Margie, Do you have any Browns, Thompsons or Fosters in the book? My ggg grandmother was Elizabeth Brown, a daughter of Colonel Joseph Brown. I have been trying to find more information on the Browns in that area. Many thanks, Dorothy O'Neill in MS

Bill My grandparents and other members of my family were members of Woodward Baptist Church for many years and are buried in that cemetery. the information I have on it's history comes from The Chester [SC] News, October 26, 1950 Dedication Service [by Arthur Cornwall] '' . . . . If we look back to 1789, we will see the beginning of this church, for on that date the church was constituted. The present brick building was erected in 1830. Previous to that time there were two wooden structures. The first church was down on Sandy River on land owned by Eli Cornwall. Then in 1800 it was decided to move the church to a more convenient location. The second church was built in 1803, because it was under date of October 11, 1802, the one and one-forth acre of land were purchased from John Franklin. This purchase was made by Elder William Woodward, Richard Evans, Eli Cornwell, Daniel Price, Henry Carter, Mason Huey, Jacob Dunagan, Nobley [Notely] Coates, and Neguens Whitted. These men were trustees appointed for the purpose of buying a site for the church. The amount paid to John Franklin was three hundred dollars. This deed was witnessed by Jacob Bennett and Charles Boyd. It is recorded in the office of Clerk of Court in Deed Book I, pages 111, 112 and 113 under date of October 11, 1802. It is, therefore, probably that the second wooden church was a temporary structure - serving until a brick church could be built. This second wooden church was erected beyond the cemetery in the direction of Chester. Traditions has it that the brick used in the present edifice was brought from England. Elder William Woodward, for whom the Woodard Baptist church was named, was the son of Thomas Woodward of Fairfield County. William Woodward was born 1763 and died 1820. A tablet on the walls of the church bears this inscriptions: 'October 1830, Sacred to the memory of Elder William Woodward, who departed this life in the year of our Lord 1820, on the 23rd day of July; Aged 57 years, 9 months and 18 days. This table is erected to His Memory by this church, which was planted by his instrumentality through the indulgence of a kind Providence, AD 1789. He was, also the means of planting some, and building up many of the neighboring Baptist churches. In consideration of his many virtues this church has unanimously consented to be known for the future by the name of the Woodward Baptist Church of Christ.' . . . . . . . . The official old records of the church were unfortunately lost in a fire some years ago, when the home of Mrs. Lily Mobley Douglas burned.'' Bill ~ the Woodward Church's address of Douglas School Road is the present day address of the Woodward Baptist Church parsonage. Don't think it would have anything to do with an older or first location of that church. This is same location of the Old Douglas School House. This is where my mother b. 1909 attended school until she was 9 years old and then the family moved to Chester in 1918. Douglas School Road Ts into Ashford Road. My grandparents owned the land SE of that T. All I have on the original location of the first Woodward Church is in the above information given by Arthur Cornwall in it's church history. It is my understanding that Eli Cornwell came to SC from Dinwiddie County VA during the Rev. War and settled about six - seven miles from Chester, SC on the old Fish Dam Ferry Road. The Fish Dam Ferry Road [according to Arthur Cornwall] would now be same as West End Road in present day Chester. ~ More on Eli Cornwall from Arthur Cornwall: ''He owned land from Broad River to Cornwell Turnout.'' Note 'Fishdam Ford' is in SW corner Chester Co. From what I know of Chester County the first location of Woodward Church might have been more W to NW of the present day location. However, I am not certain. Does the above help or given anyone else an idea of first location of Woodward Baptist Church? All suggestions accepted. on this 1825 map ~ is the ''Baptist Church'' on Thompson's Rd. ~ Woodward Baptist Church? I think so. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/c/Mark-Mccullough-GA/PHOTO/0004photo.html?Welcome=1092199142 Virginia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Liles" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 10:07 AM Subject: [SCCHEST2] Woodward Church Cemetary > Woodward Church was established in Chester Co by Thomas Woodward about 1790. > The current church and cemetary is located on Ashford Rd. just above the > Little Sandy River.

Karen, without even looking I can tell you there are MANY mentions of McFADDEN in the book and most were leaders of the church. They are listed in the 1776 visitation records. The names you mention are not listed in the records, which are 1799-1859. The church was organized about 1770. Do you have any other specific names or time periods. Here is one example of a listing from a headstone: "JAMES E. McFADDEN, Died Nov 14, 1844, aged 60 years, 3 months and 17 days. A Ruling Elder of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church." His death on that date is also listed in the church records.

