Many early German settlers in Lovettsville originated in the Palatinate region of Germany and brought the Reformed Church, a Calvinist sect of Protestantism, with them.  By 1748 a growing community was established in upper Loudoun County under the leadership of a Reformed Church elder, William Wenner (fl. 1720 -1750). Prior to the construction of a church building, the congregation worshipped in members' homes.  A log structure was built where Wenner led prayer services and performed marriages, baptisms, and funerals. The building also served as a school, with Wenner acting as schoolmaster.  In 1766 a Reformed Church Minister, Reverend Charles Lange (fl. 1750-1768) from Frederick, MD took over pastoral care of the congregation.","A second log church was built to replace the original structure around 1775, and this in turn was replaced by a brick church building around 1819.  This building was demolished in 1901, and its bricks were used by the congregation for constructing a new church building within the town of Lovettsville which was re-named St. James. Up until that time, the three previous churches were known simply as the \"German Reformed Church\".  Mergers in the 20th century resulted with St. James becoming part of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, the United Church of Christ, and finally,  St. James United Church of Christ.  Saint James Reformed Cemetery remains at the site of the three earlier church buildings.

Constance Williams deBordenave is the granddaughter of Harrison Williams and Pauline Marechal Winslow Williams, and the great-granddaughter of Griffin Stedman Williams, Mary Pearce Harrison, and William Grandy Winslow, and the great-great-granddaughter of William Williams and Lovisa Kirkland Stedman Williams.\n","William Williams (6 September 1815-10 September 1876) was born in Bolton, Connecticut to Samuel (8 February 1785-5 July1876) and Sarah White Williams (1787-22 August 1849).  He married Lovisa Kirkland Stedman (11 September 1815-27 September 1895) on 9 October 1838.  Lovisa Kirkland Stedman was the daughter of Griffin (27 September 1770-?) and Elizabeth Gordon (?-1822) Stedman.  The Williams had three children: Catherine Stedman (4 August 1839-17 January 1841), Griffin Stedman (11 September 1841-7 March 1911), and Charles Gordon (23 December 1847-6 September 1897).","After marrying Williams took a cashier job at Bank of Sandusky in Sandusky, Ohio.  Deciding Sandusky did not offer the opportunities he desired, he and his wife settled in Buffalo in 1839.  He and his uncle George C. White (28 November 1804-30 May 1869) opened a bank branch in Buffalo called White and Williams.  The bank prospered, and reorganized in 1844 as White's Bank of Buffalo.  Williams continued to clerk there for 12 years.  In 1856 Williams and some friends founded Clinton Bank of Buffalo.  It survived the panic of 1857, but closed four years later as the financial markets faced continued uncertainty.  ","Williams, by then a prominent financier, served as one of the original directors and later as president of a company formed to construct a railroad from Buffalo to Erie.  He Williams helped orchestrate its consolidation with other railroads to form Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad Company in 1869.  He was elected first vice president of the new corporation.  He served as a director of Michigan Southern Railroad Company and in 1873 was elected a director of Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia Railroad Co.  In addition to his involvement with the railroads, Williams financed a number of other industrial concerns such as mining and canals.","Williams also played a role in Buffalo's social and cultural affairs.  He was one of the incorporators of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy in 1862.  He also helped establish the Buffalo Club, an exclusive men's club, which organized in 1867.","Williams started his political career in 1841, when he was elected City Treasurer of Buffalo.  In 1845 he was elected to the city's Common Council.  In 1866 Williams was elected to the New York Assembly on the Democratic ticket; he was re-elected the following year.  In 1870 Williams accepted the 30th New York District Democratic nomination for the Forty-second Congress on the condition that Grover Cleveland (1837-1908), a young lawyer in his personal attorney's office, would be nominated for sheriff of Erie County.  Williams helped finance both campaigns, and both men were elected.  He served from 1871-1873, but was unsuccessful in his attempt to be re-elected to the Forty-third Congress in 1872. ","Williams withdrew from politics and business as his health deteriorated in 1874.  He suffered severe financial losses during the panic of 1873, which his family believed hastened his decline.  He died at home 10 September 1876.  Lovisa returned to Connecticut where she lived with their son, Charles.  She died in Windsor, Connecticut 27 September 1895.  ","Griffin Stedman Williams, attended schools in Buffalo and Ohio, and completed his education at Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Reed's (ca. 1810-?) Walnut Hill School in Geneva, New York in 1859.  In 1859 he took a clerkship in Clinton Bank of Buffalo, and later went to work for James C. Harrison.  His early business career was disrupted with the outbreak of the Civil War.  He served as a first lieutenant in the 132nd New York Volunteers.   Williams contracted a severe case of camp fever while in the field that disabled him, and he received an honorable discharge 10 February 1864.  