• Notes

  According to the Bethany Centennial Addresses (1885), at the Tipton Record Office, Covington, Tennessee, as quoted in the Hall Family History: His preparatory course was at Bethel Academy, York District, South Carolina; went to college at seventeen years of age; graduated at Franklin College, Athens, Georgia, 1829, and was the first of the list of graduates of the Theological Seminary at Columbia, South Carolina, in 1833. He proposed to go with some of his class on a Foreign Mission, but the condition of his father's family would not permit it. He was licensed by the Bethel Presbytery in 1833, and ordained at Bethel Church by the same Presbytery in 1834 as an evangelist. He had charge of the Unity Church, Lincoln County, North Carolina; Bethel Church, situated in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, until 1837; Third Creek Church in Rowan County from 1837 to 1850, where he was much beloved; thence he went to Asheville in 1849, but returned to Third Creek in 1850; supplied Thyatira and Back Creek for a time; went to Yorkville, South Carolina, preached, and taught a female school until his death. He was baptized, prepared for college, licensed, ordained, and buried at Bethel Church, the church of his fathers, in York County, South Carolina. At the time of his death he was Moderator of the Synod of South Carolina. A brother minister who knew him well says of him: "He was one of the noblest Ministers I ever knew. His memory is precious."
