I'll just add to John Caldwell's answer a word about the Brick Church (Rocky Creek Meeting House) cemetery. There are a number of burials there, but only five with headstones: five pastors who served the congregation. Unless you're descended from one of those five pastors, you'll not find anything helpful by visiting the cemetery (and you'll save yourself a lot of mosquitos!). The other burials were marked only with fieldstones. I'm positive that my ancestors Adam Edgar and his wife are buried there, as they belonged to that church and in fact deeded the land for the church and burial ground out of their "plantation" (i.e., small farm); but there is no inscribed stone to say so. I doubt that there were any burials as late as 1824/34, as the Rocky Creek church closed well before that; the members had nearly all emigrated further west and north. Robert M.

It is supposedly eight or nine miles from Chester. Would that be east? Does it have a highway number now? Also, where is the "Old Brick Covenanter Church", which has a graveyard? Is that the same as "Old Catholic"? Also, where is the Rocky Creek Church? Is that just an abandoned graveyard now? I have the topo maps of the area and would like to pinpoint these places. I'm looking for the graves of my Telfords, who died in 1824 and 1834. They lived in the Rocky Creek area.
