General Notes: Husband - Rev. William Wick

---

In his day there was a great call for ministers, and Dr. McMillan sought out, among others, Mr. Wick, who, through the Doctor's influence, finally left his farm, and began a course at the Cannonsburg Academy, where he completed his studies in 1797, before the college charter was obtained. He was one of the founders of the Franklin Literary Society.
His theological education was obtained at Dr. McMillan's log cabin, and he was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Ohio, August 28, 1799. Having accepted calls from Neshannock and Hopewell congregations, in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, he was ordained by the Presbytery of Ohio, and installed pastor of these congregations September 3, 1800. During 1801 he was released from the charge of Neshannock and installed for one-half his time as pastor of the congregation at Youngstown, Ohio. He was one of the original members of the Presbytery of Erie, also of the Presbytery of Beaver. His labors were principally confined to Youngstown and Hopewell, though he occasionally worked in the missionary field. He was the first permanent minister in the Western Reserve of Ohio.
It is recorded on his tombstone that during his ministry he preached one thousand five hundred and twenty-two sermons, and married fifty-six couples. He was the father of eight sons and three daughters.

He was a Presbyterian minister.
He studied divinity with Rev. John McMillan. He married and they removed from Amity, Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Youngstown, Ohio. They and the large family they reared are all buried at that place.
