CHAPTER I - BEGINNING AND GROWTH

All Saint's Parish includes the whole of vVaccamaw peninsula, that narrow tongue of land lying along the coast of South Caro~ lina, bounded on the east by the Atlantic and on the \Vest by the Waccamaw River which here flo\vs almost due south and empties into Winyah Bay. The length of the "N eek" from Fraser's Point to the Horry County line just north of Murrell's Inlet is about thirty miles and the width of the high land varies f rorii two to three miles. The :place takes its name from the \Vac~ camaws, a small Indian tribe of the locality who belonged ·to a loose conf ederacv... of the tribes on the coast between Charleston and the Cape Fear River and of whon1 the Catawbas were the acknowledged head. They are described as sen1i-nomadic river dwellers, living largely by hunting and occupying dome-shaped houses built of bark. The Waccama\vs were \varlike and trouble­ some. They must have been early driven out for the last reference to them as a tribe is in 1730. The Southern third of the peninsula from Clifton, just north of the present Lafayette Bridge, to the lower tip, ,vas known by the Indian nan1e of Hobca w and ,vas one of the ten Baronies consisting of 12,000 acres each laid out in 1711 and divided among the Lord's Proprietors by lot. Hobca,v Barony fell to John, Lord Carteret, Baron Carteret of I-Ia,vnes, after\vard Earl Carteret, to whon1 it \Vas fonnally granted Decen1ber .5, 1718. He held it about twelve years and then sold it to John R.oberts of Deans' Court, l\1iddlesex. Roberts had it surveyed in 1736 when the Barony ,vas found to contain 13,970 arres. The property ,vas shortly broken up into sn1aller tracts and sold to Sir William Baker, Nicolas Lin\voocl, and Brice Fisher, of London, \Vho appointed as their attorneys in Carolina Francis Stuart and Paul Trapier ,vith authority to sell the property. Stuart soon died leaving 1'rapier in full control. The latter ,vas a merchant in Georgetown. Beginning with 1766 large parcels ,vere sold to Benjan1in Huger, Benjamin Trapier, Peter Secare, Samuel CJ egg, J-!enry Jan1es Dauhuz, Thon1as l\fitchelI and Robert I-Ieriot. 1'hese 1nen ,vcre South Carolinians ,vho settled on the land and planted. i\bove the northern boundary of the Carteret barony ,vere the places of ..Anthony and George Pa,vley, James and John 6 BEGINNING AND GROWTH

LaBruce, Samuel Masters, John Vanderhorst, and Ja1nes Gads­ den, while nearby were the lands of Jan1es Abercron1bie, attorney­ general of the province, William Balloon, William Arnold and Thomas Clark. Still further to the north vVillia1n Waties, who came originally from St. John's, Berkeley, held lands on both sides of the River totalling 4805 acres. Later nearly all of this .property came into the hands of the Allston fa1nily. The first Alls tons to move to W accan1a ,v, two brothers, John and William, came about 1730 from St. John's, Berkeley, and settled at "The Oaks" and "Turkey Ifill"; their descendants ultimately developed success£ ul rice planting on a large scale. This family has served the Church and State well. At scarcely any time since the incorporation of All Saints in 1767 to the present( 1948) has there ever been a year when there ,vere n~ Allstons on the vestry, and at least one of the family, the Rev. Benjamin Allston, served with distinction in the ministry. Most of the earlier grants of land north of Hobcaw seen1 to have been made about 1711 and later to Landgrave l{obert Daniell, Thomas Hepworth, Michael Brewton, Joseph and Percival Pawley, and others. It appears that in the eighteenth century Waccamaw was more thickly settled by ,vhite people living on small holdings in pioneer fashion than later ,vhen di­ vided into large plantations. All Saints Parish is the second of the n1any children of Prince George, Winyah, the mother of churches north of the Santee. The latter, formed by the Colonial Assembly March 10, 1721, was bounded by the Santee on the south, the Cape Fear l{iyer on the north, the Atlantic ocean on the east, and "to the W est,vard as far as 5t shall be inhabited by his majesty's subjects;" and from this expanse of parochial territory Prince Frederick's Parish first was carved to the west in 1734 and next All Saints Church, Waccamaw, in 1767. The early rectors of Prince George tried to minister to their widely scattered people as best they could, but probably no corner of the Parish was more inaccessible than Waccama\v. With no connection with the mainland on the south, east, and ,vest except by water, the Parish has up to recent years always been remote and inaccessible, sparsely settled, and a region apart f ron1 the rest of the county and state. The first rector of Prince George, the Rev. Thomas Morritt, 1723-1734, does not speak of ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW ever having visited Waccama,\'; he says his widely scattered flock lived along the· banks of three. rivers which made it con­ venient for them to get to church though difficult to do pastoral visiting. He does not explain why the advantage does not work both .ways. Writing to the Bishop of London on February 3, 1735 · he says, "In ye Upper as well as lo,ver districts of this Parish there is a considerable increase of People this few Years, insomuch ye remotest parts are now become ye best settledt for \Vackama w Neek according to ye plan I sent yr Lordship think ymselves hardly dealt ,vith yt they are not provided for as a separate Parish but are an appendage still of Prince Georges, web I must own they labour under great hardships because they can attend divine service no other way yn come by watr wch sometimes is very hazardous in blowing weather." His successor, the Rev. John Fordyce who came in 1736 and died 1751, evidently began work on the Neck, and about this time a church building was erected on the site of the present edifice, the land having been given by Thomas George Pawley who was born December 16, 1699, and married Mary Allston in 1719. His name is perpetuated in Pawley's Island, the prin­ cipal summer resort on this coast. Writing February 1, 1739, Mr. Fordyce says, "I generally preach at the Chapel of Wacka­ n1aw once per annum, being a part of George Town parish at a Distance and inconvenient for Travelling vi here I had a Large Congregation of Religious people and about 15 Communicants, upon the first Day of Lent 1737-8 having given notice of my attendance upon that occasion." He also baptized some children there. This is· the earliest mention of a church building. Mou­ zon' s map of 1775 shows the "Cha1pel" on the present location of the parish church. Writing later, he says, "'"fhe 19th of July Last (1741). I preached at Wackamaw Chapel, a Distant part of Prince Georges Parish having given notice of my attendance and Design a Month before. I administered the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, at which time I had 20 Con1municants, Religious and Devout People, most of then, ,vere formerly Inhabitants of St. John's Parish." For fully thirty years the church on \Vaccama\v depended on the ministrations of the clergy fron1 Georgeto,vn, but services must have been few and far bet\veen. Often for years at a time 8 BEGINNING AND GROWTH

