Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of St. Michael's Church: Germantown The site chosen for this church was on the corner of Coulter and Wayne streets, but the enterprise never got any further than the laying of the corner-stone. Various difficulties prevented its completion. At this meeting there were present Rev. Mr. Hammond, Messrs. Samuel Cox, John M. Gummey, H. A. Shackleford, George C. Lambdin, and Henry R. Gummey. After the meeting was organized, a letter was read from Miss Elizabeth C. Morris, as follows: - "Whereas, my friend and pastor, the Rev. J. Pinckney Hammond, has stated to me that it is his earnest wish to organize in the neighbourhood of High Street, a new Parish, to belong to the Communion of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and to build a church on the Free Seat principle; and whereas, it is my sincere desire to aid in carrying out so laudable an undertaking; I do hereby promise to give, in aid of the said object, a Lot, on the southeast side of the said High Street, having a front on High Street of not less than 150 feet, and a depth of about 120 feet.
