HISTORY:

GENERAL AREA HISTORY:

It is estimated by Ramsay in his history of South Carolina (1808) that in 
1755, there were not even 23 families settled between the Waxhaws on the 
Catawba River and Augusta on the Savannah River.  Since much of the 
upcountry was Indian land, settlement had centered in the coastal 
counties.  Prior to 1768, the only court held in South Carolina was held at 
the City of Charleston.  In 1768, however,  South Carolina was divided into 
six judicial districts, with courts to be held in each.  What is now Oconee 
County was in the Ninety-Six District.  At the end of the Revolutionary 
War, all of  present-day Greenville, Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties 
was Cherokee land.  There was some white settlement in this area, and forts 
had been erected in various places to protect the settlers.  The judicial 
set-up in South Carolina becomes quite fluid (and quite confusing) from 
this time on until 1868.  A law passed in 1783 recommended the division of 
the judicial districts into counties of not more than forty square miles, 
with each county to have its own courts.  This was accomplished by 1785, 
with the Ninety-Six District being further divided into Abbeville, 
Edgefield, Newberry, Laurens, Union and Spartanburg counties.  The lands of 
present-day Oconee County were temporarily attached to the adjoining 
counties of Laurens, Abbeville and Spartanburg.

The Indians had sided with the British during the Revolution, and were 
forced to surrender their land.  In 1785 a treaty was signed with the 
Cherokee Indians at Hopewell, the home of Andrew Pickens; the following 
year, a treaty was signed with the Choctaws at the same location.  At about 
this time it was estimated that the white population of the area was 
9,500.  By 1789, the residents of present-day Oconee County were having 
difficulty with their judicial assignment, and the area was separated off 
into Pendleton County.  A courthouse was set up at the site of the 
present-day town of Pendleton in 1790.  The next year, however, the 
Ninety-Six District was divided into upper and lower regions.  The upper 
region, composed of Pendleton and Greenville counties, was named the 
Washington District; a district courthouse was set up at Pickensville near 
the present-day town of Easley.  In 1798 the name "county" once again 
changed to "district"; Oconee County was in the Pendleton District, and 
court was held in Pendleton. The population was increasing rapidly; 
according to Ramsay's history, by 1800 it stood at 17,828.  The area was, 
however, still sparsely settled.  In 1808, according to Ramsay, there was 
only one acre of cleared land for every eight acres of uncleared land, and 
only one inhabitant per 36 acres.  Education was "at a low ebb," although 
some schools had been established; one newspaper was being published, by 
John Miller in Pendleton.  In 1826 Pendleton District  was further 
subdivided into Pickens and Anderson districts.  The county seat of the 
Pickens District, which encompassed present-day Oconee County, was located 
at Pickens Courthouse, or "Old Pickens."

While some of the settlers during this early period had come from the 
lowcountry of South Carolina, many were Scotch-Irish immigrants who had 
fled Ulster for Pennsylvania to escape religious persecution.  They then 
traveled down the Great Wagon Road from Harrisburg, through the Shenandoah 
Valley of Virginia, and into the piedmont region of the two 
Carolinas.  Some wealthy plantation owners from the lowcountry did begin to 
build second homes in the upstate, mostly to take advantage of the more 
moderate summer climate.  John C. Calhoun was one of these; his home, Fort 
Hill, was later deeded to the state by his son-in-law, Thomas Clemson, and 
became the site of Clemson University.

In 1868 Pickens District was divided into Pickens and Oconee counties.  The 
area was still a rural one, centered around courthouse towns which usually 
had a courthouse, several churches, a school, and a few dozen citizens.


EARLY PRESBYTERIANISM:

The early settlement of South Carolina took place along the coast.  The 
first minister to preach to Presbyterians in South Carolina was Rev. 
Archibald Stobo, who arrived in Charleston in 1700.  Until 1704, he was the 
pastor of the "Mixed Presbyterian and Independent Church" there, the only 
place of worship for Presbyterians in the entire colony.  There was 
probably no organized presbytery in South Carolina until the 1730s.  Early 
Presbyterians were organized under the Presbytery of Orange, Synod of New 
York and Philadelphia.  By 1760 there were eleven Presbyterian ministers in 
the colony, concentrated in areas near the coast.  By 1784 membership in 
the Carolinas was increasing, resulting in a desire to form a local 
presbytery.  Following the various Indian treaties signed in the late 
1780s, settlement of the Upstate accelerated, mostly by Scotch-Irish 
Presbyterians who had traveled down the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania. 
By 1789, the year the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church was 
established, there were ministers appearing in some upstate areas, 
including the Waxhaws, Saluda, Rocky River, and Upper and Lower Long Cane. 
Among churches which had been organized in the upstate at this point were 
Richmond/Carmel (1787), Bradaway/Broadway (1788), Good Hope (1789) and 
Roberts (1789).  It was also at this time that Hopewell (Keowee) or the 
"Old Stone Church" was established.  In 1790 the list of Oconee County 
churches expanded with the addition of Bethlehem and Philadelphia (or 
Ebenezer).

