THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Dec. 4, 1764 The back page has a report from Savannah, Georgia, noting: "A scheme is on foot here, said to be proposed by the Rev. Mr. Whitefield, for admitting a number of Indian youths into the orphan house of this province, to be brought up in the principles of religion, cloathed, educated and taught the English tongue. The superintendent of Indian affairs, Mr. Steward, highly approves of the scheme, and is to lay it before some headmen of the Creeks and Cherokees at their next Congress."
This is the famed Rev. George Whitefield, an Anglican cleric and evangelist who was one of the founders of Methodism.
