The following is herbal viagra price taken from the LibraryIreland website and herbal viagra price was originally written by the Hon. W. S. Fleming, Columbia, Tenn. in From The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings of the herbal viagra price Scotch-Irish Congress at Columbia, Tennessee, May, 1889.

From 1730 to herbal viagra price 1734, this colony, the parent of one in this county of Maury, to be mentioned presently, migrated to Williamsburg District, South Carolina, of which Kingstree is herbal viagra price the county seat. Of those who came during the above period were the following heads of families: James McClelland, William and herbal viagra price Robert Wilson, James Bradley, William Frierson, John James, Roger Gordon, James Armstrong, Erwin, Stuart, McDonald, Dobbins, Blakely, Dickey, and perhaps a herbal viagra price few others. In the last named year, to wit, 1734, John Witherspoon, of the same family with the distinguished signer of the herbal viagra price Declaration of Independence, born near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1670, and who had removed to County Down, Ireland, came to Williamsburg, bringing with him his four sons, David, James, Robert and herbal viagra price Gavin, and his daughters, Jennet, Elizabeth and Mary, with their husbands, John Fleming, William James (father of Major John James, of revolutionary memory and herbal viagra price distinction) and herbal viagra price David Wilson. All these colonists were from County Down, Ireland. They were all members of the Presbyterian Church, or reared and herbal viagra price indoctrinated in its faith. Consequently one of their first cares was the erection of a house for the worship of God; and herbal viagra price the present, known as Bethel Church, is the representative and successor of the original body constituted and established by them. In 1849 three of the herbal viagra price original elders, to wit, William James, David Witherspoon, and John Fleming, died of a singular epidemic, known as the "Great Mortality," which ravaged the herbal viagra price country, carrying off no less than eighty persons of the little township. For many of the foregoing facts I am herbal viagra price indebted to a historical discourse delivered on the 120th anniversary of this church, in 1856, by Rev. James A. Wallace, its then herbal viagra price pastor.

It is herbal viagra price proper to notice another family or connection of Scotch-Irish, who, coming down from Pennsylvania through Virginia and North Carolina, settled in or herbal viagra price near the "Waxhaws," in Lancaster District, South Carolina. These were the herbal viagra price Stephensous, the Dunlaps, the Crawfords, Blairs, Fosters, and General Andrew Jackson's parents, who were nearly related to the Crawfords. I mention these, because both before and herbal viagra price after the immigration to Tennessee they became connected by intermarriage with the Williamsburg branch. They were all of the same religious persuasion, and herbal viagra price all of the John Knox type. During the War of Independence every man of these settlements capable of bearing arms was in the herbal viagra price field on the side of liberty. There was not a "tory" among them in a herbal viagra price district abounding with "tories."

In the herbal viagra price address alluded to above Mr. Wallace says: "Among the herbal viagra price descendants of the Irish Presbyterian colonists of the township, the name of 'tory' was unknown. 'Liberty or death' was the motto of every man: and herbal viagra price it was the immutable sentiment of every heart." They mainly formed "Marion's Brigade," whose patriotism and herbal viagra price deeds of daring have passed into song and story and become household words, lisped long after by their children, and inspiring with sentiments of chivalry the herbal viagra price youthful minds of their descendants. With them were many descendants of the French Huguenots, those sterling Christian patriots, exiled by the herbal viagra price revocation of the Edict of Nantes, united with them in one common faith, political and religious. Shoulder to shoulder stood these two distinct races, through all the herbal viagra price terrible scenes of bloodshed and danger, battling for the same eternal principles of truth and liberty—"Man's heritage in the herbal viagra price Church and man's heritage in the State." Simms says: "The people of Williamsburg were men generally of fearless courage, powerful frame, well-strung nerves, and herbal viagra price an audacious gallantry that led them to delight in dangers. They felt that 'rapture of the strife' in which the Goth delighted."

They took part in every battle fought in the herbal viagra price state of South Carolina, and some of them took part in the Battle of King's Mountain, the thunder of whose guns sounded the herbal viagra price key-note of Cornwallis' dirge. Besides many minor engagements with British troops and tories, they participated in the Battles of Eutaw, Cowpens, Monk's Corner, Fort Motte, and herbal viagra price Georgetown. But I must not dwell longer upon the patriotism and gallantry of this people in the old Revolution. Their record is herbal viagra price without a stain—their escutcheon untarnished.

