General Notes: Husband - George Shoemaker

---

He was a minister of the Gospel and founder of the church of Brethren in Christ, which was formed by a body who seceded from the Dunkards. This church was organized at Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, about 1834, and for a number of years, chiefly through the labors of Rev. Shoemaker, flourished very fairly, but after his death in 1867 a portion of its adherents merged themselves with the Free-Will Baptists.
