"A transcription of commentary on the separation of the Stauffer (Pike) Mennonites from Lancaster Conference...Jacob W. Stauffer wrote a Chronicle to explain and defend his position after he and his supporters separated from the Lancaster Mennonite Conference. The book was not published until after his death...Abraham S. Martin was ordained a minister in the Groffdale Mennonite church after Jacob W. Stauffer withdrew to form a new group, called the Stauffer (Pike) Mennonites. In his copy of Jacob W.

Account of Arnold's campaign against Quebec : and of the hardships and sufferings of that band of heroes who traversed the wilderness of Maine from Cambridge to the St. Lawrence, in the autumn of 1775
"Pulled from local news headlines, court records, trial transcripts, and land records, this story weaves together the history of the Accomac river crossing, the town of Marietta, and the untimely death of an innocent young girl. Against a rich historical backdrop, the murder and ensuing legal proceedings provide a compelling account of life Across the river."--P. [4] of cover.
