Regarding where places are located or where they were located in case they no longer exist... The David Rumsey collection has the Robert Mills State Atlas for South Carolina of 1825. Robert Mills put remarkable detail into his map of each District, including identifying churches, bridges, ferries, some landowners and/or plantations. I'm not "techy" so I had to figure out how to use the website tools to magnify and pan the image online but this is a wonderful website. And if you find a map that you want to own, you can buy a fine reproduction from this site. I love antique maps. If you don't want to buy, you can view and print from the website. http://www.davidrumsey.com/index.html Hope this may be useful.

RE: Upper and Lower Fishing Creek Churches If there is someone that finds an error on the following please, please correct me. This is my understanding of the Fishing Creek Churches in Chester County there were two ~ the Upper and ~ the Lower ~ The Upper Fishing Creek Church still stands today and is better known as Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church and is located in N Central Chester County between Main Fishing Creek and South Fishing Creek. see map http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/c/Mark-Mccullough-GA/PHOTO/0004photo.html?Welcome=1092199142 ~ The Lower Fishing Creek Church exists no longer and was known by the following four names: Sharon Meeting House > Lower Fishing Creek Church > Richardson's Presbyterian Church > Burnt Meeting House It is shown on above map link as Richardson's Presbyterian Church in eastern Chester Co east of where Tinker's Creek flows into Fishing Creek I found the following on Lower Fishing Creek Church in an old CDGS Bulletin ~ ~ Burnt Meeting House ~ From data by Jean C Agee on Burnt Meeting House.... [CDGS Bulletin Vol IV #1 Mar 81 - pp 12-13] '' Burnt Meeting House is a sobriquet applied to a cemetery that was located at the second site of the Lower Fishing Creek Church. The Lower Fishing Creek congregation met first at a meeting house called Sharon. This was the name of the church building as late as 1786 as can be proven by estate settlement of Col James Ferguson. There was a congregation at Lower Fishing Creek as early as 1755 as can be proven by the Journal of Rev Hugh Meiden, a missionary from the Synod of New York and Philadelphia. He states in his Journal that he preached at James Patton's Sabbath 16 Nov 1755. Rev. Saye concludes that this was in the bounds of lower Fishing Creek as the Pattons were members of that congregation at a latter date. Candor McFadden writing in his journal gives the following description of Fishing Creek Settlement, which points to the fact that in 1766 there was a church in the settlement, with a regular schedule of services. ''Friday July 18th, 1766, set out from the courthouse [Charlotte] and crossed Sugar Creek, an exceedingly grassy country but thinly populated. A few miles further came to the nation. It is a tract of country 15 miles square 7 1/2 on each side of the Catawba River, with a vast extent of old Indian fields on the east side of the river but the Indians moved a few miles down the river though I saw many of them. Here I crossed the Catawba River about twenty miles from Mecklenburg. It is a large river about 100 perches [perch is 5 1/2 yards] over and in season rideable. It makes it course of about 200 mile passing by a famous trading place called Pinetree [Camden] and receiving the Congaree it falls into the sea about 70 miles east of Charleston. About 10 miles over this river, I came to Fishing Creek where the road to Saluda crosses it. [This would be on present highway 72 about at the present border of Chester and York Counties.] Here I turned down the creek southeastwardly 15 miles and proceeded no further. It is a large creek, runs very deep and slow with a fine level country about it and thickly settled some places. Here the Rev William Richardson has a congregation, to whom he preaches one Sabbath in Three. He is esteemed a very worthy man and labors faithfully among them. The rest of his labors is spent about ten miles distant in a place called the Waxhaws, on the east side of the river. Here I am now about 50 miles from Pinetree and about 180 miles from Charleston, and about 40 miles from Broad River and about 100 miles to Saluda River. I am now ten miles in the south province. The land hereabout is exceedingly fruitful in many places, but thin, although it produces excellent pasture, so that they who get a p! iece of land may keep what stock they will of all sorts.'' Squire John Gaston was one of the early settlers of this region. In 1760 he was residing on the southwest bank of Fishing Creek within a few miles of Cedar Shoals. His is the first grave marked in Old Burnt Meeting House. John Gaston, Esq. b. 1700 d. 1782 Esther Waugh Gaston/wife of John Gaston b. 1715 d. 1789 [her grave is the 3rd oldest marked grave] The Culps or Kolbs were also residents of the area and members of this congregation. The second oldest marked grave is that of Dorothy Obenchen/dau. of Samuel Abenschon/wife of Benjamin Kolb d. 1786. Other families in the early church were Ferguson, McKinney, McFadden, Pattons, Passel, Fudge, Taylor, Adams. Mr. Saye in his history believes that John Gaston, Esq. was probably an elder. By 1792, James Crawford and Walter Brown were elders. Mr. Richardson supplied this church until his death on 20 July 1771. After his death there were several supply pastors, but by 1773 this church and upper Fishing Creek had called Rev. John Simpson, who was ordained and installed in 1774. He continued pastor until after the Revolution. It is interesting that Rev Simpson shouldered his musket and fought with the men of these congregations. He was such a moving force that the British burned his house and would have hung him, if they could have caught him. The church was revived under the labors of Mr. John Brown, who was supplying Waxhaw, Mr. William G Roseborough was called by the congregation and probably served the years of 1795--1796 and 1797, but because of poor health had to return the call after two years. The year 1798 again found the church now called Richardson's united with upper Fishing Creek in a call to Mr. John B. Davies. He was installed May 14, 1799 and served Richardson's Church until 1831. He gave up the pastorate of Richardson at that time, having served the congregation 33 years. When Mr. Davies began to supply the church in April 1798 there were 44 members. He added to the rolls up to Oct 1, 1799 seventeen members making a total of 61 communicants. The Session of April 1799 had the following additions William Davidson, James Gaston, Joseph Gaston, Isaac McFadden, and Felix Davies. On the 10th August 1822 Alexander Crawford, Isaac McFadden and Robert White were set apart as elders. During the ministry of Mr. Davies there were added to the rolls upon examinations 78 members, by certificate 29 giving a total of 107 additions. Dismissed during the same period were 115, 20 members died, 212 infants were baptised and 10 adults. The last report states that the roll had 26 communicants. This loss of membership was probably due to removals of the congregation to western lands. The McFaddens, Culps, Gastons and other families had moved from the bounds of the church. You were particularly interested in a deed from Benjamin Kolb to this congregation. This deed is to be found in the clerk of courts office, Chester County, SC Book N, Page 334. Benjamin Culp, Chester District SC to James Crawford and Isaac McFadden as trustees for the Presbyterian Congregation of Richardson's for $10 to me in hand paid do sell a tract of land lying on the branch of Tinkers Creek, which is a branch of Fishing Creek being part of a tract of land originally granted to John Culp. The date of this deed is 27 Nov 1804. This may have been when the Meeting House at the cemetery burned. The site chosen was down Fishing Creek about 2 miles from the site of the second church, rather than in the Burnt Church. The congregation split because the people on the west side of the creek wished to move the church nearer to their homes. This was done when they organised Cedar Shoals Church, June 22, 1834. Families drawn from Lower Fishing Creek were: Joseph Gaston, Esq., James G! aston, William A. White, Isabella Walker, Mary White, Daniel Green Stinson, Esther Stinson, Lemuel Davidson.'' [end] Question: Does anyone on the list have any thing on Cedar Shoals Church?

