Whatever objections, on account of his family, or otherwise might have induced him to reject Schenectady must Certainly operate in as high a degree against this place, as it is not only ore retired, but must in some degree depend upon myself, I am therefore at a Loss what to say in favor of that Gentleman's present Desire as well from the Circumstances Ihave mentioned, as from the Expectation I have of a Missionary for this place

1 Rev.DaviwGrirritn, D.D. went to England for orders in1770. On being ordained he returned to this country with an appointment as Missionary to Glocester, N.J. He relinquished this mission however, soon after, and moved into Virginia. in July 1776, he was appointed Chaplain and Surgeon to the 3d. Virg : Batalion: he being a person of '' uncommon merit." (Amer: Arch: 5th Ser. i. 1588.) After the peace, we find him pastor of the parish of Fairfax, Va. of which State he was elected Bishop in 1786, but he was never consecrated. Owing to his poverty and the deranged state of his'private affairs, he was unable to proceed to England for consecration. In 1789 he resigned the office, and on the 3d August of that year he died in Philadelphia, at the residence of the Bishop of Penn., having come to that city asa delegate to the Episcopal Convention. 'In hig feelings and conduct" (says Dr. Hawks,) '"'he was thoroughly American; he thought the Colonies wronged by the Mother Country, and throughout the struggle for Independence, he advocated their cause. Hehad deliberately cast in his lot with the great majority of his countrymen, and inthe alternations of storm and of sunshine, through which they passed in the achievement of their liberties, he was ever found true to his principles. When he died the church lost a useful and a.worthy man." Ep.
