Parson Pettigrew of the "Old Church", 1744-1807

James Sprunt Studies in History and Political Science

by Sarah McCulloh Lemmon

The Reverend Charles Pettigrew was a blend of many Huguenot-Scot-Irish, Presbyterian and Anglican, frontiersman and urbanite, schoolteacher and aristocrat, common man and Federalist--in other words, American. His career was an excellent example of upward mobility in early America, and the account assumes a significance beyond the North Carolina locale.
