Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Hat Creek Church, Campbell County, Virginia
The next Presbyterian minister who preached as stated supply at Hat Creek was one William Mahon, and others, Cary Allen, William Irvin (son of the forementioned J. Irvin) and James Mitchell. All of whom bore an active part in keeping Hat Creek lighted up with the sound of the Gospel. And the probability is that Mr. Mahon was the first of these four ministers there. And it is said he served out two terms preaching there. But presently he left here and moved to Kentucky. Cary Allen preached at Hat Creek but for a short while. It has been said his greatest sermon there was from these three words, Mene Tekel Upharsin. When he ceased preaching at Hat Creek he left these parts for a new place of abode, and died soon afterwards. William Irvin likewise preached at Hat Creek only for a short while, and then moved to Albemarle, and settled himself there, and preached for the most part at a place called Cove meeting house.
