| Transcript | Isaac Moorhead, of Killinchy, took us to visit in the community. He had many relatives in southern Ohio. In his company we had a delightful drive through that part of the country. He gave us its history. In his company we visited Mr Jas. [James?] Gourley, a magistrate, church treasurer, and influential man in the community. He gave us many valuable facts. He is preparing a history of the presbyterian Church of Killinchy. When this is completed we hope to receive a copy. At his home we had the pleasure of meeting other ladies and gentleman. We enjoyed this part of our visit very much. In addition to these visits we had the pleasure of seeing Mr John Patterson and his family. He is an old gentleman with a wonderful memory. He could recall the genealogy of the Patterson and Gourley families, and gave us facts accessible nowhere else. His family were very kind. He has two sons in Chicago. It is wonderful how many in the three kingdoms are bound by family ties to the Republic of the West. ------------------ |
