William Beauchamp
Edit ProfileEducation
William was sent to a good school where he was taught English grammar and Latin.
Career
At sixteen William Beauchamp joined the Methodist Episcopal church. At eighteen he taught in a neighborhood school at Monongahela, Pennsylvania. It was his desire, however, to enter the ministry and he gave his time to systematic and regular classical reading and study and became proficient in Latin, Greek, and mathematics, and later in Hebrew. At nineteen he began to preach, two years later he left home to travel with the presiding elder, and in 1794 became an itinerant preacher on trial on the Allegheny Circuit. In 1796 he was admitted into full connection on the Pittsburgh Circuit and at twenty-five was an elder. The next years saw him in Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, and Provincetown, Massachussets, and in 1800 he was on Nantucket Island. Because of ill health he asked to be allowed to remain there and was not transferred for seven years.
From 1807 until 1815 William lived in his father's neighborhood in Wood County, Virginia, as local preacher and here he did his first writing, Essays on the Truth of the Christian Religion (1811) which established his reputation. He edited the Western Christian Monitor, the only paper of its kind in the Methodist Church in 1816, in Chillicothe, Ohio. While he lived in this region there was a great revival of religion, which was attributed to his eloquence as a preacher.
In 1817 with Thomas S. Hinde and William McDowell, both Methodist preachers, Beauchamp established the town of Mount Carmel, Illinois. He surveyed the town, helped draw up a rigid code of puritanical laws, and built up a congregation. In 1821 because of ill health he lived quietly for sometime on his farm near Mount Carmel, but the next year saw him a member of the Missouri Conference stationed at St. Louis. In 1823 when he was a delegate to the Methodist General Conference in Baltimore he was nominated for bishop, but lost the election by a few votes. The next year, which was his last, he was appointed presiding elder of the Indiana District.
Beauchamp was considered one of the ablest men of his profession. Though he had not had great advantages in formal education, he was a formidable opponent in controversy and his attainments were varied and extensive. In addition to his classical knowledge, he was acquainted with medicine and often made use of it in his pioneer surroundings. He died in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana.
