	Biographical/Historical:	The South Gadsden Circuit was part of the Tallahassee District of the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South was the Methodist denomination resulting from a split over the issue of slavery that divided the churches of the North and South in 1844. During Reconstruction, northern Methodist churches sent missionaries to the South and the church began to flourish in Florida; there were then both North and South Methodist conferences in Florida. In 1939, the two regional denominations reunified as the Methodist Church.
	Summary:	The collection contains photocopies of the minutes of the quarterly meetings of the Methodist Circuits located in Gadsden and Liberty Counties. These include the South Gadsden Mission, March 24, 1854 - December 18, 1854; the South Gadsden Circuit, April 21, 1855 - October 6, 1860; and the Liberty Circuit, March 2, 1861 - August 15, 1863. The Liberty Circuit documents were in poor condition and are therefore difficult to read. Also included in the collection is a list of preachers in charge of or presiding elders of the Gadsden Circuit from 1824 to 1889.
