Barney, this is in my McCorkle line:
Samuel Eusebius McCorkle was licensed to preach October 15, 1775, ordained October 2, 1777.Thyatira Presbyterian Church was evidently served by itinerant ministers until Aug. 2, 1777, when Rev. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle, a son of the church, was ordained and installed as pastor.Dr. McCorkle became famous for his Zion-Parnassus classical school which was located about a mile from Thyatira Church and for helping to found the University of North Carolina.
