Legend has it that the first church was to be built at Snow Hill and trees were felled, logs hewn and trimmed, and assembly commenced. The local native Americans, unhappy with the whole affair, snuck in one night, disassembled the half-built church, and tossed the logs into the river.

The settlers were aghast and, as cut and trimmed logs were very valuable, gave chase to them and finally caught up to the timbers at Rehoboth Landing. It was an impossible chore to haul the logs back to Snow Hill, so it was decided to reassemble the structure at Rehoboth and that's why the first Presbyterian church is there and not Snow Hill.

I can't vouch for the veracity of this tale but can state that Colonel William Stevens, of Stevens Landing fame, was very instrumental in bringing Francis Makemie to the New World.

It is well established that colonel William Stevens died without issue (he was childless) so all you people who claim to be descended from him can go back to sleep now.

"The Eastern Shore is full of culture and heritage. Come listen to author Dan Parks as he shares insight into the local culture from his personal historical investigation from his own family history. Mr. Parks has written a book titled “Chesapeake Winds and Tides: Journeys among Eastern Shore island, rivers and communities.”

A retired educator, Don Parks is a native Eastern Shoreman who has lived along the banks of the Chesapeake for most of his life. His father was a waterman and Parks spent a great deal of time during his formative years learning the many moods of the Chesapeake. Never without a boat of som e description, Parks enjoys roaming around the Bay and its tributaries in his current boat, Yankee Rover. He currently resides in St. Michaels."
