Makemie, Francis

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Makemie, Francis (c. 1658–1708)

Irish-born US Protestant clergyman. He was ordained c. 1682 and sent to America as a missionary. He evangelized in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Barbados before settling down as a successful merchant and pastor at Rehobeth on Maryland's eastern shore. He founded the first presbytery in America in 1706. Regarded as the main founder of the Presbyterian Church in America, he encountered much official opposition in an era of religious intolerance and was arrested for his activities on at least two occasions. Makemie was born in County Donegal, Ireland.
