Abigail Mottice Creighton

Waynesburg Presbyterian Church records

Peter Mottice was a founding elder of the Presbyterian Church in Waynesburg, Oh. The congregation was formed in 1821, and many of the old church records, or session records, still exist. Some of these make reference to Peter and his family, along with his descendants who were church members. The very first page is the record of the organization of the congregation and lists the founding members. Here is a transcript of that page:		See the entire post and photos . . .

Abigail Mottice Creighton

Abigail Mottice Creighton was the second daughter of Peter and Pheby Mottice to be married. According to an 1821 edition of the Ohio Repository, she married John Creighton on June 28 of that year. Her husband, John Creighton, appears to be the same individual who married Abigail's sister Margaret in 1816. This could be explained by Margaret's untimely death, perhaps by childbirth.
