The Scotch-Irish and their descendants may not now be a majority- in the State ; they may perhaps be a minority ; but the character impressed by their predecessors will remain for ages, perhaps for ever — enterprise, independence, and a desire for improvement. The church, the school-house, and the college, grew up with the log cabins ; and the principles of religion were pro- claimed, and the classics taught where glass windows were unknown, and books were carried in bags upon pack-horses. The ...first minister of religion, that is known to have preached in Tennessee, was a Presbyterian by the name of Cummins, from Vir- ginia, who accompanied the expedition from Carolina against the Cherokees in 1776. As he passed through the Holston settlements, he preached in the forts and stations, those places of defence and of instruction, and, for a time, of public worship. Among the Scotch- Irish that settled West Pennsylvania, Carolina, Virginia, and enter- ed the wilderness of Tennessee, and were gathered into forts and stations, so often made the opportunities of dissipation, it was no uncommon thing for those gatherings to be improved for instruct- ing children, and for seasons of religions worship.
