"New-York Chronicle"?
Does anyone know anything about the "New-York Chronicle" newspaper that Church and his family were supposed to have worked for? I can't find any trace of a newspaper of that name, location and time period on the Web. PRRfan (talk) 17:15, 20 December 2021 (UTC)


 * this suggests that the chronicle did exist. this suggests that it merged with the New York Examiner by 1863. this suggests it was a "weekly Baptist" paper that published a lengthy paper by Henry B. Dawson. Their father is cited as editor from 1855 to (presumably) 1860 here, search snippets establish that it was "essentially the organ of the Bible Union, which was formed in 1850" and cites a few articles.

 * Here we go: "founded in 1840 as a monthly by the American Bible Union; O. B. Judd made it a weekly in 1849. It came under the control in 1854 of J. S. Backus and Pharcellus Church. When Backus withdrew in 1863, Church united with it the Christian Chronicle (1846-63), of Philadelphia, only to sell the combination to the Examiner in 1865.
