BT JOnX g. HESDEKS03J, ESQ. Orernor-Tr?onnjeinjr in Salisbury, on the 20th day of May, 1767, went into the office of John Froiiock, Clerk of the County Court and Register, uand examined all the llegis try books, and fully approved of the method they were kept In, Cols. Palmer and Wad dell were in company , with the Governor. Cel. Palmer. foimdJjlng in one of tlie books a copy of a callta the Rev. (Richard) Sankey, read it to the Governor,' and at his Excel lency's request, took it with him to take a copy thereof." Sec Register's book 6. p. 397. The Clerk's office was then kept in the bouse of Mr. William Steele. I think, that this call may have been made by a vestry of St. Lu ke's - Parish. . Elections for vestrymen were held every three years. And I suppose the polls were usually opened at the proper times. It is probable, therefore. that elec tions were held on Easter Monday, in the years, 1758, 1701, 1704, 17C7 and 1770. Mr. Sankey, seems to have been in Rowan as early as the year 1758 for on the 5th - day of September, 1758, h married John Braley to Sarah Carruth, ef Rowan coanty, (Regis ter's Ixwk. 7. p. 302). . He is said to have been a Virginian and a Presbyterian. LBut I think it probable, that he had received Episcopal ordination. I cen find out noth ing satisfactory about him. He must have returned te Virginia before the date of Gov. Tryoiv's visit. In those days the feeling was well-nigh unanimous, that the Christian religion must be established and maintained as the Law of the State. Nothing proves this more plainly than the "instructions" given to the delegates from Mecklenburg county in 1775: "13. You are instructed to assent and con sent to the establishment of the Christian religion as contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, and more briefly comprised iu the 39 articles of the Church of England, excluding the 87th ar ticle, together with all the articles except- ed and not to be imposed on dissenters Dy the act of toleration, and clearly held forth in the Confession of faith compiled by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, to be the Religion of the state, to tlie utter ex clusion forever of oil and every other (false ly so-called) Religion, whether Pagan or Papal, and that the lull, tree and peaceable enjoyment thereof lie secured to all and every constituent member of the State as their in alienable ri;ht as freemen, without the im position of rites and ceremonies, whether claiming civil or ecclesiastic power for their source, and that a confession and profession of the Religion so established shall be necessary in qualifying any person for pub lic trust in the State. If this should not be confirmed protest and remonstrate." "14. lou are instructed to oppose to the utmost ,any particular church or set of clergy men being invested with power to decree rites and ceremonies, and to decide in con troversies of faith to be submitted to under tho influence of penal laws yqu arc also to oppose the establishment ot any mode of worship to be supported to the opposition ot the rights of const ience, together with the lestruction of private property, ion arc moreover to oppose tlie establishing an ec clesiastic supremacy in the sovereign author ity of the State. Yon are toopjtoxe the tvlertt tion of (lie Pnitinh iilobttrouH trorsMu. If this should n. -it be confirmed protest and re monstrate." It is somewhat remarkable that the North Carolina patriots of 1770 never protested j against any evils growing out of the exist ing Religious Establishment, this is con clusive proof, that they did not consider an Established Church an evil at all; and that theccclcsiastical laws then on the statute books must " have been very uiilaly and rarely enforced. All persons holding office in the Province of North Carolina leforc the Revolution were required, in addition to the usual oath of office, to take certain oaths appointed by ct ot Parliament, for the qualification of public officers, and to repeat and subscribe 'the Test." The latter oath made the re nunciation of the doctrine of transubstantia- tion a necessary qualification for office. This declaration seems to have been repeated and subscrilcd every time the Court met. I find tho following entry on one ot the old Supe rior Court dockets : 'North Carolina, ) I, A. R. do de- "Salisbury, towit." clare, that I do believe in my conscienee,that there is not any 1 ran- "stibstantiation in the Sacrament of the "Lord's Supper, or in the Elements of Bread "and inc, at or atterthe consecration niere- of, by any person whatsoever, &e.

Among the names of the old ante-revoln tionary "Churchmen" was Alexander Martin, who lived in Salisbury until Guilford county was erectedj He had a brother who was a clersryman of the Church of Ensland and I lived in Virginia. The former was quite a disiinguisncu man. lie was a prominent lawyer by profession, and was freouentlv . . ! . commissioner uy me crown to hold the Dis trict Court at Salisbury. He presided over the court, winch was held on the first day of June. 1775, dnrinsr the sitting of which Ctopt Jack passed through on his Way to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, with the Mecklenburg "Resolves" of the 3tst of May. He was a Colonel in the Continental army, and fought under T.a F-ivette at the Bittlc. of Brandy wine. He whs elected or- ernor of the State in 1782, and asrain in 1789 He was also Governor in 1781, during'lh.c enforced alisenee of Governor Burke. who had been captured by the Tory Colonel Fannen, of Chatham. " He never married. The last office he held was that of United States Senator, to which he was elected in 1799. He died in 1807. The Revolutionary war dispersed nearly all the Episcopal congregations in the St. -de. The majority of the clergy leinjr English men by birth and sympathy, and being de prived of all means of support, returned to the land of their nativity. "Still there were some four or five ministers who remained I B J l ter the ordinances of the Chnrch and con,0- tion to all who applied for them at their 1. hands TJjesp wcre the Rev. Messrs.

