In this last Class of preachers, there are 317 who have been traveling in full connection: this<br />

number being added to the former numbers, make in all 988. Between 80 and 90 preachers from first<br />

to last have died in the traveling connection. I have set down the year in which each preacher died,<br />

although their death might not be published in the minutes till the following year: except in some<br />

cases where I could get no account of their death, only from the minutes of the conference. In that<br />

case I have entered them as I found them.<br />

A LIST OF<br />

METHODIST PREACHERS,<br />

WHO WERE ONLY PROBATIONERS.<br />

From the year 1773 to 1806.<br />

<strong>The</strong> following preachers were admitted upon trial, but stopped traveling in a short time, and<br />

therefore were not admitted into full connection. I have inserted all their names in the following list,<br />

except those of a few who never went to their circuits. I have intentionally omitted such as came<br />

under my own observation. Several who began to travel, stopped through weakness of body, and<br />

some through discouragement; and many on the account of family concerns. Some of them however<br />

are now useful local preachers, and an honour to the <strong>Methodists</strong>. I have entered at the end of some<br />

of their names, the time when they died; and have put a mark [these marks were changed to words]<br />

at the end of a few names to shew that the person left us, or was expelled.<br />

It has never been a practice among the <strong>Methodists</strong>, to publish any account in the minutes of the<br />

conferences, of those preachers who were only on trial; but in case they died, left us, or stopped<br />

traveling, their names have been omitted without further notice.
