Some of the most influential and distinguished names which have adorned the annals of Rowan County have been communicants or 0A273 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY 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. 338, 339 FORTY-NINTH REGIMENT COMPANY C Officers P. B. Chambers, Capt.; pr. to Major; resigned. Henry A.
