History of St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church
St. Gabriel's Church, Douglassville (first known as Morlatton), Pennsylvania, is the oldest church in Berks County and was incorporated in the year 1720. Services were first held here in 1708 by the Reverend Andrew Sandel. For some years there was no other English service held within a circuit of eight miles except the meetings of Friends in Exeter and Pottstown, and as a result, English-speaking people from all neighboring places and the surrounding country attended church services at Morlatton. Worshippers and attendants then came from the townships of Amity, Exeter, Robeson, and Union. The first Swedish church was built in 1735 of logs hewn from the neighboring woods, and continued in use until 1801 when a new stone edifice was erected. The log church continued to serve as a school until the winter of 1831-1832 when it was destroyed by fire. The 1801 stone building served as a church until 1884, when the current church building was completed.
From the book Hopewell Village: The Dynamics of a Nineteenth Century Iron-Making Community (Walker)
p. 366
St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church at Douglassville [Pennsylvania] was the earliest regular center for the worship of Furnace people.... Many other Hopewell families were among the communicants and officers of St. Gabriel's Church in the nineteenth century. Prominent among them were Umstead, Kirlin, Jones, Sands, Trago, Millard, Yocom, Bannan, McKinty Donehower, Bunn, Wamsher, Dehaven, Chestnutwood, Pierce and Evans.
St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church is still active today. Although the remaining tombstones do not include Millard names, Millard's were active in and married in this church. The footnote to the Walker excerpt says that the historical information is from the St. Gabriel's Church Records, pp. 65, 70 which are at the Berks County Historical Society Society. The Society web page is at: http://www.berksweb.com/histsoc/
Samuel Millard married Eleanor Kirst in St. Gabriel's Church in 1812. Samuel Millard was born in 1796, and was the son of Benjamin Millard (1772-1816) and the grandson of Mordecai Millard (1736-1794) and Francis Cookson.
