==Role in American Methodism==
Kenneth E. Rowe's foreword to the book "American Methodist Pioneer," which presents the journals of Freeborn Garrettson, begins,"Freeborn Garrettson was unquestionably the most competent native born Methodist preacher in the American colonies in the founding period." 〔Simpson, Robert Drew, American Methodist Pioneer, The life and Journals of the Rev. Freeborn Garrettson, Academy Books, 1984, p. viii.〕 Early in his career Garrettson served the Delmarva Peninsula. Although he favored the revolutionary cause he would not fight in the war and was placed in jail for a time in Maryland during the Revolutionary War. Most of the Methodist preachers who had come from England before the outbreak of war, returned there once the war began. In 1784 he went as a missionary to Nova Scotia, which led to the founding of Methodist congregations in (Cape Negro ) and the free black settlement of Birchtown.〔The Black Loyalists, James W. St. G. Walker, University of Toronto Press, 1992, p.73〕 In 1788 he began working in the state of New York. In 1791, he married Catherine Livingston of Rhinebeck, after which he confined his ministry to New York. During Garrettson's time American Methodism rose from total obscurity to a place of import within American religion.
He was a very popular preacher and at his death he made provision in his will for the perpetual support of a missionary.〔
In the late 1780s Reverend Garrettson settled in the Village of Rhinebeck, NY to bring Methodism. He married Mrs. Catherine Livingston, and held the first Methodist church services in the Benner House on Mill Street.
