The Newburgh and Warrensville Settlements

Description
-
Beyond Cleveland itself, Manx emigrants settled in the surrounding townships of Newburgh and Warrensville, and in small settlements along the lake. These communities replicated the parish structures they had left behind — organised around worship, centred on families who knew each other, using the Manx language freely among themselves. Pastor Cannell held services in Manx in his own log house. The communities they built in Ohio were organised around the same chapel networks that had spread Methodism across the island.
