sent horror to the heart. Without the

corners, banging the window blinds and
the chilling blast set one's teeth itp 1 chat

The. early settlers of Rjpwati county were
religious people, and in ljaauy instances the
enjoyment of perfect liberty of conscience
was me great oujeci wuipa iney were seed
ing when they were making for themselves
a home in the western world. Tlie poor
Palatines had endured puich suffering in
their home on tlie Rhinc and been driven
forth to seek a shelter for their families in
foreign lands. They, or their descendants,
found a resting place in eastern Rowan.
The Scotch Irih tied from the north of Ire
land, in consequence of disabilities imposed
on tiicm for thy sake of their religion. They
found a home in the fertile lands of western

not only in the affection and doctrines of
the settlers, but in the form f organized
Presbjterian Congregations. On pages 4(i
and 47 of the first volume of deeds in the
Register's office, wefind it-recorded that, on
the 17th of January, 175$, John Lynn and
Isoomi Lvnn gave a deed tor twelve acres
of land, more or less, on ' Ja-. Cathey's line,
in Anson county "to a congregation belong

the At king River and YeCatabo-Do. adher

belonging to the old Synod of Philadel

that there was an organized congregation
of Presbyterian at this
purchasing land, and its
the ''Lower Meeting HoUie."'- The-second
name by which it wasknwn was "Cathey's
Meeting House, ' doubtless because in the
neighliorhood of the Cathevs. Its third and
present name, was T'lyntira. Whether it
was an organized -church, with its rcgularlv
ordained elders, at that cUrly day, wc have
no means of determining. It is probable
that some of the first settlers, the Catheys,
Brandons, Burs, Andrcw'sj,Orahams or Nes-
bits were ordained ciders before lcavinsr
Pennsylvania, and exercised their office in
planting a church near their new homes.
A second thought suggested by the name,
'Lower Meeting House'! ,is that thtre was
at that date an "Upper Meeting House," or
nerhans more than one. The "Unner" one
.would naturally be looked for higher up the
principal streams the lftdkin and Cataw
ba and was no doubt- to be found in the
settlement where Statesville was afterwards
built, and which was a 'forwards divided
into the three churches of Fourth Creek,
(Statosvillc) Concord, and; Bethany. These
four churches of Rowan'J with the seven
churches of Mecklenburg constituted the
t welve historical churches of Western North
Carolina, whose boundeffes were defined,
and whose organization was completed by
the missionaries. Rev, Messrs. Spencer and
McWhorter, in 17-31. Tlie latter is the date
generally assigned as the time of their or
ganization, but most of j them are really a
dozen, or perhaps twenty years older, or
contemporaneous with earliest settlement
From the History of Fijuirlh Creek church
written by Rev. E. F. Ruck well, we learn
that Fourth Creek was gathered into aeon
gregation at least as early a 17ol, ami their
place of -worslrp was fixihl upon as early as
1756. The Rev. John Thompson came into
this region as early as 175i, and settled near
Centre church. He preached at Fourth
Creek, and various otherjstations in Rowan
county for about two years, and it is said
the people came 20 or 23 miles to his ap
pointments. "From tl4 Davidson settle
ment and the region of Beattie'a Ford,thev
fame; frm Roway, the Brandons, the Cow
ans, the Brawleys. . Somtmies he baptised
a score of infants at once." He had one
preaching station near Where Third Creek
church is, one at ?dorrison1s Mill, one near'
the present site of Davidson College. As
Cathey's Meeting House iTJiyatira) was es
tablished about this time, or earlier, no
doubt John Thompson preached at that
place also.
From a manuscript map of Fourth Creek
Congregation, drawn up by Hon. William
Sharpe in 1773,' it appeals that there were
one hundred and ninety six heads of fami
lies, of one hundred jandi eleven different
names residing within; ten niiles of Fourth
Creek church, ami belonging to theeongrc
gation. The number of -persons' at the usual
estimate of five to a fami1, would be near
ly one thousand. Oat ot these were formed
in later dajs, the churc h ;sof Fourth Creek,
Concord, Bethany, Shiloli, Bethesda, Third
Creek, Fifth Creek, Tabor and Clio, or parts
of them, now numbering 1097 members.
But though these were in bid Rowan, they
arc now in Iredell county. Cathey's or Thy

