ROWAN COUNTY.: ' . 'btj.h. THE IXTUODUCTION AND GROWTH METHODISM IN ROWAN COUNTV. BT BEV. n. T. HUDSON, T. t. Tlie Approach of ' UclltodUm into the Rovtan Ikctiwu In 1780, the Tadkim Circuit was farmed, having only 21 members. Andrew Yeiirgan was the first Circuit preacher sent toj this new field. The church records give clue as to the boundarie of this circuit, but tra dition says, it embraced Stokes. Davidson, Rowan, then including Davie county and the Surry regions. . About this time thefriVv neers of Methodism began to preach at ra rious points in Howsn. Tliere beinj"Sno church edi5cc, they were ebliged to preach in private houses, learns, schoal houses, and under bush arlxirs. In 1783, Yadkin Circuit is reiwrted a having 318 members, a growth of 302 in three years. In 1784. the Salisbury circuit is entered upon the Minutes of the Confer ence, being organized into a separate pastor al charge, Jesse Lee being its pastor. Mr. Lee says, he found a "Society of truly affec tionate Christians," in the town of Salisbury. When thi society was organized, he jdoes Lnot state, but likely It was formed betjwecn the years ot 1780 and 1783. Mr. Lee says in his journal ; "In entering upon this field of labor, be was great ly encouraged at meeting large congre gations of anxious hearers at all of bis ap pointments. Gracious influences attended Ids preaching to the cenii'ort of believers and tlia awakining of sinners; his own soul was greatly blessed, while striving to bless others." While preaching "at HernVf his own soul was filled so full of love that he burst "into a flood of tears and there were few dry eyes in the hou3e." -'AtC. Ledbct terrs the hearers were much wrought upon." "At Cole's the congregation was so large we had to go under the shade of trets, and the friends wept greatly." "At Jersey meeting house, Col. G s wife came to me and began to cry and say, I am the worst creature in the world ; my heart is so hard I don't know what to do, and begged mete pray for her." "At Coster's n old man rose up ami spoke in a melting manner with tears streaming from his eves: I am almost ready to depart this life, and am not ready to die, and you may judge how I feel. The force and pathetic power of mv. Lee sermons may be seen from I hese brief extracts from his journal. Only one church edifice is mentioned The -Jersey meeting house, located somewhere nn the eastern side of the Yadkin river. The church in which the old pioneers preached in most, was the tem ple of nature. Its roof was t he blue terma- nunt, its floor the green earth swept by the winds its lamp the radiant Sun its sents the rocks, stumps and logs. The voice of the preacher mingled with the free songs of the birds, the splash of tlie rippling streams, and the neighing of horses tied in the bush es, and the cries of penitent souls. JKSSB t.KR was one of the eminent Methodist pioneers "a man of vigorous though unpolished mind, of rare popular eloquence and tireless energy, ' an itinerant evangelist Irom j the British province to Florida. " lie labored as Presiding Elder 55 years was chaplain to Congress the first Methodist American Historian of his church, begged money in the South to build the first Methodist church in the New England States, where he; be came the chief founder of Methodism. : Ik was the peer of Asbury and Dr.. Coke in talent and fruitl'ulness. Ha died gloriously .shouting, "Cflwry, Glory, Glory," in T81U, and was buried in the city of Baltimore! The prominence of Methodism in Salis bury ami tlie region round about, seemed to licj indicated from the fact that Bishop As bury preached in that town, 1785, and held two Annual Conferences there one in 178(5, ami the other in 1787 the first Conferences held in the western part of the State. HokHult. followed Mr. Lee on the Salis bury circuit, in 178o. He was a man of singular power in the pulpit, and shares the honor of laving the foundation of Method ism in this region. On one occasion, he was invited by wayjof fun-making to a ball. He went was invited to dance he took the floor, remarking : "I never engage in any kind of business without first asking the blessings of God, so let v pray."" Down he went upon his knees, and such a prayer roll ed out from his eloquent lips as shook the whole party with terror. The gav dancers were thunderstruck some lied from the house, others began to pray for mercy. Hull arose from his knees, gave out an appoint ment to preach there four weeks hence, and quitely retired. 'When the appointed time came round, Hull was there and preach ed a most effective sermon to a large congre gation. From that prayer in the ball room a wide extended revival began and spread in all directions. IXTKODUCTIOX OF METHODISM IXTODAVIK COUNTY, WHICH WAS TFIEX A PART OF IIOWAN. "Beale's Meeting house was probably the first Methodist church built in this section. It is said to have been built during the Rev olutionary war, in 1780. It was located on the "Old Georgia Road," near Anderson's Bridge over Hunter Creek. "Timber Bridge." a school house, located between Smith Grove and Olive Branch, was one of the early preaching places for the Methodist in Davie county. "Whitaker's Church" also claims fb be the first. So the Old Church four miles-east of Mocksville, known as the 'Dutch Meeting house" is put down a? among the first in all that country." "Bethel Church, first located about a mile ea.