Was the tune PLENARY published in the first edition of The Southern Harmony, or added later?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Have there been any more recent discoveries concerning the arranger A. C. Clark? J. S. James thought he was from South Carolina and related to William Walker and B. F. White. If so, that would presumably mean that either he or his wife was related to the Golighty family. (That would be a simple explanation of how he was related to both of them._

His glories sing,

Yes, I should have remembered that the appendix was added in 1840. There is a scan of and 1840 ed.  at IMSPL along with several others:

This 1840 appendix also includes the first printing of WONDGROUS LOVE.
