The following is quoted from "The Day it Rained Militia" by Michael C. Scoggins, pg. 30: "Others families in the area belonged to the congregation at Upper Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church, also known as Simpson's Meeting House, founded in 1755 and located just south of the province line. A large community of Scotch-Irish settlers lived in the area around this church, most of whom migrated to the area from Pennsylvania. Throughout the years of the Revolution, Reverend John Simpson led this congregation and encouraged his constituents to support the cause of independence. Of Scotch-Irish ancestry himself, Simpson was a native of New Jersey, was a graduate of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and moved to South Carolina in 1773. Simpson also supplied the congregations at Bethesda Presbyterian Church, located on the South Fork of Fishing Creek in the New Acquisition, and at Lower Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church, located near the modern town of Lewisville ! in what is now Chester County. The two Fishing Creek congregations included members of the interrelated Gaston, McClure and Strong families, all staunch Whigs.(60) Among the early militia captains in the upper Fishing Creek community were Joseph Brown, Michael Dickson, Alexander Pagan and Philip Walker, who owned Walkers Mill, later known as White's Mill, where the town of Lando is now situated.(61) Brown and Dickson(or Dixon) were Camden District justices of the peace and served in the Provincial Congress; Brown also served in the General Assembly.(62) Simpson also supplied Catholic Presbyterian Church, located further to the south on Rocky Creek. 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."
