Is this the same congregation or building?

IDENTITY Likely Gold's chapter IX describes a Methodist congregation at Berryville; the 1921 list's "Berryville M. E. Church" is tied to it as Likely only, since "M. E." or "M. E. South" is open.

What the records say

Each line is a statement from a cited source, in the source's own terms, with the three questions asked of it. Same congregation or building as the one on this page? Same body or building under another name or at another site?

Date not established	The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 29 (1921), printed p. 74, in the Virginia War History Commission's Supplement No. 1 list for Clarke County, prints in the commission's third section (churches in war time) the item "Berryville M. E. Church; Report; 3 pp.; by W. H. Ballinger."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY LikelyThe list's "Berryville M. E.

E. Church; Report; 3 pp.; by W. H. Ballinger." What the source supports That a list printed in 1921 reports an item of this title, a three-page report by W. H. Ballinger, for Clarke County. Uncertainty The Virginia Magazine list is a finding aid: it prints a title, the kind of item, sometimes a page count and an author, and nothing of what the item says or where it is kept. No claim here says what the questionnaire or report says. "M. E." is Methodist Episcopal, and Gold shows the 1865 division of the Baltimore Conference into North and South, so the list's "M. E." may be either; the page prints no "South," and no Northern congregation at Berryville is shown in the held text. The author is printed Ballinger; Courier text that is not held as an image names a Rev. W. H. Ballengee, so the spelling is open. Each cited passage was read twice, the second time independently: first as a rendered page image of a digital reproduction (a 300 dpi render of the stated PDF page), then on a cropped image of the same page.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history opens chapter IX, "THE METHODIST DENOMINATION," on printed p. 72 by saying the denomination "in the County of Clarke owes its foundation to Rev. Mr. Gaver," that "For some years the early Methodists preached in the old Academy. The writer has been unable to discover when their first building was erected, probably between 1840 and 1850," and that "During the years prior to the war, the church in Berryville was quite strong and had many fine preachers to fill its pulpits."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY Confirmed"The church in Berryville" is the Methodist congregation at Berryville: Confirmed for the statement that a Methodist congregation at Berryville existed before the war.

The writer has been unable to discover when their first building was erected, probably between 1840 and 1850," and that "During the years prior to the war, the church in Berryville was quite strong and had many fine preachers to fill its pulpits." What the source supports That Gold's text describes early Methodist preaching in Clarke, then the old Academy, a first building at Berryville not dated ("probably between 1840 and 1850"), and a strong church in Berryville before the war. Uncertainty Gold's 1914 history is a retrospective county history; for this chapter the church histories were written by local contributors, and no vestry book, deed or register was read here. The first-building date is Gold's guess, not a record. The page never prints "M. E.," "Episcopal" or "South." The heading is printed with a period after "CHAPTER IX" and none after "THE METHODIST DENOMINATION"; the opening "THE" is a drop capital.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 73, says "Some years ago the congregation at Berryville built a new and handsome church at which they have preaching every Sunday," and, of the war, "The Baltimore Conference, to which this charge belonged, was divided by the war into North and South. At the close of the War the church here had as its pastor the Rev. Wm. Hedges, a godly man and able minister."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY Likely"The church at Berryville" and "this charge" of the Baltimore Conference are the Berryville Methodist congregation: Confirmed for the page's subject; tied to the Southern side only by the end of the story, so Likely. CONTINUITY: The first building of 1840 to 1850 (p. 72) and the "new and handsome church" of some years before 1914 are two buildings of one congregation: Likely (no date for the second, no site for either).

At the close of the War the church here had as its pastor the Rev. Wm. Hedges, a godly man and able minister." What the source supports That Gold's text says the Berryville congregation built a new church some years before 1914 and that the Baltimore Conference, to which the charge belonged, was divided by the war, with the Rev. Wm. Hedges as pastor at its close. Uncertainty Gold's 1914 history is a retrospective county history; for this chapter the church histories were written by local contributors, and no vestry book, deed or register was read here. The new church is undated and no site is given for either building. The first words of the page ("nation") complete "denomi-" from p. 72, and the last sentence of the crop ("One Sunday night the conflict came on in the Berryville") continues on p. 74 (see C1420). "South" occurs on the page only in the narrative, never as a church name.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history, on printed p. 74, completes its account of the Hedges and Lanahan dispute: "Church. Mr. Hedges and Mr. Lanahan were both in the pulpit, both ready to preach," and ends the Methodist account with "The matter was later worked out in the Courts and our people kept their church."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY Likely"Our people" are Rev. Hedges's congregation, the Southern side; Likely that the 1921 list's "M. E." is the one that stayed with the Southern Conference, Unconfirmed until a page image names the church as "M. E. Church, South." CONTINUITY: The Berryville church building stayed with Hedges's congregation after the dispute of the 1860s: Likely.

What the source supports That Gold's text says the Hedges and Lanahan contest at the Berryville church was later worked out in the courts and "our people kept their church." Uncertainty Gold's 1914 history is a retrospective county history; for this chapter the church histories were written by local contributors, and no vestry book, deed or register was read here. The court outcome is Gold's statement only; no court record is cited or held here. The crop begins with the tail of a sentence from p. 73 ("Church."). "Our people" are the Rev. Hedges's congregation, the Southern side; the page does not name the church as "M. E. Church, South," and that is why the tie to the 1921 list's "M. E." stays Likely.
