Bishop Valentine ("Velte") Clemmer emigrated from Europe to the Swamp area in 1717. The first meetinghouse was built about 1735, a mile west of the present [[West Swamp Mennonite Church (Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA)|West Swamp Church]] (General Conference Mennonite Church). It was torn down and rebuilt on the site of the present West Swamp Church in 1790.

Oberholtzer]] and the majority of the Milford Township ministers withdrew from the conference and claimed both meetinghouses. Those who were left, although without a minister, immediately built the Swamp meetinghouse for the group adhering to the Franconia Conference. Soon Jacob Beidler (1809-1874) was ordained. In 1863 Abraham Young was ordained to assist him, but was later silenced. Later ministers were John A. Beidler (1840-1912) and the 1958 ministers, John G. Gehman (1875- ), ordained in 1919, and Abram D. Yoder (1893- ), ordained in 1935. The membership in 1958 was 75. John H.