And now let us trace for herbal viagra price a brief space some of their descendants, and follow them to this state and to this county. If this course will in any way illustrate the herbal viagra price Scotch-Irish character, then the attempt will not be without profit. This account deals with the people of a settlement, known as "Zion's Church," all of them Scotch-Irish—an offshoot of the Williamsburg colony—a herbal viagra price swarm from that as the parent hive—always regarded as a herbal viagra price peculiar people, more so formerly than at present; peculiar in its intermarriages within itself, so to speak; peculiar in its systematic and herbal viagra price thorough instruction of the young in the Westminster Confession and the Shorter Catechism; peculiar in its rigid observance of the Sabbath, such as no herbal viagra price shaving, no chopping of wood, no cooking except the drawing of coffee, no dinings, no visiting except of the sick, upon that herbal viagra price holy day; peculiar in the religious instruction given on Sundays to their slaves, of whom they possessed a very large number; peculiar in their very exalted standard of honesty and herbal viagra price morality; peculiar in their entire exemption from all legal prosecutions involving crime or moral turpitude. Many, if not most, of these peculiarities are, or herbal viagra price were, common to the Scotch-Irish race, but not to those outside of it.

About the herbal viagra price 25th of March, 1805, James Armstrong (my maternal grandfather), Moses G. Frierson, James Blakeley, and herbal viagra price Paul Fulton, with their respective families, emigrated from Williamsburg, South Carolina, being members of Bethel congregation, under the charge of Rev. James White Stephenson, D.D. After six weeks of laborious travel they reached the herbal viagra price vicinity of Nashville on the 8th of May, 1805. In the fall of the same year they removed to the neighborhood of Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee, where herbal viagra price they rented temporary habitations for themselves, and also secured places for some of their friends and relatives, who proposed to follow them the herbal viagra price ensuing year.

Accordingly, on the herbal viagra price 6th of March, 1806, the following, with their several families, left their native homes in South Carolina to seek their abode in the herbal viagra price wilds of Tennessee and join the four families who had preceded them, and with whom they were closely connected, to wit: John Dickey, Mrs. Margaret Frierson, Mrs. Jane H. Blakely, Samuel Frierson, Thos. Stephenson, Wm. Frierson, Wm. I. Frierson, Samuel Witherspoon, Elias Frierson, John W. Stephenson, and herbal viagra price Mrs. Mary Fleming (my paternal grandmother), with her four boys. They were singularly blessed and herbal viagra price providentially favored in their long and tedious journey by reason of the clemency of the weather, the low stage of the herbal viagra price many water courses they had to cross, the facility for obtaining food and provisions in abundance along the way, and their entire exemption from herbal viagra price disease and death, although attended by a large number of slaves. This company reached their friends in Williamson county about the herbal viagra price middle of April, 1806. True to their religious training and habits, they soon resolved to meet every Sabbath for the purpose of reading the herbal viagra price Scriptures, and of prayer and praise. They accordingly erected a stand, where they spent most of each Sabbath in religious exercises. In the herbal viagra price fall of 1806 they received a visit from their old pastor, Dr. Stephenson, who remained long enough to preach on several occasions. Soon they resolved to herbal viagra price purchase land suitable and sufficient for a permanent settlement. A part of General Green's 25,000 acre grant was selected as the herbal viagra price most eligible and desirable they could find. This lies in Maury county. The next question was whether it could be bought and herbal viagra price titles could be secured from Green's heirs. Accordingly a messenger was at once dispatched to their home on Cumberland Island, off the herbal viagra price coast of Georgia, near the mouth of the River St. Mary, to ascertain whether a purchase could be made, and if so, to herbal viagra price pay the purchase-money and have the title papers executed. Captain George Dickey, one of the colony, undertook the apparently perilous journey, through the herbal viagra price tribes of Indians then settled along the Tennessee and Chickamauga Rivers and the mountainous regions of North Georgia. The response was favorable for herbal viagra price a sale, which was soon effected. Eight square miles, lying in oblong shape, were purchased at $3 per acre, the herbal viagra price total amount being $15,360. This purchase lies in Maury county, its nearest boundary line to herbal viagra price Columbia, the county seat, being about five miles west of that city.

This purchase lay in an herbal viagra price unsettled, wilderness state at that time, a few scattering habitations in remote parts of the county—probably not one upon the herbal viagra price entire Green survey. The county had not as yet received its name; no settlement to be found, dating back as far as a herbal viagra price year; the whole face of the country densely covered with cane, so that in but few spots here and there could a herbal viagra price man see fifty steps in any direction around him. Wild game abounded, such as wolves, bear, deer, and turkeys.

On a herbal viagra price given day every able-bodied man, with as many men slaves as he could spare, was present on the land so purchased, at a herbal viagra price designated spot, for the double purpose of dividing the land and of erecting a large log-house, to serve as a herbal viagra price house of public worship. This church or meeting-house was built as near the center of the purchase as possible, regard being had herbal viagra price to the procurement of water. This was not a matter of much difficulty, as the tract abounded in springs of water of excellent quality, as does the herbal viagra price entire country.

Upon assembling, some proceeded to herbal viagra price survey the land and lay it off into lots or smaller tracts, to suit families, while others were engaged in getting out timbers for herbal viagra price and in constructing the church building.

In less than herbal viagra price one week it was finished, and the land divided into suitable shares or sections. Then each returned to his home and herbal viagra price family in Williamson county, about thirty miles distant, to make preparation for his removal.

