Rev. George Whitefield, a touring evangelist preacher, swept through New England in the early 1740s. He gave one of his rousing sermons from a large rock upon Foster Hill to 400-500 people. He was one of the people who founded Methodism in England in 1738, and also espoused Calvinist doctrine of predestination, which eventually estranged him from the Wesleyan Methodists.
