Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Hopewell Presbyterian Church for 175 Years From the Assigned Date of Its Organization, 1762 The people have fully cooperated and have during these years contributed from tradition, memory, and first hand knowledge, most of the data recorded. A week spent in Dr. Tenney's collee tion at Montreat, With the obliging assistance of Dr. And Mrs. Tenney and Miss Helen Cunningham, made available a wealth of material. Search in the Congressional Library, the help of Dr. R. B. Woodworth on a Visit to Union Seminary's Spence Library, correspondence, and Visits to localities, cemeteries and homes gave many details and corrections. For all such assistance thanks are given. It is hardly possible to mention the name of every person who has helped the author, and not safe to list them lest even one should be left out. Most of them are mentioned throughout the volume as suits the connection. No such name has been knowingly omitted and indebtedness to all is here acknowledged. In the matter of proper names no responsibility is assumed by the author. Although great care has been used in the desire for accuracy, there has been large opportunity for errors, particularly as to dates, in spite of exacting and tedious supervision. The records themselves vary - family Bibles, legal papers, church minutes, and old books; inscriptions and epitaphs have been taken down by voluntary - not trained - copyists, often one writ ing as another read the none-too-clear legend.
