of members in and about the township of Ruscomb-manor, a lot of ground
containing one acre, and a ‘House of Divine Worship’ thereon erected.
This lot is part of the Price tract. The trustees of the society then
were Martin Gaube, David Kinsey, Christian Kinsey and John
Beyler...Gaube the first preacher. Among the members were persons
belonging to Kenzie, Reublemoyer, Fiant and Price families...Among the