Rrince George would be without a rector and even when one ,vas resident, he only visited the N eek at long intervals. But there are no records of the parish prior to 1819 and our knowledge of those early years is quite incomplete. The agitation for a separate parish bore fruit in 1767; in that year the Colonial Assembly passed an act creating two ne" parishes, All Saints in Craven county and St. Luke's in Gran­ ville county. The Act of 1767 recites that: WHEREAS, several inhabitants on the South-west part of the ,parish of St. Helena, and also several inhabitants on Wac­ camaw Neck, in the parish of Prince George, by their petitions to the General Assembly, have represented many inconveniences which they are under, for want of having the said parishes of St. Helena .and Prince George divided, and that part of the parish of St. Helena, known by the name of the Euhaws part of the said parish, and also that 1part of the parish of Prince George, known by the name of Waccamaw, established into separate parishes, and prayed that a law may be passed for that purpose: we therefor pray his most sacred Majesty that it may be enacted, I. And he it enacted, by his Excellency the Right Honorable Lord Charles Greville Montagu, Ca!ptain General, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over his Majesty's said Province, by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Council and the Commons House of Assembly, and by the authority of the same, . . . . that another parish shall be laid out and established in Craven county aforesaid, in the •following manner; that is to say, all the lands which lie between the sea and Waccama ,,~ river, as far as the boundary line of North Carolina .... and that the parish in the county of Craven shall hereafter be called and known by the name of All Saints; and the inhabitants thereof shall and may use, exercise and enjoy all the rights, privileges. and immunities that the inhabitants of any other parish do or can use, exercise or enjoy, by the laws of this Province. II. And whereas, the commissioners of the public roads in the parish of Prince George, have thought it necessary to make a ne,v causey instead of that commonly called Lynch's causey, and have agreed to assess all male persons between sixteen and sixty years of age, residing in the said :parish the sum of forty shillings each, for making the said causey, Be it therefore enacted by ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW 9 the authority aforesaid, That the inhabitants of the parish of All Saints shall be subject to the said assessment of forty shi~lings, notwithstanding the p~ssing of this Act, after payment of which assessment they shall not be liable to any other charge for or concerning the said causey. IV. And be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the expense of maintaining the poor, at present upon the said parish of Prince George, shall be borne and def rayed by the inhabitants of both the iparishes of Prince George and All Saints ; and that all such monies as have been received by the churchwardens and vestry of the ,parish of Prince George and have not yet been expended, shall be equally divided between the said parishes of Prince George and All Saints. V. And be it also enacted by the authority aforesaid, 1'hat from and after the dissolution of the present General Assembly, the inhabitants of the parishes of St. Helena and Prince George, and also the inhabitants of the said parishes of St. Luke and All Saints, qualified by law for that purpose, shall choose and elect two members, and no more, to represent each of the said parishes in the General Assembly, any law, usage or custom to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding;· and that writs for the electing of members to serve in the General Assembly, for each of the said parishes shall be issued in the same manner and at the same times as for the several other parishes in this Province, according to the directions in the Act entitled "An Act to ascertain the manner and form of electing members to represent the inhabitants of this Province in the Commons House of Assembly, and to appoint who shall be deemed and adjudged capable of choosing or being chosen members of the said House." VI. And be it also enacted by the authority aforesaid ... That a church, chapel and parsonage house in the said parish of All Saints ( shall be built) at such places within the bounds of the said parish as a majority of the co1n1nissioners hereafter na111ed .... shall order and direct. VIII. And be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, . . . That William Allston, Joseph Allston, Charles Lewis, William PavvleY,

