It appears that these six counties have a population of 1 36 ministers, 63 churches supplied by them with preaching, and 21 vacant societies, all of the Presbyterian order. It is evident from this, that most of the preachers have to supply two or three societies. This district is not in very pressing need of missionary assistance, compared with other parts of the country, except it be the counties of Somerset and Greene, which have a population of nearly inhabitants, and not one church supplied with preaching.
