THE REGISTER BOOK FOR THE PARISH PRINCE FREDERICK WINYAW ANN: DOM: 1713 PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF THE COLONIAL DAMES OF AMERICA 1916 WILLIAMS & VVILKINS COMPANY BALTIMORE COPYKICHT 1916 BY ELIZABETH W. A. PRINGLE JUN -I 1916 iCl.A4n3337 ^1 .. i. FOREWORD In 1682 it was found necessary to divide the inhabited parts of the Province of South CaroHna into Counties, of which tnree were laid out, Berkeley, embracing Charleston, and the space around the capital, "extending from Sewee on the north to Stono Creek on the South ; beyond this to the North- ward was Craven County ; and to the Southward Colleton County, all extending within the land to a distance of thirty-five miles from the Sea-coast." (Rivers History of South Carolina, p. 134.) Shortly afterwards Carteret county was added to the number. "These counties were subdivided into squares of 12,000 acres each, for the several shares of the proprietors, land-graves, and cas- siques." Oldmixon in Carroll's vol. 2. Craven, formerly denomi- nated Clarendon county, embraced in its subsequent extensions a much larger territory than the other counties. From Berkeley on the south, it reached towards the Cape Fear on the north, and with North Carolina for one boundary on the north, and north-west, and the Santee and its branches on the other sides, it extended through a wide belt of country from the sea-coast to the mountains. ... It took its name from William, Earl of Craven, one of the first lord proprietors, and long retained it. ... This county embraced the region of the Pedee throughout its course, from the North Carolina line southward. The first parochial organization in Craven County was under an Act of Assembly of 1706, commonly called the Church Act, passed for the establishment of religious worship according to the Church of England, and for erecting churches. It divided the Province into ten parishes, of which Craven County constituted one, by the name of St. James Santee. — In 1721 the Parish of Prince George, Winyah, was established, — bounded on the S. W. by Santee River, on the N. E. by the Cape Fear River, on the East by the Ocean, and on the West "as far as it shall be in- habited by his Majesty's subjects. " "Statutes" vol. 3, p. 171. In 1734, a further division took place; the Parish of Prince Frederick IV FOREWORD being established, and taken from that of Prince George, Winyah, embracing, according to the Act, the region of the Upper Pedee on the West. (Statutes, vol. 3, p. 374.) Dissatisfaction still continued to exist as to the dividing line between the two Parishes. It had been decided that the line was to extend due North over the Pedee River to the utmost bounds of the Province, it being provided "that the tract of land to the East of the said line, between that and the Sea, should be deemed as part of the Parish of Prince George, Winyah and on the other side of the line to the West, a part of the Parish of Prince Frederick. " The following letter of Colonel George Pawley brought the matter to the notice of Council: — July 7th 1739. Please your Honour. — I think it my duty to inform your Honour that tlie dividing line of Prince George and Prince Frederick's Parishes is not yet finished according to the additional Act made, which was to cross Pedee River, and continue a North course till it touch the Provincial line; which, if it is done, will, in my hum- ble opinion, break that small company as is of late erected on that Neck lying between Great Pedee and Little Pedee Rivers also it will cross some part of Queen sborough TowTiship which is a Parish of itself. Therefore if your Honour pleases to think on it, I doubt not but you will be of the opinion to have Great Pedee the boundary of the Parish upward from where the line is marked and strikes the said River; for as it now stands, there is a confusion among the Inhabitants, not knowing in what Parish they belong; also, the Surveyors know not how to certify their Plots some for one Parish and some for the other. There if the river be the Bounds the work is done, and no charge to the Publick; and that your Honour may have a better idea, I have drawn a small Draft of the Rivers in these Parts; so I beg your Honour will be so good as to forgive, if I have done amiss, for it is not my intent so to do, but the hearty desire for the good of the place. So beg leave to subscribe myself your Honour's most obedient, humble servant to command, "George Pawley. " To the Hon. Wm. Bull. (Council Journal, No. 7.) FOREWORD V Whereupon, it was "Ordered, that the Clerk do draw out two copies of Mr. George Pawley's letter, with the draft of the Rivers, one of them to be sent to the Parish of Prince Frederick's, the other to be sent to the Parish of Prince George to know whether they have any objection to make to the proposals contained in the said letter, for settling the Boundary of these Parishes, and to return an answer. " The matter having thus been referred to the inhabitants, action was taken by them; and on the 25th