"James, the second child, was person of serious mind, great memory, and well-balanced mentally. He was born near Perth in 1732 , and at a suitable age was sent to the University. He became dissatisfied with the Established Church, and decided to join the Antiburgher branch of the Secession Church. His parents protested the step against the step, regarding it as fatel to his prospects of temporal preferment. James, after mature deliberation, carried out his purpose, completed his literary course, and studied theology under the direction of the Rev. Alexander Moncrieff, professor of divinity in that denomination, for whom he subsequently named a son. He was licensed by the Presbytery of Perth and Dumferline in 1753 to preach the gospel."

"Frequent appplications were made at that time by members of the Associate, or Secession Church, who lived in the British colonies in America for preaching. Accordingly the Rev. Alexander Gellatly and the Rev. Andrew Arnot were sent as early as 1753 (possibly not till 1754), the former as a permanent minister with a view to settlement, the latter as a missionary for a year. They came to Lancaster County, Pa., and organized the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania, subordinate to the Associate (Antiburgher) Synod of Scotland."

"November 2, 1753, James Proudfit was deemed eminently fitted to occupy this new field of labor, and accordingly, in July, 1754, he was ordained to the ministry, with a destination for North America. The ordination sermon was preached by the Rev. Geo. Brown from Gal. 1:15, 16."

The young missionary was acccompanied by his older brother, Andrew. They landed in Boston in September, 1754, and proceeded at once to southern Pennsylvania which was the field where the work of the Rev. James Proudfoot lay. Families from Perthshire had already built up homes in York County, so that it was natural that Andrew should settle there.

Pg 26 "The Rev James Proudfoot after itinerating several years, planting churches and nuturing them, accepted a call from the Associate church in Pequea, Lancaster County, Pa.
During the time he was pastor of Pequea he, like many other of the old time ministers, combined farming with preaching. He owned a fine farm of 193 acres in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County. ........
When the Associate Presbyterian and the Reformed Presbyterian Churches united, June 13, 1782, forming the Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church, he cast his lot with that denomination. In 1783 he accepted a call from the A.R.P. Church of Salem, N.Y., where he labored till old age overtook him. In 1799 he had a paralytic stroke which terminated his labors. ........"

"in 1907 I met in York County two descendants of David Proudfoot: John McAlister Gemmill, and W. N. McAlister, veteran of the Civil War, and at that time postmaster at Laurel, Pa.

Other great-grandsons of David Proudfoot who served in th Civil War were Joseph Proudfit, Smith Proudfit, and Henry Clay Proudfit, all from York Co., David Proudfit McAlister (died in hospital), and John McCalmont of Bulger, Washington Co., Pa.

John McAlister Gemmill, son of William and Agnes Proudfit (McAlister) Gemmill, lives on the old Gemmill farm which has been held in that name for more than one and a half centuries, and which lies not far from Proudfoot's Point, the home of Andrew Proudfoot. He has eight children:
1. Annie (Mrs Ettlich) 5. Florence
2. William H. 6. Roscoe
3. Albert V. 7. Chauncey
4.John M., Jr. 8. Norman

James Proudfit of Pottstown, Pa is of this line of Proudfits. (David Proudfoot)

" John Proudfit emigrated to this county from York County, near Stewartstown, and settled in Smith township in 1806; married Elizabeth Lyle in 1809; remained in the township till 1815, when he returned to York County. In 1826 he again returned to the township, and settled adjoining the John Dinsmore farm. John L. Proudfit, of Burgettstown, is his son. "

" No. 2 school-house was built in 1836 by George Miller, on land of John Proudfit, now owned by his son, Robert F. Proudfit. It was generally known as Hays school-house. The house previously used was the Kerr school-house. James Fulton was the first teacher. About the year 1852 the house was moved to a location on the Burgettstown and Eldersville road, on a farm of Robert Campbell, now owned by his son, Arthur Campbell."
