profelytes to a flock, which this pious man led 
about forty years ago, from South Carolina, and 
fettled in this fruitful difhidt. It is about nine 
miles from Sunbury to Medway meeting houfe,

road towards fort Barrington, on the A la ram aha, 
palling through a level country, well watered by 
large dreams, branches of Medway and Newport 
rivers, coupling from extenfive fwamps and marihes, 
their fources : thefe fwamps are daily clearing 
and improving into large fruitful rice plantations, 
aggrandizing the well inhabited and rich dnir»ct of 
St. John’s paiifh. The .cad is flraight, Ipacjr Us>

Magnolia glauca, all planted by nature, and left 
Handing, by the virtuous inhabitants, to fliade the 
road, and perfume the fultry air. The exten-