Rev. Thomas Reese, who was serving Hopewell (Keowee) Church at the time, 
eloquently described the possibilities for church growth in the 
region.  Noting that circumstances were "favorable to virtue and religion," 
he also noted that "As the country is in its infancy, we have yet to expect 
that these congregations will soon become much stronger, and in the course 
of a few years, if peace continues, it is probable that each of them will 
be able to support a minister.  It is a pleasing reflection to the friends 
of religion, that as the people travel westward, the gospel travels with 
them, or soon follows after them; that God inclines the hearts of 
ministers, respectable for learning, worth, and piety, to settle in these 
uncultivated regions."

Southern representation at early meetings of the General Assembly was 
limited, since meetings were always held in the North, and travel was 
complicated and expensive.  Thus figures on the development of churches in 
South Carolina are scarce. The western "frontier" of South Carolina was 
considered a missionary territory, with ministers traveling around and 
"supplying" a number of churches.  Indeed, a number of the same ministers 
served the various Presbyterian churches in Oconee County.  Salaries were 
often left unpaid; the largest contribution toward the salary of Rev. John 
Simpson, first pastor at Roberts Church, was $5.00, and some members were 
only able to give a few pennies, or gifts in kind such as corn, wheat, and 
whiskey.  Often these itinerant preachers were not even reimbursed for 
travel and lodging.  Consequently,  some ministers turned to teaching, 
opening early academies and schools.  Often they found this work more 
congenial, and left the ministry, contributing further to the shortage of 
qualified pastors.

In 1796 Rev. Andrew Brown was appointed to spend time as a missionary on 
the South Carolina frontier, at a salary of $16.66 per month.  In 1797 he 
apparently had charge of the Bethlehem and Philadelphia churches on Cane 
Creek in present-day Oconee County.  In his history of South Carolina, 
Walter Edgar estimates that only 8% of the white population in the upstate 
belonged to churches at this time. Church membership, however, was 
increasing, largely as a result of massive ecumenical camp meetings.  The 
early churches were simple, usually built of undressed logs.  They had few 
windows, and were furnished with benches rather than pews.  No musical 
instruments were employed in the services.

It was during this time that Nazareth/Beaverdam (1803) and Bethel (1805) 
were organized.  Edgar states that membership had almost tripled, to 23% of 
the white population, by 1810.  As for the Presbyterians, by that time 
there were only 9 ministers to serve 25 churches and 634 congregants in the 
entire Presbytery of South Carolina. By 1826 Mills' "Statistics of South 
Carolina" indicated that there was a dominant Presbyterian presence in 
Abbeville, Chester, Fairfield, Greenville, Laurens, Pendleton, Richland and 
York districts.  In Oconee County, Westminster and Richland had been 
organized in 1834.  Ministers continued to be scarce, however, and most 
only stayed in one church for a short time.  It was not until 1859 that the 
concept of a  permanent pastorate became popular in the church.

By 1870 there were still only 29 ordained ministers in South Carolina 
Presbytery, and only 13 of these were devoting their full time to the 
ministry.  During this time the Presbytery continued to employ "domestic 
missionaries" to supply vacant pulpits.  By the late nineteenth century, 
after a restructuring of the Presbytery to form Enoree Presbytery, there 
were 19 ministers left in the Presbytery of South Carolina to serve 39 
churches, and rural churches continued to languish on into the 20th century.

the Presbytery of South Carolina, 1784-1984.)


BETHEL CHURCH HISTORY:

Bethel Church, founded in 1805 by Rev. Andrew Brown, apparently grew out of 
the ashes of the earlier Bethlehem Church.  Brown, appointed as a 
missionary to the South Carolina frontier,  had charge of both the 
Bethlehem and Philadelphia Churches on Cane Creek beginning in 
1797.  Tradition says that both churches were destroyed by a forest fire in 
1800, and Bethel was built on Bethlehem's former site.  The first building 
was made from rough round logs. It was later replaced by a hewn log 
building, and still later, in 1847, by a frame building. The church was 
supplied by Benjamin Du Pre in 1834, and had 31 members.  The pastorate was 
vacant much of the time between 1836 and 1850.  In 1849 it was supplied by 
Rev. John L. Kennedy, and had 18 members.

