User:WilyD/William Case/Joseph Scull

Joseph Scull was a Methodist circuit rider.

Scull was accepted on trial by the Baltimore Conference as a circuit rider in 1805. That year he rode the Somersett Circuit, followed by the Tablot Circuit and Ontario Circuit in the ensuing two years. In 1808 he moved to the New York Conference, where he rode the Cayuga Circuit in 1808. In 1809, he volunteered to be sent to Canada, and was assigned to the Montreal Circuit in Lower Canada.[1] In 1811, he was assigned to the Quebec City Circuit.[2] The membership in the Methodist Church decreased during his year in Quebec City.[3]

In 1812, Scull returned to the Philidephia Conference, and was assigned to the Talbot Circuit, where he worked alongside John Emory. He was superannuated in 1813, and located in 1814, likely as the result of a marriage.[4]
