G,.st chIdwjcks came to America ana
vhar, they located is as yet unsettled
omr interest TODAY IS mainly connected
with Jar,rs who WAS the founder of the
E,nr.l . rhaawicks and was born in
r,1m,,,h Miss July ;. 172l. He
married Ruth Hatch also a native. Of
| tr,Iu,o,tI, in I74X. This couple were of
rugged but noble characters as is at
tested bv the fact that they had their
| children baptis,d into the faith that
they had early embraced, that of Con-
| greg tlOn1llStS.
The religious character Of this
| worthy couple WAS thoroughly wrought
| INTO the natures of their children and
their chilt!rens children ana let US hope
that it is still burning in us of the
pr, sent day with undimmrd lustr".
James was man Of strcng and well
trained mind ana was honOred by his
| fellow citizens. being elected t.
positions of trust and responsibility.

/! moved to what is now known as the
| southern portion of China. then called
"Jones's PLI1tation. They built
Il rude log house planted an orchard ana

most incrctGble in those days of plenty.
