Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Presbytery of Argyle of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, and Its Associate and Associate Reformed Predecessors It has been compiled mainly from the manuscript minutes of the several Presbyteries as contained in ten volumes. Some of these old records were kept in a very peculiar way, for they frequently merely refer to events and transactions without giving the facts themselves, so that they only notify the investigator of their exis tence and put him upon their track. There are also great gaps in some of these minutes. These partially revealed facts have been clearly made out and the gaps filled up from Synodic records, bio graphical collections, as Sprague's Annals and the Manual of the Reformed Church, old magazines, personal recollections, and by picking up an item here and another there as the result of an ex tensive correspondence. For valuable assistance rendered, thanks are due to many, but especially to the brethren of the Presbytery, to Dr. Forsytii, of West Point, Dr. Cooper, of Allegheny, Rev.
