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.

Probably Cousin Patrick actually. He's the active Coxe researcher in Marlboro. Our Coxe line comes from John James Coxe born April 28, 1828 near Brownsville. -Tammy Cox ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Vincent <billvinc@bcpl.net> To: <SCMARLBO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 11:56 PM Subject: Re: [SCMARLBO-L] [Fwd: Brownsville Baptist Church & Rev.
