I found Henry Andrews in W Fallowfield on the 1840-50 Census! Maybe that is where he gave the land?

Sorry, but I haven't the foggiest - F&C don't give a location. Unless
some 'local' would just happen to know it's location, I reckon you'd have to
check land records to see where Henry Andrews owned land.....his original
deed of gift was given in 1833.
Keep in mind, though, that Methodist churches didn't have resident
ministers, but were served by the various Methodist circuits, depending on
their location....so, it would have been possible to have been married by a
circuit minister in any number of different geographic locations - the
ministers name wouldn't be an indication of a specific church, but a
specific circuit.

> Sandra, where was this in Chester Co - Andrews? Any locality? My
gr2grandparents - George W Savage and Charlotte K MOHR were married on
12/6/1848 by a Rev. G Orem (Accessible Archives) and I wonder if it was Rev.
Gasway Oram, one of the Methodist ministers, who married them? I had
found a Rev. Orem in Montgomery Co, but non-specific for a first name and he
was Lutheran, I think!
