1t is noteworthy that this FIRST meeting
was opened with sermon by the Rev. John
Brown, the pastor of the church. He was
then Ga years old, and was becoming ihGrm.
He was closing long and useful ministry,
and not long after removed to Kentucky
where he died. His wife was daughter of
John Preston, of Staunton, Va, the pious
ancestor of the PrestonS of Virginia and
Kentucky, and to whose memory they have
erected a suitable monument in the grave
ward of Tinkling Spring, where he lies
buried. She was woman Of superior en-
dowments, and many of their descendants
have risen to high distinction.
t. NAV also be noticed that the SYNOD has
mat fifteen times in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. than
in any other place. For some time it met
there wear after year. This was owing to
the fact that the old Redstone Presbytery of
Pennsylvania was then part of this Synod,
and Winchester was the most convenient point
Stanton and Lexington come next, at each
of which there have been eleven meetings.
