In the county-history sources
163,964 words on this townshipJournal of the Missouri State Convention, Held at the City of St. Louis, October, 1861, published 1861 names this settlement in its chapter on St. Louis City. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.
Mr. BRECKINRIDGE said he was informed that Mr. Monroe, the regularly elected Chaplain, was not in the city, and probably would not be. He (Mr. B.) knew nothing himself of his whereabouts or the probability of his being here, but he thought it was necessary that they should have a Chaplain. It was thought necessary at the beginning of the ConVention ; and if it was necessary then, it was eminently more so now. Mr. Porter was the pastor of one of the churches in this city, and, although this resolution was offered without his consent, he presumed Mr. Porter would, at the request of the Convention, act as its Chaplain.