William McWhorter, who was associated with numerous churches in the area, 
was supplying the church in 1850, and it had 19 members; he also supplied 
the church from 1852-1857.  Other known ministers were: Ezekial Foster Hyde 
(stated supply, 1875); Rev. George Gregg Mayes (stated supply, 1891-97, 
while serving the Walhalla Church); Robert Lee Rogers (stated supply for 
Bethel, Fairview and Ebenezer while serving as pastor of Walhalla from 
1902-05); Henry Dickson Corbett (1946-47, while also serving Walhalla); Ace 
Tubbs (served Walhalla and Bethel during the 1950s); W. Ronald McElrath 
(1966-1969, while also serving Walhalla); Rudolph Chasteen (1970-75, first 
as a student at Erskine Theological Seminary, and then as full-time pastor 
after 1972). Jack L. Stevenson, a professor at Clemson University, began 
serving as stated supply in 1975.  At that time, the church had a 
membership of around 60.

Dating from the earliest days of the church's history, Bethel's cemetery 
includes the graves of non-members as well as members; in addition, some 
slaves and their descendents are buried there.
(Some of the material for this history came from an unidentified 
typescript, written probably around 1978, and "Bethel Presbyterian Church 
Built in 1846," Seneca Journal, May 1, 1968.)


CHURCH RECORDS:

Although there is a Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia, the 
best place to find material on the "Southern" church is at 
Montreat.  Here's what the Society says about this on their website:
The Presbyterian Historical Society serves its constituency from two 
regional offices, one in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and one in Montreat, 
North Carolina.

The Philadelphia office documents "northern stream" predecessor 
denominations and their work, congregations, and middle governing bodies in 
thirty-six states, and the work of the current denomination's national 
agencies.

The Montreat office documents "southern stream" predecessor denominations 
and congregations and middle governing bodies in fourteen southern states.
For records from congregations, synods, and presbyteries in Texas, 
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, 
South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and 
Virginia, contact the Montreat office first. For all others, contact the 
Philadelphia office first.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF BETHEL CHURCH DELIVERED AT CELEBRATION OF CENTENNIAL OF THE
CHURCH, AUGUST 9, 1905 BY COL. R. A. THOMPSON

	Gentlemen of the committee, ladies and gentlemen:  This is a real tangible 
centennial celebration!  One hundred years have elapsed since the organization 
of Bethel Presbyterian church in 1805.  This effort took place under many 
adverse circumstances.  The Revolutionary war had been brought to a close and 
"life, liberty and happiness" had been secured by the result of the contest.  
There was, of course, more or less demoralization in the country, growing out of 
the war and attendant circumstances.  The population was sparse and the "school 
master" had just made his appearance.  The British had already departed, the 
Tory had been given an opportunity to make honest repentance, and the Indian, 
with the exception of a few "friendly Indians," had been driven to seek another 
home in the "happy hunting grounds" in the great West.

	The people of that early period had already commenced the work of 
improvement here; not only materially, but socially and morally.  The Christian 
was not only concerned in the opportunity to worship, but also to open up the 
way for schools as well as churches.  You have before you today the happy 
results of these efforts.  We, therefore, most cordially welcome you to the full 
enjoyment of this auspicious occasion, together with the fruition of the hopes 
of our forefathers in the sturdy effort made by them to benefit mankind -- not 
only here, but in the joyous world to come.

  	It may interest us somewhat, perhaps, to look for a moment behind the 
departure of the "Redman of the forest."  America had been discovered more than 
four hundred years.  The Indian was here then in his majesty and ignorance.  He 
may have been found on this very spot.  He was the supreme ruler.  The country 
was an unbroken forest.  The grass was luxuriant everywhere in its season.  The 
wild flowers were also many and very beautiful.  Game, from the buffalo to the 
hare, abounded.  The Indian had no axe, no spade, no plow, no hoe, and nothing 
but fire could fell the trees of the forest.  But with the game and a handful of 
maize the Indian had his "staff of life."  War was his chief weapon of offense 
and defense.  Small tribes were thus destroyed, and the victors celebrated their 
victories.  We do not know how long the Indian had been here, and history does 
not inform us.  In all probability we may never know.

	The Revolutionary war closed in 1782.  It was twenty-three years until our 
centennial period commenced.  This brief period was employed doubtless in 
quieting the country and in securing population.  From the Northeast---Maryland, 
Virginia and North Carolina, came a fine population.  These, with the "heroes of 
the Revolution," officers and privates, were more than welcome, and only claimed 
their own.  Among these were Gen. Andrew Pickens, Gen. Robert Anderson, Col. 
Samuel Earle, Col. Benjamin Cleveland, Horseshoe Robinson and many others---
"good men and true"-----found comfortable homes among us, greatly improved the 
country and developed a sturdy yeomanry which has not yet been excelled in any 
land or country.

           Gen. Pickens and Gen. Anderson came from the territory now known as 
Abbeville, and found homes on Seneca river, near where the Blue Ridge railroad 
crosses that stream.  The first home of Gen. Pickens was known by the name of 
Hopewell, where he made treaties with the Indians.  This fine farm afterwards 
became the home of his son, Andrew J. Pickens.  During his stay here, Gen. 
Pickens and others, organized a Presbyterian church known as Hopewell.  It is 
now known as the "Old Stone Church," and is near Clemson college.  Gen. Pickens 
was a ruling elder of this church.

