Watch for details. Building St. Paul s: What do we know? (Part t) BY ANNE GREER Special Correspondent Between 1725, believed to be the year in which the Moseley silver was made, and 1745, the year that marks the arrival in St. Paul's of the Rev. Clement Hall, the parish was served by itinerant missionaries. We find record, for example, in the vestry minutes of the Rev. Mr. Fountain (1728/9); in 1780, the Rev. Mr. Robinson and the Rev. Walter Jones; and in 1732, the "effective and indurstrious" Rev. Bevil Granville. The Rev. John Boyd, al though rector of Society Par ish in the present Bertie County, came to St. Paul's sev eral times between 1732 and 1736. On one occasion it is noted that his surplice, showing the effects of hard use and much travel on muddy roads, had to be laundered at the expense (ten shillings) of the parish. A Scottish physician, trained at the University of Glasgow, Dr. Boyd died in 1738. The Rev. John Garziafrom Bath, also an occasional visitor to Edenton in the years before 1738, was recommended as Dr. Boyd's successor in Bertie. He died in November, 1744, after falling from his horse while visiting the sick. Until the Rev. Clement Hall was appointed rector of St. Paul's on August 9, 1745, no continuity of clerical leader ship had existed in the parish for many years. Mr. Hall is re garded as one of the most re vered clergymen of the parish, a diligent man of God who sought solely to serve the needs of his parishioners. He is cred ited also for his efforts in bring ing about the completion of the roof of the present brick church building of St. Paul's. It ap pears that construction of the brick building, begun in 1736, was not completed until fifteen years after Mr. Hall's death in 1759. What do we really know about the beginnings of St. Paul's Church? We know that in 1736, when construction of the church was begun, Edenton was a tiny town. In 1718, the existence here of only two houses can be documented. (It is unlikely that a building boom took place in the eighteen years prior to 1736.) The little town, insig nificant itself, was part of a parish that had no money to build a central parish church. We know that the only build ing Edenton had to offer for services was the wooden court house building on the green. Castelloe is featured in Hornets promo The Charlotte Hornets re cently recognized Andrew Castelloe as one of the Hornets Hometown Heroes and pre sented him two game tickets, $100 and special recognition in The Charlotte Observer. As part of that special recog nition, Andrew had his photo taken with Hornets star David Wesley. That photo appeared in the Charlotte Observer along with a tribute honoring him for his outstanding community service. ' His good works include be ing a guiding force for the past four years for the Room In the Inn Program that houses home less men and women in the Charlotte area each winter, he sets up the sleeping area and serves dinner for the guests at Christ Lutheran Church each week. Castelloe is also a member of the marching band at Myers Park High School where he is active in the International Bac calaureate Program. According to Andrew, his philosophy of life is, "By giv ing to others, you are often the one who gains the most." Andrew Castelloe is the son of Jerry and Sue Castelloe of Charlotte, NC. he is the grand son of Mrs. Jackie Castelloe of Edenton.

Andrew CasteHoe Hornets Hero We also know that four rural chapels, as they were built, one by one, in what are now the counties Surrounding Eden ton, were active in serving the needs of the people in their ar eas. The chapels, however, where lay readers sought to provide Anglican services to their congregations as fre quently as circumstances al lowed, required funding. Money dispensed for their con struction and maintenance fur ther drained any resources for building a principal house of worship. The parish financed the chapels until the Revolu tion. We know that our parish re mained financially strapped long after the Lords Propri etors chose in 1722, to desig nate a "Town of Edenton" as "capital of the colony." (Wextwee/c.'
