How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Presbyterian Church
First Presbyterian Church

Named in the 1879 county history

The history of Columbiana County was published 19 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The first elders of the church were John Calder, Hugh Jordan, and George Sloan. Mr. Robertson was the first stated pastor and preached until 1846, when he organized a Free Presbyterian congregation at Hanover, and preached for that church. After him, in the Presbyterian church, the pastors were Revs. Robert Dickson, Dalzell Carson, Robert Johnston, Dundas, and Miller. The church has at present about 80 members and depends upon supplies, Rev. Mr. Hare being the supply June, 1879. The elders now serving are Henry Swearingen, Wm. Martin, and Edward Dutton. The frame church erected in 1830 served until 1841, when it was replaced by the present brick structure.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Lisbon, 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.
