Notes for Isaac H. Davison
Isaac H. Davison / Sometime before 1835, and probably between 1832 and 1835, John Breckinridge, Isaac Davison
and James Glenn were elected and ordained as elders, and enrolled as members of session. John Brechinridge was dismissed
to the church of Centerville (Slippery Rock was known as Centerville), about the year 1838. Isaac Davison continued
in the session until his death, which took place May 8, 1849. John Glenn became alienated (cause to be no longer friendly)
from the church on account of the position the General Assembly (O.S.) had taken in 1845, on slavery. He ceased to act
as an elder and withdrew from the Presbyterian Church and united with the "Free Presbyterian Church" near Harrisville, to
which the Rev. J.C. Bigham then ministered. His name was dropped from the roll of the session and he declared no longer
in connection with the Presbyterian Church, by session April 3, 1850.
* at this time the decisions of the church membership and who would minister
to the congregation were left to the ecclesiastical court *
We now come to the time of Mr. Walker's settlement in 1839, when the recorded
minutes of the session begin. The ecclesiastical court of the church, at that time, consisted of the following 6 members:
Benjamin Jack, John McNees, Robert Stevenson, Jacob Emery, Isaac Davison and James Glenn. The following persons were
received on certificate; etc --- ***
From the Butler Repository newspaper dated April 24, 1829, a "List of letters"
remaining at the post office at Butler as of April 1, 1829 shows that Isaac Davison had a letter waiting for him. In
those days the recipient of a letter would go to the post office, pick up the letter and pay the postage due.
