How this project uses the manuscript
The manuscript is difficult to read in places. The project therefore uses it selectively for institutional and site-history context rather than presenting a definitive transcription. It preserves discussion of Matthew Green Wallace, the 1817-1818 shared worship building, later property changes, the Monfort era, and a tradition of rebuilding in 1854.
Evidence boundary: This is a 1946 retrospective history. Earlier session minutes, newspapers, deeds, and the 1876 published church history carry greater weight when the sources conflict.