January 1742, a Petition from sundry inhabitants of Prince George was laid before Council praying that the Great Pedee might be made the dividing line between the Parishes; .... This petition was signed by George Pawley, John Woodbury, David Cherrey and thirty-eight others. A counter petition was at the same time presented by John Avant, and nineteen others, inhabitants of Prince Frederick's praying the line should not be so run: "1st. Because the Inhabitants residing between the said rivers are twelve miles and upwards nearer co our Parish Church than to George-town. 2nd. The major part of the above-said Inhabitants must go through our Parish and pass by our Church to pubHc worship, and other reUgious duties and other officers to George-town. : 3rd. Because the said Inhabitants humbly pray to be included in the River. 4th. Because the Town-ship of Queensborough is laid on both sides of the Pedee River; and 5th. That whenever the Legislature shall to erect the Town- ship of Queensborough and Williamsburg into separate Parishes, this of Prince Frederick's being the oldest Parish (from which Prince George was divided,) will be confined to narrow limits, and consequently for ever remain one of the smallest, if not poorest, Parishes in the Province, if so valuable a branch as that of Pedee be taken from it." "We further presume to acquaint your Hon" that the North line appointed by Act of Assembly to be run from John Bogg'.s plantation, on Black River, was supposed and intended (by our VI FOREWORD Representatives) to make Pedee River at or below the plantation Euhaney, belonging to Mr. Percival Pawley, about 18 miles distant from said Bogg's plantation; but we now find that a North course excludes from this Parish sundry families residing on Pedee River, who constantly attend divine service in this Parish, being about twelve miles distant from our Church, and at least twenty- two miles from George-town. " ("Council Journal," No. 8, pp. 454-5.) "We therefore pray your Hon"** to relieve the Inhabitants by ordering the dividing line to be run a straight course, which shall be done on our own proper Charges. " . . . . The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table. "Council Journal" No. 8, p. 455. These extracts from public documents will show how the two parishes bearing the names of Princes instead of Saints were established; in reading the records it almost seems as though their un-saintly names had influenced their early career; but what must strike this generation with wonder is the great im- portance they attached to their churchly duties, and the long journeys tliey made to attend Divine Service, even when minis- tered to by very earthly humans; their constant provision for the poor of the Parish must excite our admiration, in the midst of much which does not, to say the least. The present church of Prince Frederick is situated near the Great Pee Dee River, (which runs through North Carolina almost to the border of Virginia, under the name of Yadkin, and takes it rise in a spring at Blowing Rock.) There is a little wooden summer chapel in the village of Planters- ville, where service is held every Sunday. The parish was named after that Prince of Wales, Frederic, who the father of George III, and son of George II., was himself never King; it was after his daughter the Princess Augusta, that the town of Augusta, Georgia, was named. The first church building of this parish, as far as we know, was built on a high beauiifuUy situated bluff, overlooking the Black River, about twenty miles south-west of the present building. An expedition to the spot, to take some photographs of it was made late in March. Nothing could have been more beautiful and FOREWORD Vll peaceful that this God's Acre, lying high above the fast-flowing river, shaded by stately water-oaks, rejoicing in their glistening new foliage, and the white marble monuments, peeping through a tangle of wild azalea, dogwood, and honeysuckle, every open space covered with wild violets, purple and white, while the tiny perfect blossoms of the housetonia delighted the eye and spirit, for they are simply little wild for-get-me-nots. The photos were not very successful, but were the best that could be made in the deep shadows of the sacred spot. There is no fence or en- closure around the graveyard which must cover two acres of space, but there are private brick enclosures with locked gates, and the marble monuments within are well kept and cared for. It was in this higher region that the first settlers fixed their homes, for indigo grew wild around and that was their first farm- ing industry. Fortunes were made rapidly by its cultivation, and we are told that at one time it brought from four to five dollars a pound. In 1754 the amount of indigo shipped from South Carolina was 216,924 pounds (?). (Ramsay's History S. C, vol. II, p. 138.) Its cultivation ceased about the close of the century or soon after. It was then that the settlers moved away nearer to the coast and began the