Caldwell, , March 2019 442 Rehoboth Rd, Belle Vernon, PA 15012, Lat: 40° 8'13.19"N, Long: 79°49'14.53"W Fayette County In 1778 during one of Reverend James Finley's trips into the area, he organized the Rehoboth valley settlers into a congregation in the morning, and Round Hill settlers in the afternoon. These two churches were served by the same ministers until 1841. It was nearing the close of Reverend Robert Johnston's ministry that Round Hill chose to have their own minister. Due to the reluctance of the Presbytery to dismiss him, Reverend James Finley did not begin his pastorate at Rehoboth until 1784. Rehoboth Church was known by many names; Horshoe Bottom, Crab Orchard, Bullock Pen, Wheatfield, Stone Coal Forks, Upper Meeting house in the Forks, Meeting House in the Forks of the Road, and the Brick Church. It must have been known as Rehoboth in the early days, since the name Rehoboth was mentioned in Reverend Finley's will. A note in the tombstone readings says, “Just a few of the old stones taken by Mrs. Lockhart, Miss Harbison and Elizabeth Weaver, September 12, 1934.” The data can be found in the genealogy section of the Citizen’s Library in Washington, PA.
