Dear List, Does anyone know anything abou the Primitive Baptist Churches that were located in the Greenville District between 1790 - 1810? What were the names of these churches and were any of them close to the Saluda River, especially near the North Fork of the Saluda River? I'm trying to tract down the Primitive Baptist Church my ancestors attended to see what records may be available during this time frame. I'm especially interested in any Marriage records these churches might have kept since Greenville County never recorded Marriages until the 20th century, what I'm told. Thanking you in advance, Robert C. Johnston, Jr. 139 Eagle Creek Drive Wetumpka, AL 36092 USA rcj@mindspring.com

Hi: You might check the resources of Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC.....they have the early church registers in their archive collection. I have emailed them and they were most kind and helpful. When I went down to check the old church records the lady stayed with me & pulled down the books, film, etc. for me to see. I think you can email library@bju.edu & find out who to contact. Also, the Greenville Library has most of the film & copies of the old church records. Bob Jones is a Baptist University and all Baptist records go to them for archives... Hope this helps...

Hi, I thought all records went to Furman, not Bob Jones. Furman I believe was Southern Baptist and Bob Jones Independent Baptist. I maybe wrong.
