Does anyone know the location of the church that the Rev. William Martin established on Rocky Creek after his arrival from Ireland in 1772? 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.
