"The April 8, 1881 Democratic Messenger (Snow Hill, MD) published
a letter by the pastor of the Makemie Memorial Presbyterian Church telling
about the erection of the new church building in 1751 to replace the original
church in use since 1684. Among those who both contributed to the building
fund and also helped pay the pastors salary in 1751 were James Richardson,
Robert Richardson, and Charles Richardson - all sons of Charles Richardson
who died in 1727. Also the earliest Sessions Book of the church shows that
John Richardson was "set apart" on 17 Nov 1751 as an Elder of the Makemie
Memorial Church. So it seems that Charles Richardson, Sr. and probably the
first Robert were Presbyterians. Too bad there are not any earlier church
records."
