Jericho's Pastors

Many of the earlier Ministry are listed in the Records of White River Monthly Meeting of Friends and are known to have a substantial Ministry Record in the Jericho Particular Meeting.  Some dates are approximate and some are unknown dates of service.  The earliest, such as Benjamin Cox, traveled between many meetings, and was probably at Jericho once a month, and during the rest of the month, members held a silent meeting, where someone in the meeting might of given testimony or a message that was laid upon them by God.  Not all below served in a regular ministry at Jericho, but might of either involved in a traveling ministry, or was shared with other meetings and congregations, or may of been involved in revivals at the meeting house.  We do have some pictures, that have been shared with us for this web-site.  Minister, Pastor and Reverand are not used in the Society of Friends as tittles.  Instead, we are all ministers of God, and some are recognized as having a gift, and some are given training and go through a process of being Recorded.  We are currently, seeking information on who was or is a Recorded Minister in the Society of Friends.  Those that we do know are marked with a +
