347According to Helen Beall, who is a GGG granddaughter of John Jacob and his second wife, he was accepted on Foundation, a provision for the eduation of poor boys in St. John's College in Annapolis, Md. on May 13, 1790. He graduated from there on Aug. 1, 1794, and became an Asst. Professor in English and Grammar on July 1, 1796. On Dec. 27, 1807 he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church. He was ordained a priest on April 23, 1809. He served as rector of the Church of the Holy Cross in Statesburg, South Carolina which is also known as St. Mark's, Claremont, SC. from 1807 to 1811. On December 9th of 1809 he became rector of St. John's Church in Berkeley, South Carolina (also known as Biggin Church) where he remained until his death from Cholera on September 17th, 1834. [BJ's Note: Could he have been at both St. John's in Berkeley, SC and serve as Rector at Holy Cross in Statesburg, SC at the same time?]

Helen Beall, descendant of our Martin Tschudi sent me the following information. I'm sorry to say Helen passed away in 2005.

The Christian Journal and Literary Register, Vol VI, Printed and Pub. by T. and J. Swords, NY, 1822. It states, "At a special ordination, held on the 10th April, 1822, at the chapel in Pineville, by the Right Rev. Dr. Bowen, the Rev. D.J. Campbell was admitted to the holy order of Priests. Morning prayer having been read by the Rev. Mr. Tschudy, of St. John's, Berkley... .

A number of years ago, I (Helen Beall) visited St. John's, Berkeley, (also known as Biggin Church) and copied the inscriptions on the Tschudy tombstones. She stated, "When I was there a few years ago, the inscriptions could no longer be read. The first time, I photographed the tombstones. Unfortunately, I did not realize that my camera was broken, so we have forever lost the images of the inscriptions. The three stones are together, right beside the church."

Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Barbara Tschudy, Mother of Rector of the Parish who Died Jul 18, 1819 aged 66 years & 2 months. Thy faith hath served thee. Go in peace.
