Doug,
My family was househunting today, and we came across the birthplace of Rev. John Monteith. He was born on the property now known as 610 Swift Run Road, Straban Township, near Gettysburg, PA. There is a large granite boulder with a bronze plaque attached indicating his birth date, the fact that he became the first president of Michigan State University, and other biographical information including that he settled in Elyria, MI after his retirement.