an Presbyterians. In l7a- two missionaries
wero scut by -the Synod of Philadelphia to
visit Virginia and North Carolina witli di
rections to show special regard to the va
cancies between the Yadkin and Catawba,
The names of thesci ministers were McMor
die and Donaldson. In the fall cf t755 the
Rev. Hugh McAdcn made a tour through
Northland South Carolina, preached at
Cathey s Meeting Hnuse, and was solicited
to remain, but declined.; The same year
rue uev. John lirainard And the liev. Elihu
Spencer were directed y
lork: to -supply vacant
North Carolina." but there is no report of
uieir visit f or ten years alter tli is, there
is; no record of any laborer in this region,
but the congregations still held together
ana awaited the arrival of a minister. In
1764 the Synod of Philadelphia sent the
Rev. Messrs. Elihu Spencer and Alexander
McWhorter to form societies, adjust the
boundaries of Congregations, ordain elders
and dispense the Sacraments. It was at this
period that the seven churches of Mecklen
barg, and the two churches of Rowan
Fourth Creek and Thyatira were definite
ly established. The next vear, 17G3, Fourth
Creek and Thyatira united in a call for the
services of the Rev. Elihu Spencer, and the
congregations sent wagons, accompaniad by
elderly men, nil the way to New Jersey to
move his family to Rowan. It is said that
he declined to come because the messengers
refused to pledge themselves to restore his.
wire to her friends in the event of his death
at an early day. It was eight years more
before Thyatira obtained a minister. Iij
1772 the Rev. Mr. Harris, of whom weknetii
nothing further, took charge of the church
and remained aUiut two years. In J778 the
Rev. James Hall became 'pastor of Fourth
Creek, Concord and Bethany churches
arid in 1777 the Rev. gamucl Eusebius Mc
Crkle was ordained and installed pastor of
Ifiyatira. church. Mr. McCorkle was bornl
ittt Lancaster county, Pa,, in 1740, and came
with his parents to Rowan in 1756. He
prepared for "College under the Rev. David
Caldwell of Guilford, and was graduated
frpm Princeton in 1772. He was licensed
bjr the Presbytery of New York in 1779.
and then preached two years in Virginia.
After preaching about eight years iu Thya
tira, he commenced a classical school, alwut
a 'mile east of the church, which he called
iZion Peernassus Academy." This school
vy;as eminently useful, and Dr. McCerklc's
students were thoroughly drilled, and six
of the seven graduates of the first class from
tlie University of North Carolina Were Dr.
JfcCorklc's pupils. Forty-five of his stu
dents entered the ministry, and many of
of them became lawyers, judges,' and offi
cers of State. The signal so. -cess of his pu
pils in achieving eminence arose from his
faithfulness, in discouraging young men who
were destitute of respectable talents from
fallowing any of the learned professions. -
I In 1793, the Trustees of the University of
North Carolina elected Dr. McCorkle. Pro
fessor of Moral and Political Philosophy and
History, with the view of his acting as Pres:
ident. Gen. Davie, it seems, objected to
the arrangement, and this caused Dr. Mc
Corkle to necline the place. In 1790 the
Rev. Joseph Caldwell was elected to the
chair of Mathamatics, and presiding Profes
sor, and for forty years guided the institu
tion in its career of usefulness. But Dr.
McCorkle did not cease to labor for the ad
vancement of the infant University. He
made many excursions to raise funds for its
endowment, was present at the laying of the
corner stone of the first building, and made
an address upon that occasion. He did not
cease to love the University to the end of
bis hie. On the 2nd of July, 177G,the Rev.
Samuel E. McCorkle was maiyied to Marga
ret Gillespi", of Salisbury, the daughter of
the patriotic Mrs. Elizabeth Steele, who re-
Sieved the distress ot Gen. Greene, in Salis
bury, by the timely supply of money. Sha

only tolerated it. On the other hand apart
of his congregation was fully under its in
fluence. In iy0", Back Creek was erected
into a separate church. At its organization
it possessed an eldership of peculiar excel

southwestern corner of Rowan was organi
zed, mainly from Centre congregation, but
partly from Back Creek. In 1829, Franklin