I am currently doing genealogy research for my brother-in-law who is a descendant of Candour McFadden and Mary Guy. I believe the McFaddens were in the Fishing Creek, SC area and had something to do with the formation of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church. If someone would be willing to look up the surname MCFADDEN in the church records I would appreciate it. -Karen in Texas

Woodward Church was established in Chester Co by Thomas Woodward about 1790. The current church and cemetary is located on Ashford Rd. just above the Little Sandy River. Just over the bridge is what is currently called Douglas School Rd. which in the 1725 Chester Co. map is in the same location of Flintons Old Rd. one of the original major roads running from northwest Chester Co. all the way to Cornwell. I also am picking up on internet searches an address for the church on Douglas School Rd. nearer to the Cornwell community. I visited the church two years ago and was told that the church was originally located somewhere else and was moved due to flooding. Most of the gravesites in the cemetary date from the early 1800's and contain McKeown, Mobley, Franklin, Trussell and other old time area families. My ancestor John Liles died in 1790, about the time of the founding of the church. I am curious if anyone knows the original location or if the church has a cemetary on the Douglas School Rd. location?

There are many PATTON and WALKER names listed on the Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church 1774-1776 visitation list of Rev. John Simpson. There is also one BARNET, with a note to see also BARNAD, of which there are 4 on that visitation list. However, there are no BARNETTs in the cemetery or other records and only one listing for "PATON". That is: "Margaret STRIGHT, alias PATON, Wife of Christopher, Died July 18, 1788, in her 35th year." The name WALKER is scattered through the records from 1799 until 1809 and also on the visitation list. Those shown in cemetery records are: "Jane Rebecca WALKER, Consort of Dr. John A., Died Mar. 23, 1847, in her 23d year." "Janet WALKER, Died Dec. 12, 1790, aged 80 years." "John WALKER, Died Oct. 24, 1802, aged 75 years." "John WALKER, Died June 16, 1792 aged 37 years." "Infant WALKER, Son of William & Jane, Died Jan. 31, 1801, aged 5 weeks."

I have gotten several responses about the photos we have and can’t connect to our family. I posted them this morning. Below are listed the ones I have not made images of yet. I was especially interested in the Infant Hart, 1902 and Frank Hart Fowler, 1905 because my gr grandmother married a Hart from Aiken County. They lived together in Chester only about a year when he deserted her. These 2 photos could be the same boy, so I assume his last name is Fowler, not Hart. Anybody have any ideas? My father said some of these people are definitely Charlotte, NC friends of his parents.

I have photos that I have scanned and will share if anyone can identify the subjects. They are scans of photos my grandmother and great grandmother kept their entire lives. Both were born in Chester, SC and moved to Charlotte, NC about 1900. I don’t know if the photos are a mixture of both of their friends or if they are just friends of my grandmother who was born in 1879. There are several more pages in the album that I will also scan at some point. I am hoping to identify some of these people. Some might be relatives for all I know.

Looking for any families that may have left Chester county in about 1805-1809 for Ohio. My family ends up in Butler County Ohio. Have been at this same place for 3 years now not knowing where exactly in SC that they came from, but it it has been highly suggested from Chester county. Their religion is to have been believed to be ARP. What church may have left that area in that time frame. Surname is "Little". Any leads would me appreciated. Do not know the fathers name, but the mothers name was Nancy Little. It looks as if Nancy and her husband have one children in SC and the remaining are born in Ohio last one being born around 1816. 1. Looking for Littles in Chester county in that time frame. 2. Others who left for Ohio. 3. What church did they attend in SC before going to Ohio. Help please, Beth Little Carr --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.

Does anyone know of any relationships between the above families in Chester Co SC????? Also........Davis, Hardin and Pressley/Pressler??? Does anyone know where the above families lived before coming to Chester Co SC????? Rachel Clarentine (sometimes called Clementine or Clemmie) Downing married 1st Moses Smith Mitchell and 2nd John Lee Scott. I know that Moses was the son of Henry Mitchell and Nancy Boyd Jones (Jones = first husband). I think that Nancy Boyd Jones' sister may have married a Smith.......can't remember and I'm doing this from memory -- which is ALWAYS a big mistake!! Anyway, John Lee Scott was the son of John Thomas Scott who married Jamima Smith. However, my understanding is that John Thomas Scott had been married a first time to the woman who was John Lee Scott's mother. And some people think she was a Harris. But I don't know that for sure. Can anyone give me more information about Skull/Scull Shoals - UNION Co - where Rachel Downing Mitchell Scott is buried? Somehow I think that the Downings must have known some of these families before the actual marriage of Rachel C and Moses Smith Mitchell. Does anyone know where these families were living before coming to CHESTER Co? Rachel C. Downing - and her mother Rachel Downing - were dismissed from Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church (CHESTER Co) in 1841. I think that James A. Downing (brother and son respectively) seems to have stayed behind and kept membership in that church. Since she was married a short time later to Moses Mitchell - I am assuming that she and her mother must have moved to where the Mitchells were living. Can anyone fill in the blanks?? Maria

