York, SC I am looking for information on the miller: Virgil OWEN and wife Martha E. They are listed in the census for 1840 York County and in 1850 in Madison County, GA. He gave his place of birth as SC. Is he any relation to John OWEN (s) who is listed in several court cases from 1786-1794. There is also a Abraham OWEN (s) in the 1790s. I also have a record of a Betsy OWEN married William FOREMAN in 1801. Can anyone connect these individuals?

I am looking for anyone researching the below DAVIS line.

Is William Cummins Davis the one inquired about? If so, I wrote about him in my weekly column, Nearby History, in the York section of the Charlotte Observer. REV. WILLIAM CUMMINS DAVIS In York's Rose Hill Cemetery there is a tombstone that reads: In memory of Rev. William C. Davis Founder of the Independent Presbyterian Church Who was born, 16 Decr. 1760 and died 28 Sept 1831 age 70 years 9 mos and 12 days." The marker gives no hint of the stormy career of William Cummins Davis, who might have been termed the "Great Emancipator," instead of Abraham Lincoln, if Davis had had his way a half century earlier. Davis, surely, was a man who lived before his time. He was from obscure beginnings, born "somewhere on the inter-Carolina border." Davis' training for the ministry was at Mt. Zion College at Winnsboro, S. C., where he was ordained in 1789. His first pastorates were in the Spartanburg area where he stirred up trouble for himself by insisting upon the singing of Watts¹ Psalms and hymns. His conservative congregations refused to change from their position of no musical instruments and no singing. Davis scandalized each of his succeeding congregations--Carmel, the Old Stone Church at Clemson, and Bullock's Creek and Shiloh in York District. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia called him to answer for his transgressions against accepted practices of worship. It would not be the last time he was officially reprimanded. During the years 1803-1805, Davis was a missionary to the Catawba Indians. In 1804 he reported to the Synod at Bethesda that the school he had established for the Catawba children was taught by Robert Crawford who was owed $240 for his teaching. In spire of Crawford's capability and efforts, the "prospect of teaching the Indians not at all flattering." In this regard, Davis had no more success than earlier Presbyterian ministers, the Baptists or the Methodists. In 1805 Davis began his supply of Bullock's Creek. For at least years Davis had been condemning the institution of slavery from the pulpit. He preached that slave-holding was sinful and for masters to fail to give religious instruction was the "unforgivable sin" to Davis. In 1807, while on trial by the church in Philadelphia, charged with preaching against government and holding and preaching erroneous doctrines, Davis responded in ringing tones: "Against government I have never preached...Against slavery I will always preach!" In 1811 Davis was tried for heresy. He escaped the charge by resigning from the Presbyterian Church and then preceded to found the Independent Presbyterian Church. Five churches split in the process. These were Bullock Creek, Salem, Edmonds, Shiloh and Olney (in Concord, N. C.). The membership of the Independent Presbyterian Church grew to about 1,000 in 1831, the year of Davis' death. Two of Davis' successors were Robert Y. Russell and Silas J. Feemster. Silas Feemster was Davis' son-in-law. In 1832, Feemster, who was of the Bullock's Creek community, founded Salem Church in Lowndes County, Mississippi, a church that still flourishes. Like the mother congregations in South Carolina, in Mississippi the Independent Presbyterian Church took in blacks on an equal footing with the whites. After the Civil War the practice was attacked by Ku Klux Klan members and the Salem Church merged with the Congregationalists. In South Carolina at the end of the Civil war the issue of slavery was dead, so in 1867 the Independent Presbyterian Church membership merged with its mother denomination the Presbyterian Church. William Cummins Davis left his mark on this region. As late as 1859 the Yorkville Enquirer could say that Davis was still being debated because of his anti-slavery writings. In 1952, a Queens College biology professor, Dr. A. L. Pickens, put together a collection of Davis' writings, including the Gospel Plan that condemned all those the "dealers in human flesh and souls." The Gospel Plan was published the year that Abraham Lincoln was born.

Anyone, I am looking for connections between the following Surnames, probably in YORK County South Carolina or bordering North Carolina counties. About 1800 DAVIS, FOWLER, FAIRES, WALDRIP These surnames traveled to Lauderdale County Alabama, about 1819 I am aware of a large number of Faires in York County, but I am hoping for CONNECTIONS ! Thank you ! L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA

In reference to Curtis McDaniel's ? about a Rev. Davis. I found a little about one Rev. Davis in my notes that I took from Olney Presbyterian Church's history - the one with the odd theology was Rev. W. C. Davis. - Can't seem to find anything "genealogical" on him, though. A past York Co. Gen Society "Quarterly" also mentions a Rev. Robert M. Davis from about the same period in the 1800's. Janelle D.

Looking for information and ancestors of John B. PATTERSON, b. abt 1803 in NC. On Lincoln Co., NC census in 1830 and 1840. He married Frances McCully of York Co., SC in 1826. Moved to Newton Co., MS by 1850 and to Texas by 1870. I think his parents were Robert Patterson and Isabella Barber but have not been able to prove it.

Hi, Curtis, Just read your email about Rev. Davis- I'm not often on my computer during the week. Off the top of my head I can't tell you many specifics about Rev. Davis - there may have been more than one. But one of them was sometime around that period - preached in several of the early Presbyterian Churches in York Co. I think and even, if I remember correctly at Olney Presbyterian in Gastonia. Apparently he had his own ideas about preaching and theology and became almost an outcast because his facts/theology wasn't "right". I'll try to dig up what I have on him....I paid a bit of attention when I ran across him because at that time I had no idea who my William T. belonged to - but it wasn't Rev. Davis! Janelle Dixon

Hi Janelle, I'm working in York Co., SC also. I have a g-granduncle (or gg---anyway a brother to my g-grandfather), Robert Patrick McDaniel, who name his 3rd son, born October 2, 1865 in YDSC Bethesda Township near McConnelsville (today just McConnell) SC, James Davis McDaniel. I've wondered a lot about where the Davis came from. It was not his mother as she was Sarah Carroll. Somewhere I vaguely recall a Rev. Davis in SC. To ask you a question-Do you know anything about a Rev. Davis in SC, probably time frame of 1800-1845? Regards, Curtis McDaniel

I am trying to confirm the ancestors of a gggrandfather, WILLIAM T. DAVIS born about 1830 (probably in York Co. SC). He married Mary Jane Wilson on May 6, 1858 of the Gaston Co. Wilsons who belonged to Olney Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, NC. William T. Davis apparently died at the Battle of Antietam on Sept 17, 1862. He and Mary Jane had three daughters: Clementine m. John Andrew Campbell Love Mary Louisa Ann m. John Robert Davidson (my line) Sarah William m. Alexander Galloway Crawford I believe William T. parents to be Josiah T. Davis m. Serina Loureid Chambers. his grandparents to be Thomas Davis m. Frances Moore. I am trying to confirm that Josiah is his father and Thomas Davis his grandfather. Any information would help. Thanks, Janelle Dixon

The numbers had something to do with the number of the households, as they were numbered consecutively from the place where the enumerator(census taker) started. Judith and I share William F. Davis as our common ancestor. His son, Simon Drew Davis ( my picture of him is on her site) was my GG-grandfather.

Actually there is a new website with information on the Rev. Martin's group, set up by someone from the Scotch-Irish list. The URL is: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~merle/index.html Most of my Alabama ancestors, including the McKnights who emigrated on the Rev. Martin ship Free Mason, moved there from York District, SC.
