Jane I checked the Woodward Baptist Church cemetery list and did not find any WHITTEDs listed. However, on page 299 of ''Colvin and Allied Families'' by Ethelle and Baker Colvin, Hurley Printing & Stationery Co., El Dorado, AR ....... there is yet another spelling* [probably transcription error] of your ''Nazerus'' Whitted >> The Chester [SC] News October 26, 1950 Dedication Service Sunday . . . . text omitted . . . . . . the history of the church . . . was written and read by Arthur Cornwell . . . . ''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 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. Tradition has it that the brick used in the present edifice was brought from England. Elder William Woodward, for whom the Woodward Baptist church was named, was the son of Thomas Woodward of Fairfield County. William Woodward was born in 1763 and died in 1820. A tablet on the walls of the church bears this inscription ''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 tablet is erected to His Memory by this church, which was planted by his instrumentality through the indulgence of a kind Providence, A D 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. . . . . text omitted . . . 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. The first pastor I can find record of was the Rev. George Washington Pickett. He was called in 1853. Mr. Pickett was born in King George County, Virginia, August 30, 1828, and died April 15, 1907. He moved to Texas in 1871. When Mr. Pickett was pastor of Woodward church he lived in the old Eli Cornwall house, which was situated on the plantation now owned by the family of Mrs. Nanie Hardin Wilks. The old Cornwall graveyard is not far from the site of this house.'' << ==END== Sorry I could not be of more help on WHITTEDs.

I no longer count on headstones for accuracy. My gg grandmother's 1855 headstone reads "Margret" and all documents found (including one written by her father) spell it with the usual 'a' (Margaret). Also, although she died before I was born, all my life I've known that my grandmother's name was Annie Belle. All of her children, including my dad knew this and talked about it often. That is what is on her marriage and death certificates. I discovered only about 3 years ago that her 1933 headstone shows "Anabell". Go figure.

Just testing my e-mail, sorry for any repeats.

I have no book but it sounds like the Covenanter Beaver Dam congregation. Their cemetery (Paul's Graveyard, aka Anderson or Lynns) is behind James Moores house on Appalkosa Ridge road about 6 or 7 miles south of Richburg. It has interrments fron at least 1785 through about 1865.I didn't look at all of the graves so I cannot say if there were any Elliots. Here's one entery from a marriage ledger in Rutherford county NC Elliott, W. W. Kerr, Loretta Mar 2, 1853 Glen Stevenson Holmen WI

If anyone has a Church and/or Cemetery book that covers a congregation or cemetery that was in existence in the Richburg/Fishing Creek/Rock Creek area in the late 1700s and early 1800s I would greatly appreciate if you would check to see if there are any Elliotts/Eliot/etc. who worshiped or were buried there. I'm only interested in the late 1700s and early 1800s (before 1840) and in that general area. Thanks for your trouble. Paul R. White [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])

Dear List, Here's a letter I sent a person looking for a grave in Pauls Graveyard. Is there a volenteer in Chester county to photograph this cemetery? I would gladly photograph the whole cemetery but I live in WI and have only been in SC once and that was last year specificly to photograph the Rock gr aves. If I ever get back I will try to photograph the whole thing or at least make a transcription of the graves there. We need someone to do that who lives in SC .There are only 50 - 60 graves there off Apaloosa Ridge road about 6 miles south of Richburg. It is in the woods behind James Moores trailer house, it can be accessed by going into James neighbors house and asking permission. This family is also named Moore. We tried there because James Moore wasn't home and we didn't want to tresspass on his land without permission. Glen Stevenson Holmen WI

My opinion about Ancestry.com. There is NO WAY what they offer is worth what they charge. I certainly can't afford it. For a one year subscription to access everything, I would have to spend every waking moment researching in order to justify the cost. What fun is that?!

Hi, For those of us who live far away from primary sources, Ancestry.com is a necessary resource. Compared to the cost of traveling to the sites, it's minimal. BUT, I am concerned that they seem to be consolidating some records in so-called "new" databases and charging new fees for access. Yes, some of the materials in the new Family History database are new but many have previously been accessible as part of the general membership. SC Dept of Archives and History do a great job of providing research at a cost. My only problem with them is that they have a base charge that makes ordering 3 pages of copies cost $20. York County Historical Society has done the best job of providing copies of court records at a minimal cost. York County moved all of their old land/probate/estate records and related court cases to the Historical Museum. They have a very use-friendly website. I can do look-ups in the Chester County Tombstone Records, Hopewell Church A.R.P Cemetery and Church records, as I own copies of these books. Let me know if I can be of help.

Is it just me or what? I am having the hardest time researching Chester Co, Chester Dist - whatever it was called back in the 1800's. Everything I find seems to connect to Ancestry and I am not subscribed. What am I looking for you will ask? Anything, maps, Fishing Creek information, Post office locations as I found census information with post office names. Places to find Wills, Probate information anything online that might be helpful. I just seem to be running around in circles.
