Description

Local Preacher, Rev. Adjet McGuire (1778-1857), writes to Finley, Presiding Elder of the Lebanon District, to withdraw his membership from the Methodist Episcopal Church. He wants to live in peace with all men, but finds there is no peace to be enjoyed in the Methodist Episcopal Church by anyone who dares to have an opinion of his own. [Note: McGuire was an itinerant in the Western Conference, locating in 1808 due to physical impairment. At the time of the withdrawal McGuire was serving as a Local Preacher, filling in on various circuits. Following this letter to Finley, he united with the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church.] Abstract Number - 65
