Rev. Horatio Gates Jones, D.D., was the founder and first pastor of the Lower Merion Baptist Church. He studied divinity with his father, and was licensed to preach Sept. 26, 1801, but had preached about one year prior to that date. Having received a call to the Baptist Church at Salem, N.J., he was ordained Feb. 13, 1802, and remained until April, 1805, when he resigned, the climate not agreeing with his health. He then removed to Roxborough, Philadelphia Co., and began his labors as a preacher in Lower Merion and other places.
In 1829 he was chosen President of the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Baptist Association, and so continued until the day of his death, Dec. 12, 1853.
He filled various offices of trust and honor in Roxborough, and was an active promoter of ministerial education and one of the prime movers in Haddington College, which was finally established at Germantown.
In 1812 he received the degree of A.M. from Brown University, and in 1851 the University of Lewisburgh, Pa., conferred on him their first degree of D.D. Although fond of literature he wrote but little for the press. His most extensive work was "A History of the Philadelphia Baptist Association," which appeared in The World, a religious newspaper published in Philadelphia. (The Cambrian, Vol.XIII, No. 4, April, 1893, p. 97-8.)