	As already stated, Bethel Church was organized in 1805.  Some of the facts 
relating to this transaction (such as are in existence) are taken from the 
minute book of this church, into which they were transcribed by Ruling Elder 
Samuel R. McFall, who was also secretary of the session of Bethel church.  They 
are as follows:

	"From the most authentic information, Bethel Presbyterian church, in 
Pickens District, South Carolina, was organized in the year of our Lord, A. D. 
1805.  The first house of worship was made out of rough round logs, covered in 
the usual way.  The first pastor was Rev. Andrew Brown.  The first ruling elders 
were Gen. Andrew Pickens, Nathan Lusk and Robert White.  Subsequently a hewed 
log house of worship was erected.  The families composing the congregation were 
as follows, namely:  On Little River, John McWhorter (schoolmaster), Nathan and 
Henry Lusk, Alexander Keown, John Hughs and Andrew Pickens;  on Oconee Creek, 
Thomas Lesley and Francis Jenkins; on Cane Creek, Patrick Andrew Alexander, John 
White, James Anderson, Oliver Wood, John McWhorter (blacksmith), John and Josiah 
Houston, Jesse Neville and Mrs. Ware; and on Coneross, Arthur McDow and Abner 
Steele."

	"In 1812, Rev. Andrew Brown commenced teaching at Mount Pleasant Academy 
(near this church) and continued teaching there for several years.  This was not 
an ordinary country school, but Pastor Brown taught a classical school.  Some 
years afterward quite a number of the families composing this congregation 
emigrated to Alabama.  A long interval now ensues, of which we have no account, 
as the church minute book has been lost."

	"We again commence services of the church at about 1846 or 1847.  A new 
framed house of worship was erected by the congregation, Henry Steele being the 
contractor.  Subsequently this house was ceiled by Elder Samuel R. McFall and 
others of the body, and is now in a fair state of preservation:  Rev. John L. 
Kennedy preached at this time as the regular supply.  At this period the ruling 
elders were John Todd and Joseph Burnett.

	"The number of communicants in 1853 were 18 or 19"  The names do not 
appear on the minute book of the session.

	In 1854 Capt. Samuel R. McFall purchased the fine property known as Oconee 
Station, near this church, and removed thereto from his former residence at 
Pickens Court House.  Soon after his removal he was elected ruling elder of 
Bethel church, and took great interest in its success.  He was also secretary of 
the session.	

	Mrs. Anna Rogers, an aged member of Bethel church, died January 26, 1858, 
from natural causes.

	A protracted meeting was held at Bethel church September 2, 1859.  
Reverends S. S. Gaillard, D. Chalmers Boggs, F. P. Mullally and others preached 
morning and evening services for several days.  Great interest was manifest on 
the occasion and a number of persons connected themselves with the church.	

	Several colored persons became members of the church from time to time.

	Contributions to the various causes of the church were made liberally 
during its more recent history.

	The services of the church were much neglected on account of the 
continuance of the war between the sections.

	We make the following record from the minute book of the session of Bethel 
church:

	"September 21, 1862---Session met and was opened by prayer.  Present:  W. 
P. Grady, moderator, and Elders Josiah D. Gaillard and A. D. Gaillard.  The 
following minute was read and adopted: 'It is with the deepest sorrow that the 
session of this church feel themselves called upon to record the death of their 
much beloved and highly esteemed brother and companion in the eldership, Samuel 
R. McFall, who fell in the late battles before Richmond (Gaines' Mill), commonly 
known as the Chicahominy battles, while gallantly charging upon the enemies' 
battery.  We mourn his loss for his family's sake, who are thereby deprived of a 
devoted husband and father, and for whom we express our heartfelt sympathy, and 
pray that the God of grace and consolation may be with them.  We mourn his loss 
as a good and useful citizen, a neighbor universally valued and esteemed, and as 
a kind friend and brother.  But it is especially as an elder member of this 
church that we lament his departure.  From the time that he became such, more 
than eight years ago, by letter of dismiss ion from the Pickens court house 
church, he had been diligent and zealous in the employment of every means for 
our own growth,  and prosperity.  It is greatly owing to his prayers and labors 
that in this time our membership had increased from eighteen to nearly eighty.  
Our house of worship had become more comfortable and respectable in its 
appearance, our people more liberal in their religious contributions, our 
Sabbath schools and prayer meetings had been brought into being and kept in 
existence.   During all this time he, too, had been the faithful clerk and 
recorder of the business of session and the important events of our church's 
history.  In his removal from us our loss seems too great to be easily supplied, 
but we will pray that this sore bereavement and chastisement may be made the 
means of our increased sanctification and faithfulness as surviving overseers of 
the Lord's household, and that it may be also overruled by the grace of our Lord 
Jesus to the furtherance of the piety and zeal of the whole membership.  While 
making this minute the session feels themselves called to notice the great 
inroads that death has been making upon our membership and urge it upon the 
attention of the church for their admonition.  Several have very recently been 
called to their eternal homes.  Among these we would particularly notice the 
departure of Anna and W. H. Gaillard, the beloved wife and son of our aged and 
venerated elder, Josiah D. Gaillard, who has our sympathies and prayers; and S. 
N. W. McFall, the noble son of our lamented elder, who fell upon the same 
battlefield with the father."

