Synopsis "History of Mahoning Presbyterian Church, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania 1798-2019: The Tent Hall Church (in English)"
This work includes a thorough history of this frontier congregation that began worshiping there in 1798, and originally known as Tent Church and Tent Hall (because they worshipped in a tent). Located very near the Ohio border, the Mahoning Church has been in continuous operation for over 220 years! Originally formed as an Associate Presbyterian, the book follows the congregation's journey through various denominations over its long history. The compilation follows the lives of its preachers and congregants. Extensively sourced, it also contains historical church records of baptisms from the early 1800s, and burials in the adjacent cemetery from 1811. The cemetery was first referred to as McBride's Hill and Tent Hall and is the final resting place for at least four Revolutionary War Soldiers. A beautifully written memoir of Daisy Crespi, a student from the old Tent Hall School, also forms a part of this comprehensive work. The old Tent Hall School, established around 1808, stood for years on the church property and photos of various classes are included. A must for any genealogist researching early Mercer County and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania ancestors, as well as those in neighboring Lowellville and Poland, OH.
