1786: Rev. Jedidiah Morse ordained, ``After preaching one year, Mr.
Holmes' health becoming impaired, he went to the north and instead of
returning in the fall, as he intended, he made arrangement with his
friend, Mr., afterwards Rev. Dr. Jedidiah Morse, then a tutor in Yale
College, by which an exchange of duties and place was temporarily
effected, Mr. Holmes taking his place in the tutorship and the church
agreeing `to pay the salry of Mr. Holmes to the time of his arrival to
the northward,' and that of Mr. Morse from the time he set off to go
to them, and to continue one month after leaving. Mr. Morse was
ordained November 9, 1786, and next day set sail for Georgia, where he
remained six months.'' -- Stacy in his History. Source: Stacy-H