    	At the session of the church held July 6, 1863, a letter was received from 
the Rev. J. Monroe Anderson, Chaplain of the Twelfth Regiment, South Carolina 
Volunteers, stating therein that A. J. Pendley and C. M. Morgan had united 
themselves with the church of Christ in camp in Virginia and that they had 
expressed a desire to become members of Bethel church.

	The following pastors served Bethel church during the century we are now 
celebrating:  Andrew Brown, Benjamin D. DuPre, Joseph Hillhouse, John L. 
Kennedy, William McWhorter, W. H. Singletary, David Humphreys, Anthony W. Ross, 
John B. Adger, D. Chalmers Boggs, F. P. Mullally, W. P. Grady, S. S. Gaillard, 
Hugh McLees, D. McNeil Turner, E. F. Hyde, John G. Law, John R. Riley, Hugh 
Strong, W. D. Spurlin, J. E. Fogartie, G. G. Mays and Robert Lee Rogers.  Of 
this number seventeen have departed this life.  High McLees, John G. Law, John 
R. Riley, W. D. Spurlin, M. E. Fogartie and G. G. Mays survive.

	Rev. Andrew Brown was the first pastor of Bethel church and served the 
people faithfully.  He was also a teacher of the your of the country, his first 
school having been located near the church.  Not only were the youth of the 
country taught, but in the higher departments young men were prepared for the 
ministry and other avocations.  Rev. High McLees, who survives this celebration, 
and Rev. David Humphreys, of precious memory, were fortunate in this regard.  
There were others also, but their names have not been given.  One of the small 
pupils has survived.  Her name was Minerva McGuffin, and she was at this time 
seven years of age.  On attaining womanhood she was happily married to William 
Bearden.  She is now ninety-three years old, and finds a most pleasant and 
comfortable home with her son, James W. Bearden.  We had hoped to Be able to 
have her presence on this interesting occasion, but she is too feeble to be 
present.  Subsequently Mr. Brown taught another school at the "Play Grounds," 
near the present site of Walhalla.  Gov. Perry, Judge Whitner and other persons 
of consequence were among the pupils.

	Rev. William McWhorter was a son of Ruling Elder John McWhorter, of Cane 
Creek.  He was born March 16, 1811, and was baptized by Rev. Andrew Brown.  He 
became a member of Bethel church in early life.  He was a graduated at the 
University of Georgia, August 5, 1836.  He received his theological training 
from Rev. Mr. Barr, of Abbeville.  He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery 
of South Carolina in 1837.  He served acceptably a number of churches.  He was 
married to Miss M. M. Kyle in 1837 and leaves a large number of descendents.  He 
departed this life at Bachelors' Retreat February 9, 1884, aged seventy-three 
years.

	Rev. John L. Kennedy was a graduate of the South Carolina College, and was 
one of the most distinguished teachers in the state.		

	Dr. John B. Adger was a distinguished divine.  Adger College was named for 
him.

	Rev. F. P. Mullally was an Irishman by birth, and an earnest and eloquent 
preacher, and was also president of Adger College.

	Rev. D. McNeil Turner taught school at Walhalla and also discharged the 
duties of pastor.

	Rev. John R. Riley had a fine reputation as teacher of the youth of the 
country.  He was also a model pastor and a professor in Adger College.  His many 
friends wish him well in his passage from time to eternity.

	Rev. Hugh Strong was zealous in the discharge of his duties as pastor, and 
also as a teacher.  He was a graduate of the South Carolina College, and also a 
professor in Adger College.	

	Rev. J. E. Fogartie is a professor in the Theological Seminary at 
Clarkesville, Tenn., as well as a minister of the gospel.	

	Rev. John G. Law's first pastorate included the churches at Walhalla and 
Bethel.  He was ordained at Walhalla, and is greatly beloved as a pastor.

