Robert, Hmmm. I'm researching some Johnstons, Youngs, and others who lived along the North and Middle Forks of the Saluda River in north Greenville District in the same time frame you mentioned. They were Baptists, but in my limited understanding, many of these were not called Primitive Baptists until later. I read from church histories in this corner of the Carolinas that a great Baptist revival swept this region about 1803/1804 and resulted in a number of new churches both in this region and particularly in Greenville District. Sadly, I also read about an economic downturn that came through this same region about 1808 and sent many of these same people moving away to greener pastures. My ancestor, Rev. John F. Young, left north Greenville District about 1812 and was shortly thereafter a Primitive Baptist preacher in southeast KY. Three of his daughters married three JOHNSTON brothers who also lived along the North and Middle Forks of the Saluda, and they all moved about 1818 to southeast KY, too. I particularly noted any Johnstons mentioned in church histories of this neighborhood during 1795 to 1818. I can site my sources about church histories of this area, if you like, and then you can request them via interlibrary loan. What the others told you about church marriage records is also sadly true. But, most of all, I want VERY much to hear about your Primitive Baptists along the North Fork of the Saluda River 1790-1810. What were the surnames? If it is Johnston, have I got some surprises for you! I have also done some research among my Johnstons' and Youngs' other neighbors of this same period in this same area. Shall we compare notes?
