I wanted to thank everybody and request more help from all who have already
help locate information about Bethel Church (Universalist) & Burial Grounds
in Saluda SC.
Please forward this to any group that may be interested, especially those
groups & individuals who may be related to the church, denominational
related or the descendants families.
While all the details have not been locked down the Bethel Church will have
its first service, congregational meeting, and reunion in many years on
February 14th at Shiloh United Methodist Church which is near the grounds of
the Old Meeting House.
We would appreciate those who can volunteer their efforts and resources with
this effort. This is especially true of finding individuals related to the
church, efforts to restore the meeting house and protect the grounds, record
its history including both its religious, ancestry related, local and
related national connections.
We are particularly asking those who are part of spiritual related groups
that are interested or connected to the church to please assist this effort.
Information and resources would be greatly appreciated, especially
historical information and possible assistance with future needs. We also
welcome fellowship connections and contact information.
The local Chapman, Blease, Rushton families have started to inform their
relatives of the event. If you are a member of any of the following families
or those that may have been connected to the church will would ask that you
assist out efforts as well.
I would greatly appreciate help locating more individuals related to the
church such as: Chapman, Rushton, Lynch, Linch, Clayton, Crawford, Blease,
Summers, Martin, Gaulden, Long, Pitts, Werts, King, and other families
related to both the church and descendants of these families.
I website, flyer, and related information will be available in the coming
days.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to help with this
effort. Also please pray for good weather.
