Note 18 — Chapter XIX · FIRST ANNUAL TOUR WITH BISHOP ASBURY, 1808.

At the Cincinnati Conference of 1863 I saw the Rev. Aaron Wood of Indiana Conference. He was converted a fortnight before the bishop and I were at his father’s in 1808. We talked over the scenes of the past, and he remembered our visit. He has been over forty years a traveling preacher. The interview I had with him was most refreshing. I also had the pleasure of seeing him at the General Conference in Philadelphia in May, 1864. He offered the concluding prayer when that body separated. He married for his first wife the daughter of the celebrated William Beauchamp.
