The Coharie ("Schohari"), which means "Driftwood" in Tuscarora, are a Native American tribe who descend from the Tuscarora nation and related peoples. Most survivors of this Iroquoian-speaking tribe left the colony after warfare in the early 18th century, under pressure from English colonists and Native American enemies. They migrated north to New York, where they colocated with other Iroquoian-speaking nations, and were accepted as the Sixth Nation of the Iroquois League. Leaders declared that the migration was complete by 1722, and those who stayed in the South were no longer considered Tuscarora.

Free Will Baptist is a denomination and group of people that believe in free grace, free salvation and free will. The movement can be traced back to the 1600s with the development of General Baptism in England. Its formal establishment is widely linked to the English theologian, Thomas Helwys who led the Baptist movement to believe in general atonement. He was an advocate of religious liberty at a time when to hold to such views could be dangerous and punishable by death. He died in prison as a consequence of the religious persecution of Protestant dissenters under King James I.