cultivation of Rice on the lower banks of the Pee Dee River and the church on the high bluff over-looking the short but very deep Black River, was left without a congregation. There is no record for many years, but "In 1827, Monday April 9th at the Universal Church on Pee Dee, (a church built by the neighbours of Pee Dee of all denominations as a place of worship for all denominations) to take into consider- ation the best means of erecting an Episcopal church, between Dr. WiUiam Allston's plantation and Black River Ferry. " (Ex- tract from the records of vestry of Prince Frederick Parish from April 1827, to March 29th, 1880.) Apparently the vestry could not agree on a suitable place for the Church, for though the money was raised and a building Committee appointed, nothing was done. The next record is date Jany 28th. 1855. The Rev' Hugh Fraser in the Chair. . . . The following persons were appointed a Building Committee, viz, D. M'^Dowell, R. F. Allston, and Francis Weston, with power to contract for and build a church of conven- Vlll FOREWORD lent dimensions on a bit of land given by the Rev^ Hugh Fraser. . . . The following gentlemen are requested to act as Vestry men — viz, Capt. John AUston, Dr \\:m AUston, Francis Weston, Benj. F. Dunkin, and Joel R. Poinsett As Wardens, R. F. W. Allston, D. M«. Dowell As delegates to the Convention, Rev''. M. H. Lance, B. F. Dunkin, J. R. Poinsett. The building was completed the ensuing Spring, and Service held in the Chapel. — The land liberally granted by the Rev^. Hugh Fraser, together wth a space of fifteen feet wide on his North line down to the River with Public Landing, was surveyed by R. F. W. Allston, the grant recorded, and the Chapel con- secrated by the Right ReV*, Nathaniel Bowen, D.D. who also preached. — Rev''. Hugh Fraser read the sentence of Consecration, & the ReV*. M. H. Lance read the Morning Prayer, the Rev**. P. Trapier Keith, and Rev''. Alex' Glennie were also present. . . ." The minutes of the Vestry meetings continue without anything of great interest, they purchased several hundred acres of Glebe, also erected a comfortable and commodious Winter parsonage, for the Rector of the Chapel, and also a very comfortable summer parsonage in the little pine-land settlement of Plantersville, and the Parish flourished but they seemed content with the wooden Chapel until the Easter Meeting of 1857, when we read, "The want of sufficient accommodation for the congregation was then di.scussed" and it was decided to erect a new edifice of brick, suitable for the present and future wants of the Parish." A list was opened and most liberal sums subscribed. The contract was given to Mr. Louis Barbot, Architect, and is a beautiful building, costing $12,650. . . . There were many delays; the Contractor Glenn died; the furnishings and finishings which FOREWORD IX were ordered abroad, were lost running the Blockade, the war having been declared before the building was quite finished, and it remained an unfinished ruin almost until 1876, when by the generosity of John Earl Allston of Brooklyn, N. Y., the building was repaired and completed. As soon as this was accomplished the wooden Church built in 1836 was moved to the summer settle- ment of Plantersville where it is still used for service every Sun- day by the faithful few, within reach, often literally a scriptural quorum. The writer first became interested in the publication of these records when it became necessary to repair the brick church which had been damaged by storms and was not thought safe, so that service had not been held there for a great many years. Being appointed on the Committee for raising funds for its repair, it was suggested that the publication of the Church Record by subscription, would be a means of adding to the fund; this idea was eagerly adopted and a long list of people whose family records were in the old manuscript, which was kept in a box in the Bank, being in a very frail and tattered condition, put their names down for a volume at five dollars. Then came the terrible European War, and no money was forthcoming, and the publication had to be given up. It was then that the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America came forward and through its "Committee for the Preservation of Existing Records, " with great generosity gave the whole amount needed for the publication of the old Register. To them our heart-felt thanks are offered. I would also desire to return thanks to M'' S. A. Graham of Heineman, S. C. who gave me a type-written copy of the Register, which he had made for his own use; also my warm thanks to M' D. E. Huger Smith, of Charleston, for his great assistance in verifying the copy with the original; also to D'. Joseph S. Ames, of Johns Hopkins University, for his most valuable aid in making the index, as well as for his advice, and support in the matter when I was cast down and discouraged, seeing no prospect of getting the money to accomplish the work in which I had become so deeply interested.

