in 1794, to Broad Eiver. At the end of this year he 

 located; but in 1801 he rejoined the Conference, and 

 was sent to Broad River; in 1802, to Saluda; in 1803, 

 to Sandy River. This year, compelled by domestic 

 necessities, he again located; but he ]oved the itiner- 

 ancy, and whenever he could leave his helpless family 

 to travel, he did so. In 1819 he again joined the Con-

 young and old. The day of judgment will reveal many 

 who were brought home to God and to glory through 

 his instrumentality. Peace to his remains. 



Jonathan Jackson was admitted on trial in 1789, and 

 located in 1815. He filled some of the most important 

 appointments in the South Carolina Conference, and 

 fifteen years of the twenty-six of his itinerant minis- 

 try he was a presiding elder. " He was one that could 

 bear acquaintance. The more you were with him, the
