==== **Reverand Richard Allen**- He was born in Philadelphia on February 14, 1760 and was the slave of a man named Benjamin Chew. Later on he became a well-known lawyer and eventually served as Chief Justice from 1774-1777. Allen traveled the Methodist circuit to states like Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, and South Carolina while preaching to black and white people alike. He earned money working as a wagon driver and sawyer. During his travels he discovered while preaching at a Methodist church, that there wasn't enough space for blacks in the church. He therefore sought out to build a church of his own, he named it the Free African Society, because it was non-denominational and for blacks. After seven years of his society growing constantly he formed Bethel, in 1794 which is the "mother" church of the African Methodist Episcopal church. This church was the very first independent black christian denomination. ====