I have a William OTIS born abt 1795 in Chester Co, SC. We do not know who his parents are so not sure if he was born in Chester or not. He can be found in the 1820, 1840, 1850, & 1860 Chester Co, SC census enumerations. He then moved to Noxubee Co, MS with his older son Thomas Harrison. William married Mary RALEIGH (we are not 100% sure her name was RALEIGH) before 1820. I would like to know if there are any land records in the court house that would show where they may have lived. I would appreciate any contact with someone who knows of this family or related to them. Thanks in advance for your help, John

I want to thank all who have responded to my e-mail about the McFaddens at Fishing Creek. Unfortunately much of the info I have gathered for my brother-in-law has limited or no sources. But following is the family of Candour and Mary. Supposedly they both died in Chester County. Guy eventually migrated to TN and their son Candour had daughter, Mary Clementine who married James Louis Adams in TN. Their son, Candour McFadden Adams started the tradition of giving the oldest son the middle name McFadden and so here we are 3 generations later in 1979. (My nephew has yet to marry or have a male descendant). -Karen 1. Candour MCFADDEN (b.1710-Ireland) sp: Mary GUY (b.1731-Ireland) 2. Issac MCFADDEN (b.1753-Ireland;d.09 Dec 1820) sp: Elizabeth STEELE (b.Abt 1762;d.28 Jun 1802-South Carolina) sp: Mary ADAMS (d.18 Jun 1830) 2. Mary MCFADDEN (b.11 Dec 1757-Ireland;d.28 Jun 1836-Stewart County,TN) sp: Samuel MCKINNEY (b.1742;m.1779;d.1797-Rock Creek,Chester,SC) 2.

