LOVELESS SAVAGE.

  Loveless Savage was brought up an Episcopalian, and had removed from Welch
Neck, on the Peedee, when he came to Georgia. Mr. Botsford, on a tour of
preaching, in 1772, up the Kiokee, made inquiry of him in regard to his place of
preaching, and after being informed, asked him, "Have you been baptized?" "Yes,
to be sure," was Mr. Savage's answer. "How do you know?" inquired Mr. Botsford.
"Why, my parents have told me so." "Then you know only by information." This
interrogation of Mr. Botsford, "How do you know?" haunted him till he became
convinced of his duty.*

  He was afterwards baptized by Mr. Marshall, and became a useful preacher, and
was probably instrumental in gathering Abilene church; was a preacher as early
as 1775. His last sermon was to a dying widow, whom he visited, and to whom he
spake from these words, "Leave thy fatherless children," etc. His residence was
near Quaker Springs, Columbia county, some ten miles northwest of Augusta. He
died about 1815, near ninety years old.
