Biography of FREEBORN GARRETSON

 
Freeborn Garretson, pioneer Methodist, was born in Maryland, 15 August 1752. He became a convert to Methodism and in 1775 became an itinerant preacher for that denomination. He was eminently successful in his labors and in 1784 was elected by the general conference a presiding elder and was a voluntary missionary in Nova Scotia for four years. He then selected twelve young ministers and organized an evangelical work in eastern New York and western New England. In 1791 he was married to Catharine, daughter of Robert L. Livingston and thereafter resided in New York city, making Rhinebeck-on-the-Hudson his summer home. His itinerary extended from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico in the tier of Atlantic states. His daughter, Mary Rutherford Garretson, born in 1783, inherited his property as well as his missionary spirit. Her home on the Hudson was the mecca of Methodism during her lifetime and hundreds of young men, afterward prominent as missionaries and preachers, received their first encouragement and financial help from her. She died at Rhinebeck, NY, 7 March 1879. Freeborn Garretson died in New York, NY, 26 September 1827.
