Apologies to all. I thought an earlier message with this information was sent to the List but have realized it was only to an individual. The information I have is from the book, "Early Records of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church - Chester County, South Carolina - 1799-1895", compiled by Brent H. Holcomb and Elmer O. Parker. It was published in 1991 by Heritage Books, Inc. and is composed almost entirely of copies of the actual records. The only exception is the listing of cemetery records. I don't know if this book is still available but if it is and you had family in the Fishing Creek area it might be well worth having. I will be glad to do look-ups if you think your family might be in these records. Melissa, there is no listing for WATERS and only one in the cemetery listings for: "Michael STEEDMAN (no "a"), Died Aug. 2, 1835.in his 79rh year." I do know there are errors in the spelling of some names in these records. For example, there is a Jon (Jonathan) 'WALLIS' with all family members spelled the same way throughout the records. It has been determined that this person is Jonathan WALLACE through later records of his, his wife's and his children's names.
