Boston or North Carolina, possibly
that the immortal Sergeant Jasper
either did not exist or that II ne
did he did not fight at Fort Sullivan
or if he fought at Fort Sullivan ne
did not at the risk of his life run
up the flag when it was shot away
by Sir Peter Parker's guns. There
was never any fact of history more
fully attested than the story about
Jasper's deathless deed and as fur
ther testimony upon the subject the
following inscription taken from a
marble shaft in the graveyard at old
Cedar Spring Church in Abbeville
County is submitted:
SACRED to the memory Of James
Devlin who died in 1925. He was a
Patriot of the Revolution and fought
under Col. Moultrie at Sullivan's Is
land at the defeat of Peter Parker
and saw Jasper replace the flag
amidst the thunder of British guns
He was among the first in the erec-
ton of the Cedar Spring Church,
where his dust now lies.
Erected by his son Col. James
Devlin."
For the information Of "Mack OF
Ulster" it should be noted that the
Cedar Spring Church was organized
in 177s, that it belongs to the
Psalm-singing branch of the Presby-
terian Church, the real old Cove
nanter stock, and that it is constant
ly renewing it's strength in, this
vainglorious age when it takes cour-
age to stand firm, not "pat", against
the flood of new inventions in re-
ligious methods. .......