Williams returned to Buffalo to recuperate in his parents' home.  His father arranged for a year of travel and Williams set sail in May 1864 for the British Isles, Europe, and Middle East.  He spent another year travelling in 1869, sailing from San Francisco for Japan and Europe.  ","He married Mary Pearce Harrison (12 November 1849-April 25, 1909) on 20 December 1871 in Buffalo.  Mary Pearce Harrison was born in Erie, Pennsylvania to James Cooke Harrison and Mary Wilson Pearce on 12 November 1849.   She attended private schools in Buffalo and a select girls' school in New York City, Mrs. Ogden Hoffman's French and English Boarding and Day School, from 1864-1868.  The Williams had three children: Harrison (28 February 1873-9 June 1946), Mary Stedman (5 February 1875- ?), and Gordon (1 September 1876-4 October 1925).  ","On 9 September 1885 Griffin Stedman Williams was appointed Consul of the United States at Nottingham, England by President Grover Cleveland.  He held the consulate post until 1890.  He died 8 March 1911 after a long illness.","Harrison Williams (28 February 1873-9 June 1946) attended University School in Nottingham, and from 1890-1891 he attended Chateau de Lancy School near Geneva, Switzerland.   He attended law school at University of Buffalo, graduating in 1893, and was admitted to the bar the following year.  Williams practiced law until 1897, when he accepted a job as tax agent for the Erie Railroad Company in New York City.  In 1902 he became head of the tax department, and in 1907 was named head of the General Land and Tax Department of the Erie Railroad System, specializing in tax law. ","On 8 May 1901, he married Jane Kirby Abbott (4 March 1875-22 May 1909) in Marshalltown, Iowa.  They had one child, Harrison Jr., born in New York City on 6 February 1904.  By 1907 Jane had become seriously ill and moved back to Marshalltown to stay with her mother.  She died in 1909.  Harrison Williams married a second time in 1910.  He and Pauline Marechal Winslow (1 July 1872-29 November 1933) wed December 29.  Pauline, daughter of William Grandy (14 April 1845-17 September 1910) and Ida Stone (14 May 1847-16 June 1896) Winslow, was born and educated in Buffalo.  ","When Williams retired from practicing law in 1913, the family moved to Williamsted, a farm Williams had purchased several years before located outside of Leesburg, Virginia.  He had built a large residence on the property which he used as a vacation home.  Williams sold the farm in 1920, and in 1923 he bought another piece of Loudoun County property on which he built a house he called Roxbury Hall, named for an ancestral home in Massachusetts.

Williams contracted a severe case of camp fever while in the field that disabled him, and he received an honorable discharge 10 February 1864.  Williams returned to Buffalo to recuperate in his parents' home.  His father arranged for a year of travel and Williams set sail in May 1864 for the British Isles, Europe, and Middle East.  He spent another year travelling in 1869, sailing from San Francisco for Japan and Europe.  ","He married Mary Pearce Harrison (12 November 1849-April 25, 1909) on 20 December 1871 in Buffalo.  Mary Pearce Harrison was born in Erie, Pennsylvania to James Cooke Harrison and Mary Wilson Pearce on 12 November 1849.   She attended private schools in Buffalo and a select girls' school in New York City, Mrs. Ogden Hoffman's French and English Boarding and Day School, from 1864-1868.  The Williams had three children: Harrison (28 February 1873-9 June 1946), Mary Stedman (5 February 1875- ?), and Gordon (1 September 1876-4 October 1925).  ","On 9 September 1885 Griffin Stedman Williams was appointed Consul of the United States at Nottingham, England by President Grover Cleveland.  He held the consulate post until 1890.  He died 8 March 1911 after a long illness.","Harrison Williams (28 February 1873-9 June 1946) attended University School in Nottingham, and from 1890-1891 he attended Chateau de Lancy School near Geneva, Switzerland.   He attended law school at University of Buffalo, graduating in 1893, and was admitted to the bar the following year.  Williams practiced law until 1897, when he accepted a job as tax agent for the Erie Railroad Company in New York City.  In 1902 he became head of the tax department, and in 1907 was named head of the General Land and Tax Department of the Erie Railroad System, specializing in tax law. ","On 8 May 1901, he married Jane Kirby Abbott (4 March 1875-22 May 1909) in Marshalltown, Iowa.  They had one child, Harrison Jr., born in New York City on 6 February 1904.  By 1907 Jane had become seriously ill and moved back to Marshalltown to stay with her mother.  She died in 1909.  Harrison Williams married a second time in 1910.  He and Pauline Marechal Winslow (1 July 1872-29 November 1933) wed December 29.  Pauline, daughter of William Grandy (14 April 1845-17 September 1910) and Ida Stone (14 May 1847-16 June 1896) Winslow, was born and educated in Buffalo.  ","When Williams retired from practicing law in 1913, the family moved to Williamsted, a farm Williams had purchased several years before located outside of Leesburg, Virginia.  He had built a large residence on the property which he used as a vacation home.  Williams sold the farm in 1920, and in 1923 he bought another piece of Loudoun County property on which he built a house he called Roxbury Hall, named for an ancestral home in Massachusetts.
