Mission’s Among the Southern Indians
In 1819, the Synod of South Carolina initiated a mission among Southern Indians, focusing on the Chickasaws. Rev. David Humphries and Rev. T. C. Stewart initially sought permission to establish a mission, which was granted by the Chickasaw king in 1820. Stewart, the sole missionary, founded Monroe Station in 1821, accompanied by two families. This mission became a pivotal center for education and Christianity, significantly influencing the Chickasaw community, fostering future leaders and laying the groundwork for their ongoing civilization.
