Cochranville, Faggs Manor Presbyterian Church

The Faggs Manor Presbyterian Church was reported organized in 1739 as the (New) Londonderry Congregation of Fagg’s Manor. The congregation changed its name to Fagg’s Manor Presbyterian Church in 1793. The Presbytery of Donegal dissolved the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregation in 1987 and deposited records, 1740–1952, with us. They include:
