LAL PAGE 6 / i ye 7 , ¢ ér | Journal Of Francis Asbury, Pione y HOMER KEEVER journal of Francis As- bury, Methodist pioneer bish- op, tells of two trips through Iredell County—the first one in mid-March of 1797 and the sec- | ond one more than two yeafs later, in mid-October of 1799. There are vague traditions of , others. Before then there are gaps in his journal @hen he was close enough by ifor him to have pas- sed through the county. He ‘could have been here, but there ‘is no other evidence that. there were any congregations of Meth- , Odists anywhere in Iredell ter those tWo pre-1800 - trips. even when there are traditions of his being here, his journal - Jeaves little time for even a hurried trip into- this county. In fact, after 1800 he tended more and more to cross the State further to the east -and further to the west, leaving the 'a@entral part of North Carolina pretty well alone Even by the time he came to Iredell, definite’ conferenc e bounds had been set and most of North Carolina was divided Ad- { between the Virginia and South Carolina Conferences, with part of the territory. . across the: mountains in the Western Con- ference. of the Virginia Confereneée, while the territory. to the south and west lay in the South Car- olina Conference; and Francis Asbury. usually made hig@way closer td. the cefiter of the con- ferences Two Asburys There *is. little: questien that % bury”. was in. the Sno Ww section during the revi- val Camp Meetings of i302 as regularly appointed” circuit rid er and that he was likely here much Tore Often: but that was Ree te He. was -one ‘of * tter circuit riders, with the same: siiffiame’ as the bish- op, but with- nothing ejse in common jvith the bishop except a devotion to. circuit riding. .

His approac: had been from ‘| Beall’s Chapel, somewhere. .on Yutchman Cre+k, Where.-he had preached in the morning. “We dined and hasied on eight miles -to Prather’s in Iredell County. Di- rectly after crossing Hunting | Creek a little circumstance took place swhich, if it had happened in the creek m.ght have been at- tended with ‘come disagreeable circumstances; it was caused by one of the hooks of -the single tree giving way’ The next day the Bishop went “up the ridges between Rocky and Hunting Creek, eight miles, to John Templeton’s, ‘over a path no sulky ever sent before.” The Prathers were ~ Maryland people and while the name seems not. to survive in Iredell, descend- ants of Alvin Hiowardand L.

The last I heard vind. him he was preparing to go.on a trip to Nashville to lobby for higher: | pay for.teachers of the Knoxville schools and was taking a young man to. help him. He also wrote that his motner was first cousin to ‘the mother of the Governor of Florida, no, he almost became the governor, Mr..Hobert High, He was from Flat Creek and attended a big homecoming there near Cousin Wright's home, last summer, and three of Tennessee's former gover- nors also were at the meeting. The site was across the fence from ee Cousin Wright had done some of his first plowing. Cousin Wright had be asked to be the speaker at the Rosebank Cemetery Decoration Day near His boyhood home. His subject: "The Cemeteries Where My- Ancestors Are Buried", beginning with the old Frost. Burying’ Ground, One of his co-workers on the Petty data, Mr. T. R. Howard, was due to attend WE school in Winston- Salem in April. The data on Petty family was sent to a member of the family in Texas to be ineluded in a book on that family.’ Quite a few Woodwards are aptist. Mother and her brother, Joni ‘Prost Woodward, were Meth » but I believe their sister Vera Josephine who married Thomas Bailey was a Presbyterian, All of the second family that I know are Baptist, several,as you know, being Baptist ministers. By. the way, Frank Woodward-was married Saturday before Easter for the | second time. His first wife was killed in auto wreck shortly after. they retired from missionary work, There are quite a number of Woodwards in South Carolina, but so far as I know no connection with our line. I. had quite « bit of correspondence with a Mr. Wiley Woodward whose grand- father's brother John settled in North Carolina, presumably this was one of the ancestors of these in eastern North Carolina. There are two or more branches in Georgia, one belongs to our line, and where the otters came from I do not know. In 1960 the Mayor of. the city of Atlanta. was a Mr. Woodward but not of. our line.; _ I presume the deed for 306 acres by J. H. Woodward was land of dng country home he owned.

C Jane “8, 1951. } 78 ‘a Dear Mr. Swann: This is goihg to be long, but I hope not’ wholly uninterest- ing. First, here is the.line fence enisode and the nares in ite I can't figure out the signer, but she was A nice iladv. “Cousin tien- derson" would be Forsythe, and if my memory serves me he married an Archibald. When you have finisnef. with it and do not wish to keep . it, maybe Mary Ward Swann would. like it es it is written tol her "grep t- grandmother. : f The rest of the stuff. is land records, and I ar concerned about what you will do. tm with. them when you have seen, them.as much as you care to, for they do clutter unr records. It occurred to me, and I raised the question with Paul Lazenby, that sin:e we pre not using our money for anything else we might invest in e filing case ch would take care of-materials pertaining to the neiphbornood. in. the early days I.have » poem, printed in the Attantic Monthly, by a descendant of Charles baggerly. Tuen I have card index.of families which would rit in. You will heve things, too, “Wy perneps we might get together.a collection of such material thet would be of. interest to such persons as Mr. Andrews and Mrs. Davenport wi ap- | pear on the scene now and: then, and will perhaps increesingly do so in the yearsito come. It would be nice to have something to show them. So hold to them for awhile, Maybe something will develop. Note the witness on the final deed to Joshup Lazenby is Thomas Lazenby. By a mistake in copying I suppose the recorded deed in Statesville is witnessed by Jomes Lazenby. I had puzzled over tart as I knew. oy no James Lazenby in N. C. at. that era, . So much for that. In the Archives the other day I accidentally found something that ‘interested me a lot, that I have trenscribted on cards enclosed. I had finished. looking throurh Adams Co. for the Bells and Gays and James Lazenbys, and a little tim® remained. Alex- ander County was bound in the same book and as I turned the leaves _ I became absorbed. There must have been eight or ten families of Elams from N. C. and a good many Alexanders. I wondered if there was any sighificance in the name of the county, end if the elusive Charles who signed the Mecklenburg Declaration had gone there... Then I turned to the next county, and found the Swann farily, Bond County. To return Ai eens Co. I saw once in my life the neiphbor’. thet "Life “Ni feather calle ife chols, e portly man’with a florid face end wh j hair. I must have been very young. He lived abont where; Cant, Jacob Nichols lived, Note that Cynthie Robinson tells Carsoh kell that she thinks he and John.c. Nichols can't beat their corn in their bottom lands. .