	Rev. Robert Lee Rogers was a graduate of Clinton College.  His only 
brother, younger than he was, was preparing himself for the ministry when he was 
sickened and died.  The elder brother was at the same time preparing himself for 
the practice of law.  On the death of his brother he put his law books aside and 
took the place of his brother in preparation for the ministry.  He passed 
through the Theological Seminary at Columbia with honor to himself and credit to 
that institution.  Soon afterwards he proceeded to discharge his duty to himself 
and the church by taking his place in the ministry.  His first pastorate was in 
the group of churches including :  Walhalla, Richland and Bethel.  He was 
ordained at Walhalla and served these churches most acceptably for eight years.  
The distance to Richland is eight miles and to Bethel seven.  Part of the time 
he preached three times a day.  He was industrious and very zealous in the cause 
of the Master.  The church earnestly laments the untimely death of Robert Lee 
Rogers.

	There were twenty ruling elders in Bethel church during the century.  
Their names are as follows:

Holleman, M. C. Todd, Thomas M. Kelley.

	Gen.  Andrew Pickens was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, on the 19th 
day of September, 1739.  His parents were of Huguenot descent, and removed in 
1752 to the Waxhaw settlement in Lancaster county, South Carolina.  Colonel 
Pickens first saw public service in General Grant's expedition against the 
Cherokee Indians in 1761.  After this he removed to Long Cane, in what is now 
known as Abbeville county.  At the beginning of the Revolutionary war Andrew 
Pickens was appointed captain in the militia and was promoted from time to time 
until he reached the position of major general.  He was engaged in a number of 
battles with the Indians and the British, in which he greatly distinguished 
himself.  His last victory was over the Indians at Tamassee, where he died.  
General Pickens married Miss Rebecca Calhoun, of Abbeville, in 1765.  From all 
accounts this wedding was an epoch in the social history of this section.  The 
bride was especially noted for her beauty and accomplishments.  Gen. Pickens 
held many public positions, the most prominent of which was his membership in 
the House of Representatives in the Congress of the United States.  Gen.  
Pickens removed to Tamassee, where he died August 11, 1817.  Tradition informs 
us that he died in his chair under one of the large cedars in his yard in the 
78th year of his age.  Gen. Pickens was a Christian, a brave soldier and a gook 
citizen.  His son, Andrew J. Pickens, was governor of South Carolina in 1816.  
And his grandson, Gen. F. W. Pickens, of Edgefield, was governor in 1860.  His 
posterity was large and eminently respectable.  Gen.  Pickens and some members 
of his family are buried at the Old Stone church.

	John McWhorter, of Cane Creek, father of Rev. William McWhorter, died in 
Georgia some years ago.

	Elam Sharpe was the first senator from Pickens District.  He formerly 
resided at Tamassee, but removed to Texas where he is now discharging the duties 
of a Presbyterian clergyman.

	L. B. Johnson was a practicing physician, a member of the Constitutional 
Convention of 1868, and county auditor for a number of years.

	John N. George was county auditor several years.

	J. W. Holleman was county treasurer for a number of years, judge of 
probate and master.

	The deacons were David Duncan, S. V. Massey, J. M. Calhoun, J. B. Castles, 
S. T. Cowan, J. E. Kelley and J. D. Cowan.  There were other deacons during this 
long period but they have been advanced to eldership.

	Of the deacons there are living, to wit:  S. T. Cowan, J. D. Kelley and J. 
D. Cowan.

	Alexander White conveyed by deed a lot of land containing seven acres, 
more or less, for the use of the church.

	The committee of arrangements for this celebration is composed of Thomas 
M. Kelley, Dr. W. K. Sharp, Joseph W. Holleman and James F. Neville.  Mr. 
Holleman is chairman.

	The work of the committee has been varied and laborious, and has also made 
the centennial a most interesting and successful celebration.

	The committee of arrangements has erected a handsome monument to be 
dedicated to the pastors, elders and deacons of Bethel church.  The names of the 
pastors, ruling elders and deacons of the church appear on the monument.  On the 
base appears:  Bethel church.  On one side:  1805.  On one side:  1905.  The 
monument is a handsome tribute to the fathers of the church and has been erected 
by the committee with the free will offerings of the friends of Bethel 
Presbyterian church.  The monument will be unveiled on Thursday, the last day of 
the celebration.

	The cemetery at Bethel church is large.  A large number of persons have 
been buried there year by year for the century.  As many of these are not marked 
by monuments much disappointment is occasioned.  Mr. McDow,  of Meridian, Miss., 
looked in vain for the grave of his grandfather who was buried there, but it 
could not be found.  There are a large number of monuments, however, but these 
have been erected more recently.  Robert Cowan, a Revolutionary soldier, was 
buried there.  The grounds are in good condition:  A wire fence or a stone wall 
would be a protection to this sacred spot.  One of these may come in good time.

