ID TRAVELS IN’ 
profelytes to a flock, which this pious man led 
about forty years ago, from South Carolina, and 
fettled in this fruitful dillridl. It is about nine 
miles from Sunbury to Medway meeting- houfe, 
which ftands on the high road oppofite the Sun- 
bury road. As foon as the congregation broke up, 
I re-afifumed my travels, proceeding down the high 
road towards Fort Barrington, on the Alatamaha, 
palling through a level country, well watered by 
large flreams, branches of Medway and Newport 
rivers, courfing from extenlive fwamps and marfhes, 
their fources : thefe fwamps are daily clearing 
and improving into large fruitful rice plantations, 
aggrandizing the well inhabited and rich diftridl of 
St. John’s parifli. The road is flraight, fpacious, 
and kept in excellent repair by the indufbrious in- 
habitants and is generally bordered on each fide 
with a light grove, confiding of the following trees 
and Ihrubs : Myrica Cerifera, Calycanthus, Halefia 
tetraptera, Itea flewartia, Andromeda nitida, Cy- 
relia racemiflora, entwined with bands and gar- 
lands of Bignonia fempervirens, B. crucigera, Lo-* 
nicera fempervirens and Glycene frutefcens thefe 
were overfhadowed by tall and fpreading trees, as 
the Magnolia grandiflora. Liquid ambar, Lirio- 
dendron, Catalpa, Quercus fempervirens, Quercus 
dentata, Phillos ; and on the verges of the 
canals, where the road was caufwayed. Hood 
the CuprelTus dilticha, Gorclonia Lacianthus, and 
Magnolia glauca, all planted by nature, and left 
Handing by the virtuous inhabitants, to fhade the 
road, and perfume the fultry air. The extern 
five plantations of rice and corn, now in early ver- 
dure, decorated here and there with groves of ho- 
riferous and fragrant trees and fhrubs, under the 
cove?
