Meet Rev. Robert Hall Morrison
Jim Williams will appear in the persona of Reverend Robert Hall Morrison. He will tell us about his early days in Cabarrus County, how he became one of the leading Presbyterian Ministers in North Carolina in the early 19th century and served at Sugar Creek and Charlotte Churches before becoming founder and first president of Davidson College. When ill health forced his resignation, he became a prominent planter in Lincoln County and again a minister at Unity Presbyterian Church and founder of Machpelah Church. A number of his daughters married college professors and Confederate officers and Dr. Morrison will tell us about those gentlemen.
