- Will of Reverend Cornelius Winter, Minister of the Gospel of Painswick , Gloucestershire 16 February 1808 PROB 11/1475
Cornelius Winter arrived in Savannah in 1769 after he heard the inspirational preaching of Wesley in England. It was his goal to preach to the negroes, but his efforts were were met with little favor as was Wesley's efforts with the Indians.
Early in 1771, a Mr. Cornelius Winter who had accompanied George Whitefield to America arrived in England carrying Whitefield's will by which he had bequeathed to Lady Huntingdon the Orphan House in Georgia which catered for African negroes. The Countess immediately took a keen interest in this....
The Reverend Cornelius Winter, the minister from 1778-88, at Marlborough Congretational Church, Wiltshire re-organized the church on Congregational principles and also established a school to train young men for the ministry.
