because I do not want to over whelm you or wear out my welcome:

adherents of the Episcopal Church. I have already spoken of the
ante-Revolutionary period. Between that period and the year 1823, when Bishop
Ravencroft made his first visitation to Salisbury, the following may be confidently
claimed as friendly to Episcopacy, to wit: Maxwell Chambers, Matthew Tray,
Anthony and John Newnan, Thomas Frohock, Lewis Beard, Spruce Macay, Alfred
Macay, Matthew and Francis Locke, Joseph and Jesse A. Pearson, John L. and
Archibald Henderson, John Steele, William C. Love, and many others.
Since the year 1823, many of the most distinguished citizens of the State have
either been communicants of St. Luke’s Church or members of its congregation.
John W. Ellis was a member of the General Assembly, a Judge of the Superior
Court, and Governor of the State. Richmond M. Pearson became Chief Justice of
the State; and Nathaniel Boyden became a member of Congress and an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. James Martin, Jr., Romulus M. Saunders, and David
F. Caldwell were Judges of the Superior Courts. Mr. Saunders was also Attorney
General of the State, and Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain. John Beard, Jr.,
Thomas G. Polk, Charles F. Fisher, John A. Lillington, John B. Lord, A. H.
Caldwell, Stephen L. Ferrand, John L. Henderson, Richard H. Alexander, William
Chambers, H. C. Jones, have been members of the General Assembly, in one
House or the other; and many of them have occupied other important public
stations. Archibald Henderson was a member of the Council of
State under
Governors Reid and Ellis. I have not included in the above list any persons now
living. A large majority of the persons named were communicants.
