I've read that Rev. Simpson supplied Rev. Martin's Catholic Presbyterian Church after Martin was arrested by Cornwallis after he preached a sermon encouraging his congregation to fight against the British. He was gone till war's end. The men from the church formed 2 companies and went off to fight. Wm Stormont's name was not on the monument, but the book Revolutionary Soldiers of Catholic Presbyterian Church by Mary Wylie Strange, 1946 & 1978 says: "This Wm. Storment who died Oct 10, 1794, aged 50 years, was a member of Catholic and sleeps in the churchyard there. His name should have been on the memorial stone. It is deeply regretted that his excellent service was not established in time to place it there." Billy Kennedy's book, Scots-Irish in the Carolinas lists William Starmount as being on the list of Revolutionary soldiers of the church.

This congregation was comprised primarily of Scotch-Irish settlers who migrated to the area from Pennsylvania and Virginia in the early 1750's.(63) About 2 miles southeast of Catholic Presbyterian a fiery minister named William Martin ministered a small congregation of Covenanters at Rocky Creek Presbyterian Church. Martin led five shiploads of immigrants from northern Ireland to South Carolina in 1772, and after debarking, these new arrivals fanned out into the Backcountry and settled along the tributaries of the Broad and Catawba Rivers. These Covenanters were descendants of Scottish Presbyterian who swore blood oaths of "covenants" during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to oppose what they perceived as Church of England heresies, which included accepting the king of England as head of the church. Of all the Protestants immigrants from the north of Ireland, they were th! e most averse to English dominance of church and state. Like Simpson, Martin also occasionally supplied at Catholic Presbyterian.(64)" Footnotes: (60) Elizabeth F. Ellet, The Women of the American Revolution (61) Bobby G.

These are notes for Peter Culp and his wife Elizabeth Ferguson taken from Robert J. Stevens book "Captain Bill, Book 3": "Peter fought in the Cherokee (French-Indian) War in SC in 1763 and was the bearer of a letter from Rev. William Richardson of Chester County to Colonel Richard Richardson of the SC Militia, then stationed in Camden. The Shawnee Indians had invaded the area and killed King Haigler, Chief of the Catawba Indians who were friendly to the white settlers. The letter asked for military help (a scout) and included the following: "Peter Culp the bearer is an active young man, a good woodsman and we expect his Excelly will promote him to what Comm. He pleases over the Scout" In 1781, Peter Culp served in the SC Militia during the Revolution as a foot and horse soldier for a total of fifty-three days under Captain George Neely in Colonel Richard Lacey's Regiment, supplying his own horse and gun." I have a copy from the Gen Acct of South Carolina, audited for Rev War Service #AA1683 Peter Culp, This paper shows a date of 21 May 1785 and that he was eligible to be paid 29 pounds, one shilling and five pence for his service on 21 May 1787. >From the book "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" by Bobby Filmer Moss, Limestone College, published by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1983: page 223: Peter Culp Served under Capts.

I wonder if you might help me find a Kerr (Gladney descendant) who married an Arnette. For a few years now, I searched for descendants of Lemuel (or Samuel) H. Arnette and Elizabeth A. Kerr. I felt compelled to write to you because you mention both ARNETT and GLADNEY.? Elizabeth A. Kerr was a daughter of Hugh and Jane Kerr.? (Three of her siblings married Gladneys)? She was born in 1810 and died in 1862 and?is buried in Bethsalem Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Choctaw Co., Mississippi.? She mrd Lemuel H. Arnett abt 1835-1838.? He was born abat 1813 in SC.? I believe he was the son of James Arnett. Elizabeth and Lemuel had five children: William J. (b. abt 1838), Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" (b. abt 1840), George (b. abt 1843), Ellen ( b. abt 1844), and Sarah (b. 1848). After her death in 1862, her husband and children were reported to have moved to Tipton Co., TN.? However, I've seen censuses that have listed Lemuel Arnett in Oktibbeha Co., MS. Of the children: William mrd Nancy COOK in 1860. Mollie - No further info. George - No further info. Ellen - Have found record of an Ellen ARNETT who mrd Hugh MORRISON in TN, but no proof of a connection. Sarah - No further info. If any of this info will tied into yours, I'd be pleased to exchange info, although the above is most of what I have on this line.? I am descended from a brother (Charles KERR) of Elizabeth's who mrd Nancy Matilda GLADNEY.

The Edward Arnett & Cathrine Querns Arnett tree. Appears some Arnett of that ilk lived in Chester, or Fairfield. Edward had his plat in Abbeville off the Tyger R./ Tiger River? Someplace near the fork. They regularly crossed the Savannah in their lives. The Three Nephews of John Querns, one was William Arnett.. the branch I had found. William is buried in Lincolnton, Ga. I think. After some Gladney move to east Alabama & are founders of Randolph County, they married descendants from that same Arnett tree. Appears they knew each others families a few generations. And, the Arnetts may have even come from Maryland with, or knew the Feasters & Colemans from Maryland. --- Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

It is Antioch Methodist Church. From all the information I have seen, the site of the first Beaver Creek Church is likely up near the other (east end) of Dave Jenkins Rd. and then south in the woods somewhere. I know this area very well as I was raised about three miles from there. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