Mr. Miller, published,, by JUv. Pn Hawks, dated, AprU 15, 1830). I think it doubtful, whether any of thees clergymen ever extended their ministrations further west than the county of Orange, where Mr. Micklejobn resided. . For many years after the war of the Revolution the children .and friends of Episcopacy, few in numbers and feeble in influence, lived, in a state of religious destitution and in a condi tion of despondency bordering on despair. It was not until the year, 1790, that an effort was made torcvire their drooping spirits. A con rent ion met in Tarborpugh,organized a "standing! committee" and elected delegates to the General Conrentioni Shortly there after the Rer. Dr. Hailing of Newbern, ob tained the necessary credentials, and was enlained by Bishop 3Iadisdnjof Virginia. A second convention was held in Tarborough in the year, 1793. And a third was held in the same town on the last Wednesday in Mar, 1794 when and where the Rer. Cbas. Pettigrew was elected Bishop of tlie Diocese of North Carolina. For some reason satis factory to himself the Ret. Mr. Pettigrew never made application for consecration f it is a melancholy reflection,! "says the. Rer. Mr. Miller, "for me to be; obliged to say. that no beneficial effects resulted from all these efforts to revive the spirit and cause of Episcopaey in the State of North Carolina. Yet such was the fact. They' were by no means commensurate with the' wishes and hopes of Its real -friends; . for the prospect rather became more dense '"in ..gloom. Un--der the pressure of manyi 0iu (tticatd diffi culties, our wonder will ease, that the ef forts of the few remaining frjends of-the Episcopal Church in this State had so lit tle effect, and that a declination, instead of a revival took place. The clergy were not only discouraged and dispirited, but were obliged in most cases to turn their attention to other objects in order to procure the necessaries of life. Twenty-three years the stream of time rolled along, and no star ap peared in any quarter of pur liorizon to cheer the gloom that had1 enveloped our hopes and our spirits. From 1704 to 1817, all was dark and dreary, yet the great Re deemer had not forgot His ghudous promise. It was then that the Jay-star from on high visited us in mercy ; when two Heaven-sent heralds of the everlasting Gospel came to Wilmington and Fayette ville, and there laid the foundation of the restoration of the Episcopal Church und cause in North Caro lina." The "heralds" referred to were the Rev. Messrs. Adam Em pie and Bethel Judd. I cannot better describe the growth and progress of Episcopacy in Rowan county than by giving brief biographical sketches of the ministers who have officiated within its bounds. I will first begin with the name of ItOKSRT JOIIXSTOXE MIM.KR. He was a Scotchman by birth, and was born and brought up, until his fifteenth year, in the Episcopal Church of Scotland, under the ministry of the venerablo Bishop Rail, who was upwards of eighty years old, when young Miller left Scotland arid came to America. At what time he came to this country, I do not know;, probably a short time before the Revolutionary war. He re sided in Virginia for some years, and about the year 1784, connected himself with the Methodists, who, Mr. Miller says, at that time professed to be mcmliers of the Epis copal Church. In the same year lie j"rod'e with Dr. Coke to a conference in Franklin county, in this State." Dr. Coke was an or dained priest of the Church of England who had previously In-cn ordained a Bishop by Wesley. Mr. Miller says, that although dis satisfied with the Methodist- sstcm he timself being thoroughly persuaded Of the truth of the Apostolic Succession he never theless continue! with them through the year 173-7, in the Tar River circuit, where in some measure he lost his health: for the recovery of which he came up into the west ern part of the State. lie says that during his continuance with the Methodists, they always treated him with respect, and when he withdrew himself from nv connection with them, in 178fi, "they publicly declared that thc.v had no charge against him whatr ever, and that it was his own voluntary act, in consequence ot his disapprobation of their system and rules." About this time the people of the congregation of Whiteha ven, comprehending Whitehaven and the lower and upper Smyrna in Lincoln county, ipplied to him to take charge of them as a congregation, in the capacity of a lav-reader merely. I he people of his congregation were chiefly emigrants from Pennsylvania and Virginia. They were a mixed people, Ger man, English, Irish and some Scots original ly but at that time very destitute of anv regular religious instruction. ' The most of them and their fathers were ami had leCn members of the Episcopil Church. Mr. Mil Icr agreed to liccome their public reader, to catechise their childicir anl to bury their dead. Both he, and the con-'reirati -n inn tully rcsohed and agreed to adhere to the Episcopal Church, to which they were alike bound by the strong ties of hereditary pre possessi on ,and of love and affection,strengtli ened by conviction. A congregation was organized Church wardens and a vestry were, chosen, and an aoi of incorMration ob tained from the General Assembly. Prayer- books were scarce, rhe congregation had a few English ones, and he procured two of the hrst edition from. Philadelphia. He also had printed in Salisbury a catechism, to which, he added an explanation of the two covenants, and the-r easts of the Christian Church, together with some religious terms not generally understood. The most of the congregation were under the necessity o receiving the sacraments from the hands of a Lutheran