the untiring effords of that most excellent of women, his sister Jumina
Harvey, that he was brought to embrace the religion of Jesus (Bless God
for a good sister). He was baptized by that Isrealite indeed, the Rev.
Daniel Sheppard, them pastor of Mt. Olvitt, and shortly after called to
the deaconship of the church, in which capacity he served for several
years, after which he was ordained to the gospels ministry. A man of great
patience and extremely gentle in his manner."
