Periodically, an Anglican priest would travel into the very extensive "back country" of South Carolina to marry couples and baptize their children. One account of this is in a book by a Rev. Woodmason (title has something about "Carolina Back Country"), who was an Anglican priest who was hired to do just that at least once in the early 1770s. He has a lot to say about a lot of things and people. One of the main reasons he did this was because he didn't have any luck getting his own church, and, after reading several pages of his writing, you can get a good idea as to why. *Very* opinionated! If you're Presbyterian or Baptist, don't take him personally! He doesn't seem to have come in contact with the Methodists, but it has been a while since I've read the book. (I do not own a copy.) If I remember correctly, the Lutherans were able to have their own clergy baptize and marry, but there wouldn't have been that many of them, except in the Dutch Fork area (parts of present-day Newberry and Lexington counties). My Whitakers and Perrys didn't arrive in the state until just before 1800. They were Methodist. I had some Low Country ancestors who were probably in the state from a very early date, but I'm having trouble establishing documentation on them -- too many folks in burned counties and almost no material on their maternal lines. There were small Jewish and Catholic communities in Charleston from early on. The first Catholic parish in the Upstate (St. Mary's, Greenville) traces its origins to 1852. Pre-Revolutionary white settlement in South Carolina was very sparse more than about 90 miles from the ocean. The oldest pre-Revolutionary non-Indian-founded town in South Carolina more than 90 miles from the ocean is Camden (originally Pine Tree). Elizabeth Whitaker

Hello, Where can I get a copy of the naturalization records from 1798? I believe that Daniel Drummond of Antrim is my gggggg-grandfather. On ancestry plus I found this: Immigrant: Drummond, Daniel Location: South Carolina Year: 1798 Publication: HOLCOMB, BRENT H. South Carolina Naturalizations, 1783-1850. Baltimore: Genealogical Publish 1985. 255p. Port and date of arrival, or place and date of application or admission. Many records give country of orig residence in America, and occupation. Page Number: 118 Document Type: Immigrant Record Source: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index Then in "A Collection of Upper South Carolina Genealogical and Family Records" vol. 2 p. 79 there was this: Drummond, Daniel Pack 2. Clerk of the Court Office. Anderson, S.C. Pendleton Dist. To the Honr. The associate Judges of said state. The humble petition of Daniel Drummond a native of the County Antrim in the Kingdom of Ireland, sheweth that he has resided U. S. A. fifteen years and the whole time within this State. Your petitioner is desirous of becoming a citizen of this U.S. Therefore your petitioner prays that you would admit him to the rights and privileges of citizenship. We do certify that we have known Danl. Drummond for five yrs. And that he is a man of good moral character. Signed: John T. Lewis, Patrick Norris, John McFalls, James Todd, Newman Moore, John Bryce, J.P., E. Herrin, J.P., Nathan McAlister, Andrew McAlister. Dated 26 October 1813. When he renounce and adjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign power, his name is given as David Drummond. Dated 26 October 1813. Signed: David Drummond. Does this mean Daniel changed his name to David? Where could I get a copy of the original? Thank you, Glen http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gdrummondjr/

There were there were three Journals by Francis Asbury. HerbHendricks [email protected]

I've most often seen them in libraries as a two volume set. They are very interesting, even if you're not that interested in either the Methodist church or Methodist history. Asbury describes his environment, gives his opinions on the people he meets (most often by name), and goes into detail on both his health and that of his horse, so you really get an up close and personal view of travel in the early U.S., particularly the early South.

Hello, Anderson has had a lot of MAJOR storms over the past week and while I was out of town last week, someone used my computer and forgot to unplug. Needless to say, my computer has crashed, a lot of damage has been done to it, and very little was recovered. I almost had the obituary pages redone but now will go back and work on them again, I have brought everything from the archive site back down to my computer, so none of that information was lost. Unfortunately, my own family tree was lost and cannot be recovered. I had a backup zipdisk but my mother used it and didnt realize what it was. SO I have to reload my 10 years worth of data (over 1700 names)in by hand. I do have paper copies of almost everything. This is a reminder to everyone to backup, backup, backup EVERYTHING,(and don't let your mom borrow your stuff). If you use family tree and back up to floppy disks, get a zip drive. I also had 3 different sets of backups on floppy that cannot be read because it extends over 4 disks. You never realize what you have until it is gone and then its usually tooo late. Have a great day, Cindy

Hi Townville People. My name is Gene Schneider, a volunteer at the ACM. Yes, there is a 17 page list of names for people who are buried at the Townville Baptist Church. I have made copies of the listings from the "Anderson County Cemeteries" book vol.3. You will find it at the Anderson Library "Carolina Room" and other places. I have found out by going to a lot of Church Cemeteries, that the Pastors etc. do not want to get involved with people calling for Genealogy purposes and other ref.? Sad but true ! My listing shows Tuckers, Huchinsons & Whitfields buried there? Let me know which ones you are looking for and I will look them up for you. "SCANDERS" is a great resource for the county and history?

I'm looking for Pendleton District residents, especially in the early 1800s, who were from families documented to be religious dissenters in Virginia and Maryland. Prior to the American Revoution, it was illegal in VA to belong to any except the Anglican church. Some folks petitioned the legislature to practice as Baptists or Methodists or Presbyterians. Others simply left the colony to live in the more liberal colonies of North and South Carolina. Please drop me a line if you have any family history of religious dissent. I am writing a history of antebellum Anderson District. [email protected]
