James McChord
- ... that James McChord founded what is now the Second Presbyterian Church in Lexington, Kentucky, after nearly leaving town due to a violation of the rules of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church? Source: "Preaching in a home in this way was against the by-laws of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church of which McChord was a member. Due to the conflict that these sermons caused, McChord decided to leave Lexington, a decision that was not to be implemented because of widespread support from those who had attended the services at the Bell residence."
- ALT1: ... that James McChord was elected by the Centre College Board of Trustees to serve as the school's first president, but died three months later before he could officially assume the position?

Article is new enough and long enough. Passes earwig and is adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing was found, and cited inline, and verified. QPQ done. Interesting hook(s), leaning towards use of Alt1 hook (despite it being a tragic fact). Nom good to go. Pseud 14 (talk) 17:37, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