	The early history of Bethel shows that the first house of worship was a 
primitive affair.  In some sections of upper Carolina bush arbors were used for 
religious services, and even camp meetings were in order.  We have, however, 
moved away from that condition; but the evidence of these old primitive places 
of worship still abide with us. The wooden building at "Hopewell-Keowee" was 
certainly primitive.  But the Old Stone church, which took its place, is more 
than a century old, the centennial of that church having been celebrated some 
years ago.  John Rusk, a loyal Irishman, built the Old Stone church.  He is 
buried at Bethel.  One of his sons, Thomas J. Rusk, rose up to bless him.  In 
the struggle between Texas and Mexico the son greatly distinguished himself in 
the field.  After the annexation of Texas Gen. Rusk was elected to the United 
States senate.  After his success he returned to South Carolina and secured for 
his wife Miss May Cleveland, a niece of Col. Benjamin Cleveland.  He died at 
middle age. (*)

	Samuel R. McFall was a native of Anderson District, and removed to Pickens 
more than fifty years ago.  He was blessed with a large family, nine daughters 
and two sons.  Mr. McFall was a ruling elder of Bethel church.  He was a 
spiritual leader of great vitality in the church.  His work in the Sabbath 
school and prayer meeting was a benediction.  When there was no preaching, which 
was often the case, he would read to the congregation one of Baker's or 
Spurgeon's sermons.  In 1861 he took arms in behalf of his country and fell 
whilst gallantly fighting her battles.  His son, S. N. W. McFall, fell mortally 
wounded on the same day.  Three of his daughters are dead.  One of these, Mrs. 
Neville, left two children....one daughter and one son.  The son is William G. 
Neville, distinguished in the ministry of the Presbyterian church in this state.  
His aunt, Rebecca A. McFall, did much for him in his early training and also in 
his education.  Mr. Neville has developed into a broad-minded and deep-thinking 
man.  He is greatly beloved as a pastor and now fills the high position of 
president of the South Carolina Presbyterian College at Clinton.

(*) = (In the latter part of this paragraph there is a slight mistake, which, 
for the sake of historical accuracy should be corrected.  John Rusk, and his 
wife, Mary Starritt Rusk, are buried in the cemetery of the Old Stone church and 
not at Bethel.  His son, Thomas Jefferson Rusk married Mary Cleveland, at 
Clarkesville, Georgia, in 1827, where he practiced law for eight years.  She was 
a great-granddaughter of Colonel Benjamin Cleveland, a Revolutionary soldier, 
and one of the commanders at the Battle of King's Mountain.  Her father was 
General Benjamin Cleveland of Clarkesville, Georgia, who was a son of John 
Cleveland, son of Colonel Benjamin Cleveland.  Thomas Jefferson Rusk went to 
Texas in 1834 and became one of the prominent leaders in the movement for the 
Independence of Texas.  His wife and children followed him to Texas in 1835 and 
made their home there until his death in 1857 while serving as United States 
senator along with Sam Houston.  They were the first Untied States senators from 
Texas after its admission to the Union.....R. T. Jaynes).

WAXHAW REGION:  This was named after a group of Indians who lived in this area 
before the settlers moved into this region.  It covered Anson, Mecklenburg, and 
Union Co. in NC and Chester, Lancaster, and York Co. in SC.  The Catawba River 
forms the western limits.  

----------

BETHEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Bethel Presbyterian Church, located just off Highway 11 North, organized in 
1805, stems from the Waxhaw Presbyterian Church in Lancaster County. In 1797, we 
find that Reverend Andrew Brown was called to Bethlehem and Philadelphia 
Churches, on Cane Creek, and in the year 1799 as pastor of both churches. The 
organization of Bethlehem and Philadelphia (or Ebenezer) was effected after the 
last treaty General Pickens made with the Indians on the Cherry Farm, near 
Clemson, and these old churches were evidently the forerunners of the Bethel and 
Ebenezer of later date.

General Andrew Pickens, following the Revolutionary War, moved from Abbeville 
District to Hopewell on the Seneca River and later to Tamassee in 1794. 
Establishing a home, "The Red House", on Little River, General Pickens helped 
organized the Bethel Church, of which he was a ruling elder until his death on 
August 11, 1817. Although he died while living nearby, he was buried at Old 
Stone Church near Pendleton, which he also helped organize.

The first pastor was the Reverend Andrew Brown. The first ruling elders were 
Andrew Pickens, Nathan Lusk, and Robert Lusk. Later a hewed log house of worship 
was erected on seven acres of land deeded by Alexander White. The families 
comprising the congregation were as follows:  John McWhorter (schoolmaster), 
Nathan and Henry Lusk, Alexander Keown, John Hughs, Andrew Pickens, Thomas 
Lesley, Francis Jenkins, Patrick Andrew Alexander, John White, James Anderson, 
Oliver Wood, James McWhorter (blacksmith), John and Josiah Houston, Jesse 
Neville, Mrs. Ware, Arthur McDaw, and Abner Steele.

