The province of South-Carolina showed so earnest a desire of hav ing Ministers of the Church of Eng land, upon the first information they received of this corporation being erected, that the society resolved very early to send missionaries 'to this colony, that so good a disposition of the people might be assisted as soon as possible. Accordingly, in June 1702, the -'Reverend Mr. Samuel Thomas was sent thither. The society design ed he should have first attempted the conversion of the Yammassee Indians, but the governor, Sir Nathaniel John son, and several other gentlemen there, judging it not to be a proper season to enter upon this work, he did not engage in that mission; but after some small continuance in the governor's family, he was appointed by Sir Nathaniel Johnson, to cure of the people settled on the three branches of Cooper river, 15 miles dis tant from each other; but to make Goosecreek the chief place of his resi dence. Gooscreek was one of the largest and populous country towns, and settled by English families entire ly well affected to the Church of Eng land, and who formerly had for some time the Reverend Mr. Corbin for their .minister. The parish is 20 miles in length, and from 8 to 14 in breadth. Mr. Thomas discharged his ministerial office with very good success, he ac (quainted the society, that tho' his communicants at first were but 5, they soon increased to 32; that he had taken much pains also in instructing the Negroes, and learned 20 of them to read. But in October 1706, this worthy missionary died, (as several gentlemen of the country wrote word) .very much lamented for his sound doctrine, exemplary life, and indus try; after having laid a good founda tion for his successors, to carry on the work he had begun. The society appointed the Reverend Dr. Le Jeau to succeed himl. Upon his arrival in the country in 6706, lie ac quainted them, he had met with an extraordinary kind reception from his excellency the governor and the chief Justice, and had received many tokens of great civility and goodness from several worthy persons. The people were then very busle in providing till materials for fitting up the church and parsonage house, which they soon after conipleated. lie transmitted to the society an account of the state of his parish and other neighbouring settlements vrherein lie represented very earnestly, that it was the great eat pity imaginable, to see how many various opinions had been spread there, by a multitude of teachers and expounders of all sorts and perswa sions; and yet he could find very few, that understood Christianity, even as to the essential parts of It; yet the piarents and masters were endued with much good will, and a ready disposi tioni, to have their children and ser vants taught the Christian religion. He was not only very diligent in lis iproip or cure at Gooscreek, but also assist ed ini othier pilaces, whiere a milnister was wanting; the church at 'Charles Town being some time after -hisa ar rival vacant, lie used to preach once a nmnthi there, whlere at Irester lie had burt 2-1 commnnunnicants, the' there were about 500 persons of ago ini the place. He sometimes visited the French settlement in Orange Qurar'ter then entirely deostitute of a minister, andI adrmiriistered the sacraments amnong them. Tis settlement consist ed of about 32 families, out of which theore were 50 persons communicants. His own parish 'had about 100 families, makIng upi 1000 persons, 'murch the greater number of which were nmem ,bors of the- Churrch of England. lHe performied gi parts of lis ministerial duty with great diligence. ,The fir'st year of ,his mission, 'lie byuptized 21 children, the second 19, and thne num ber of communicants increased to 35. le instructed andi baptized many Ne groes arid Indlian slaves: and whiereas hie found several parents had neglect ed to have their children baptized, be0 cause they paid somei duties to the minister, lie acquainted theni 'lie desir ed nothinr, and .prevailed upon a con sidlerable number of them to bring their children for baptism; and by lis prrivate as well as publick discourses perswaded several persons of a grown ago, to attend him to be instructed in the essential doctrines of Christianity, in order for receiving 'baptism. H~e used frequently on week-days to cato chize the young people at his 'house, as finding nothing conducted more towards promoting the gospel, than this private inst~ruction of the youth. The Dooter was net only very labori ouis in Ihis function, but by Glod's bless lag very sucecessful, arid iiappy in gaining the affections of his people. Soon after 'lis being fixed among thiem, they maden a voluntary subscription of 260 a year Carolina -money for him. The church they first built became too small for the growing number of his parishioners, and they erected a beau tiful brick edifice. A parsonage house was built by some publick benefactions which happening to be some time af ter unfortunately destroyed by fire (all but the brick-work) the charita ble cbuntry bestowed a very consid orablo sum for its repair. Captain Schencingh, a worthy gentleman of the parish, gave 100 acres of good globe land to the church for ever. The Doctor, after this, acquainted the sol ciety, that his parishioners were much improved, and become of a very sober, civil, and edifying behaviour, and that he had a full and constant ap pearance at church; tho' there re mained some few atheistical persons and scoffers at all revelation. His congregation grew still more numer ous, the commupiicants increased, and in 1714, they arose to 70 English, and 8 Negroes. In the year 1717, Dr. Le Jeau died; very much lamented by his own parishioners, and regretted by every one, who knew 'how useful and Industrious he had been in promoting the gospel in those parts. In the year 1720, the society sent the Rev. Mr. Merry a missionary into Carolina, and the church of GooscreeK being then vacant, the parishioners requested him to come and reside among them, which he did for some time, but stayed not long, and returned again to Eng land. The society, upon the request of the inhabitants of Gooscrcek, soon after appointed another missionary, the Rev. Mr. Ludlam; he arrived there in the year 1724, and began .his mis sion with great diligence. There were in his parish a large' number of Ne groes, natives of the place, who under stood English well, lie took good pains to instruct several of these in the principles of the Christian ieligion and afterwards admitted them to baptism. He said if the masters of them would heartily concur to forward so good a work, all those who have been born in the country, might without much difl culty be instructed and received into the church. Mr. Ludlam continued his labours among the Negroes, and ev ery year taught and baptized several of them; in one year, eleven, besides some m'ilattoes. The English of hie parish were a very sober and well-be haved people, and duly attended di vine worship. Some few, who had been of looser principles, and negligent of the ordinances of the gospel, were persuaded to a (e conformity to the church, and several grown persons re ceived baptism. The people continued regularly to bring their children to baptism and devoutly frequented the sacrament. Mr. Ludlam persevered in a diligent discharge of all the duties of his function; but in October 1728, he died; and in testimony of his regard to the society's good designs, and his respect to the people of his parish, be queathed by his last will, all his es tate, real and personal, to the society in trust "for erecting ana maintaining a school for the instruction of poor children of that parish." Ills whole estate is computed to amount to about ?2000 Carolina money, after paymient of his debts.
