}. was shattered by the violence of the wind anG
S many other windows were injured. The beau.
n tiful church-yard, too. suffered severely
r Trees century old were uprooted and many
n stones were broken. This church was used as
f stable for the British troops during the
S revolution and since then has been seriously
S damaged by war, hurricane and earthquake

S church in the State, and one of the few in the
r South. Mr.. Gray formerly lived here and has
: preached frequently in the Unitarian church
