In May of 1697, a group of potential settlers from Fairfield,
Connecticut purchased a tract of land in Cohansey.
On June 10, 1697, these settlers formed the First Presbyterian
Church of South Jersey. Today a granite monument
(dedicated 1909) stands on the site of their first log meeting
house. The cemetery which adjoined the meeting house
remains the oldest in the township. Around 1717, a frame
meeting house with shingle siding replaced the log one.
By 1775, the building was declared unsafe so the congregation
purchased the ground where the Old Stone Church still stands.
Although, the building was not yet complete, the first sermon
was heard on September 7, 1788 when Reverend Ethan
Osborn assumed the pastorship. He remained until 1844.
In 1850, He returned to the Old Stone Church to give the last
sermon before the congregation moved to their new
church in Fairton.
