The good people of Murfreesboro influence by their liberal-hearted pastor, Dr. Chadick, entertained the convention of colored "brethren" without cost, and accordingly there was a large delegation present. Alabama had several ministers in this remarkable convention, namely: Rev. Hampton Jones, Rev. Alfred McCaulley and Rev. Alfred Barnett.

Rev. Hampton Jones, of Alabama, if not the prime mover of the separation movement for the whole church, was certainly the pronounced leader of it in Alabama. Tennessee had several ministers and elders in this convention, prominent among whom were: Rev. Lewis Neal, Elder (Prof.) Jno. F. Humphrey, of Fayetteville. Humphrey was the first Stated Clerk the colored Cumberlands ever had. He served as Stated clerk of the Colored General Assembly from its organization at Nashville, Tenn., in 1874, till his death, in 1900, in Huntsville, Alabama--a period of twenty-six years.
