Many of the original Scotch-Irish were Presbyterians and started many of the early churches in PA, NC, SC and GA.....from my research some whole congregations came over to US together and formed soem of the early communities..........they tended to stay close to each other as most were related and if they relocated.............they ALL would move together. One case in the Fleming line when they left the frontier of PA and relocated down in safer areas of York Co. SC and first thing, established the Bethesda Presbyterian Church in MCConnells, SC.......most members are same ones who all came over together. One our trip recently to NI we went to a Presbyterian Church in CO. Tryrone where it is bellieved my Flemings were living and attending church. Many of the families connected to ours had loved ones in the cemetary. Only problem is not many records from 1720-30s exist. All have been burned in wars etc. Good idea to look in those records if available..
