Brother PIPKIN was licensed to preach in South Carolina in 1804, and was ordained by Bishop ASBURY; his parchments he held untarnished and unspotted, as a local preacher in the Methodist Church, 6l years.
On a visit to some of my children, I went out into the country, in Nevada County, to Mount Vernon Church, where I met quite a number of the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of this good man and wife, whose remains lie in the graveyard at this church.
From his two sons and two daughters there I obtained the following statistics of his long line of descendants. There are now living of his family in that section of Arkansas, 77; in Texas as near as could be ascertained, 107; making 184 besides those, 35 have died, footing up in all, 219. In this estimate is included sons- in-law and daughters-in-law, who have married into the family. Brother PIPKIN's early labors in the ministry were spent in South Carolina, then in Georgia, where he lived and labored for 26 years - he then moved to Alabama, and spent 30 years and thence to this State, where he ended his labors, and ceased to work and live.
