The ministers in charge of this circuit in 1833 were Henry Hatfield and Denton Keeler. Iu the summer of 1836 a school-house was built 1 During a part of this time he preached the third Sunday of each month at Yorktown. He died in 1840, and was buried on his farm, which was afterward bought by John A. Miller and is now owned by Samuel Hoyt. His remains have been removed to Buxton Cemetery,
