This was found under information about the Methodist Conference of 1815 in Mississippi. The Conference had lost half of its force since the previous session at Rev. John Fords. Richmond Nolley died. Jonathan Kemp, Roswell Valentine and Gabriel Pickering had been discontinued. Thomas A. King and Elisha Lott went to Tennessee and took work there after their ordination. John S. Ford and Thomas A. King never returned to the Mississippi Conference, but Thomas Griffin and Elisha Lott returned at the end of one year. Hope this is helpful
