A Brief Sketch of the History of
Universal Ism In N. Carolina
Wbittemore'g "Modern History of
Universallsm" a book published in
Boston, Massachusetts, in 1830, re
cords the fact that Universallsm
was preached in North Carolina as
early as 1780. The preachers of
that period were John Stanstel, of
Johnston County; a man by the
name of Tatum, from lower down
in the state; D. Martin ,in Fairfield
District, adjoining Newbury; Giles
Chapman, of the same region, and
Elijah Lynch. These men seem to
.have been Dunkers, sometimes call
ed German Baptists .who had
thought their way out of the or
thodoxy of the time, Lynch bring
ing his congregation with him in
to the church of te new Faith
In about 1823, a man by the name
of Cole preached in the state for a
brief time. In 1825, Abner Knee
land, of Philadelphia visited Wilm
ington and preached there two
months in a Baptist meeting house.
On Mis home trip he passed through
the bounties of Duplin, Hanover,
and Wayne, preaching in each one
of them.
The Universalists of Wilmington
wishing to have a pastor, wrote
to Boston for one, and the Rev.
Jacob Frieze, of Rhode Island, war
A Unlversa,igt paper
was started, known as the Libera-

Mr. McRae. Mr. Frieze was follow