Josias Allston, William Allston, Jr. and John Clarke, be, and th~v., are hereby appointed, commissioners or supervisors for the build- ing of the new church, chapel and parsonage house in the said parish of All Saints ; and they, or the major part of them, are 10 BEGINNING AND GROWTH fully authorized and impc)\,vered to purchase a glebe for the said parishes respectively, and to take subscriptions, and to receive and gather, collect, and sue for all such sun1 or sun1s of n1oney, as any pious and well disposed person or persons shall give and contribute for the ipurposes aforesaid; and in case of the death, absence or ref using to act of any of the said con1.missioners, the churchwardens and vestry of the said parishes of St. Luke and .A.II Saints, for the time being, respectively, shall and may non1i­ nate and appoint another person or persons to be con1111issioncr or commissioners in the rootn or place of such so dead, absent or refusing to act, as to the said church,vardens and vestry shall seem n1eet; which commissioner or con1missioners, so to be nomi­ nated and appointed, shall have the san1e po\vers and authority for putting this Act in execution, to all intents and purposes, as the commissioners herein named. ****** P. Manigault, Speaker. In the Council Chamber, the 23rd day of May, 1767. Assented to: C. G. Montagu. The setting off of a parish in colonial days, it is evident, in­ volved much more than the mere establishment of a ne,v ec­ clesiastical unit : a parish was a political entity. U:pon the ,var­ dens and vestry devolved the duty of caring for the poor and indigent of the parish, collecting and disbursing funds for their support, promoting .peace and good conduct, looking after roads and ferries, and also supervising elections. Each parish ,vas entitled to send representatives to the ..Assembly; according to the above act, tvvo were to be elected annually fron1 All Saints. At this time there was a great deal of complaint that the Assen1bly was composed of an overwhelming representation from the pa­ rishes on the coast with a very inadequate number from the gro\\·­ ing population in the up country. And also the British Govern­ ment was determined to restrict the Colonial Assembly ,vhich ,vas none too subservient to authoritv from overseas; thev did ~ - not wish the Assembly to be enlarged by added representation. There£ ore the King vetoed several acts creating ne\v parishes in the lo,v country and in 1767 ordered all governors in America to veto all acts increasing or diminishing the number of Assembly members. For this reason the first act creating All Saints ,vas nullified in 1770. ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW ll

A New England traveller to the South in 1773, Josiah Quincy, in his diary writes of his visit to Waccamaw: '~22nd at Mr. Allston's a gentleman of immense income, all of his own acquisition, his plantations, negroes, gardens, etc. are in the best order. I have seen Lisbon and Wine Island grapes ,propa­ gated with great success, entertained with great hospitality and benevolence by his family. His good lady filled a wallet with bread, biscuits, wine, fowl and tongue, which I enjoyed at a sandy pine desert and at a refreshing spring, re111en1bering \Vorthy Mr. Allston and lady with warmth of affection and hearty beni­ sons, we had his servant as our guide for 30 or 40 miles much to our preservation from many vexatious difficulties." The revolution was close at hand and in a f e,v years the As­ sem·bly could take action without the danger of inter£erence from King or Royal Governor. On the 16th of March, 1778, the General Assembly of South Carolina passed a law enacted by "His Excellency Rawlins Lowndes, Esq., President and Commander-in-.Chief in and over the State of South Carolina, and by the Honorable the legislative Council and General. A.s­ sembly of the said state" again establishing All Saints Parish, Waccamaw. This act is identical in language with the earlier one except that hereafter the inhabitants of the parish of Prince George were to elect four members to the General Assembly and the parish of All Saints, two. The commissioners or supervisors of the new parish for the erection of a church and parsonage and the purchase of a glebe were Percival Pawley, Joseph and Thomas Butler; and the commissioners of public roads for the Parish were Benjamin Trapier, Thomas Butler, Anthony Pawley, Francis Allston, John Allston, Jr., William Vereen and William Spears. Although a number of men from Waccamaw served in the armed forces during the Revolution, the war seems to have scarcely touched the place. Colonel Robert Heriot of the An1cri­ can army who had his home on Hobcaw Barony was at one tin1e a prisoner of the British in Charleston. In his absence a British gunboat came up the river and shelled his home, killing the negro butler. Daniel Morall served as a captain under General Peter Horry and General Francis Marion. After the war ~rhen the Constitutional Convention was held in 1788, he and Thomas • Allston were delegates from All Saints Parish. Captain Willian1 12 BEGINNING AND GROWTH

Allston was a catptain of the American n1ilitia. l{achel Moore,ra descendant of Roger Moore, was married on January 19, 1775 to the above-n1entioned Captain William Allston of the American Army and of "True Blue" Plantation, Wac­ camaw. She had previously been engaged to a Mr. Neufville of Charleston who had gone to Europe and was reported to have died there. The n1arriage to Captain Allston, a widower with two sons, only took place after some pressure f rotn her family. He died in 1781 not long after the Battle of Cowpens, in which he had taken part, leaving an infant son named Washington .A.llston who was in later years to become the distinguished.painter. Jared B. Flagg in his "Life and Letters of \Vashington Allston" gives the following account of the visit of Corn,vallis to \Vac­ camaw: ''The spring after Captain Allston's death, Lord Corn­ wallis selected as his headquarters the plantation of the \Vido"· Allston, and with his staff, took up his abode at her house. His Lordship and officers were extremely kind and courteous, con­ ducting themselves rather as gentlemen on a visit to a friend than as representatives of a hostile army in the house of one of the enemy. The uttnost consideration and deference ,vcre sho\vn in the endeavor to con f orn1 to the customs of the house; nothing on the premises was injured, and the widow ,vas pleased by their gentle and considerate deportment. One day at dinner, having learned through the servants that there was an infant in the house, named Washington, his Lordship politely requested the young mother to present them to the little general ; she assented, and the child was carried around the table, receiving the admiration and playful caresses of all present." • Dr. Henry Collins Flagg, son of a wealthy shipping 111erchant of N e,vport, Rhode Island, ,vho had been chief of the n1edical staff of Greene's ar1nv. and \Vho had staved., in the South after the conflict, becan1e engaged to the wido,v Allston. Her f amilv., again intervened and put pressure on her to break the engage- ment as they did not wish her to marry "a Yankee adventurer." But the lady had a mind of her o,vn; she said that the first time she had 111arried to please then1, now she would 1narry to please herself, which she did. In spite of the fact that the family cut her off from her patrimony, the 111arriage proved a happy one; Washington Allston and his step-father were devoted to each other.

