in Wamlmw Cluu-cli. Alter iiwliile one of the IJisliops of 

 the Cliureli, objecting to one, not episcopally ordiuned; 

 holding service m iiie i urish Cuui-ch, TJie siubboi-u old 

 planters shut up their church and built one of wood on the 

 "Eiver Road," in which lie couid serve them without hin- 

 drance. He was sent with Mr, Alexander Mazyck as I'arish 

 representative to Secession Convention in ISGU, and signed

 his death. In life he was esteemjed and honored, and in 

 death deeply mourned by all. 



The next church in succession to Nazareth, Avhich was

 two schools kept, one in u])]>er part of Parish, near Echaw 

 Cliurch, and so called, and the otlier in the lower part, called
