About Rev. Alexander James Gilliland
From 1805 until his death forty years later Rev Gilliland preached at Red Oak against slavery and for the first seventeen years of that time was pre-eminent among abolition leaders in southern Ohio. In 1830 he headed an effort to compose a pastoral letter, together with Samuel Crothers, on the subject of slavery. Eighteen-thousand copies of this letter were printed. The Presbyterian churches at Ripley, Georgetown, Russellville, and Decatur which became well-known for their abolition sentiments sprang from Gilliland's church at Red Oak and for vehement anti-slavery preaching there was not a group of ministers in the country who could surpass those who clustered about this Carolina pioneer and with him helped to form the vigorous Chillicothe Presbytery