Hi, I am researching the slaves that belonged to Suprey Chisholm, My great great grand father was Ned Chisholm. Around 1855 there was a wagon train that left Chester , South Carolina going to Alachua County , Florida . On this train was the Hailes, PBDudley, Chestnuts, Stringfellows, Edwards. All these folks were from Chester, County and owned slaves around 1850. In 1860 they were listed on the slave census for Alachua county. I'd like to know more about this wagon train and the rest of the people that went to Florida . I would also like to know who the Chisholm slaves were enslaved by since Suprey died in 1834. any help will be appreciated. Regards, Antoinette

I think that Nancy Boyd Jones' sister may have married a Smith..........can't remember and I'm doing this from memory --- which is ALWAYS a big mistake!! Anyway, you were right about John Lee Scott being the son of John Thomas Scott who married Jamima Smith. However, my understanding is that John Thomas Scott had been married a first time to the woman who was John Lee Scott's mother. And some people think she was a Harris. But I don't know about that. Now...........can you tell me about Skull/Scull Shoals(Union Co)where Rachel C. Downing Mitchell Scott was supposedly buried??? I spent about a week trying to track that place down about 2 years ago and never did have success. VERY frustrating!!! Somehow I think that the Downings(Dowings) must have known some of these families before the actual marriage of Rachel C. and Moses Smith Mitchell. Rachel C. Downing -- and her mother Rachel Downing - were dismissed from Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church (Chester Co)in 1841. I think that James A. Downing (brother and son respectively) seems to have stayed behind and kept membership in that church. Since she was married a short time later to Moses Mitchell -- I am assuming that she and her mother must have moved to where the Mitchells were living. Can you fill in any of the blanks???? I am copying this to the Chester and Union Co SC lists--- hope you don't mind. This subject is active in both right now. Thanks, Maria

Armenia Methodist Church , northwest of Chester in what was Baton Rouge township. Mrs. Eliza Davis Grant is buried there , died 10-19-1895. See website of Palmettoroots.org for Ainsley Grant's death list. Helen

There is no way anyone can get copies of this book............It was written by my 2xgreatuncle Will Downing for the family. I have the only copy. The things that I put in the earlier emails were just mentions. There are very few detailed references to any of these families other than what I have already written.......... Uncle Will visited with the Davis girl who had married Mr. Grant in 1918 while on a trip to Chester SC. Dora had died by that time and Mrs. Grant was very ill. I was hoping that somehow they might help someone who would recognize other names/places. Wish I had more to offer!!!! I have been trying to find out more about my Downing/Dowing family through these additional names and places. I know that James Dowing/Downing was a school teacher somewhere in Chester Co SC. He also taught at some of the old time "singing schools." His family lived on Downing Hill - five miles northwest of the town of Chester - and the land was still referred to as Downing Hill in the early 1900s by some of the locals. There was a spring nearby. The old chimney place was still standing in 1918. Will Downing (his son) attended Sandy River Academy and remembered going to Zion Church at Bullock Creek. He said he believed he had been baptized by a Mr. Bishop. By tracking ministers in that area at that time --- I finally found a Rev. Pierpont Bishop who was probably the minister that Will Downing referred to in the book. I know that there was a lawsuit brought against James Downing's sister - Rachel Clarentine - sometimes called Clementine -Downing who married 1st Moses Smith Mitchell and 2nd John Lee Scott. She was represented in this case by George and David Hardin. J.C. Lipford is also mentioned in the papers. I do have the papers connected with that lawsuit which I found in the SC archives. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Also.........I believe that Grandison Williams was probably a person in that area who ran a local school. Has anyone got any info on that???? There is one other mention of the Davis girls that I have just found...........it says that when the Downings left the Carolinas with other family/friends including Davis Boyd, Dr. Bryan and the Gastons - that two of the Davis girls (Mrs. Grant and another sister) "rode several miles with us on the way before parting." Uncle Will also says that when Mrs. Grant heard that he was in Chester SC on a visit(in 1918)- that she sent for him. That she was an earnest Christian and had him to pray with her at her bedside. Uncle Will was a Presbyterian minister. This book was written 12 years after that visit..........so that would be about 1930. Uncle Will would have been about 80 years old. I have ridden all over Chester County SC looking for these places. The ones mentioned above are all in the northwest part of the county. Peggy - I also have Lewis, Boyd, Linn and McElhenny/McElhaney lines........... Maria

Hi- Just wondering if anyone has information on the above families in Chester and surrounding counties. I have a book that says that these families all lived in close proximity in the 1800s. It also mentions a Dora Davis who Will Downing had a crush on. Also mentions that she had an older sister (name unknown) who married a Mr. Grant. Places mentioned in this book are Sandy River Academy, Zion Church at Bullock Creek, Grandison Williams school, Armenia Methodist Campground, Rev. (probably Pierpont) Bishop and Downing Hill. These are all just mentions -- but I thought that they might spark a connection for someone. Maria
