the camp-meeting held at Rembert's Camp-ground, cut down in the 

 very morning of life and the early dawning of future usefulness. 



Coburn, John R. was born in Charleston District, South Caro- 

 lina, September 18, 1799 ; converted in 1827; admitted on trial in the 

 Conference in January, 1829, and appointed to Broad River Circuit, 

 Georgia; 1830, Reedy River; 1831, Saluda; 1832, mission south of 

 Charleston; 1833, Combahee and Pon Pon; from 1834 to 1836, 

 Beaufort and neighboring islands; 1837, North and South Santee; 

 1838, Lower Santee; 1839, South Santee; from 1840 to 1852, Com- 

 bahee and Ashepoo; 1853 and 1854, Combahee; from 1855 to 1859, 

 Beaufort Mission; from 18G0 to 1863, Savannah River Mission; 

 1864 and 1865, Barnwell and Silverton Mission; 1866, Blackville; 

 from 1867 to 1876, Hardeeville Mission ; 1877, Hardeeville Circuit 

 and Mission; 1878, superannuated, and sustained that relation until 

 his death at Florence, South Carolina, September 29, 1880, in the 

 eighty-second year of his age. For over half a century he was a 

 faithful watchman on the walls of Zion, and a greater part of that 

 time he was a missionary to the blacks. In this work he was a 

 model ; in the cabin of the slave or the mansion of the master he 

 was alike earnest aud faithful. He grew old gracefully, and as he 

 felt his end approaching there was no alarm or apprehension in 

 view of death. He was ready — had been ready for many long 

 years. 



Dougherty, George a native of South Carolina, a man of great 

 affliction, but uncommon fortitude; suffered the loss of one of his 

 eyes by small-pox; his body tall but very slender; his organical 

 powers weak, and voice effeminate ; yet under all these disadvantages 

 he became a great preacher. His mind and memory were exceed- 

 ingly capacious, and he accumulated a vast fund of knowledge; he 

 seemed to retain the substance of all he read or heard of importance, 

 and could recite or repeat it with great correctness. He was totally 

 dead to the world, indefatigable in labor and study, a father to the 

 poor and distressed. As a citizen, a Christian, a minister, a pre- 

 siding elder, and a member of the South Carolina Conference, he 

 stood preeminent among the people. He began to travel in Santee, 

 1798; Oconee, 1799; Charleston, 1800 and 1801; Saluda District, 

 the three following years; Camden District, 1805 and 1806; super- 

 annuated in 1807, and died soon after in Wilmington, North Caro- 

 lina, on the 23d of March. He was buried in the African church 

 by the side of William Meredith, the founder of that church, and 

 the Derson who formed that society. (See Chapter XIII.)
