Dr Freeman remained here until
1821. five years, when he went to
Raleigh. Beore leaving he laid
the earner stone for the church
which stood until 1S91 and then
gave way to the present haud-
soine edifice. In 1827 Rev. Jesse
Rankin, of Guilford, assumed the
pastorate and remained foaryears.
From 1831 to 1833 Rev. Thomas
Espy served the church and dying
