History of Buffalo Presbyterian Church Session Minutes

December 9th 1773

The Session met according to appointment. Allen McKnight and John Anderson. William
Reasons for his absence last session, sustained.

Catherine Moreland complains that Jane Christie represented her as being too
familiar at the last court, and also that she was guilty of theft.

Elizabeth Moreland being Duly Sworn; that she heard Jane Christie say that a strange
man came to Robert Warrick and asked him where Catherine Moreland was and sd. Warwick 
said, that he did not know. But looking about after some time said, he saw Catherine 
Moreland and a young man laying by the fence in an unbecoming manner & sd. Warrick told 
Jean to watch her Eye. – Elizabeth Moreland. Asked if Jane Christie did not say that? 
Said, Warrick told her what is related above, saith more she doth not remember.

Eve Warrick being Duly Sworn. Sayth, that she heard Jane Christy say that John, her
husband, said that Catherine Moreland went about {missing}, John Christy {missing}
Ginger Bread, and further saith that her Husband - –ohed that he would not take care
of her bread another night.  Eve Warrick being asked what she understood by Catherine 
Moreland’s Idleness, saith that she understood that sd. Moreland was familiar with a man 
or men besides her Husband.

Rebecca Hindmon being Duly Sworn; saith that she heard Eve Warrick say that Captain
Phillip Yancey came to William Hindmon & asked for Catherine Moreland, said he would 
have his will of her, in as Vulgar manner as she could express it. Rebecca Hindmon being 
asked if she heard any such thing, saith that she did not. Said Hindmon that she heard sd. 
Eve Warrick say --- {missing} Blamed Catherine Moreland for the differences that happened 
between her and Jane Christy. And that sd. Moreland should not represent person’s as 
thieves, but should remember the Ginger-Bread, or Ginger Bread Dough.

Catherine Moreland and Jane Christie agree that the matter should now be a non issue.

The Session, after Mature Deliberation, judge that Catherine Moreland is not charged
with Idleness in that Gross Sense, in which  it was sometimes understood, or of the theft. 
Nor can we say that Jane Christy is chargeable with Lying.  But would recommend it to her, 
not to use equivocal disparaging remarks such as Idleness & etc.  that are capable of being 
understood in a sense very prejudicial to others.  Also would recommend it to each of the 
parties to be Chaste, keep to  your home, and to be very careful for the future both in 
your conduct and language, that peace and love hereafter prevail.