Does someone on the list have a picture of the Fishing Creek Church that could be shared to a private e-mail address? I would be most appreciative, if so.

Dorothy, there are no FOSTERs listed. There are seven THOMPSON names listed: Christopher Strait, John, John Mills, Mary, Patsy, Rachel, and Sarah Linn. On April 8 1810 John THOMPSON presented Christopher Strait for baptism. On Sept 9 1810 John THOMPSON presented John Mills and Rachel for baptism. ON Nov 10 1811 John THOMPSON presented Sarah Linn and Patsy for baptism. Between Apr 1815 and Apr 1816 1816 a Mary THOMPSON was admitted to the church on examination and between Apr 1831 and Apr 1832 a Mary THOMPSON was dismissed from the church. This includes everything listed for the THOMPSON name There are quite a few BROWN names. These are from the visitation lists of 1776: 1) Walter and Margaret BROWN with children John and Jennet; 2) Alexander and Agnes BROWN with children John and Samuel and what seems to be 2 others in the household, Mary and Agnes HENRY; 3) Alexander BROWN Jnr and Jennet BROWN. The only mention of a Joseph is as the father in cemetery records and doesn't show "Colonel". It is: "Sarah BROWN, daughter of Joseph & Mary, Died Jan 10 1791." The only Elizabeth is one who became a member of the church "on examination" in 1801. No other Browns listed with her so she may have married a Brown and joined his church. There are several more listings for BROWN. If any of these mean anything to you and you want to pursue the others, let me know.

A.Nelson is listed in the 1860 census of Cedar Shoals, Chester Co., SC and was also in Co.D, 17th Regiment, SC Infantry, CSA Military in 1862. He was married to Lydia Horton. They had several children, including William who married Nancy Gladden around 1869 in Chester County. William and Nancy moved to Arkansas at some point, but I have no information on that. Don't have any info on when A.Nelson or Lydia passed away....any information on either of these families would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am working on my ANDERSON family of Chester County and Fairfield County, SC, and would love to hear from anyone with any kind of connection to these folks. Here is a bit of info: Thomas ANDERSON, born 1832 in Maryland, married in 1858 to Nancy Jane RICHARDSON (b 1836 in SC). They have three sons, all born in Simpson Community of Fairfield County, SC: Samuel John ANDERSON (b 1858) James Reuben ANDERSON (b 1862) Joel Thomas ANDERSON (b 1865) Widowed mother and two youngest sons are found on 1880 Fairfield Co census living next door to her mother and younger sister. Nancy Jane RICHARDSON is the daughter of Abram Boity RICHARDSON and his wife Nancy (unk surname). Thomas ANDERSON is said to have died 1877, and wife died 1884. We know of no burial site for these folks. Eldest son Samuel John ANDERSON lived in New York City nearly all of his adult life, and apparently never married. At his death in 1933, he was brought home to SC and buried in Richardson cemetery in Fairfield County, SC. It has been said that youngest son Joel Thomas ANDERSON wed twice. First wife is reported to be Ella GRIST. No information is known and apparently no children (I would like to know more!). Second wife is Julia Catherine ALBRIGHT and they had three children. Joel and Julia are buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Chester. James Reuben ANDERSON married Bertha Monteith HOAGLAND and they resided in Chester County, seven children. Both are buried at Chester's Evergreen Cemetery. Is there a connection to the Thomas Anderson, age 65, on the 1860 Chester county census? He is living with Nancy (age 36), Hiram J (age 18), Eliza J (16), Nancy M. (14), Jonathan S (10), Jno Wesley (7) and Elizabeth M (3/12). Many Questions!!!!! Would be very interested in corresponding with anyone with any kind of connection to any of these ANDERSON, RICHARDSON, GRIST, ALBRIGHT, HOAGLAND. I will answer all inquiries. Thank you, Jonnie in SC [email protected] Researching Anderson, Britton, Cockfield, Coward, Cox, Curlee, Cushman, Davenport, Denoon, Flynn, Fox, Gordon, Haynes, Herron, Hoagland, Holton/m, Howie/Howey, Hutto, James, Keeter, Key, Kirk, Lamb, Lee, Lewis, Ligon, McCutcheon, McGee, McGuinn, Monteith, Myers/Meyers, Owens, Padgett, Perkinson, Perry, Redd, Renew, Richardson, Searcy, Weeks, Woodward, and many more!

