"He was a few years ago a travelling Methodist Minister, and is a man of sterling integrity and strong mind. He went to North Carolina from New England, a poor pedlar. While engaged in vending his wares he applied himself studiously to his books, and after having established an enviable character for sound morality and piety, he presented himself as a candidate for the ministry, and labored as a travelling preacher until the year 1828, when he removed to the west. He was soon called to the Bench in Mississippi, where he has distinguished himself as an able Judge, and he is about to be elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the State."
