Dr. Hoge, by appointment of Synod, presided and preached the open- ing sermon from Matt. 13 : 31, 32 (the Parable of the Mustard Seed) and was chosen the first Moderator and also the Stated Clerk-which latter office he held until October 3, 1807, when he was dismissed to the Pres- bytery of Hanover.
It may here be mentioned, that within three years of its organization, the boundaries of the Presbytery of Winchester were extended east of the Blue Ridge, so as to include the whole territory of the "Northern Neck," except the church at Alexandria. At its session in Winchester, Septem- ber 28, 1797, the Synod of Virginia took the following action, viz : "through the committee of overtures was now brought forward a proposition to en- large the bounds of Winchester Presbytery by the addition of the remain- der of the Northern Neck which belonged to the Presbytery of Hanover and the following is established as its Southern line, viz : beginning at Swift Run Gap, thence a straight line to the head source of the Rapidan River, thence down the said river to its confluence with the Rappahannock, thence down the said river to the Chesapeake Bay; which proposition was taken up by the Synod and agreed to."
It is not a little remarkable that within the limits of the immense terri- tory now added to the Presbytery, there does not appear to have been a single resident Presbyterian minister, nor, so far as we can find, a single Presbyterian church with the stated ministration of the Word. It is not easy to account for this in a region in which before the Potomac River was, in 1792, made the dividing line between the two Synods, the Presbytery of Carlisle and still earlier, the Presbytery of Donegal, had been so active and apparently so successful in missionary labor. It is probable that the field was too extensive for Hanover Presbytery, with its limited resources, to supply, and naturally the portion to which most of its members were strangers would be neglected, and therefore, with the concurrences of all parties, that part of the field was transferred to the new Presbytery. As soon as the transfer was made Winchester began very actively to supply the destitutions east of the Ridge, though its success in that region was never such as to inspire or encourage any inordinate measure of pride.
The five ministers constituting the Presbytery of Winchester at its or- ganization were, all of them, men whom the church may well hold in grate- ful remembrance for their exalted character and efficient services. All of

· them, perhaps, were above the average in ability and excellence. Two of them, Hoge and Hill, attained to great eminence in the church; while as an effective and popular preacher Legrand excelled them both ; and in scholarship and argumentative power Williamson was superior to them all. They were then all in the prime of life. Hoge, the eldest, was forty-three. Lyle, who entered the ministry at a more mature age than the rest, was not much younger than Hoge, and each of the other three was under thirty.
Four of these men were of Virginia birth and education, the fifth, Williamson, was a native of Scotland and a graduate of the University of Edinburg. All of them were men whose consecrated talents and fervent piety have left their lasting impress on the church.
The Presbytery organized by these distinguished pioneers was not marked at first by rapid growth. Their number was insufficient for the adequate cultivation of the large territory assigned them. Scarcely any candidates offered themselves for the ministry, and but few laborers could be induced to come to a region so remote, and, at that time so difficult of access. Yet these men were most faithful to their trust, and unremitting in their labors. But in a short time even their limited number was reduced by removal and sickness and death. The eminent talent, and ripe scholar- ship of Dr. Hoge were claimed for a more important field of usefulness ; and he was called to the Presidency of Hampden-Sydney College and to the office of training others for the ministry. A few months after his re- moval, Mr. Lyle succumbed to the hardships which his labors imposed, and he was laid in an unmarked and now unknown grave. Two years later the saintly Legrand was compelled to retire from the pulpit in shattered health, and before middle life was reached that eloquent voice, that had pleaded so earnestly and persuasively and successfully for the Master, was hushed in death. Only two of the five were permitted to see the ripe fruit of their labors. Long years before they were called to enter into the joy of their Lord, it was the privilege of Hill and Williamson to see the work they had begun expanding, and gratifying numbers added to their Pres- byterial roll, both of ministers and churches. And now, through the blessing of the Great Head of the Church upon their faithfulness and the faithfulness of those who labored with and have followed them, the Pres- bytery which started from such small beginning has attained a strength and exhibits a zeal that have given her a place among the foremost in activ- ity and influence. She has indeed "become two bands," but the venera- ble mother and her honored daughter (Chesapeake)-divided by the Blue Ridge, and covering together the Northern Neck-are diligently engaged, each with an earnest and able ministry in extending the Redeemer's King- dom and in training the churches which the fathers planted.

THE PLANTING OF PRESBYTERIANISM
TABULATED RECORD

Ministers, Licentiates and Candidates
-: OF :-
WINCHESTER PRESBYTERY.
In the following pages an effort is made to tabulate (in part) the records of all who have been connected with Winchester Presbytery whether as ministers, licentiates or candidates. These tables, it is be- lieved, will add materially to the interest and value of this volume. Their preparation has been attended with more difficulty than was anticipated, owing chiefly to the defective method in which the earlier Presbyterial Records were kept.
With the records of Licentiates no serious difficulty is found.
But as to Candidates the record is sometimes perplexing, partly, be- cause of the custom which formerly prevailed of receiving some young men not properly as Candidates, but as what were termed "Alumni of Presbytery"-i. e. as possible candidates, the cost of whose preparatory education the Presbytery assumed, while testing their fitness for the minis- try. Some of these are dropped after a time while others, their fitness having been approved, are placed on the roll of candidates. But often the · minutes fail to distinguish between these two classes, and quite as often fail to indicate when an "Alumnus" is formally received as a "Candidate." An additional perplexity arises from the fact, that, in repeated instances, the names of the Candidates disappear from the minutes, and no record is made accounting for their disappearance.
As to the Ordained Ministers, it is often very difficult to obtain even the limited record we have attempted to give of them. The names of some, after a period of service, disappear and the minutes fail to show whether this is due to their dismission to another Presbytery or to their death. This

failure, in some instances, we have been able to supply from other sources. A more frequent difficulty, however, has been to ascertain the fields in which many of our ministers have labored. Information on this point, especially in the earlier Records, is rarely given, except in connection with installations, and as these, at one time, were comparatively few, it is only from incidental statements or from sources outside of the Records that we have been able to determine to what churches or missionary fields the ser- vices of many of our ministers have been given. The statements under this head, therefore, may not always be absolutely accurate, but from the care taken to arrive at the facts, it is believed that the inaccuracies are not numerous.
The arrangement of these Tables, will, it is supposed, be readily un- derstood. The items tabulated are necessarily limited to such facts as the Records of the Presbytery furnish. An exception is made in the case of the five original members, the dates of whose licensure, ordination and death are given and also the names of the Presbyteries by which they were licensed and ordained.
In the column marked "Status When Received" "C" stands for Can- didate, "L" for Licentiate and "O" for Ordained Minister.