Major Benjamin Huger, who owned "Richn1ond" plantation just north of Georgetown on the Black River, had a summer cottage in the village on North Island and it was to this cottage that his negroes on the night of the fourteenth of June, 1777, brought three young officers who had landed in a small boat from a French vessel anchored off shore. The leader proved to be the Marquis de Lafayette who had come to America to aid the colonists in their struggle for independence. The next day Major Huger escorted Lafayette and his party to Calais, the southern­ most point of Waccamaw ; there they crossed to Dover on the other side of the bay and thence proceeded to Charles Town. Major Huger was killed before the lines of Charles To\vn on May 11, 1779. His son, Benjamin Huger, married Mary Allston, widow of Thomas Allston, who owned "Prospect Hill" on Waccama,v .. This house, though. much altered, still stands on this beautiful estate. Mrs. Mary Allston Huger of "Prospect Hill" survived her husband many years ; she it was who gave most of the money for the erection of the new All Saints Church in 1843. Captain William Alston of "Clifton", who owned "Prospect Hill" just to the south, had been an officer of militia during the Revolution. Here he entertained George Washington April 29, 1791, on his southern tour. Washington says: Thursday, 28, 1791 "Mr. Vareen piloted us across the Swash ( which at high water is impassable. and at titnes, by the shifting of the Sands is dan­ gerous) on the Long Beach of the Ocean; and it being at a proper time of the tide, "\\7e passed along it \\7ith speed and celerity to the place of quitting it, \\7hich is esti1nated 16 miles-five miles farther we got dinner and fed our horses at a Mr. Pauley's a private house, no public one being on the Road ;-and being met on the Road, and kindly invited by a Doctor Flagg to his house, ,ve lodged there; it heing ahout 10 miles from Pauley' s and 33 from Vareen's" The Long Beach referred to is the now well-known Myrtle Beach and Long Bay washes it. The George Pawley at whose home Washington. dined and had his horses fed was a veteran of the Revolution; his f amity had long been prominent planters on Waccamaw. Dr. Henry Collins Flagg who invited Washing­ ton to spend the night with him was the gentleman who had 14 BEGINNING AND GROWTH married the widow Allston and whose home was at "Brook Green" plantation. Friday, April 29, 1791 "We left Doctor Flagg's about 6 o'clock and air-rived at Captn. Wm. Alston's on the Waccamau to Breakfast. Ca:ptn. Alston is a Gentleman of large fortune and esteemed one of the neatest Ric~ planters in the State of So. Carolina and a proprietor of the most valuable ground for the culture of this article. His house which is large, new, and elegantly furnished stands on a sand hill, high for the Country, with his Rice fields below; the contrast of which with the lands back of it, and the Sand and piney barrens through which we passed is scarcely to be conceived. At Captn. Alston's we were met by General Moultree, Colo. Washington and Mr. Rutledge (son of the present Chief Justice of South Carolina) who had co1ne out that far to escort me to town.-We dined and lodged at this Gentlemans and boats being provided we left the next morning.-" "Clifton", where Washington stayed, was burned some years ago; a later owner rebuilt it along the original lines. "Prospect Hill", Major Huger's place was the scene of much brilliance when it was visited by President Monroe in April 1819. He was conveyed from there to Georgetown in "one of the plan­ tation barges, profusely decorated and adorned for the occasion with the United States colors proudly floating at its head. Eight negro oarsmen dressed in livery propelled the barge." Next to the south .:.·f ''Clifton" and, like the other places, front­ ing on the Waccamaw River, was "Alderly" plantation which was at one time owned by Colonel Francis Kinloch Huger; this gentleman was the hero of the daring attem1pt to rescue Lafayette from Olmutz in 1794 and for which he paid by having to spend eight months in a filfthy Austrian prison. "Brook Green" plantation, now the site of the beautiful garden and museum of modern sculpture, founded by Mr. A. M. Hunt~ ington of New York and given by him to the people of South Carolina, was owned hy William Allston. ,vho developed the place. N or'th of "Brook Green" and near "Wachesaw" was "Laurel Hill" plantation, the home of the wealthy Mr. Francis Marion Weston and of his son, Plowden C. J. Weston. The house stood ALL SA.INTS' CHURCH, W.ACCAMA W 15 upon a high bluff above the Waccamaw River and