Visiting missionaries, ministers, and even a bishop occasionally travelled through the area beginning as early as 1822. The first permanent clergyman, Joseph Alexander, arrived on the Eastern Shore as an itinerant catechist in 1843. Alexander, a native of Yorkshire, England, ministered approximately from Beaver Harbour, Halifax County, to Torbay, Guysborough County.
