Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief History of Rev. Samuel Lander, Senior, and His Wife Eliza Ann (Miller) Lander, Late of Lincolnton, N. C: Their Two Sons, William Lander and Samuel Lander, and Their Grandson Samuel A. Weber
It is worthy of mention that Mr. And Mrs. Lander were confirmed as members in the English church in the same class when strangers to each other.
The Millers were staunch church people, 'but even in the early days of Methodism were tolerant of the new sect and more than once entertained John Wesley when he visited the city of, Cork.
The fact has been handed down in the family that on one occasion when Wesley was preaching in the Miller home in Cork, using a table for a pulpit, that Adam, one of the smaller children, was asleep under the table, and Mr. Wesley preach ing on the fall of Adam and Eve, when describing the scene in the garden, quoted in a loud voice the scripture: Adam, where -'art thou? This aroused the sleeping child, who re plied, here I am under the table. This amusing incident created merriment in the congregation.
The Millers later joined the Methodists and to this day the great body of their descendents are active members of the Methodist churches of Ireland, Canada and the United States.
