History of Pisgah, Union Township, Butler County, Ohio. Pisgah is the highest point in Union Township, Butler County, Ohio, although to be casual observer it seems to be on a general level with the surrounding country. It is the higher than Lebanon and all points around. It was probably named by William Belch, a pioneer of the place, and so called from the old church that stood on this land. The village has but eleven residents, a grocery store, post office, and a blacksmith’s shop. William Belch came here as early as 1812 or 1815. He was a Pennsylvania German, and very energetic. He kept the first hotel of the place many years before he died, after which his son, William Belch kept it fifteen or twenty years longer. William Belch and James Van Hise started a hotel about 1838, and also a store and post office in Pisgah. IT was subsequently kept by David Conover and James Middleton, and now by S.M. Sprinkle. The two Van Hise also kept the first store. They carried on the business a number of years, and were the last to keep the hotel. A still house was erected in an early day by James Irwin on the farm now owned by James Irwin, his grandson. Mr. James Irwin came to Ohio before 1800, and settled first in Warren County, Ohio and after a few years came to Pisgah and settled on 360 acres of choice lands. He started the first tan-yard. He was the grandfather of Governor William Irwin of California, about 1850, and for several years edited the leading paper of California. He was afterwards sent to the State Legislature, and later elected Governor of California. He has since that time been conspicuous in the management of California state affairs, and is known as a representative citizens of the country. The people of Pisgah, in an early time, attended Church at Muddy Creek. This was a Baptist society just outside the Butler County, Ohio. Subsequently the Presbyterians erected a church building on the Belch property. This house stood on the old Quakertown Road, near the Pisgah village, and on the same lot upon which the school house stood. the two buildings were within the fencing. The school house was made of round logs and the church of hewed logs. After a few years the Church people built a brick house, and the school was moved into the old church building. This was on James Irwin’s place, and in 1835 or 1836 the district built the new brick school house, on the identical spot on which stood the old log-house, and it remains, in a repaired condition, still stand, but the house is owned as private property. The district purchased land in 1862, when and where the present structure was erected. The church served its purpose for a long period of time, but for many years it has gone into disuse, save for an occasional service. The property was finally sold, and the organization has lot its identity.

The Alta Heiser Collection Index Vol. 3, January 1, 1944 & December 18, 1947. Intelligent and beautiful. In the writings of the Reverend Philip Fithian, he tells a most interesting story of Peggy Piper, ten year old child of Captain William Piper, whose cabin was on Warrior run, where he and others were building a church. When the Reverend Mr. Fithian came to preach to them, the captain proudly told him: “There is not one in the society but my little wain can tell you what is “effectual calling”. The minister found the child to be remarkably intelligent as well as beautiful. As the church was not finished, the preaching was from an open wagon, the people sitting on the ground among the bushes on the facing hillside. Shortly after this, Indians burned the church and homes around about, but the Pipers escaped. When the captain’s “little wain” was seventeen, she married William, son of William and Mary Smith. He laid out Mercersburg on the land he had inherited, naming it for General Mercer, a friend of the family who had been very kind to him. Peggy Smith had one child before William Smith died. She then married James Irwin, who was the great uncle of President William Henry Harrison. Peggy Irwin’s namesake granddaughter, Margaret McClellan, told that the “little wain” was a bright and handsome woman who attained the fruition of her “effectual calling” at the age of 88. The church at Mercersburg was organized by steadfast Scotch-Irish in 1738. After Braddock’s defeat, John McCullough and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Baird, as well as James Smith, all members of this church were taken captives by the Indians, who broke up the church and trading post. The people returned to their desolated homes, and reorganized their church, among whose members besides Smiths, McClellans and Irwins were Maxwells, Campbells, Flemings and Templetons. Peggy Piper Smith Irwin, of whom so much has been written, was a first cousin of our James Smith and an aunt of James Findlay, who was Mr. William Smith’s business partner in early Cincinnati, Ohio. His brother, William Findlay, was state treasurer and governor of Pennsylvania as well as United States senator. James Findlay made a name for himself in the State of Ohio. In 1797 he married Jane Irwin, a sister of his brother William’s wife.

When one member of the family wrote to another, in speaking of the health of the family it was stated that “Your friends are all well at present.” Quite often, the report was not so good. The point we wish to bring out is that from among the first families who located near Fort Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio the Christys, Hendersons, McClearys and McClures were relatives of Colonel James Smith. Some one from each family had married a daughter or granddaughter of the colonel. Collateral relatives, or at least relatives of the in-laws, were the Halls, Falconers, Dunns, Beatys, McFarlands, McClellans, Irwins, and Tolberts. These are but a few of the names for which he have proof that there were relationship. Many could be named, and some have been mentioned in previous sketches, who were neighbors or friends in Pennsylvania.

In 1799, William Irwin on a trip to Pennsylvania carried the word that Robert McClellan had “entirely broke himself by Bail”. Whatever were his difficulties, he did not stay “broke”. A much blurred letter was written in Louisville on the April 20, 1802, in which Robert McClellan told William McClellan that he reached that place by water in company with Lt. Pike, and was led up with a fever, that made him almost deaf. He hoped he would be able in a few days to ride to Lexington, Kentucky where the $200 William McClellan had mentioned would be paid “on sight”. He said to let a certain party have a certain piece of land “providing he gives up the bond not other way’.

We think that James Irwin came from Mifflintown, Pennsylvania and may have got to this church.

Westminster/ Mifflintown Presbyterian Church, Mifflintown, PA

According to our records, the Mifflintown and Lost Creek congregations in the Presbytery of Huntingdon were originally one church known as the Cedar Spring (sometimes Springs) Presbyterian Church in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. This church dates back to 1759. In 1800, the congregation expanded into two buildings about 8 miles apart to house its growing congregation.
The Lost Creek Presbyterian Church was organized in the town of McAlisterville, PA, while the Mifflintown Presbyterian Church remained in Mifflintown. The congregation was run as one church, sharing a minister and was listed in the General Assembly Minutes of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America as the Mifflintown and Lost Creek Presbyterian Church. In 1875, the congregations split. While the Lost Creek Church still goes by that name, the
Mifflintown Presbyterian Church changed names to Westminster Presbyterian Church.
