Named in the 1911 county history
The history of Guernsey County was published 2 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.
At this early day most of the settlers belonged to some branch of the Presbyterian Church, but no church was erected because each settler insisted on worshiping as he had been accustomed; therefore they worshiped in churches outside of the township, many in the Union Churcli at Washington, in Wills Township. This was the Associate Reformed Church. Some were members of the Presbyterian organization southeast of Washington. At an earl}- day Rev. Alexander McCoy, who, with Rev. Robert Warwick, founded the Reformed Dissenting Presbyterian Church, January 27, 1801, came here and preached at the house of James Bratton, five miles east of Cambridge, on the Steubenville Road. The Dissenters then organized the Wills Creek congregation of the Reformed Dissenting Presbytery.

Provenance
Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Guernsey County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
