Francis Makemie

Concise biography of Francis Makemie, an early Presbyterian minister in colonial America, detailing his travels, writings, disputes (e.g., George Keith), licensing, arrest, and advocacy for toleration.

Although Makemie was not the first Presbyterian minister to serve in the American colonies, because of his pioneering labors along the Eastern Seaboard, particularly in the establishment of the first Presbytery in America, he is often credited as “the Father of American Presbyterianism.”
