop near his mill. It is in charge of Mr. Rhodes.

Israel and John Sheeler built a foundry, which was afterwards owned and operated by Stephen Rich- ards, G. G. Clemmer, John E. Patton, and John Mc- Curdy. The last named were the last operators as a foundry, after which it passed into the hands of Isaac Franks, who converted it into a grist-mill. He asso- ciated Jacob Ruble with him in the business. Some three years ago the mill was burned and never re- built.

John Semmes, Jere Archer, Lewis Grimes, John (etzendiner, Elijah Sutton, William Utt, Samuel Reese, Washington Reed, Jacoh Fordyce, Daniel Fordyce, Johnston Divilbess, James Huhn, and Squire Bradley have followed the trade of blacksmithing in the township.

There have been two pottery establishments in the town. One was built about 1800 by Robert Brown- field. In 1803 he sold it to John Fisher. Another came into existence afterwards. These were carried on by Stephen Richards, Matthias Allensworth, Charles Brownfield, Jr., and Dunn & Clemmer. Both of them ceased operations long since.

THE GEORGES CREEK TRADING COMPANY

was organized in 1816, to do a general banking and trading business in the town of Smithfield. The movers in this enterprise were James Brownfield, B. Stevens, A. McMasters, William Abraham, John Show- alter, James Showalter, Basil Brownfield, and Richard Patton. Of these James Brownfield was made the first president. The clerk elected was Richard Patton, and the directors or board of managers were B. Stevens, A. MeMasters, William Abraham, John Showalter, James Showalter, and Basil Brownfield.

The officers of the company were to consist of a presi- dent, clerk, and board of managers. Those first elec- ted to these offices should retain their positions until the last Monday in March, 1817, at which time a new election was to be held. The capital stock was not to exceed fifty thousand dollars. The shares were to be twenty dollars each, payable in gold, silver, or current bank-notes equivalent thereto.

The banking-room was in the brick building then owned by Mr. Basil Brownfield, and now owned and occupied by Mr. William Campbell as a hotel parlor. This banking institution was in existence in 1819, October 10th (see Mount Moriah Baptist Church minutes, volume xi. page 22). In 1822, by action of the stockholders, it was decided to dissolve the part- nership and discontinue the business, accordingly all the outstanding paper money of the concern was called in, redeemed in coin, and burned.

JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.

The township was well represented in this office in the days when the justices were appointed by the Supreme Executive Council. The first occupants of the office after the organization of Fayette County

were Philip Rogers and Robert Richey; the latter gentleman served in this capacity for more than twenty years under appointment from the Governor. Others holding this office have been Andrew Oliphant, Enoch Abraham, Abraham Stewart, Richard Patton, Daniel Thomas, Stephen Richards, Samuel Nixon (at one time associate judge), Squire Ayers, William Abraham, James Brownfield, Solomon Smith, Joel G. Leatherman, George Hertzog, Thomas Trader, James Beeson, Alexander Brownfield, Thomas Williams, Humphrey Humphreys, Alfred Core, George Meason, John R.

Hon. John Brownfield, son of James Brownfield, was born near Smithfield, Dec. 28, 1808. On the 10th of January, 1833, he married Belinda, daughter of John Hustead. Both are living. Mr. Brownfield has twice had the honor of associate judge conferred upon him, serving in that capacity from 1852 to 1862.

Dr. Emanuel Showalter commenced the practice of physic in Smithfield some forty or fifty years ago, and afterwards went South, where he became eminent in his profession.

Alexander Clear was one of the early school-teach- ers of Fayette County, and a very excellent one he is said to have been. About the time of the war of 1812 he was engaged in his calling in the town of Monroe. He afterwards settled in Georges township, and taught for a number of years. He was a Chris- tian gentleman, and was noted for his fine accomplish- ments as a penman. He removed, with his son Thomas, to Cumberland about 1845.

Dr. William Hampton McCormick, son of James McCormick, was born near Smithfield in 1826. After reading medicine with Dr. Smith Fuller, Uniontown, he attended Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he graduated, after which he began the prac- tice of his profession at Donegal, Westmoreland Co., Pa., where he practiced for a while, and then changed his location to Grantsville, Md., and from there he went to Cumberland, where he has been practicing ever since. His practice has been a remunerative one, and he has amassed a considerable fortune.

Dr. James F. McCormick, son of James McCor- mick, was born near Smithfield, July 6, 1839. He received an academical education at Carmichaelstown, Greene Co., Pa., and at Georges Creek Academy, Smithfield, after which he read medicine under his brother Hampton and attended Jefferson Medical College. After completing his studies he located at Petersburg, Somerset Co., Pa., but afterwards went West, and commenced practicing at Quincy, Ill., and from there he went to Menden, III., and from thence changed to Fowler, where he built up a good practice, but his health failed, and he died there in 1874.

