Visit http://members.aol.com/pastense2/scroom.htm In the Carolina Room, I have stored many documents that pertain to the State of South Carolina, however, I do have some records that I have acquired from other States, as well. Here you will find a little bit of my Family History, South Carolina Misc. Records extracted, from (wills, deeds, marriage records, deaths records, probate records) Penitentiary Records, Coroner Inquisitions, Church Cemetery transcriptions where to get copies of these books, pictures, census information, surname connections, Mortality records, Slave records and Mortgage Records. Many of the items in my possession, were copied from the original document and later compiled and placed in one of my many databases, for future reference. Keep in mind, that a lot of hard work has been placed in the years of research that I have done. Most of what you will find here I freely share, with the understanding that it is copyrighted material, published either by me or someone else, that I have acknowledged. The following history information was taken from the Inventory of Church Archives of Churches 1935. By: E.E. Vaughn Wilson's Creek No. 1 Baptist 5 mi. E. of Iva, SC Organized 1875 1st log structure about 3 miles South of present site 1875 - 1881; 2nd wooden frame in same place 1881 - 1892; 3rd wooden frame at present site.

This church was named after the creek nearby. The organization worshipped as Wilsons Creek until the church was destroyed by fire in 1892, then part of the members built them a church in Abbeville County and these members built one in Anderson County. One in Anderson County is named Wilson's Creek No. 1. The one on Abbeville County is named Wilson's Creek No. 2. o----------o William Roe and I went by Pleasant View Baptist Church on Thursday, 22 MAY 2008, to look for a grave. We walked to the back left side of the church near a large oak tree. There was a grave size depression in the ground about 25 feet from the church that he said was the grave. There were no markings. The GPS reading was N 34 degrees 47.314 minutes and W 082 degrees 29.370 minutes. William told a story about the basketball goal posts in the parking lot on the other side of the church. He said they were built as a class project in the Wren High School Shop. Shortly after they were erected at the church in the mid 1970s, a group of boys and he were playing basketball on a Saturday when a funeral hearse drove up. They had just had a funeral at another location and the body was "laid to rest" in the grave. As well as William could remember, there were about 15 people attending the burial. He thought it was one of the pastors of the church. I stopped by the church and talked with Mr. Taylor who was working in the churchyard. I related the story and he said he had not heard about a grave, but would check the story out. Months later at the end of April 2009, I saw Mr. Taylor working in the churchyard and stopped to talk. Mr. Taylor said he talked with an elderly member of the church earlier in April and she confirmed that Reverend Williams was buried there. He was one of the early pastors (3rd) of the Pleasant View Baptist Church. There is no marker on the grave. 1st Pastor - Rev. J. J. Talley (started in 1929) 2nd Pastor - Rev. W. M.
