There were at least two other early churches in Flat Creek. One was Flat Creek, Pastor N. Fall at PO Taxahaw, Clerk, MC Gardner at PO Flat creek constituted 1776. The other was Mt. Pisgah, Pastor D B Smith at PO Mount Croghan and Clerk DL Blackwell at PO Flat Creek constituted 1838. They were both part of the Moriah Baptist Association in 1887 . Furman University has microfilms of some church records and will loan them out through interlibrary loan. I have used them and it works well. As of 1993 microfilms for: Lancaster Co. churches are: Beaver Creek, Flint Ridge, Heath Srpings; Lancaster First; New Hope and Pleasant Dale. Kershaw Co. churches are: Bethesda; Blaney; Camden First; Hermitage; Kershaw Second; Mount Pisgah. Chesterfield Co.churches are: Cheraw, Cross Roads; Elizabeth; Jefferson; Macedonia; Providence; Ruby; Thompson Creek. If anyone is interested in churches on microfilm for other counties, I have the 1993 list they put out. Barbara, CA

The book Baptist Churches in SC Prior to 1805 (SC Baptists 1670-1805) is in the Pomona Public Library, Pomona, CA. I doubt if they will loan it out but may be willing to search something for you. Sorry, I don't have the address but it shouldn't be hard to find. There is an interesting map of churches in the book.

Bill, I am trying to locate marriage information from SC(Lancaster County) for William Joseph Helton born 1799 to Elizabeth Moore born about 1800. They married about 1822. They were very active members of the Philadelphia Baptist Church in Monroe County, Al but I do not know which Baptist Church in SC. If you see their names in the records you possess, I would appreciate the information.

Bil, Thanks, I'll check into it. Bill

Bil, I would appreciate her name/address if you can find it. Since this is for the cemetery there, would you happen to know if the other records for that church are available anywhere? I am also looking for marriages, and any announcements of births. Bill

Flat Creek Church is mentioned on page 153 of Leah Townsend's book "South Carolina Baptists 1670-1805" it was called Upper Fork of Lynches Creek. Theres a lot more with a large number of references on pages 96 through at least 101. But no roster of members. Gerald

Does anyone know if there was, at one time, a Baptist Church in the Flat Creek area, and if the records for it are still around? I had family in that area from the mid-1700s on thru the 1800s and am hoping to be able to find some records of them. Bill

Reverend William Figuars Brasington and his second son, Reverend James Thomas Brasington, married Lancaster Baptist couples from 1832 until well into the 1880's. I have run across some couples but there must have been lots more. If your family tree contains any couple so joined, I would love to know who, when, and where. A source of such knowledge would also be appreciated. I would like to add as many as possible to the next printing of the Brasington Family History.

Folks! Get a Mac and sleep well. LP

I apologize for sending that last message thru the list. I meant for it to go straight to Bil, but messed it up. Bill

Dear Kinseeker, I had repeated freeze ups and crashes on my Pentium 200 computer. I had Windows 95 then 98 and no help. Had to clean out my registers over and over. Last month I upgraded to MS Office 2000 Premium and that ended the problem. They did something to fix it. I previously was having trouble especially with E-Mail. It would never work without freezing up unless I went directly to E-Mail when I first booted (or rebooted). Now it works perfect. I am sure the just plain Office 2000 without the premium would work likewise. Helen [email protected]

Bill, What do you mean in Paragraph 2 when you say "if you have a 386, etc. and use your machine for word processing and the internet sleep well tonight. I have tested over 100 486 and 386 class machines and have never found one that would pass Y2K." Should there be a "not" in that last sentence?

Bil, Thanks for the tip. I'll get my buddy to come down and do this for me. I'm not overly confident about "doing" things in there. 'N don't worry about them idjits out there that feel that they're know-it-all's. There's always gonna be that 10%. Speaking of techie stuff. I don't know if you can answer this or not from there without seeing the 'puter. A few weeks back I had a full crash. My buddy had to reformat the system and reload everything. Since then, I have no sound on the system at all. Any ideas or suggestions about how to get the sounds back again? Bill

In responce to my Y2K WIN95 Tip? message, I was critized by a self-styled expert in the field. Since I make a living in the PC market as opposed to a hobbiest, let me make a few things clear: 1) for the one or more persons who read my post and got from it that it was a Y2K fix all, EXCUSE ME. There is no single Y2K fix. Every application has exposure. 2) If you own a 486 or prior Intel chip (386, 286 or 8088), your machine itself is about 99% certain to be a problem. No matter that your software works, the machine may very well give you bad data. It will NOT properly process certain applications after 31 Dec 1999. I will not go into the details but if you use your machine for WordProcessing and the Internet, sleep well tonight. I have tested over 100 486 and 386 class machines and have never found one that would pass Y2K. 3) If you have a Pentium machine, your chances are 99% in your favor. I have tested over 300 Pentium machines and found no failures. 4) If you are running a nonIntel chip machine, the initial savings at purchase may or may not bite you. 5) You have a risk with every program that you run. If you depend upon the program to any extent, make sure you are at current release before year end. It increases the chance that the software publisher has resolved the problem. If you call in Jan without a problem with the program and you are not at current release, chances are extremely high that you will be told to upgrade to current release where the problem has been fixed (even if it has not). Be current, be safe. 6) Date not important? Set your system date on 12 31 99 to 12 31 71. 1972 mimicks 2000 and while it is 28 years off, the system will work fine. Next time I come across any information which may minimize the Y2K exposure, I will keep to myself to insure that I do not confuse those members of the list who are far more expert than I.

I was given this tidbit of Y2K information for my computer. I thought I would pass it on...... If running Windows, this is a fix for a small Y2K problem that will cause your computer to fail. This is so simple yet every installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail the Y2K rollover simply because of the number of digits indicated in this setting. 1. Double click on "My Computer" 2. Double click on "Control Panel" 3. Double click on "Regional Settings" 4. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page 5. In "Short Date Sample" the year is more than likely a two digit year. Click on the select down arrow button and select the option that shows mm/dd/yyyy. (This date setting is the date that feeds application software and WILL NOT roll over in the year 2000, it will roll over to 00 if left with two yy's) 6. Click on "Apply" and then on "OK" THAT'S IT!!!!! Such a simple exercise.......I would never have known to change this. I hope it helps you too. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
