Early Nletbodism in Granville County
The circuit riders of early Methodism came into Granville County soon alter the first Methodist sermon vas preached in the colony of North Carolina. Joseph Pilmoor was the first Methodist preacher sent out by John Wesley to enter North Carolina and to him goes the honor of having preached the first Methodist sermon in the colony. This took place on September 28. 1772, at Currituck Courthouse in Currituck County.
Robert Williams was the second Methodist preacher to enter North Carolina and it is believed that he was the first to enter Granville County. Williams landed in New York in 1769, helped Philip Embury some at Wesley Chapel in New York CO and then made his way southward. He came to Maryland where he assisted Robert Strawbridge for n time, then pushed on into Virginia and was the first to introduce Methodism in Virginia. It should also be noted that Williams began the first publishing venture by a Methodist preacher by distributing tracts attributed to John Wesley. Williams was forbidden to continue this practice at the 1773 Conference quite possibly because he had married and become a "local preacher" rather than remaining single and "itinerating."
Jesse Lee, an early Methodist historian wrote. "In lime beginning of this year (1774) Robert Williams began to form societies in Virginia...Soon after he began to preach through the country from Petersburg into the North part of North Carolina, and the fruits of his labours began to appear, and souls were awakened and brought to the knowledge of God." The Carolina Circuit was formed at the Fourth General Conference held at Baltimore on May 21, 1776. This circuit included all the territory of North Carolina and was served by three preachers: Edward Dromgoole, Francis Poythress and Isham Tatum. The Sixth General Conference, held in Leesburg Virginia on May 19. 1778, brought forth three circuits from the Carolina Circuit which were called: Roanoke (for Roanoke Rapids) Circuit, Tar River Circuit and New Hope Circuit.
Methodism in Granville County, much like Methodism through much of America at that time, found its beginnings in the homes of dedicated lay people. Granville County Methodism found its home in the house of George Harris sometime between 1776 and 1778. A church building was eventually erected for the conference and was named "Harris Meeting House" and was the first Methodist Church ever built in Granville County. As is true with much of history, the first date of services at this church is unknown but it is known that a Methodist preacher, Micajah Debruler front Maryland, witnessed the marriage of Ann Hicks and William Matthews on July 12, 1778. Debruler was one of two circuit riders stationed on the Tar River Circuit. The other preacher assigned to this circuit, Adam Cloud, married a Granville County resident, Miss Mary Hicks, daughter of William Hicks, in 1782 and lived on land adjoining the Harris Meeting House. The Harris Meeting House continued to serve the needs of Granville County Methodists until 1828 when the church was disbanded and Salem Methodist Episcopal and Rehoboth Protestant Methodist Churches were formed. Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church was also a daughter of the Harris Meeting house.