Bpp. of London. Black River So Carohna May 1st 1756 My Lord, We the Vestry-Men & Chh Wardens of the Parish of Prince Frederic in S° Carolina, beg leave to address Your Lordship, as our Diocesan & spiritual Father in Christ, to acquaint Your Lordship, That this our Parish is now vacant, & destitute of a Minister, thro the Resignation and dismission of The Rev*^ Mr Michel Smith from this Cure. A Gentleman who has not been long resident with Us, but who in that short Space has rendered himself quite infamous, & obnoxious to ev'ry Individual almost of this Country thro' his flagrant Manners, and bad Conduct: for in 3 Years (the Time he was here) he has done more Injury to the cause of Virtue, Religion, and the Church, than his Suc- cessors can repair in many; We therefore put our Selves under 132 THE REGISTER BOOK FOR THE Your Lordship's paternal Care & Protection, desiring and hoping, that Your Lordship would be pleas'd to appoint some worthy good Clergyman to be our Pastor, whom We should be glad to see and receive as soon as possible. We hope that Your Lord- ship will not take it amiss in Us to observe, That this Parish is the largest, and most populous in this Province; Yet tho' numer- ous in Inhabitants We of the Church are widely scatter'd, and but few in number; The Parish oners being for the most part of the Communion of the Church of Scotland, and Settlers from thence and the North of Ireland; who have two Meetings, and large Congregations: so that this Parish above all other in this Province, merits Your Lordship's Care and thought; and requires a diligent, grave, & pious Minister to take Care of the Interests of the Church, which are hourly suffering, & will wholly sink if not timely and properly supported; for Mr Smith's bad & irre- Ugious Manners, has caus'd Numbers to join themselves to other Congregations or to turn their Backs on the Church, and Divine Service; chusing rather to stay away, than sit under the hearing of a profligate Teacher. Our Back Country is fill'd with Numbers who ne'er heard the Word of God preach 'd, or saw a Minister among them. Indeed Mr Smith did make a Tour into these remote Parts of the Parish, But He had better stay'd at home, for the Consequence has been, that thro' his indiscreet Carriage. (We sh*^ rather say immoral Conduct) among them, instead of bringing them over, and joining of them to the Communion of our Church, he has unhappily driven them to send for Anabap- tist Teachers from Philadelphia, who dip many, and form them into Congregations; so that the regaining of them, and making them Members of the Established Chh will (we judge) be attended with great Pains, if not an impossibility. A Gentleman of Gravity, Virtue, & Prudence, will not fail of reaping a plentiful Harvest here both in Spirituals and Tem- porals — We have a neat Parish Church, genteel Parsonage, Glebe, Cattle, and other Emoluments, for accomodation of what judi- cious Minister Your Lordship may send over; whose Salary will be One Hundred Pounds Sterling & upwards paid half yearly by the Public Treasurer, besides Perquisites, wc** may am* to as much, or more or less, according to his Conduct; A Minis- ter's Income here, depending much on his Carriage and Manners. PARISH PRINCE FREDERICK WINYAW 133 We shall only add, That the adjoining Parishes around Us, are also destitute of Ministers, so that there is not a Clergyman from Santee River to Cape Fear, to perform any Ecclesiastical Office, or administer the Sacraments on any Emergency: so that We hope Your Lordship will take the Premises into V religious Consideration, & grant our Request, who are with y*^ utmost Duty and Respect May it please Y"" Lordship Your Lordship's most dutiful and obed* Sons & hble Serv*" John White Geo Atkinson Ja^ Crockat William Green Ch^ Woodmason Anthony White Ja« M^'Pherson William Walker The following is Copy of the Vestry's Letter to the Secretary of the Society for propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Black-River S° Carolina May 1st 1756 ReV^ Sir! The Augmentation lately made by the present Assembly