D.* It seems probable, from a single fact that has come to our knowledge, that he was dedicated in faith and prayer by his pious parents from his birth, to the holy ministry, since his mother, when he announced to her his matured purpose to preach the gospel, joyfully exclaimed, " I have prayed and hoped you would be a minister." ********************** Brother A. was twice married. His first wife was Miss Ann McAuslin, a foster-daughter of Dr. John Robinson, his early friend and instructor. They had a large family of sons and daughters — six of whom still survive, several having died. She was a lady of great worth — an excellent wife and mother. They were united in marriage the 7th of September, 1820. His second marriage was with Mrs. E. H Corbin, the relict of the Rev. Mr. Corbin, on the 17th of October, 1848, by whom he had one daughter. The widow and the daughter are both living. He was very happy in both his marriages. ************************ The Dead of the Synod of Georgia, Necrology; Or, Memorials of Deceased Ministers, who Have Died During the First Twenty Years After Its Organization ************************ https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=gktTAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&pg=GBS.PA76
