Birth and early faith of William Allum in Ireland and England
The account traces William Allum born 1766 near Tanderagee in County Armagh Ireland. From Presbyterian parents educated in that faith he meets Methodism, converts during a Love-feast in 1787 under Thomas Kerr, seeks pardon, and experiences revival as he begins preaching with zeal. He endures backsliding and illness before reengaging in ministry.
