NOTES.

5Baptisms Nos. 117-124 are entered in a wretched script, probably by the father himself. Notice the date of his wedding.

6'Nothino is known thus far about this Rev. Mr. Schmidt. Neither the Lutheran nor the Reformed records mention his name. He can hardly be identical with the Rev. Mr. Schmidt, who labored in Virginia before 1747. See Virginia Magazine, Vol. XII., p. 282. Nor can lie be identical with MIr. Charles Schmidt, mentioned in the next note, who signed himself as schoolmaster to the accounts of 1785.

7From a later signature, placed under the accounts of October 25, 1785, it appears that Charles Schmidt was the school teacher of the congregation. The chirography of the baptismal entries shows that he made them from 1784-'89.

'Rev. Gottlieb Abraham Deshler is mentioned in the record of the Frieden's Church, near Harrisonburg, as the first Lutheran pastor of that congregation in 1786.

9Rev. Frederick Henry Giese was settled in Loudon county, Va., 1783-1794. He supplied during that time numerous Reformed congrega- tions in Virginia. See Fathers of the Reformed Church, Vol. II., pp. 314-16.

" Rev. John. William Runkel was the Reformed pastor at Frederick, Md., 1785-1802. For a sketch of his life see Fathers of the Reformed Church, Vol. II., pp. 284-308.

" Johu Jacob Weymer was the Reformed pastor at Hagerstown, Md., 1770-1790. See Fathers, Vol. II., pp. 193-6.

12 Rev. Christian Streit was the Lutheran minister at Winchester, Va., after 1785. See Hallesche Nachrichten, Vol. I., p. 31.

13 Rev. William Carpenter was the pastor of the Hebron Church, in Madison county. See Hallesche Yachrichten, new ed., Vol. I., p. 582.

LETTERS OF WILLIAM T. BARRY. 19

"M Mr. Peter Ahl appeared before the Lutheran Ministerium of Penn- sylvania in 1790, asking to be admitted as a member of the Ministerium, but his request was not granted. See Documentary History of the Evan- gelical Lutheran 1}Iinisterium, 1898, pp. 231 f., 241. In the record of the I'rieden's Church, near Harrisonburg, Peter Ail is mentioned as, the third Lutheran pastor of that congregation. The list of the Lutheran pastors, as given in the Frieden's record, between 1786-1820, is as follows: "Gottlieb Teschler, Johann Georg Bottler, Peter Ahl, Adolph Stindel and Georg Riemenschneider. They served, no doubt, the Peaked Mountain congregation at the same time.

13 Candidate Carl Stock (Stochus is the Latinized form of the name) presented himself before the Lutheran Ministerium in 1791, asking to be ordained, but lie was advised to continue teaching school for a while (Documentary History, p. 241). He was licensed by the Ministerium in 1793. In 1796 and 1797 he is reported as serving the Peaked Moun- tain congregation (Documentary History, pp. 283, 290). He entered baptisms Nos. 235-2962, hence he was the pastor of the Lutheran congregation from October, 1795 to May, 1797.