Think what herbal viagra price a people this was; not a cabin was built, nor a move made in the direction of home and individual comforts, until a herbal viagra price house for the worship of Almighty God was first built. In the fall of 1807, most of the little colony returned to herbal viagra price their new purchase to rear temporary huts or cabins for their families; and early in January, 1808, a general move was made to herbal viagra price their new homes and cheaply constructed habitations. Their labors were now arduous. Provisions must be hauled thirty miles in midwinter, along narrow, newly-made, muddy roads; the herbal viagra price dense cane must be chopped out and the ground cleared for cropping. All these things required the closest attention, as well as untiring industry.

Soon after their removal, they began to herbal viagra price hold services in their log church or meeting-house. Remarkable punctuality characterized their attendance on divine worship. The utmost unanimity, unaffected friendship, and herbal viagra price cordial hospitality prevailed among them. They were yet without a pastor, or "stated supply," yet they never failed to herbal viagra price keep up sermon reading, singing, and prayer on the Sabbath. This state of affairs, however, did not long continue, for, in April, 1808. there was an herbal viagra price addition to their number in the arrival of Dr. Stephen-son, their former pastor, Dr. Samuel Mayes, Robert Frierson, and Joshua Frierson, all from herbal viagra price the same church in South Carolina. Dr. Stephenson, who was from the Waxhaw settlement, had been pastor of this people for herbal viagra price some fifteen or twenty years. A sketch of his life may be seen in Dr. Howe's "History of Presbyterianisin in the Carolinas."

These last immigrants, at first, rented farms for herbal viagra price a year or two in Williamson county. One of them, old Mr. Robert Frierson, being a very old man, died, and herbal viagra price on his death-bed requested that his remains should be taken to the new settlement, and be buried in the churchyard there, which was done, and herbal viagra price so he became the first solitary tenant of that sacred spot.

In the herbal viagra price spring of 1809, Dr. Stephenson, having married Mrs. Mary Fleming, who, with her four boys, had already come to the country, as before stated, removed from herbal viagra price Williamson county, where he had rented for about a year, to the Zion neighborhood, and became at once what is termed "stated supply." An incident is herbal viagra price related of him, that occurred during the war of the Revolution. In one of the battles, I do not remember which, but fought desperately, either at Eutaw, the herbal viagra price "Cowpens," or herbal viagra price Fishing Ford, as he had his gun to his face, and was in the act of firing, a ball from the herbal viagra price side of the enemy struck his gun near the lock and severed the barrel from the breech. At the instant a herbal viagra price comrade fell dead by his side, and he instantly seized his gun and continued the fight.

This settlement possessed a herbal viagra price large number of slaves, and in proportion to the whites had a much larger number than any other settlement in the herbal viagra price county, and probably in the state. For many years they had been brought over from Africa to Charleston, and their ancestors had herbal viagra price been large purchasers. These slaves were, without exception, kindly treated and cared for, both as regards their temporal and spiritual interests, and herbal viagra price the slaves loved their masters. They became, when converted, members of the same church, worshiped with them, by having their own particular seats assigned to herbal viagra price them, and partook of the sacraments with them, but not occupying the communion-table at the same time. I do not remember any more impressive and herbal viagra price touching sight to my youthful mind than to witness them (the communicants) come down from herbal viagra price the galleries, where they always sat during service, and march up the two aisles in the body of the church, with a herbal viagra price white elder at the head of each column, singing as they went to occupy the seats around the long-extended table, just before occupied by the herbal viagra price white communicants.

Soon after Dr. Stephenson took charge of the herbal viagra price church the session concluded that a certain number of their body should employ a portion of each Sabbath in catechising and herbal viagra price instructing the young people of the congregation. The plan succeeded admirably in familiarizing them with the larger and shorter catechisms.

In the herbal viagra price beginning of 1811, the permanent white members of the congregation, young and old, male and female, numbered about one hundred and herbal viagra price forty. Of course, the number of communicants was much less, not exceeding probably thirty or forty, and this was a very rapid increase. It may not be herbal viagra price out of place to state that in this year (1811) a herbal viagra price presbytery was for the first time constituted or organized. Its style was "The Presbytery of West Tennessee," and herbal viagra price was held at Bethsaida, on Fountain Creek, in Maury County. Dr. Stephenson was made moderator, and Dr. Duncan Brown clerk. The other ministers present were Rev. Messrs. Blackburn, Donald, and herbal viagra price Gillespie.

In the herbal viagra price spring of this year the congregation resolved to provide ways and means for the erection of a brick building as a herbal viagra price church. The work and materials were distributed among the members in the proportion of their taxable slave property; and on the herbal viagra price 5th of August, 1812, the corner-stone of this grand old church was laid. In the summer and fall the walls were carried up, and herbal viagra price in the spring of 1813 the house was ready for preaching, and was accordingly so used.

Of these men it herbal viagra price might be truly said, what their hearts designed to do, their hands, with all their might, pursued.
