  	a Presbyteian
  	On 28 December 1828, he was recorded as purchasing, with Selah Hawkins, pew no. 14* for $10. This purchase allowed the use of the pew for his lifetime. Pew 14 was the second pew from the front in the center section. Samuel and Selah were third cousins. On 31 Oct 1836 he was elected and ordained as an Elder and a Deacon * Borthwick's assignment of pews is based on the arrangement of the pews in 1930 (and present). Yet, he reports that the interior of the church was rearranged at some point which placed the pulpit at the opposite end of the meeting house. Whether the pews were arranged in the same way then as now is problematical.
