Anne-Marie here. Way back a Lynne Nelson through this list was nice
enough to provide me with information regarding the Paoli United
Methodist Church that was combined from several small churches. My
George W. Dougherty and Mary A. Moore are listed in an Orange County
marriage book indicating M.E. Church 11 Nov 1860 by David Osborn. From
the Orange County site here I was able to find that David Osborn was
Trustee in 1838 at the Methodist Church of Paoli the year it was
evidently built. In 1880 a new building was erected and this must be
where the combined churches must be. My ultimate hope is to find a
marriage entry for George and Mary and hopefully some witnesses that may
lead me to the family of George. Does anyone have the address for this
church? I have the parsonage phone number but that has been to no avail
as I have been getting the answering machine and the minister seems to
answer. I would like to write the church or better yet, find someone
who would go to the church in person and find out more about the record
keeping and old files. Anyone willing, or again the address and I can
attempt via letter?
