I am trying to identify some people with the same or almost the same given and surnamed and could sure use some help. These people are most likely related and or may be the same people. I find them in Marlboro and Chesterfield Counties in the censuses. They are: 1870 Census, Chesterfield County, Cheraw Twp. J. (John ?) Rosco age 35 male white Laborer born in S.C. M. (Martha ?)

Hi guys, I've got some "James" kinFolks in the ole Welch Church........ Love Ya James Gang!! Here On " Rocky-Top " http://community.webtv.net/wmandirby/FallenLeavesand

Hi y'all, Janet asked about church records and while we don't have nearly enough of them online, there are several pages on the Marlboro County web site on the history of the Welsh Neck Baptist Church, established 1737 by Welsh immigrants from Pencader, Delaware, as well as a few others. The pages on Welsh Neck Baptist include some very nice work done a few years ago by fellow Marlboro researcher, Glenn Pearson. Glenn abstracted data from the early Minutes of Welsh Neck Baptist, where Rev. Brown was apparently pastor for a brief period, and these old church Minutes make for interesting and lively reading. Church members were called on the carpet for all kinds of things -- excessive drinking, abusive language, beating up the neighbor, a female selling liquor at a horse race, wives queried on why they aren't living with their husbands. The Minutes note that some folks repented, some didn't. You can almost hear one fellow telling the Church to buzz off when he was repeatedly asked to repent. For better or for worse, these notes add flavor and dimension to many of our family histories, and I'm very grateful to Glenn for sharing his research with us. You can find the Marlboro web site at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~scmarlbo/ Cheers, Victoria

Jeff, Is the Pat Coxe that you mention either Pat Barringer Coxe who married Marshall Taylor Ware in 1960 or her mother with the same married name?

I have not visited there personally yet, but have heard from others who have. I have a photo of the minute book(book is in poor condition) somewhere on my old computer. I'll try to dig it up with some notes from those minutes. There is some fascinating reading from that time regarding alcohol, betting on horse racing, etc.. The first pastor was sent from Cashway to Catfish, by delegates from Welsh Neck when it was determined he wouldn't abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages. This is when associate pastor Rev. Brown was made pastor of Cashway. The land for the church was given by Rev. John Brown to the church at Cashway(county records prior to 1785 will be in archives in Columbia). The second site for the church (Muddy Creek) was also surrounded by land of Rev. Brown's children. There are surveys in the courthous! > e of their land (showing two story houses) from about 1810. The original church building at Cashway was moved about three miles to Muddy Creek in 1788-89(the original building still bore holes in and around the shutters from musket ball shots fired in a revolutionary war skirmish at Cashway between patriots and tories).This new site was on the new road(Old River road) between Marlboro Courthouse and Marion Courthouse, which were formed as counties in1785. The second site was purchased in 1788, for ten shillings sterling for one acre on "Cleveland Hill". This site is now known as Rogers Cemetery.I have a copy of the deed at my office, and I'm recalling this from memory. I got the New Jersey info from Coxe family genealogical records, via Pat Coxe. My Great Great Grandmother is said to be a Rebecca Coxe Sawyer, wife of Levi Sawyer. She is apparently descended from Emanuel Coxe, per Pat Coxe, so we appear to be cousins. > > Cousin Jeff > > Janet wrote: > > >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > >--------------BFCF8A997F0DBBE251550CCD > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > > > > > >--------------BFCF8A997F0DBBE251550CCD > >Content-Type: message/rfc822 > >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >Content-Disposition: inline > > > >X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 > >Message-ID: <3D749C15.1E51C0D5@gte.net> > >Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2002 07:25:10 -0400 > >From: Janet <janet.l.shearer@gte.net> > >X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (Win95; U) > >X-Accept-Language: en > >MIME-Version: 1.0 > >To: SCMARLBORO-L@rootsweb.com > >Subject: Brownsville Baptist Church & Rev.

Hi Janet, The original minutes back to 1756 are in archives at Furman (Baptist) University. They have archived records for many very old baptist churches in the southeast. I have not visited there personally yet, but have heard from others who have. I have a photo of the minute book(book is in poor condition) somewhere on my old computer. I'll try to dig it up with some notes from those minutes. There is some fascinating reading from that time regarding alcohol, betting on horse racing, etc.. The first pastor was sent from Cashway to Catfish, by delegates from Welsh Neck when it was determined he wouldn't abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages. This is when associate pastor Rev. Brown was made pastor of Cashway. The land for the church was given by Rev. John Brown to the church at Cashway(county records prior to 1785 will be in archives in Columbia). The second site for the church (Muddy Creek) was also surrounded by land of Rev. Brown's children. There are surveys in the courthous! e of their land (showing two story houses) from about 1810. The original church building at Cashway was moved about three miles to Muddy Creek in 1788-89(the original building still bore holes in and around the shutters from musket ball shots fired in a revolutionary war skirmish at Cashway between patriots and tories).This new site was on the new road(Old River road) between Marlboro Courthouse and Marion Courthouse, which were formed as counties in1785. The second site was purchased in 1788, for ten shillings sterling for one acre on "Cleveland Hill". This site is now known as Rogers Cemetery.I have a copy of the deed at my office, and I'm recalling this from memory. I got the New Jersey info from Coxe family genealogical records, via Pat Coxe. My Great Great Grandmother is said to be a Rebecca Coxe Sawyer, wife of Levi Sawyer. She is apparently descended from Emanuel Coxe, per Pat Coxe, so we appear to be cousins.
