Along with the names of those who were yet in the itinerant ministry in 1840, the year in with they were received is shown. With the name of each who was no longer in the itinerant ministry, the year is shown in which he was either located, died, withdrew, or was expelled. THE AUTHOR’S MULTIPLE ENTRIES OF IDENTICAL NAMES WITH IDENTICAL
The list below, taken from “A History of the Methodist Episcopal Church,” Volume IV, by Dr. Nathan Bangs, includes: “all the preachers who were received into full connection in the Methodist Episcopal Church to the year 1840, including those who came from Europe and returned, as well as those who remained in this country.” While the Methodist Episcopal Church was not organized until 1784, some of the preachers on this list entered the Methodist ministry long before that. Especially is this true of those who came from England, one of whom was “received” in the year 1762. Thus, the range of years shown above is from the year 1762 to the year 1840.
YEARS HAVE BEEN RETAINED. Perhaps most, if not all, such multiple entries of identical first names, last names and year-records may have resulted from the co-incidental fact that two, or even three, men with identical first and last names did actually serve concurrently in the M. E. ministry. — Duane V. Maxey Petty, Ewell —Received 1823, Located 1827
Petty, Ludwell —Received 1835 History of Methodism in Greene County METHODISTS: (Source: History of Methodism in Alabama & W. Florida) The Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Church, which included Alabama, met in Washington, MS in December 1825 and announced a new "Marengo Circuit" in the AL District, which included Marengo County and parts of Dallas and Wilcox Counties. The new circuit minister for 1826 was Rev. John Collier, a native of VA. During his ministry and that of his successors, the circuit was enlarged to include parts of Sumter, Greene, Perry and Clarke Counties. Later in 1826, Collier moved on and was replaced by Rev. J.G. Jones and, mid-year in 1827, was assisted by Rev. T.S. Abernethy in this growing circuit. The most prominent families in the Canebrake Region of the Marengo circuit in that year were the Cades, Easleys, Glovers, Gwinns, Bennetts, and Christians. An early church was the Mt. Zion Church in Old Spring Hill, where the Boyd, Curtis, Grayson, James, McAlister, McCarty, Tagart and Wilson families lived. In 1828, the ministers were Revs. T.S. Abernathy and J. A. Cotton; For 1829- Hugh McPhail & John Bilbo; For 1830- D.D. Brewer & Joseph P. Sneed; For 1831- E.V. LeVert & Ewell Petty; For 1832- Daniel Monaghan & Hazelwood B.