from it, rows of live oaks radiated like the spokes of a wheel. Today all trace of the plantation house and of the busy life of which it was the center has completely disappeared, the forest has reclaimed the spot and no human being lives within several miles of it. The ,plantations and their former owners are given as f ollo,vs in "Allstons and Alstons of Waccamaw" by Elizabeth Deas Allston: "Almost all of the plantations on Waccamaw from \Vinyah Bay to the Horry County line were owned at one time by an Alston or connection of the family. These places in order from south to north are as follows: "Strawberry Hill", John Ashe Alston, Jr. ; "Friendfield", "Belief ield", Charles Alston; "Young­ vitle", Mary Young nee Alston; ''Alderly", Maham Ward ; "l~ose Hill", Wm. Algernon Alston; "Forlorn Hope", John Allston, Sr.; "Clifton", Capt. William Alston; "Prospect Hill", Thomas Allston; "Fairfield", Charles Alston; "Oak Hill", J. LaBruce; "Bannockburn", J. Middleton; "Waterford", "Hagley", Pawley; "True Blue", Pinckney Alston; "Midway", Judge Dunkin; "Caledonia", Nesbit; "Woodville", "Waverly Mills", Wm. Al­ lston; "Litchfield", Tucker; "Wellbrook", "Oatland", "Turkey Hill", "The Oaks", Joseph Allston ; "Brookgreen", Capt. William Allston; "Springfield", Frances Withers; "Laurel Hill", "Long­ wood", J. Motte Alston. According to the first Federal census taken in 1790 there ,vere in Alt Saints Parish 530 whites, 1795 slaves and one free negro. Of the 1795 slaves the six Allston families o,vned 877, Robert Heriot 128, the two LaBruce f amities 98, John Morrall 60, and Dr. Henry Collins Flagg 43; so that these eleven families owned over twelve hundred, or t,vo thirds of all the slaves on Waccamaw. Dalcho says that in 1819 there were 736 white ,people in the parish. Dr. Porter states that in 1851 there were 150 white people in the parish and "upwards of six thousand slaves", ,vhich is probably an overstimate. It will he noted elsewhere that he says that during the War many of the negroes were carried into the interior of the state~ most of whom never returned. Colonel Joshua John Ward, at one time Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, owned as many as a thousand slaves, being 16 BEGINNING AND GROWTH one of the largest slaveholders in the state. There are fewer negroes on the peninsula now than formerly for with the decay of rice culture at the beginning of the present century numbers of them left Waccamaw to find work in George­ town; others joined the exodus to Harlem, so that the census of 1930 shows hut 1542 negroes; there being 289 white people of· all ages. Georgetown District, of which Waccamaw is a part, has always been a predon1inantly black county; in 1840 there were 2193 whites to 18,274 negroes, and a hundred years later in 1940, even with the emigration of negroes to the north and the consider­ able influx of whites due to the development of the wood pulp industry, there were still 58 percent negroes in the county. · The first clergyman who was actually rector of All Saints Parish appears to have been the Reverend James Stuart who was also Rector of Prince George Parish, Winyah, with his residence in Georgetown. He married the widow, Ann Allston Waties, daughter of Thomas Allston of Waccamaw, a lady of consider­ able wealth. Mr. Stuart had a colorful career. He entered upon his incumbency in 1772 ; the Revolution was close at hand and he was an outspoken Loyalist-much too outspoken as it later turned out, for he soon got into difficulties with the townspeople. He was mobbed and otherwise ill treated so that in 1777 he re­ signed, stating that he could no longer officiate. Later, when the British occupied Georgetown, he came back for a brief period but soon had to leave again, never to return. After his departure, a long interval elapsed when there \Vere no religious services held. On July 4, 1802, the Reverend John O'Donnell became rector of All Saints. His term of office was short indeed, for he left in July, 1804. We know almost nothing of him except that he was not a native of South Carolina, although in 1792 he was rector of St. Lukes Parish in this state. Seven years were now to pass with the parish vacant, but the time of awakening was at hand. In 1812 the Rev. Hugh Fraser was elected rector of All Saints Church. He was born in Scot­ land in 1763 and came to South Carolina in 1793, serving as rector of Prince Frederick's Parish until his resignation in 1810. He continued at All Saints until 1817, and in after years occasion­ ally officiated here when the parish was \vithout an incumbent. The Reverend Hugh Fraser, Rector

ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW

In 1814, he reported for All Saints Parish: Marriages 2, Fun­ erals 5, Communicants 15. In 1796, he owned the place· called "Calais", the western half of the lower end of Waccamaw Neck, containing about 1600 acres. It was for him that the point of land jutting into Winyah Bay was given the name of Fraser's Point, which it still bears. He took a prominent part in the councils of the Church, being a delegate to the General Convention of 1814 from South Caro­ lina. In 1815, he preached the annual sermon before the diocesan Convention and the request was made that it be published. Mr. Fraser is said to have been of great literary ability, a con­ secrated man of God and n1uch beloved by his parishioners. The tablet on the walls of the third Church stated that under his pastoral care "this Church was re-established." He died in All Saints Parish, December 1838, at the·age of seventy-five. His rectorate coincided in time with fhe episcopate of the Right Reverend Theodore Dehon, the second bishop of South Carolina. Those were the years of re-awakening in the Diocese, the years of recovery and re-establishment; certainly, this period marks the beginning of a new order at All Saints as in so many other churches in South Carolina. The old corner stone has been badly mutilated by vandals at some time in the past and several dates are missing. However, an old copy of the inscription may be quoted as saying that "The first edifice built of wood was built about A.D. 1798, by Capt. John Allston, was repaired in 1817." Bishop Dehon says, "In the parish of All Saints, Waccamaw, there has been finished, with a laudable zeal, a very neat and comm9dious building, which in November (1816) last, was duly consecrated by the name of the Parish Church of All Saints. The same godly zeal has, in this parish, enclosed with a decent fence the chambers of the dead." Bishop Dehon had just been speaking of the recent erec­ tion of St. Paul's Church, Charleston, and he seems to be de­ scribing here too the completion of a new building. This building like its predecessor and its successors stood on the land given long before by Mr. Pawley. An "elegant" Bible and Prayer Book were presented to the Church by Mrs. M. A. Allston which are still in the keeping of the parish. The connection of the church with the rest of the Diocese appears to have been slender in these early years; not until 181'3 18 BEGINNING AND GROWTH did a lay delegate, Dr. J. 0. Watson, attend a convention. The rector, Mr. Fraser, was not present and no parochial report ,vas. submitted. There were no laymen present the f ollo,ving year when Mr. Fraser reported. All Saints \\ras unre'presented from then until 1817 when the Rev. Mr. Fraser and Mr. John H. Tucker appeared and took their seats. They reported the number of communicants increased to 21 and in 1818 the Rev. Andre\\~ Fowler, visitor, reported communicants, 18 whites and 20 blacks .. Dalcho, writing in 1819, says that in the summer months the people removed to the seashore. This ,vas evidently to the su1n­ mer village on North Island where there was at one time quite a settlement. The excellent map of Georgetown District in '~Mill's Atlas" whieh was made in 1825 shows this village and, in connection with it, a church or summer chapel. Both were probably destroyed in the great storm of September, 1822, one of the worst ever experienced by white people on this coast. 1~he same map shows the "Lower Church'." as well as the Parish (;:hurch and rectory. Immediately opposite the latter to the east stood the "Muster House". The task of driving a carriage ten or twelve 111iles through heavy sand to the Parish Church, or going by boat up or do_,vn the Waccamaw and three-quarters of a mile into Chapel Creek to the landing behind the Church, made it difficult to gather the congregation. To meet the situation, in 1820 a neatly furnished building was erected in the southern part of the parish at "Oak Hill", a site just northeast of "Prospect Hi11"', Major Huger's place. A little later thi~ church was consecrated by Bishop Bowen. It was "altered and enlarged in 1841 by the addition of .six :pews and sittings for one hundred and twenty negroes." This was always spoken of as "The TJower Church" and bore no other name, being- in after years the center of religious life for lower Waccamaw as the parish register and early records sho,v. On April.21, 1819, President Jatnes Monroe visited Waccarna,v. He was accompanied by his lady and family, the Secretary of War, Mr. Gouveneur, the president's private secretary, T..t. Monroe, and the presidential aide. Colonel Condy. The party spent the night at "Pro~pert Hill'' leaving_- the following da~· in "Colonel Alston's e1ej!ant Nev/ ,~ ork harge ,vhich was ro,ved and steered by a co1npetent nun1her of responsible masters of vessels who had volunteered their services and over which proud~ ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW ly waved the Star Spangled Banner."

In 1819 the Rev. Henrv. Gibbes ,vas chosen rector and served. as such until 1829. Mr. Gibbes, born March 19, 1797, was- a native South Carolinian and closely related to many of his .pa­ rishioners, his mother being Elizabeth Allston, daughter oJ William and A·nn Allston, and his wife, Ann Isabella Mayra~t of Stateshurg, daughter of John and Isabella Mayrant. He .. ~as ordained by Bishop Bowen in 1818 at the age of twenty-one . .~11 Saints ,vas his first parish. He died May 24, 1833. Mr. William Hasell Wilson, who as a boy often stayed at the rectory ,vith Mr. and Mrs. Gibbes, in his "Reminisences" gives a delightful word picture of Waccamaw of that early day; the wealthy planters, nearly all related to one another, entertain­ ing lavishly, hunting and boating; the tremendously important rice culture and the great number of slaves. "My Uncle Henry Gibhes was Rector of All Saints Parish, Waccama,v, in which there were two church builings, both of them small frame structures. At the upper church, there was a parsonage where the rector resided and a lot of about twenty acres. The lot bordered on Chapel Creek which emptied into the Waccamaw River at the di~tance of about three-fourth of a mile ...... Referring to the churches in All Saints Parish, services were held on alternate Sundays at the upper and lower church; I have no recollection of any week-day services, but possibly they may have been held on special occasions. Not much attention was paid to Saints days and church festivals at that period. The plantations being large and the white population limited, the attendance at church was small, the number rarely exceeding twenty persons. There was no musical instrument and very few singers. Aunt Isabella led off in the psalms and hymns, and frequently had no support; when I was there I did my best to assist her. I do not think there was any robing room at the upper which was the principal church, and I am confident that there v.1as none in the lower, as I have seen Uncle Henry putting- on his surplice in the shelter of the bushes. The upper church ,vas surrounded by large trees, the adjacent ground being cleared of under growth. The lower church stood a short dis­ tance from the public road on a sandy spot of ground, upon which the only growth was small scrub oak trees." In Mr. Gibbes' time the Parish Register was begun, the first 20 BEGINNING AND GROWTH entry being the baptism of Benjamin Allston, son of Joseph and Sarah W. Allston in 1819. The old bro\\'n leather covered regis­ ter is still used as such and is of fascinating interest to every lover of Waccamaw and its people. Fortunately the earlier clergy wrote a beautiful hand and the record was scrupulously and neatly kept. Often it is with difficulty that one deciphers the entries of later years.

