South Carolina, to which State he returned after he helped build the "Cahaba Church." He afterwards came back to Alabama and settled in Cherokee County. "In 1855 he was brought out by the Democ- racy and elected to the State Senate, and at his first and only session was made President of that body."

The subscriptions to the "Cahaba Church" ranged from five dollars to three hundred dollars. The cost of the building was $3,300. It was dedicated the first Sunday in May, 1840. By a resolution of the Board of Trustees, the church was used by the Episcopalians on the first Sunday in each month, by the Cumberland Presbyterians on the second Sunday, by the Meth- odists on the third Sunday, by the Presbyterians on the fourth Sunday, and by other denominations that should make the first appointment on the fifth Sun- day.
In 1849 the Methodists built themselves a church and "swarmed later." The Episcopalians next built a church, and later still the Presbyterians erected their own house of worship. The Baptists then occupied the "Cahaba Church." This building still stands, but is not used, and is much decayed.