of this Province, to the Salaries of our Parochial Clergy by increas- ing their Stipends from 70£ to 100£ Stg & upwards, p"" Ann; and thereby freeing the Society from a Burden they have long born in maintaining Missionaries among Us, will. We doubt not meet with the Societys Approbation On this Occasion Sir, We take the Liberty to return the Society our humble thanks for their Care of our Spiritual Concerns so many Years past; And this both on behalf of our Selves, as well as all other Inhabitants of this Parish Members of the Church of England, who w*'' grate- ful Hearts will ever retain a Due Sense of the The Societys many singular & repeated favours shown Us. The last Missionary they sent Us over, was The Rev'^ Michae' Smith — for whom We built a genteel House, and did ev'rything within our small Power to render his situation agreeable, and Residence easy among Us. He was rec'd here with great Alacrity — shown uncommon Marks of Respect; and reC^ many singular Tokens of favour and Regard, 134 THE REGISTER BOOK FOR THE And as there are (nor have been for some Years) no resident Min- ister in two or three Parishes adjoining Us, He might have com- manded a very plentiful income, nay, aflSuent Fortune, (beyond any Country Clerg\TTian in this Province) had his Will been equal to his Power, and Virtue as shining as his Abihties, But unhappily for Him and for Us 'tis with great Concern We are obhged to say that this Gent""^ Manners have been so flagitious his Conduct so unhappy and imprudent, both in Spirituals and Temporals, as to subject Him to the Public Censure and Odium of this Whole Province, and thereby reducing Himself to the Necessity of resignmg this Mission, and leaving this Province, and thereby forcing Us on the disagreeable Measure of dismissing of Him from this Cure, to which He never was, or could hope to be elected, from having shewn himself more fit to pull down and destroy, then to build up the Church of Christ. Our long Silence may be interpreted remissness, or judg'd Ingratitude by the Society; but it has been owing to this Cause viz*. We were willing to pass over M"" Smith's Irregularities, and even (for a long while) winked at His Errors, and cover 'd his failings, in hope, that Time, Experience, and Admonition might reclaim Him, and all His Miscarriages be obliterated and forgot — being inclined from Charity and regard to his function to impute his faults, rather to Levity, Indiscretion, and Human Infirmity, than to a bad, or a corrupt Heart: We delayed there- fore laying Our Spiritual Concerns before the Society, till We saw the Effect of our friendly Counsels and forbearance, and M'hat We could consistent w*^^ Justice, Truth, & Our Duty, pro- nounce of this Genf" — Sorry are We to say, that so far from reforming of His Conduct, and suiting it to the Dignity of His Profession, and the Maxims of Right Reason (We might add, of Common Sense) That He seemed to run counter to both, tramp- ling on all Rules, and despising all Advice; He has oft left his flock without Notice, Necessity, or Our Consent; so that our Church has been frequently shut up, even for 3 Months to- gether, without his taking of the least thought or Care, ab* get- ting of it supply 'd in his Absence, And in one of His late Rambles into the North Province, He bro* home with Him a Woman, whom he lives with and calls his Wife; tho' in our strictest Ex- PARISH PRINCE FREDERICK WINYAW 135 amination of Him on this liead, he could produce no Witness or Vouchers of y^ Celebration of his Marriage with Her; so that We have cause to apprehend that if he is contracted, it must be agree- able to some assertions He has made in Public Company, viz* "That it was in his Power as a Priest, to marry himself to any Woman whatever, without the Intervention of a Third Person." Nor has He as yet realiz'd his Marriage, or given the Public any satisfaction in Relation to it, further, than by publishing the Bans of Marriage between Him, and this Woman one Sunday in the Church But as We are inform'd That Mr Smith has said, "That the Society shew so