Dod (as his name is spelled on his gravestone and in Wikipedia), accepted a ministerial call in 1778 from two congregations in present-day Washington County, PA: Lindley's Fort at Lower Ten Mile near Amity, and Cook's Fort at Upper Ten Mile (Prosperity). He was the second minister to settle west of the Monongahela River and the first to establish a Presbytery west of the Allegheny Mountains.