I can tell you one person who went to Bradley County,Arkansas and that was Green Stephenson 1821-1875, son of John Stephenson and Eleanor Cooper Stephenson. John Stephenson 1785-1845 was the son of Robert Stephenson and Jane Barron of York County,S.C. Mr. Elmer O. Parker was a descendent of the this John Stephenson and I am a descendent of John Stephenson's brother, Samuel Stephenson b. 1795 to Robert Stephenson and Jane Barron. I corresponded with Mr. Parker for about ten years. He wrote that Green Stephenson sold his inheritance and went to Bradley County,Arkansas to work on the plantation of a James M. Gill in the 1850's. When the Civil War broke out Green joined the 2nd Arkansas Infantry,but was soon discharged because of health. I don't know if Green Stephenson was on a wagon train that went to Bradley County,Arkansas,but according to the late Mr. Parker he went to that county. Mr. Parker was related to Coopers and Walkers in Chester County,S.C. I need some help with John Stephenson or Stevenson who settled on Bullock's Creek in what is now York County,S.C. in 1762. Mr. Parker was never able to determine where John Stephenson lived before coming to York County,S.C,nor do we know the maiden name of John's wife Jane or Jean. Mr. Parker thought that he might have been the John Stephenson and his wife Jane James who sold some land in Augusta County,VA. to William Ramsey in 1752. After John Stephenson died his wife Jane married Alexander Fleming in York County,S.C. about 1773. Alexander Fleming bought from Joseph Kuykendall 285 acres near a stream the flowed from north to south on the south fork of Fishing Creek. Alexander Fleming was killed in the American Revolution and I believe Jane Fleming appears on the 1790 census of Chester County,S.C. as the "Widow Fleming". Jane Stephenson Fleming died in 1793. I am looking for documents which mention Stephensons,Stevensons,Stinsons in Chester County,S.C. and Lancaster County,S.C. and which might mention a John Stephenson and his wife Jane or Jean. Mr. Parker believed that John Stephenson came down the Old Wagon Road to S.C. and not by ship as some of the early Stephensons settled in Chester Co,S.C. Any help is appreciated.

Hey, Margie I noticed that your last name is JACKSON-I have been trying to get info on a MARY (POLLY) JACKSON who married DANIEL WORTHY in 1840-they were from Chester. One of their daughter's names was: SARAH,called SALLEY or SALLY. POLLY seems to have passed away after 1880 and DANIEL died after 1910 in WOODRUFF, SC. They kept moving between CHESTER, UNION and WOODRUFF-would appreciate any info on the WORTHY and JACKSON FAMILIES. Thanks, Mary Louise Worthy P.S. This is actually for my husband-EDDY WORTHY-I am researching his family-I have found a good bit on the WORTHY'S but am at a dead end with the JACKSON'S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [SCCHEST2] Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church & Cemetery > Apologies to all.

Would too like to have some information about the church and if in their minutes they have the names of the listed persons who became part of the wagon train of Presbyterians bound to SE Arkansas and the County of Bradley. We have always wondered who all was apart of the wagon trains, and because they started two churches that we know of in the 1850's; it would be great if someone has some of the old minute books.

Apologies to all. I thought an earlier message with this information was sent to the List but have realized it was only to an individual. The information I have is from the book, "Early Records of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church - Chester County, South Carolina - 1799-1895", compiled by Brent H. Holcomb and Elmer O. Parker. It was published in 1991 by Heritage Books, Inc. and is composed almost entirely of copies of the actual records. The only exception is the listing of cemetery records. I don't know if this book is still available but if it is and you had family in the Fishing Creek area it might be well worth having. I will be glad to do look-ups if you think your family might be in these records. Melissa, there is no listing for WATERS and only one in the cemetery listings for: "Michael STEEDMAN (no "a"), Died Aug. 2, 1835.in his 79rh year." I do know there are errors in the spelling of some names in these records. For example, there is a Jon (Jonathan) 'WALLIS' with all family members spelled the same way throughout the records. It has been determined that this person is Jonathan WALLACE through later records of his, his wife's and his children's names.