CHAPTER II - EXPANSION AND COLLAPSE

Mr. Gibbes resigned in 1829 and now it was shortly the great good fortune of All Saints to have as its rector for the next thirty-three years one of the n1ost capable and devoted clergy who ever served his l\tlaster in South Carolina. Among the wealthiest of the many well-to-do planters of Waccamaw of this ,period was Francis Marion Weston, Esq., of "Laurel Hill". In the 1830' s, he brought over to this country a young English­ man, Alexander Glennie, to be tutor to his son, Plowden C. J. Weston. Mr. Glennie was born in Surrey in 1804. He began serving as lay reader in the Parish and was soon admitted as a candidate for Holy Orders. Being made deacon by Bishop Bowen in 1832 and priest on February 13, 1833, he shortly be­ came rector of All Saints Parish and began a work which was to be recognized far and wide and the memory of which lasts to this day. The circumstances were ideal ; a young, energetic, consecrated priest, and with him working hand in hand a devout layman of great ability and tremendous wealth, both devoted to the samt ideal-the upbuilding of the Church and the conversion of souls, ,vhite and black, to Jesus Christ. Plo,vden Weston, Mr. Glennie's former pupil, served both Church and State with marked ability. As a rice planter on a large scale, he owned a great number of of slaves and to him they represented a stewardship and a grave responsibility. He thought of them as God's children to be brought to Jesus Christ, to be trained and instructed in the Chris­ tian way of life. He and Mr. Glennie spared neither time, money nor labor in their service to these negroes. Other plant~rs cooperated in Christian ,vork among their slaves and in course of time, Mr. Glennie erected thirteen chapels on the various plantations for this ministry. Perhaps the n1ost pre­ tentious was St. :rviary's Chapel, built on a high bluff overlooking the Waccamaw at "Hagley" on Mr. Plod,ven Weston's place. Though long abandoned and \vith great gaping holes in the roof, St. Mary's stood until about 1930 \\Then it ,,·as burned in a for­ est fire. This chapel was cruciform, with high deep chancel sur­ mounted by a rood beam and three tall lancet windows over where the altar had stood. w·ith transepts deep and high, it must have been a lovely church in its day. It \\·as no n1ere preaching hall, 22 · · EXPANSION AND COL~APSE but the creation of someone who had ,poured upon it good taste, reverence, and a love of beauty. · In the month of November ( 1841) the services of a Catechist, duly approved by the Bishop, were obtained, ,vho before the en

"Dr. Glennie's duty was to hold services at the parish church 011 Sunday morning for the planters. "fhe parish was over twenty miles long, and some of the parishioners lived on Sandy Island, and had to cross the Wacca1na\iv River to get to church, so it ,vas impracticable to have more than one service. However, there were upwards of six thousand slaves in his parish, and his heart went out to them as to sheep without a shepherd. The n1asters of the people gave him every encouragement, and many of them built very comfortable chapels on their places. "He of ten ,vent to some neighboring plantation and held ser­ vices at nine o'clock, returned to the parish church at -eleven, dined on a cold dinner, and after officiating in the afternoon at other plantations, would get back home between eleven and twelve on Sunday night. During the week, he daily visited two or three plantations, and all the children at each would be as­ sen1bled at the chapel, and he would orally teach them the cate­ chism, portions of the Church service, several of the selections of the Psalms and many hymns. Three, and sometimes four times a week he held service at night at the last plantation he reached in the afternoon of his rounds. On these occasions the plantation hands were taken from their tasks a couple of hou~s be£ ore the usual time £or service. On n1ost of the plantations, the wife and daughters of the owner of the slaves regularly taught the children, not only on Sunday, but three or four tin1es a week, carrying on Mr. Glennie's instruction. The result ,vas a great many more communicants among the slaves than an1ong the owners. "It is true that there \Vere thousands of slaves, and only one hundred and fifty whites. Yet though these people could not read, they had learned the service so ,vell that the responses ,vere always full and hearty. Mr. Glennie ,vas a saintly 1nan, guileless as a child. He was never excited and never depressed." Bishop Philander Chase, the famous missionary bishop of the middle west paid Waccan1aw a visit and ,vas n1uch impressed by what he saV-l. He writes : "Waccan1aw Parish, S. C., May 5th, 1840 Parsonage at Mr. Glennie's " ......

