'']] Franklin County, [[Pennsylvania (USA)|Pennsylvania]], is located near the center of Pennsylvania's southern border. Its shape is roughly triangular with its base resting on the famous Mason and Dixon line. The Mennonites ([[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church]] and [[Reformed Mennonite Church|Reformed Mennonites]]) have never been grouped in a close colony, but are scattered among the Scottish-Irish throughout much of the area. The membership of the Reformed Mennonites is small; in 1954 the Mennonite Church group had 821 members organized into eight congregations. They were members of the [[Washington-Franklin Mennonite Conference|Washington County, Maryland, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Conference]]. The Reformed branch had one bishop, one minister, and one deacon.

According to an article on the Mennonites by John B. Kauffman in a history of Franklin County published in 1887 a few Mennonites found their way to the county as early as 1735. The largest influx occurred in 1790-1800. The first church was erected in 1810. The congregations were never large, and in 1878 one bishop and five ministers served five small congregations.
