Ministers/Preachers in the early days of our counties rarely had a home church. Most of them traveled several miles yearly ministering to the various congregations. Some of the more fortunate WERE able to spend much time in one particular church throughout their service, but most did move around a lot.
Note: Some of these men listed their occupation as "Superannattated Minister". After looking that up, "superannatated" implies retired. I will make a note of the ones that stated that.
