OH......let me express that I so far can't see anything regaring his property but maybe someone can figure it out by some of the other neighboring names.

William Martin's church on Rocky Creek Nancy - good questions and good email. Hope someone replies with some good answers! I still have heard nothing from the Richburg High School principle. When Jerry and I start driving up to our daughter's new home in SE VA (probably about Aug.) think I will stop by his school, or home, and talk to him face-to-face - and anyone else I can think of that might know something. Any suggestions of who else? Joe ----------------------------------------------------------------- In a message dated 5/5/2009 11:53:16 P.M.

Was it on his property? An article by Jim Knox on The President's Page in the Chester District Genealogical Society Bulletin for March 2008 states that Union A.R.P. Church in Richburg is an outgrowth of Rev. Martin's "Rocky Creek Meeting House". In an issue of the Bulletin several years ago it was stated that the graveyard at the Rev. Martin's church was called the "Talford" Graveyard (spelling should be Telford). I am looking for the graves of Joseph (died 1824) and Rachel Telford, who arrived in 1771 from Ireland, and received land on Rocky Creek. Also for the graves of their son Samuel Telford and his wife, Margaret McCreary (both died 1834). We have been to the site of the Rev. Martin's gravestone and marker, on his property. There is no evidence of other graves there. Is there a plat map (around 1772 - 1835) of the Rocky Creek - Beaver Dam Creek area, with the names of the owners of the land? Thanks for any information.
