The Marietta Intelligencer, August 29, 1839
We understand that those members of the First Congregational Church in this place who reside west of the Muskingum, propose to withdraw from this body, and form themselves into a separate church. This arrangement is entered into, not because of any difficulty - for we believe the most amicable feeling exists in the church - but from an earnest desire to sustain the regular preaching of the gospel in their own town and by a minister of their own denomination. Probably in the course of the next year, they will erect a convenient house of worship, and such an one we doubt not as will be an ornament to their thriving town.
