  • Jason Lee Was Selected As the Leader of the Missionary Party
    CHAPTER LXII METHODIST CHURCH HISTORY In the spring of 1833 Rev. Wilbur Fisk issued an appeal in the Chris- tian Advocate and Journal arid also in Zioiz'g Herald, asking for volun- teers to go as missionaries to the Indians in the Oregon Country.Meet- ings were held in the various Methodist churches on the Atlantic seaboard, and funds were raised to pay the expense of sending missionaries to the country beyond the Rocky Mountains. Jason Lee was selected as the leader of the missionary party and received his appointment on July 17, 1833.His father, Daniel Lee, was born in Connecticut, as was his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Whitaker.Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved to Vermont, where they lived for fifteen years, and later moved to Stanstead, in Canada, in 1800.Jason Lee was born at Stanstead in 1803. Jason Lee was 6 feet 3 inches high.He spent his youth and early manhood working in the woods of Canada. He was converted when he was twenty-three years old.The following year he entered Wesleyan Academy, at Wilbraham, Mass., of which Dr. Wilbur Fisk was president. He offered his services to the Missionary Society of London to go as a missionary to the Indians of Canada.While waiting to hear from the Wesleyan Missionary Society of London, he was offered the position of superintendent of missions for the Oregon Country, which he accepted. He appointed as his assistant, his nephew, Rev. Daniel Lee. The missionary board in New York appropriated $3,000 for the work in Oregon.
