Hi Richard, Glad you cleared up the Fairfield question. I was totally unfamiliar with it. I am posting this to the whole list in case there are other descendants of these people. Robert McTeer/McTyre, b. 1710, Lancaster Co.,VA, d. 1775, m. 1733 Wife: Elizabeth Frizzel, b. 1716, d. 1790 (See below) Issue: Catherine Frances Hannah Frizzell b.1734 William b. 1740 John b. 1746 Robert, Jr. b. 1750 William McTyre, born 1740 VA, died 1778, NC Wife: Sara Anna Adair (See below) Issue: William b. 1760, married Elizabeth Whitington Robert Adair b. 1764, marr. Sussana Williams Elizabeth b. 1765 Clarky b. 1767, marr Sion Alford Katrain b. 1768, marr. James Alford (my line) Elizabeth Frizzell's father was Francisco Frizzell. The above was sent to me by the historian/genealogist of the McTyre/McTeer Clan. There are many spellings of the name. McTier, McTire are both used also. Sara Anna Adair's father was very well known for his writings on the American Indians. The Colonial Dames has put up a monument at his burial place in Robeson Co.,NC. You can read a lot about him on the Adair Genforum. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further info. Do you have any of this already? Joanne Harley N.C. [email protected]

I believe it does refer to preaching at various homes, however no more information is given to help identify which Alex McKay it is.

The Article states further on some of the preachers: "Daniel Brown was the son of 'Tory' Neil Brown and Sarah McPhaul. After finishing he was sent by the Synod of North Carolina to the Natchez Territory as a missionary. From his letters to his father, that must have been a rough and wild place. Completing his missionary work, he returned home and was called and accepted to the pastorate at Philadelphus as their first full time minister. After his pastorate at Philadelphus, he went to Williamsburgh District, South Carolina, near Kingstree where he preached at two churches, Kintyre and Indiantown. Being notified of the illness of his mother, he came to Robeson to visit and while here his mother died. Two weeks to the day after his mother died, he died on Aug. 18, 1815. Both are buried in the pre-Revolutionary graveyard behind Phillippi Church in Hoke county. He married Catherine McPherson, daughter of Rev. Daniel McPherson and Sarah McNeil. She outlived him many years and is buried at Antioch"

Where might I find church minutes of any churches that were active in 1800 to 1830 close to Robeson or Hoke Ct. Looking for ancestors. Are there any books?\ Elaine Nagel (Monroe)

The statement in the year of 1755 does that mean when preaching was done at the various homes? I am trying to determine if the Alexander McKay listed above is "my" Alexander McKay. My McKay family settled in Robeson Co about 1792. Thanks again, Maggie

The Rev Daniel Brown is my 4x great grandfather. His daughter, Sara Jane Brown, married Archie McLean whoes family was also from Raft Swamp. John McLean, Archies father, settled on land granted by King George, on the Raft Swamp, near where Antioch Church now stands. I have information on the decendents of Sarah Jane Brown and Archie McLean and Rev Daniel Browns parents. But I have very little information on Archies parents John and Margert {McLean no kin} McLean. I have that John McLeans mother was a Camron {but no names} and his father was Chief Donald McLean of the McLean clan. Also I know his sister was Effie McLean.

Does anyone have any information on an Erwin Baxley, born before 1865?

The following is an article from Argyll Colony Plus Vol.5 No.2 Spring 1990:(This History was written by Henry Hodgen, now deceased, of Red Springs, North Carolina) "In Hoke County, a short distance east of the Allendale Community Building, and just north of the intersection of county roads #1314 and #1318 is the site of Old Raft Swamp Presbyterian Church. A few yards south of it is the cemetery of John McMillan who gave land for the church. The first recorded reference to Raft Swamp is in the journal of Rev. Hugh McAden, who was sent by the Synod of Philadelphia as a missionary to preach to the Scots of the Cape Fear Valley. He records that he preached at the home of John McMillan to a group known as the Raft Swamp Meeting. He also tells of preaching at the home of Roger McNeill on the Cape Fear (now Old Bluff Church), at Alexander McKay's (now Longstreet Church) and at the Home of Mr. Cameron (now Barbecue Church). This was in the year 1755 so there were Presbyterians in the area before that time. These Scots had repeatedly applied to the Church of Scotland for a minister to be sent but the mother church never acted on their requests. For the next years there was no regular minister at Raft Swamp but it was supplied by itinerant preachers and whatever preacher happened to pass through. Then came the Revolutionary War and the religious life as well as other enterprises suffered. After the close of the Revolution, it was learned that a Highland preacher was in Charleston, SC seeking a location. John McCormick, Duncan McMillan and a Mr. Currie, members of the Raft Swamp, consulted and determined to visit him. They constructed a boat in the swamp of Lumber River and set off down the Lumber River and The Little PeeDee into Winyah Bay at Georgetown. There they left the boat and set off by foot to Charleston. They located the Rev. Duncan Crawford, a Highland Preacher who had served in the British service as a chaplain and remained in NC after the Revolution. After explaining their situation the Rev. Crawford agreed to accept their offer and the four set off on foot to Georgetown carrying the preacher's effects on their backs. ........After landing at Campbells Bridge near Floral College the preachers effects were loaded on a drag and carried to Raft Swamp where he immediately set about his labors........................................................................ In 1789 Rev Crawford organized Raft Swamp Church, although services had been conducted on the site since 1750. Hugh McAden preached there in 1755, Rev. James Campbell made it one of his regular points from 1757 till the Revolution, Rev. John McLoud of Bluff Preached there frequently. After the church burned in 1825, Raft Swamp was not rebuilt. Unfortunately there was a great temperance revival about this time and a schism in the congregation resulted. As the old court records show, many of these old Scotsmen considered the family still property of considerable value, passing from father to son. So Raft Swamp congregation divided into factions of dry, wet, and apathetic. It is told the drys joined the Centre and the wets chose Bethel where the minister was far more tolerant of the situation. However a solid nucleus met at McPall's Mill where they usually had a passing preacher. In 1832 this group changed their location to what is now Antioch and in 1833 changed the name to Antioch. Therefore Antioch is the successor to Raft Swamp. By 1800 the members of Raft Swamp had formed churches more centrally located to their community and as a result Raft Swamp was the mother church of Antioch, Big Rockfish, Center, Laurel Hill, Philadelphus, Ashpole, and Saint Pauls. Besides exerting a great influence on religious life in the area, it contributed to the cause of Presbyterianism in the South. By 1800 5 of it's sons were studying for the ministry at Dr. Caldwell's school in Guilford County. They were Daniel Brown, Duncan Brown, Malcolm McNair, Murdock McMillan, and Murdock Murphy. Brown was licensed by Orange Presbytery at Barbecue Church in 1800 and the other four at the same place in 1801."
