Notes

On Feb 28, 1846, the licensing of Bro. Peter to preach the gospel was recorded and soon after this the church gave him another personal rich gift to the causeof higher education. He was called to the chair of ancient languages in the Furman Instituton, then located in Winnsboro,retained the position when the institution was removed to Greenville and enlarged into Furman Univ., and occupied to the close of his useful life. He served his generation as well. He was never a pastor, but frequently preached the gospel he loved and used all the powers of his strong character in buildung up righteousness. He died in the prime of his ripened powers.(Welsh Neck Church Minutes from Furman University).