minister who lived in the vicin tv. With him. ,Mr. MiIIct. tormeU an inti mate acquaintance, and with hiuiuinisturia brethren also who lived in the,. adjacent counties of Rowan, Guilford and .Rajtdolph. Mr. Miller gays they pressed him, with the plea of necessity to accept ordination from their hands, mentioning that the Uev J)r. Pilmour hud done so during tlie time of the "Revolutionary war. A number of Prcsby terian clergy with whom he was intimate. recommended the same course; and his con gregation earnestly requested him 4o accept such ordination, assuring him that they would lw perfectly satisfied with his minis tration. He consented to receive ordina tion from them, not as a Lutheran minister but as an Episcopalian. In the letters o orders which thev gave him,t hey bound him to be subject to the discipline and rules of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the tinted States. In adminitering the ordi nances ami offices of the Prayer-Umk, Mr. .Miller savs he paid as Ktin t attention to the Rubrics as circumstances and situation would admit. In the year 1803, at the request of the con gregation, and of the Lutheran ministry and their congregations and after several consul tations held for the purpose, a; convention met in Salisbury, and formed an union and a Constitution, which adopted the leading features of the General Constitution of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Unitct States. Under this Constitution; which was drawn up by Mr Miller as aforesaid, he con tinned in union with the Lutherans until the year 1818. He savs "our success in in- I troducing order and regularity throughout i our charts, and in extendinsr their bounda ries, was far beyond anv exportation enter- jtaiued by uaat the :omtnenceinent.M In fhe ' v-ar 1794, Mr. MiUer w: invit. d bv the - 4 .Episcopal clergy of the State, to altcud the fjeatfen vfaicfa assembled atTarberoog J lu year -ami was 19 furnished with a certificate, that be bad been elected a! member of the standing committee of the uiwrac air. aimer attended te cmim. tion, and took with him a member of the!

T.nk'o Church, Salisbury, arose in some measure at lMt fnm Ulr XT t1 . . ... for more than thirty years, before either Parish was received into regular union with the Diocese. Mr. Miller sars, Christ Church was organized as a congregation during bis mm me aiiucraa ojnoa ; ana St Luke's Salisbury, by i our lamented and venerated Father in God, Bishop Ravens croft. Moudsy, f3ept 8,1823. Miss Chrissie Beard now in her 82nd year one of the most "highly respected ladies of Salisbury, says, Mr. Miller also preached at a Log church about five miles above town, on the old Wilkesboro road. This church was built for Mr. Miller by Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly, John Howard and other neighbors; and Episcopal services were frequently held there. The same lady also says that she re members perfectly well that her uncle Lewis Beard when she was a child went to Charleston, and brought back with him a number of catechisms, which were eagerly sought, ftr and highly prixed by all the Episcopal families, whe studied them atten tively themselves and; made their children learn them. The introduction of these cate chisms must hare been sometime about the year 1800. In 1818 the long declining and almost obliterated cause of Episcopacy be gan to rerire in this State, fn that year," savs the Rer. Mr. Miller, "the beloved and Rev. Adam Empie, who was then the Rec tor of St. Jame' Church, Wilmington, and one of the honored and principal instru ments under God, of that blessed, and I mar say glorious work, entered into a correspon dence with me touching my standing in the tiiuren, auu vue eiuie 01 religion in mis sec tion ot the country. To him I stated my situation, and that of tlie people then under my care and their and my connection with the Lutherans. This union was from first to ast our own individual act. And at the time when I was ordained by them, I had express ly reserved my right and liberty, with those under my care, to return and unite in full un- ionand withoutjany impediment, with the Episcopal Church whenever it should please liod to revive her in this State." The re sult was that he attended the fifth annual Convention of the Diocese held in Raleigh, April 28th, 1821. It was the third Conven tion over which Bishop Richard Channing Moore, of Virginia, had presided. Mr. Mil ler, I at this convention, was ordained by Bishop Moore, a Deacon and Priest the first in the morning and the second in the evening of the eame day, to-wit; May, 2, 182 1. It is reported that when Bishop Moore read Mr. Miller s certificate of ordioation, he lid to him, "mom tewng to ." This anec- lote is told as if Mr. Miller for the first time then, conceived it his duty to obtain Episco pal ordination. But it is plain from what las been said, that he had never faltered in lis purpose to obtain Holy Orders from the Church of his fathers, whenever a favorable opportunity presented itself. He had never eased to consider himself a memler of that Church. I have not access to the earliest mrnals of the Diocese, but I have no doubt Mr. Miller became a condidatc for Orders shortly after the correspondence with the tev. Mr. Empie liegan. 1 he Rtv. Mr. Miller, even after he hail re solved to obtain Episcopal ordination still continued to administer the sacraments, and o preach to the congregations under his care.; There is an old record of Christ Church in the hand writinir of Mr. Miller from which several of the first leaves are missing. From this it appears that Mr. Miller was in the habit of administering the Holy Rite of confirmation to all who would receive it at lis hands.
