George Dibble and St. George Talbot, Esq. Of the latter gentleman, Mr. Dibble thus writes to the Society : " He is indefatigable in his endeavors to serve the interests of true religion and our holy Church, whose services I find universally acceptable, and his life agreeable to his public character. He was (continues Mr. Dibble) surprised both at the number and devout behaviour of the people at North Castle, for the church could not contain them," &c.b

The Methodist Episcopal church of this place was first incorporated in 1824. Caleb Kirby, James Fish, John B. Horton, Tyler Fountain and Benjamin Kirby, trustees."

The second church was enlarged in 1843, and the present church was erected in 1867.

During the war, this part of the country was greatly annoyed by the enemy, who frequently made sudden inroads, plundering and capturing the defenceless inhabitants. Religious services were consequently suspended ; and, for a long time, St. George's church was occupied as a guard-house and hospital by the Continental troops.
