Pagina 353 - Sundays any neighbors were welcome to attend the service, where my mother acted as a very emphatic clerk, and the prayer for the High Court of parliament under our most religious and gracious king was very stoutly delivered. The brave Hagan was a parson without a living, as I was a militia colonel without a regiment. Hagan had continued to pray stoutly for King George in Williamsburg, long after his excellency our governor had run away : but on coming to church one Sunday to perform his duty, he...
