George Mifflin Harker: Frontier Minister
"He was born a Quaker and became a Methodist Episcopal preacher in 1824, an ordained Deacon in Ithaca, New York in 1828, and an Elder in Rochester, New York, in 1830. In 1835 Rev. Harker, his wife Anna, and their five children, arrived in Miami County, Ohio, where Harker became a circuit preacher, making a 10-12 stop circuit every couple of weeks. During their 26-year stint in the Midwest, the Harker family moved frequently, oftentimes settling in cities and towns known to be famous stations on the Underground Railroad. A strong abolitionist, Harker took issue with the Methodist Episcopal church on the issue of slavery, and in 1843 he left the church along with other like-minded individuals and formed the Wesleyan connection. Harker later served as the delegate to the first General Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in the United States held in 1844 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Harkers left the Midwest for California in 1861 and joined their eldest son, John Wesley Harker, a merchant in San Francisco. Harker attempted to establish several Wesleyan churches in California, first in Monterey, and next in San Jose. Unable to firmly establish the churches, he left the Wesleyans and took up successive ministries in Congregational churches in Pescadero, Clayton, and East Oakland, the last of which he served without charge from 1871 until his death in 1882." - written by Sari