little Regard to what may be urged by the Laity ag^* any of their Missionaries, as to credit the Asser- tion of any single one of them, prior to the joint Testimony of any Body of People in America, We beg leave Sir further to declare, That we are Mr Smith's Friends, and Well-W^ishers ; and what We here say, arises not from Party Prejudice, or ill Will, but from a strict Regard to Truth, the Dictates of our Consciences, the Obligations of our Oaths and Office, and what is incumbent on Us as Men & Christians, and in Honour bound to the Society to declare, lest we suffer in our own Characters, — The Society in their annual Memorial, desire that they may be inform'd of whatever is remiss and scandalous in their i*v is- sionaries; And therefore We will make no Apology for these Dec- larations, or for what We apprehend to be just and right, further, than by for enclosing a few Papers to corroborate our Assertions, and to shew that the bad Character M"" Smith Sustains is founded on facts, and not wholly built on the Base of Common Fame, We are Rev'* Sir The Societys most obliged and Your very hble Serv*^ The late & present Vestry Men & Chh Wardens of the Parish of P.

Mr Smith hav^ also bro* a Bill of 19£ for Work done to the Stable &c. The same was deny'd Paym* He havs had 30£ given Him by y"" former Vestry (arising from Sale of the Materials of y"" Old Parsonage House) to discharge the said Bill. 138 THE EEGISTER BOOK FOR THE The Vestry being informed That Mr Smith intended to send Mr Mac Cartys Bill & Rec* home to the Society and thereby to impose on their kindness, directed Mr Charles Woodmason to add a Postscript to their former Letters, to this Effect, which was done accordingly, Black River Ch'^ May 4th 1756 Rev*^ Sir! Postscript. The Vestry having reed Letters from y^ Rev'^ Mr Smith affirming, "That he had been arrested by y^ Carpenter who Built "y^ Parsonage House, for the Sashes of the said House, and de- "siring reimbursement" they could not but be surpris'd at the Contents, as the s"^ Carpenter had been paid One Thousand Pounds of this Curc^ for building of y*' said House, Sashes, Closets, Beaufets, and all Conveniences included. They therefore sent to the said Carpenter, whose answer was, "That he had never "rec*' a penny from Mr Smith on any such acc*^" They therefore waited in a Body on Mr Smith to examine into y'' grounds of his Allegations; That he shewed a Bill and Rec* of this Maccarty's, the Carpenter, for these Sashes; But on Scrutiniz- ing into y® Validity of such Bill and Rec*, They found it a contrived Affair of this M'^Cartys to counterbalance a like fictitious ace* bro* by the s^ Mr Smith ag^* y'^ s*^ MacCarty, neither of w''*' ace*" had any foundation (as we could find) but only in Anger & Re- sentment; and to occasion quarrels and Contention. After expostulating with Mr Smith on his daring to endeavour to saddle y^ Parish w"' such an open & barefaced fraudulent Ace*, his reply was, "That He made himself very easy ab* the Matter, for if "We did not allow it Him, y'^ Society would, and that He should "send it home to them." To prevent therefore Sir, the Good- nature & Kindness of the Society's being imposed on in this Manner, (sh*^ Mr Smith attempt) We here declare, that he never paid such Money, That y'' s'* M'^Carty had been before paid for these Sashes, and why this M^Carty arrested Him We find on inquiring to be owing to this "that Mr Smith being impatient "to get into the New House, broke it open, before finished, and also "broke open a Room in w'=^ this M'^Carty had locked up these "Sashes." That after this act of Indiscretion, Mr Smith em- "ployed another Workman to put up these Sashes, and finish PARISH PRINCE FREDERICK WIN YAW 139 "the House, unknown to this M^'Carty, & the Vestry. "That this "M^Carty, & Mr Smith falling out on this Head, they reciprocally "arrested each other by Way of Insult, Mr Smith bringing a fal- "lacious ace* of Diet, lodging &c., agst M'^Carty, and y® other "opposing this trumped up ace* by another ace* of like nature, "in w=^ a Charge was made of these Sashes." But