On pg 160 from "Captain Bill, Vol 3" by Robert Stevens he is talking about Mary Culp (Hans Caspers daughter) and her husband William Taylor..."It is not known when William F. Taylor came into early Chester District but he received a 100 acre grant of land in 1864, (sic - his typo, should be 1764), indicating that he was then single. That land was on Tinker's Creek, a branch of Fishing Creek and very close to the homes of Hans Casper Culp, Henry Culp, Augustian Culp, and Barbara Culp McKinney." In "Capt Bill Vol 3" by Robert Stevens states on page 163 (here he is speaking of Barbara Culp McKinney) "She married William McKinney, born 1729 in VA, died 4/27/1785. He was a brother of James McKinney and both had come to present Chester County from Virginia. In youth the two brothers had been hired by a horse drover to help drive horses to SC. Later, they entered into the business on their own and finally settled on Fishing Creek. William McKinney's father was a Scotsman that had come to America from England and settled in VA. William McKinney seems to have been a very highly educated man and he became a much sought after legal advisor of the area, a "backwoods lawyer," when the closest such was in Charlestown, some two hundred miles and a week away. His name is found in many deeds and estates of the area and, in fact, many of the originals were penned by him. The home he built on Fishing Creek was marked on old maps as close to (upper) Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church and the home stood until after the middle of this century when it was demolished for building material. On 11 August 1774, William McKinney bought 100 acres of land from Christopher Strait that included the church, adjacent to the former land of Hans Casper Culp, so he actually owned the most famous Landmark of Chester County today! There is a William McKinney from the present Chester County area recorded as a Revolutionary soldier, but he was undoubtedly William McKinney, Jr. (CI5). There can be no doubt, however that William McKinney was an American Patriot during that conflict." Now as for this statement...The home he built on Fishing Creek was marked on old maps as close to (upper) Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church and the home stood until after the middle of this century when it was demolished for building material. On 11 August 1774, William McKinney bought 100 acres of land from Christopher Strait that included the church, adjacent to the former land of Hans Casper Culp, so he actually owned the most famous Landmark of Chester County today! As far as I can tell (upper) Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church refers to the church that is still in operation and is still called that name. I believe that lower Fishing Creek Church was destroyed. Hans Casper Kolb/Kulp/Culp bought 987 acres about the same time he sold the land that was next to Christopher Strait. I have 2 maps that were drawn by Elmer Oris Parker of the area & I don't find the McKinney plots on them. I do see the land of Henry Culp marked so the McKinney property mus t be nearby. I will be happy to share those maps if anyone wants to look at them email me directly at bepstein@sc.rr.com I googled Simpson's Shoals & there are no returns for that. Bev Culp Epstein