-t f Mocksville, afterwards moved to Mocksville, is one of the old churches built iuthe coun- It is very likely that Andrew Yeargan,scnt on the Yadkin circuit, 1780, was the first regular pastor of all that set lion, known as the'-Forks of the Yadkin," and laid the foundation of the churches already men tioned. At this period the country was sparse ly settled, the people, rude and almost wild as the native deer. At Beale's church, tra dition says the preacher growing warm during his sermon, walked down into the congregation aud la;d his hand upon the head of an old man, saying, "My friend, don't you want to go to heaven?" To which the frightened man replied: "Man, for God's sake, g off and let me alone; I. don't live about Irere, I came 'front away up in the mountains." At the. same i h;i:ch, in 1795, a Quarterly meeting was iu.ti, ami to the question : "How much of fhe preacher's sal ary has been paid ? Charles Ledbettcr, the pastor, presented one pair of socks as the full amount up to that time, John Ceoper, Enoch Matson, George Kim ble, Henry Ogburn, Wir. Connor, Lemuel Green, BarnabasMcIIenry, followed Year gan, and did a good work in establishing Methodism in this section. After these came such men as Reuben Ellis and John Tunnel, men of gifts and piety. About this time, James Parks apjtears as a preacher and teacher. He had charge of the first Mctkodist school founded in this section, and known as "Cokesburg School." It 'was located on the Yadkin river near Phelp's Ferry. This school after a short period was discontinued, and the house' used for a church. Parks moved to Jones ville and es tablished a school there. He had lour sans who became ministers, one of whot Mar- tin P. Parks, became 05?e of the most bril liant pulpit orators ot his nay. - j f In 1809, Yadkin circuit numbered 479 members, and Salisbury circuit 494973 in the two. The year of 1799 ifsmeos for the introduction and prevalence of Carapmeet inga They began in the west trader the united labors of the McGee brothers one a Methodist the other a Fjresbytcriaa minister. At this date, these manimoth meetings were union meetings of the Methodists and Pres byterians. Drs. James! Hall and L. F. Wil son often labored inthenir The first Camp meetings ht Id in Davjie! were in 1803, at Olive Branch Church, and at Walnut Grove on Dutchman's Creek: At these meetings great revivals broke iit and swept over tlie country as fire in dry stubble. The result was the membership yf! the church grew rapidly, and new church edifices sprang up all over the Yadkin Valley. School houses and a higher grade of civilization followed in the Wake of the enlightening Gospel. In 1807, Iredell circuit embracing Iredell Co., was set off from the Yadkin and Salisbury circuits, into a new piistjorial charge. Ai the Gospel spread, othir circuits werelomij ed. In 1831-1853, Stokes, IandoIph,David-i: son and Wilkes circuits were formed. lit 1834, Salisbury and Lexington constituted a pasteral charge. ThaeV.McDonald being pastor. In 1830, Salisbury was made a sta tion, R. O. Burton, being pastor. In 1830, Mocksville Circuit is madein 1843, Jones ville circuit was set off-tin 1848, Taylors, ville was set off, antj in 1850, Forsyth. Tlie formation of these; pastoral charges in dicates the growth of 'Methodism, in the val ley of the Yadkin. Just one hundred years ago, 3ietbodism entered tins section and be- gun its work of evarwgehzation with the capital in hand of 21 cqmtnnuieantsand one preacher. Out of this mustard seed so small in beginning has grown a Gospel tree, whose n uiiuM nranencs pprcnijt over s large scop; of country. j THE KEsblTS, Salisbury Station,Salia1ury circuit, Moorcs vill circnit, Mocksville land Davie circuit?, lreoell, Alexander.

JAS. VILjSOX, Born in Davie, entered Conference in 1871, is now iu charge of the Mt. Airy Academy. After this brief and ini pet feet sketch, the writer desires to append n few remarks. First, the late Peter Doub, D.-D., did more than any other mir tcr to instill the peculiar doctrines of Methodism into the minds of the people living! in Rowan and Davie counfy. He preached all over this country tor many years I o ; vast assemblies attending the Campmeet ings and Quarterly meetings. Rev. John Tillctt did more than any oth er man in putting down intern iterance and distilleries i.i Davie county. Rev. Baxter Clegg was the most useful and successful teacher. Out of his Academy, located at Mocksvil'e, came many useful ministers, lawyers, physicians, and citizens. Method ism, both in Rowau and Davie is also much indebted to such ministers as: Revs. J. W. Childs, Abram Penn, James Rcid. Joseph Goodman, S. D. Bunipass, William Barring er, N. F. Rcid, D. D. all gone to their heav- enly reward, and a host ot ethers whose to mention. names wc have not space The Methodist Chuucii of S.iLisuuwr. The Rev. J. J. Renn, Salisbury 31. E. Church writes, concerning its history as follows : The Itev. Peter Doub, IVD., was presid ing elder in this District 1 825-29. Durim; these during the years, four years 2,738 souls Were converted at 'meetings which he 1 2 held iri person, and more than 7000 iu the bounds ot the district. About that time ministers from loth the irginia and South Carolina Conferences preached occasionally at the Court houw in Sulisbury.among whom were, Moorfnan, Travis, Tjate, Stork, Martin (who issti'j living in Snrjth Carolina,) and others. Thi9 with the dwp revival influ ence then working, resulted in the building ot a Methodiat church in It he town of Salis bury The firiit MeihodU Clitirt h in Salisbury was yrganixed iu Koveuilicr ISol, with thir-1 5frtm,.fonr of Wnom wrrtfll living (1880), TW :i Miss Adelaide Claryf (now lln.

Palmer, Mrs. 3bry Hardy, Miss Margaret Shaver. Mrs.' Sister, Mrs. Samuel Frale v. Alexander Biles Mrs. Eunice Cowan, and Miss barah Bailey.1 Tlib Church was in the Virginia Conference-Charles P. Moorman was the first preacher m charge.