had Mr Smith really paid the Man for these Sashes, We should immediately have made Him repaid Mr Smith with Costs, and this We told Him. But Mr Smith not offering to make this appear (indeed it could not be) We judged it necessary to give the Society this information, to be on their guard ag^* any indirect Steps Mr Smith may take to impose on them. After which they directed the Church Wardens to write to Mr MacCarty, in these or like words. Sir The Vestry having this Day reed Letf from Mr Smith, with an ace* of Yours ag^* Him for the Sashes of the Parsonage House, they waited in a Body on Mr Smith to enquire into y*^ Grounds of such an extraordinary Charge: and on Examination find it to be only the Issue of a Quarrel between You, and that You had trumpted up a Charge of this Nature ag** Him to oppose a like fallacious ace* bro* by him ag^* You, in order to pay Him in his own Coin. However y^ Vestry could not but be amazed That You could take so extraordinary a Step as this; and while they were at the Parsonage House, took Notice, that there still remains sev' Matters unfinished, w<='' by your Contract You are bound to do; And there- fore They have enjoined Us to address You hereon, to desire You to repair to the Parsonage, and finish off whats remaining to do there, within one Month from this date, otherwise they will be forced to fall on Measures to oblige You, as will not be agree- able.

And the said Persons, tendering their Votes, & insisting on their Qualifications, as Freeholders, and hav^ serv'd Parochial Offices, the Church Wardens (to silence the Clamour) accepted of their Votes. But a Scrutiny being demanded, and an appeal to Higher Powers threatened, the Church Wardens would not reckon in the Votes of the Persons Objected too, but marked them off.

Vv'e have (it is true INIy Lord) Addressed Your very worthy PARISH PRINCE PREDERICK WINY AW 173 Predecessor twice on the like Occasion, and can Boast the Singular Satisfaction to have found that our requests have not been un- roticed, from the Demission of two Gentlemen t - this Parish, Viz, The Rev'^ M'" Cooper, and the Rev'' Mr Dormer, (Our Present Resident Minister) We are extremely sorry to be thus importunate, but as the Rev*^ M'' Dormer has publickly Signified his intention of returning Home in June, July, or August next the farthest, our Church and Parish must of Course remain unsuppHed for a time, (those advantages only excepted which we may Occasionally reap from the Charitable dispositions of Neighbouring Clergy) who reside generally speaking at too wide a distance to Assist us often and as we are by no meanes Lukewarm Advocates for Xtianity and her perpetuity we therefore entertain the most san- guine hope that y"' Lordship will excuse us, when we address you thus Ardently Besides (My Lord) the remotest distance that we of this Province live at from y'' Protection and Care the Numbers of Different Sectaries that abound here; the Immediate ill Conse- quences resulting therefrom to the advantages of us, add to all which, The general prevalency of Presbyterianism in particular. These Circumstances Strongly call for our Assiduity our Impor- tunity and our most serious thoughts. But we further beg leave to subjoin, viz, that least your L** Ship Should Suspect, much less surmise, that any Difference what- ever can subsist between the Rev'' M'' Dormer & Ourselves, pre- viously to his intended Departure, we can assure y'' Lordship of the Contrary and as a proof have desired Mr Dormer to write in connexion with us, to which he has Readily assented, and enclose his Letter, with ours, unsealed. We have now My Lord, only to recapitulate in sanguine Terms (what has been already generally implied), that you will take our distressed situation under Cognizance, and as speedily as possible advert to our SoUicitations, by the Remission of a Minister to the future Cure of this Parish and that for our Sakes; for Mans Sake but Principally and Chiefly for his sake — who we are far from being Ignorant or in- sensibly of it, both lived & Dy'd for the Sake of Man.
