     "On a bright Sunday morning, April, 1776, the sound of horn called the little settlement of Harrodstown together. The whole population of Kentucky did not amount to one hundred, and as yet but ten women had ventured into the wilderness. Beneath a wide expanding elm tree little groups were collected. Dressed in their hunting shirts, leggins and moccasins they were seated or stretched upon the grass, silently watching the movements of two strangers who sat near the tree. Soon arose the younger of the two. He lifted his voice in earnest prayer, and then reading from the book of God, 'Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his,' proclaimed the glorious gospel of the blessed God. When he closed the other took up the theme." - (Samuel H. Ford)
