Any relation to the above Duncan Carmichael?
Rev. John Carmichael
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- -----
Carmichael, John was born in the town of Tarbert, in Argyleshire, Scotlan d, October 17, 1728. His parents, Donald and Elizabeth (Alexander) Carmich ael, were both exemplary members of the Presbyterian Church, and migrat ed to this country in the year 1737. As they drew near the American coas t, after a long voyage, a sudden gust well nigh overturned the vessel; a nd their son John, then a little boy eight years old, was precipitated ove rboard; but, happily, the waves more him within reach of the Captain, a nd his life was saved. After remaining a short time at New York, they remo ved to Hackensack, a Dutch settlement in New Jersey, where they experienc ed much kindness from the people; but the irreligion, especially the profa nation of the Lord's day, that prevailed there, led the pious father to se ek, particularly on account of his children, a more congenial residence. S uch a place he found in what was then called Ward Session, a few miles fr om Newark, N. J. Here the family attended the ministry of the Rev, Aaron B urr, whose preaching made a deep impression on the mind of this son, and w hose addresses at the Communion table he always remembered as having be en characterized with great pathos and power.
In the year 1745, death deprived him of his father; he entered the Colle ge of New Jersey in the year 1755, and was admitted to the degree of Bache lor of Arts, in August 1759. In November following, he was summoned to t he deathbed of his mother, where he witnessed a scone of remarkable Christ ian triumph.
After studying Theology at Princeton, under the direction of the Rev. Samu el Davies, who had succeeded to the Presidency of the College the ye ar he graduated, he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New Brunsw ick, on the 8th of May 1760.
Some time in the year 1700, he received a call from the church of the For ks of Brandywine, Chester County, Pa., to become their Pastor. This ca ll he accepted; and the Presbytery of Newcastle, then lately constituted f rom a part of the Donegal Presbytery, met at the Forks of Brandywine, Apr il 21, 1701, and ordained him to the work of the ministry, and installed h im Pastor of that Congregation. This connection continued until it was ter minated by his death.
When the war of the Revolution came on, Mr. Carmichael showed himself an e arnest and uncompromising friend to the liberties of his country. In the s ummer of 1775, the militia of the town of Lancaster requested him to prea ch a military sermon.
The Rev. Dr. J. N. C. Grier, in a discourse which he preached in 1849, con taining the History of the Church of the Forks of Brandywine, pays the fol lowing tribute to Mr. Carmichael:
"The Rev. John Carmichael was an eloquent man, in his day, and 'migh ty in the Scriptures.' He was a man of ardent feelings, and what he di d, he did with his might. He was the Pastor of this congregation during t he whole of the great American Revolution; and, like most of the Presbyter ian clergymen of that day, he espoused the cause of his country, like o ne who would rather perish, battling for freedom, than live a slave, He w as long spared to the affections and the prayers of his people, going in a nd out before them, as a burning and a shining light, breaking to them t he bread of life; and being an example to the flock over which the Holy Gh ost had made him an overseer, ever calling upon them 'to be followers of h im, oven as he also was of Christ.'
"The congregation increased under his ministry, which lasted about twenty- four years. He died greatly respected, and 'deeply lamented by his people- and having in all the churches of his Presbytery the reputation of a man t horoughly furnished for his work-one who needed not to be ashamed, becau se he rightly divided the word of truth."
