Roger Benton was a Methodist Episcopal minister, who began in 1792 as a circuit rider and located in Newark ca 1805. He is my 5th gr-grandfather's brother. He built a log home on the land he purchased, where the Newark Cemetery is now located on North Main St. In his home he built a large room where the first ME services were held.He iscredited with the founding of Methodism inNewark. In 1815, with his own money he built a small church.In 1827 a larger church was built in the village of Newark.At that time the small church was moved and converted to a residence where in 1881 Rev. Wesley Benton (should be John Wesley Benton), his son lived. Hope this helps, Carol Slotnick cslotnick@home.com carol@boxes-in-the-attic.com | |

March 23-30, 1924," by Rev. Walter S. Wright, Pastor. 1852-1854. Rev. D.D. Buck, D.D., pastor, died June 7, 1895, at Geneva, after 58 years in the ministry. "A strong preacher and a great student and writer." Many interesting things are told of his pastorate here. He was original and dared to speak his opinions through slow to speak against slavery. He reformed the practice of turning the back to the preacher during singing. His pronunciation was a little peculiar, his manners quite stiff and he was very precise in his sermons. The agitation over the slavery question seems to have broken out afresh and to have become very bitter. A dog was thrown in the window of one of the churches during service to illustrate the contempt held for the position taken by the clergy. Rev. F.G. Hibbard was presiding elder. 1864-1866. Rev. D.D. Buck, D.D., again pastor. Salary, $1,000. First mention of a vacation on record of quarterly conference. "Resolved that two or three weeks' leave of absence be granted to the pastor." |

| Rev. Fredericis Feary | Newark | Protestant Episcopal | 1865-1920, Newark Main Street Cemetery; 17 March 17, 2002 - From: Tom and Tracey Tom Feary. Greetings! My great grandfather was Rev. Frederic Feary of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Newark. I love the old photo you have online and I swiped it for my family tree (hope you don't mind). I also noted your records of Fred being buried in Main Street Cemetery in Newark - another good find for me. I was wondering if you have any other photos of Fred at the church, or any other information pertaining to Fred? Fred was the Rector at St. Mark's from 1913 to 1919. Frederic Feary was born in Cambridgeshire County, England in or around 1865. He attended Revere Lay College (in Revere, Mass.) and graduated on May 20, 1896. He completed his studies at Bangor Theological Seminary in 1899. He was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church in December, 1904. He was rector of St. Mark's Church in Newark, NY from 1913-December 31, 1919. He died in Port Gibson, NY on February 16, 1920. Thanks! [Tom, no pics of your g-grandfather, but you're more than welcome to collect our photos for your family tree!] |

One Hundredth Anniversary. First Methodist Church. Penn Yan, New York. March 23-30, 1924," by Rev. Walter S. Wright, Pastor. 1846-1848. Rev. William H. Goodwin, D.D., L.L.D., pastor, died February 17, 1875. A man of unusual magnetic qualities as a speaker, an orator who at once captivated his audience. As a preacher he was the opposite of his predecessor. So elaborate was his vocabulary that one member remarked he would have to take his dictionary to church with him. In 1854 he was state senator from Ontario and Livingston counties. He loved to fish and would visit his favorite fishing grounds at George Sherman's [note: George Sherman of Penn Yan, N.Y.] place as often as three times a week, where he has been known to linger for the last strike until he was forced to run part of the way in order to reach home before prayer meeting. On one occasion when visiting Jeptha Potter at Yatesville, the pastor using a fine outfit caught only three fish, while "Brother Jeptha" caught fifteen speckled beauties with a hickory sprout for a rod. History indicates that the pastor was a better fisher of men than of fish. "He was a great story teller. He could beat any man reading a hymn that ever stood in a pulpit - it would just lift one out of the seat." Also preached at Penn Yan. during 1870-72 pastorate of W.R. Benham. |

Wright, Pastor. 1839-1840. Rev. Freeborn G. Hibbard, D.D., pastor, died January 27, 1895, after fifty-eight years spent in the ministry. He was later presiding elder, editor of The Northern Christian Advocate, wrote much for the religious press and was an author of distinction. He needs no eulogy here; he left lasting impressions wherever he went, "A great Bible scholar, but did not enthuse." "Sedate and solid in all his ways and addresses." 1841-1843. Rev. Freeborn G. Hibbard, again pastor. This was a history making epoch in all churches. Great excitement prevailed over the slavery question. In one instance a Negro who had been invited to speak in the church had his audience driven out by an opposition faction. The pastors and those in authority were in hot water whichever side they took. About twenty-one members left our church [note: Penn Yan, NY] and formed the Wesleyan, holding their meetings in Hoyt's tavern which stood where the Oliver residence, corner Chapel and Main, now is. (This same year a group led by Ovid Minor withdrew from the Presbyterian church forming the Congregationalist church. This is of interest to us in that when their society disbanded their meeting house was purchased by the Methodists and became our second church home.) Some returned after the slavery excitement subsided; others never did. .... Dr. Hibbard's two lovely children died towards the close of his pastorate here. |
