the building and there were no pews,
the worshipers being seated on benches
at first furnished by the occupant but
sulsw^uently placed there by- Du- vi-s

The church was floored about 1765,
and in 1767 a vestry house was built on
the site of the present Sunday schooL
It was not until 1844 that the present
paraouage was built. Capt. Isaac
Wayne, the father of Mad Anthony,
