Herron, Francis, 1774-1860

 
The “byline” for “Duty and Reasons of Christian Diligence,” a sermon published in The Presbyterian Preacher, reads simply “By Francis Herron, D. D., of Pittsburgh.” A December 7, 2017 post on This Day in Presbyterian History identifies the author as “Rev. Francis Herron [1774-1860],” and additional information is provided by Barry Waugh in Presbyterians of the Past. According to Waugh, Herron earned a degree from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania; pastored the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh from 1811 to 1850; and played a major role in founding the Western Theological Seminary (now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary) in Allegheny City (now Pittsburgh).

    The User Guide for the Library of Appalachian Preaching is a Google Sheet that can be searched, sorted, and downloaded for offline use.

    At the moment, Herron has only one sermon in the Library; it has a Guide of its own so the records will be complete. It includes the title, sermon text, date and place the sermon was preached, and so on. This information is available in the master list of sermons as well.
