MIDDLE RIDGE ANCESTORS
Earlier than the year 1800 burials were made, on the property of Philip Krick (also spelled Creek), on Middle Ridge.
In 1804, Presbyterian families, throughout a vast area (extending) to Millerstown: toward Baskinville; south of the
Mahanony Ridge, and toward present Ickesburg), erected a Stone Church, at that place, and on the east side of the Great Road from
Carlisle to Sunbury. On March 30, 1805, Phillip Kirck and his wife, Catharine,
conveyed the glebe-land, by Deed to Frances McCown, Esq. and David English Sr., Trustees of the Middle Ridge Presbyterian Congregation
(successor to the old Dick's Gap Congregation, at present Pine Grove). The Congregation was dissoled on April 2,
1842.
