my name ; have always been thankful that my lot has been
cast in this country that ; my forefathers emigrated to America,
and that they settled in this beautiful country between
the Yadkin and Catawba rivers, where we have good land,
fine water, a healthy and delightful climate, peaceable and
quiet citizens ; where we can worship God according to the

us afraid."