In 1812, the Reverend Andrew Brown started teaching at Mount Pleasant Academy 
(near this church) and continued teaching there for several years. This was an 
ordinary country school as Pastor Brown taught a classical school. Under the 
influence of his teaching, a number of young men were called into the ministry. 
Among them were the Reverend Hugh McLees and the Reverend David Humphreys, who 
later served this church as pastors.

Church records of the ensuing period have been lost; but in 1846 or 1847, a new 
frame church was erected by the congregation with Henry Steele as contractor. 
This house was later ceiled by Elder Samuel R. McFall and others of the 
congregation. This is the same sanctuary which now stands.  In 1954, Sunday 
School rooms were added at the rear of the church building with other 
improvements made in 1968. As recently as 1974-75, a complete furnace system, 
Hammond organ, new piano, church pews, and carpeting were added to a growing 
list of improvements and in 1992 a fellowship hall was build.

In 1905, they held the centennial to celebrate the 100th year of one of the 
oldest Presbyterian churches in this part of the state. The centennial lasted 
two days. One feature of the program was the unveiling of the monument. It was 
dedicated to the pastor, elders, and deacons of the church.  Miss Cornelia 
Pickett, granddaughter of Elder Samuel R. McFall and Miss Kate Sharp, 
granddaughter of Elder John Sharp, did the unveiling.

Some of the visitors were six sisters of Captain Samuel R. McFall. They were: 
Mrs. Mary Johnson, Walhalla; Mrs. Ellen McDowell, Franklin, NC; Mrs. Rachel 
Auld, Elberton, GA; Mrs. Althea Ballenger and Mrs. Mattie Pickett, Richland; 
Elder James George and daughter of Atlanta, GA; Dr. J.B. George of Gainesville, 
GA; Mrs. A.L. Hartley and two children of Lexington; and Mrs. Julia Gnatt of 
Pickens. Mrs. S.S. Holleman, Walhalla; J.M. Sharp, Welesca, GA; and Dr. W.K. 
Sharp were present.  Among other visitors were Reverend L.M. Stribling of 
Missouri; S.M. Johnson of Little Mountain; Fred and Robert Auld of Elberton, GA; 
Mrs. A.P. Nicholson and Lee Holleman of Anderson; Mrs. Ruby Sharp of Rome, GA; 
and many others.

The churches that grew out of Bethel are Richland, Walhalla, and Old Pickens, 
Seneca Presbyterian Church.

Pastors in the long history of Bethel following Andrew Brown were the Reverends 
Ben D. Dupre, Joseph Hillhouse, J.L. Kennedy (1846), William McWhorter (1873), 
W.H. Singletery, David Humphreys, A.W. Ross (1855-1858), J.D. Adfer; D.C. Boggs 
(1858), J.P. Mullalby, W.P. Grady (1861-65), S.S. Gaillard, Hugh McLees, Dr. 
McNeil Turner (1869-71), E.J. Hyde (1870), John G. Law, J.F. Latimer (1869), 
S.L. Morris, J.R. Riley, Hugh Strong (1875-1882), W.D. Spurlin (1884), J.E. 
Fogartie (1885), G.G. Mayes (1886-1897), R.L. Rogers (1898-1905), George Wilcox, 
William Hamilton, Mr. Corbett, Frank Morse, Ace Tubbs, Mr. Sloan, and Eugene 
Wilson.

Pastors who served Bethel after 1905 were Lowry Wilson Brown, George M. Wilcox, 
William Hugh Hamilton, Frank B. Estes, E.T. Wilson, John Benson Sloan, Frank R. 
Morse, Reverend H.D. Corbett, Ace L. Tubbs, J. Trent Howell, A.L. Vreolant, W.S. 
Blanton, Jr., John Bradshaw, Charles Eifird, Robert M. Lytton, John B. Deggs 
MacFaust, Franklin Clark, James M. Reading, John Whitner, Ershine Clarke, W. 
Ronald McElrath, Charles Raynal, Rudolph H. Chasteen, Jack L. Stevenson in 1975-
1984, and Charles E. Reichenbach, 1984-.

In 1948, Bethel's first and only manse was erected.

After Walhalla Presbyterian Church became self-sustaining, Bethel was served 
mostly by ministerial students from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, 
Georgia.

The cemetery at Bethel dates to the church's origin, many non-members using it 
to bury their families. There are also Negro slaves interred there along with 
some of their descendants.  Reverend and Mrs. Ronald McElrath chronicled the 
cemetery in the late 1960's, but numerous gravesites are unmarked.

The Walhalla Presbyterian Church having been formed by 1868, a number of Bethel 
members joined that congregation.

Bethel, today one of five active Presbyterian churches in Oconee County, has a 
membership of approximately 60 and is still considered the small country church 
of its origin. Submitted by: Doris S. Foster.
