The Manse of the church that was erected in 1865. (c1890) |
The 99-year-old Plain Grove Presbyterian Church (South Plain Grove) was lost to a devastating fire on Thursday, February 16, 1995. The congregation was already planning an addition to the old church and essentially had a head start on moving forward with a complete new building. The old church was soon cleared away and work on a new building commenced in August 1995. In the meantime the congregation held its services at nearby locations to include the East Lawrence Elementary School. The new $1.2 million church (shown above) opened for services on May 26, 1996. In 1999 the congregation celebrated its 200th anniversary and is still going strong today. (May 2012) Full Size |

I understand that a direct ancestor was the first elder at Plain Grove Presbyterian Church in 1798. I believe it was in Slippery Rock Twp, Butler County, now Plain Grove Twp, Lawrence County. Is there any way to verify this and to search the church directory for others.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Sincerely, William McNees

I know that Jane Davison (1780-1845) is buried in the South Plain Grove Cemetery from findagrave.com. Is it possible that there are records kept identifying the deceased, such as death certificate or mention of parents?
I am almost sure she was a sister of my 4x great-grandfather and daughter of James Kennedy of Huntingdon County.
