In 1784, the REV. ADAM RANKIN, of Augusta county, Va., came to Kentucky, 
and settled in Lexington.  He immediately became the pastor of Mount 
Zion church, and subsequently, in conjunction, of that of Pisgah, about 
eight miles south-west of Lexington. In 1792, he separated from the 
Presbyterian church, on account of psalmody, carrying with him a 
majority of his congregation, and retaining possession of the church 
edifice in Lexington.  The portion adhering to the Presbyterian 
communion erected a new building; and in 1795, called the Rev. James 
Welch to the pastoral charge.