Dr. Alcynus Young McCormick, son of James Mc- Cormick, was born and raised near Smithfield. He attended school at Carmichael's, Greene Co., and

Georges Creek Academy with his brother. He then read medicine under his brother Hampton in Cum- berland, attended Jefferson Medical College, where he completed his studies, and then located in Fred- erick City, Md., where he practiced during the latter part of the Rebellion. When his brother James be- came siek he located at Fowler, Ill., on the Quincy and Burlington Railroad, and is still practicing there.

Rev. Samuel Woodbridge was the founder of the town which bears his name. He came to this com- munity at a very early date. He was the pastor of the Mount Moriah Baptist Church as early as 1785. Almost contemporaneous with the erection of the church just spoken of he built in Woodbridgetown a Seventh-Day Baptist Church.

Dr. James Brownfield, son of ex-Judge John Brown- field, was born and reared in the town of Smithfield, studied medicine, and is at present practicing in Fair- mount, West Va.

in the public schools for a number of years, after which he attended lectures at Jefferson Medical Col- lege, and is at present practicing at Fairchance.

Rev. W. W. Hickman was licensed to preach by Mount Moriah Baptist Church Nov. 11, 1843, since which time he has presided over the Flatwoods, Uniontown, and Waynesburg charges. He is a man eminently fitted for the ministry, and exceedingly popular and useful in his sacred calling.

Rev. George W. Hertzog was raised in this town- ship. In January, 1855, he was licensed to preach at Mount Moriah Baptist Church, and since then has been actively engaged in his ministerial duties.

Phineas G. Sturgis was licensed by the Mount Moriah Church to preach Oet. 7, 1854. For a num- ber of years past he has been engaged in merchan- dising, and is at present following that business, having as a partner Mr. Luther W. Burchinal, who has been for many years one of the most enterprising business men in this township. His occupation orig- inally was that of architect and builder. He had the contract for building the Georges Creek Academy and the Mount Moriah Baptist Church.

Gideon G. Clemmer was prominently connected with the Georges Creek Academy and the organiza- tion of Gallatin Lodge of Odd-Fellows. A number of years since he went West, where he is now engaged in the banking business.

Dr. U. L. Clemmer was raised near Smithfield, practiced medicine in that town for several years, after which he removed to Brownsville. For a num- ber of years he was editor and publisher of the Greenback Banner and Labor Idrocate.

Dr. Clayton Richards was born in Smithfield, edu- cated at Jefferson Medical College, and is now prac- ticing in West Virginia.

Mr. A. J. Stewart has been one of the most enter- prising and successful merchants of Smithfield for a number of years.

Rev. Joseph Leatherman eame to Georges township in 1799. He was a Dunkard or German Baptist preacher, and was for a number of years pastor of the Grove German Baptist Church in this township.

Rev. Isaac Wynn, a Baptist minister, has always been a resident of this township, and preaches very acceptably to the people through this and adjoining townships, usually holding his meetings in the school- houses. He resides near Oliphant.

Rev. Andrew J. Osborn, a Cumberland Presbyte- rian minister, was raised near Fairchance. During the war of the Rebellion he acted as chaplain of the Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. He had six sons in the service. Four of his sons belonged to the same company he enlisted in, viz., Company E. He preached for the Cumberland Church at Fair- chance for a number of years.

Dr. Frederick Patton, son of Alexander Patton, read medicine under Dr. H. B. Mathiot, and after attend- delphia, he practiced for a while as partner of Dr. Mathiot. About ten years ago he went to West New- ton, Pa., and located there, where he still remains.

Dr. James Holbert was born in Georges. He taught . ing the lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Phila-

It has been persistently claimed and believed by many that Gen. Sam Houston, President of the re- public of Texas, and afterwards Governor and United States senator from that State, was a native of the township of Georges, born at Woodbridgetown, where his father, Paul Houston, was a tavern-keeper about the year 1800, and that the young Houston was in his youth a schoolmate of Basil Brownfield, in Georges. It is no doubt correct that there was a Samuel Hous- ton of which all this was true, but that it was not Gen. Houston, of Texas, is rendered more than prob- able from the testimony of one who unquestionably knew whereof he spoke. That one was no less a per- sonage than the Hon. Thomas H. Benton, United States senator from Missouri, who, in his "Thirty Years in the United States Senate" (vol. i. p. 676), says, "Gen. Sam Houston was born in the State of Virginia, county of Rockbridge; he was appointed an ensign in the army of the United States during the late war with Great Britain, and served in the Creek campaign under the banners of Jackson. I was the lieutenant-colonel of the regiment to which he belonged, and the first field-officer to whom he re- ported."
