That's great...and so efficient !! A URL that you might want to link to is the Cumberland Presbyterian website at < http://www.cumberland.org/hfcpc/schools/CumbC.htm > One of my 3rd greatgrandfathers (Rev Carson Pate Reed) was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister. The Cumberland Presbyterian system was the first attempt by the Presbyterian Church to produce ministers in the Colonies. Prior to this, all Presbyterian ministers had to have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree from one of Scotland's Ancient Universities (they had 4, when England only had 2) This was one of the reasons the Scotch-Irish in general and the Presbyterians in particular had the highest literacy rate in the world at that time. This would come in handy during the American Revolution. But....to return to the topic at hand, the Presbyterians were losing out in the race to convert souls because the Baptists and others did not have stringent educational requirements for their preachers and were cranking them out at a very fast clip. Hence, many traditional Presbyterians were converting to Methodism or becoming Baptists because something was better than nothing one would suppose. I have another 3rd great grandfather who was a preacher with the Fishing Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Surry/Wilkes Co NC. Jeff Weaver has some great info on his New River site related to this church that even mentions him (Rev S.P.Smith). I'm sure Jeff would be happy for you to link to his site...he's a nice guy and has some great material for those who haven't been there. The URL is < http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nrv.htm > Be sure and scroll all the way down ...the New River Notes home page is a very long page and you'll miss all kinds of goodies if you don't.