Tuesday, 11th. At the plantation of Mr. Plowden Weston, Mr. Glennie catechised the colored children and I preached to the adults. Wednesday, April 12. Preached in the forenoon at the Lo,ver Church to the white congregation. At night, to a large congrega­ tion of colored persons at the plantation of Mr. Tucker, a nu111bcr of white persons being also present. Here we had the pleasure of being joined by the Rev. Mr. Hening, of the African Mission. Thursday, April 13. At night, attended service at the planta­ tion of Mr. Pinckney Alston. Mr. Hening prea·ched to a large congregation of colored persons, to whon1 also I addressed a few words. Friday, April 14. At the Upper Church I preached and con­ firmed four white persons and twenty colored, and at night Mr. Hening preached to a large congregation of negroes at the planta­ tion of Mr. Francis Weston. Saturday, April 15. Attended Mr. Glennie's examination of one of his classes of colored children. They were about fifty in number, and their knowledge of the truths of the gospel, and · of the various services of the Church showed plainly what close and careful attention they had received f ro111 their pastor and from their proprietors. I cannot take leave of this parish without bearing witness to the faithful labors, both of the pastor and owners, in imparting religious instruction to these slaves. And I desire to submit it very seriously to all candid n1inds, who'se labors tell best upon the interest, both temporal and eternal, of these slaves-those of the persons who are thus near them, in con­ nection with them every day and really faithfully laboring for them; or those of foreigners who give to the slave the cheap and easy tribute of en1pty declamation. The Southern 111ind can ,vell bear to leave the decision of this issue to the great day of appeal. These remarks are, of course, intended to apply not only to the parish of All Saints, but to the whole Southern country, ,vhere like efforts are made.'' The fallowing is an account of the visit of the Bishop in 1855 : · "March 28--(Wednesday afternoon) Bishop arrived accotn­ panied by Rev. Thomas J.

One of the most useful recruits was a lavman,., Mr. D. D. Rosa, \vho came as a catechist. A devoted and devout Churchman he taught and layread for years, and after the ,var conducted the school on Waccamaw. Dr. Glennie's annual parochial reports are a record of trem­ endous activity.

Remarks-At the end of last December, Rev. L. C. Lance and Rev. J. H. Quinby left the parish for other fields of duty. The Rector has obtained the service of Mr. B. H. Carter, as ~ Catechist, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the removal of Rev. Mr. Quinby. The plantation chapels have been built in the past year. The largest class of negro children is 78, the smallest is 5. The Rt. Rev. Thomas Atkinson, D.D., Bishop of North Caro­ lina, about this time ,,1rote Dr. Glennie asking. him to describe his ,vork and method in detail, to ,vhich he replied as follows:

"Right Reverend and Dear Sir: In accordance with your request I send to you the follo,ving statement in relation to the religious instruction of the Negroes in this Parish. When I con1menced this work nearly 30 years ago I used only a portion of the daily Service, omitting the Psalter, the Psalms & the N e,v Testament. But after a few years I abandoned this practice, & have habitually gone through the entire morning or evening- Service with my Negro Congregation, having taught them the versicles after the Lord's prayer & Creed, & directing them to repeat with me every alternate verse in one of the selec­ tions of the Psalms. In congregations which have been for many years under my charge the responding is good, & the chanting & singing are con­ ducted with much spirit. Of late years when I have taken charge of a Congregation \vhich have not been accustomed to the Services of our Church, I have invariably introduced the entire Service, & in a very short time the people have becon1e interested in our n1ode of ,vorship & have learned to respond correctly. As with few exceptions my services for the Negroes are in the afternoon and evening, the order for daily Evening prayer is that which is most frequently used. ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, W ACCAMA vV 31

From the first I saw the necessity of carrying the Adults through a course of Catechetical instruction. 'fhis I gave them immediately after my Sermon. The Sermon is son1etimes ex­ ten1poranequs, upon a portion of one of the lessons, or it is a short written discourse; most frequently the latter. In this case I divide the sermon into three or four portions, after each of ,vhich I question the congregation upon what I have said. This keeps up their attention & gives me an opportunity of explaining to them more fully the subject in hand: its beneficial effects have been n1anifest: & some of the more intellignt among them have acknowledged to me with expressions of thankfulness that they have learned so much under this system of instructions. Before concluding I have from time to time gone through portions of the Church Catechism, & of the Liturgy, explaining & asking questions. . The Plantations in this Parish extend f.or about 30 miles along the river. The Negroes therefore cannot be brought together fron1 several plantations, & divine service is conducted in routine upon each of them under my charge. When I have two assis­ tants with me, there is divine service on eight different plantations every Sunday, & on others at night during the week. Each is thus visited once a fortnight, some two or three once a week. On many of the Plantations very neat Chapels have been erected; some of these are superior to the ordinary country parish Churches. The Children are catechized during the week. I teach them the Church Catechism, questioning then1 upon each ans,ver after the manner of Rev'd. P. Trapier's questions upon portions of the Book of Common Prayer written by myself. This exercise, enlivened from time to ti1ne by singing hymns and chanting, occupies me and my assistants from one hour to one hour & a half on each plantation once a fortnight: on a few once a ,veek. When the Planter, or some 1nember of his family engages in this \\"Ork, conducting divine Service on Sunday, Catechizing the younger Children frequently during the week, and the elder ones, ,vho have been put to work, on Sunday, the improvement of the people in the knowledge of the divine truth is very perceptible. On one plantation I received most efficient aid in this ,vay for many years. It was truly delightful to conduct divine Service in the crowded Chapel, to hear the loud and accurate responding 32 EXPANSION AND COLLAPSE and the hearty singing and chanting, and also to examine the children, sometin1es for t,vo hours, upon the Church Catechisn1 and portions of the Liturgy. They whose labour of love \vas thus blessed are now at rest, but their people are still cared for; their present owner having a resident Catechist, so that the ,veek­ day catechizing and the services on the Lord's day are continued un-interruptedly. · · On n1any of the Plantation~ the Master, and Mistress stand as the Sponsors at the baptism of the children. On others, the Parents, or s01ne of their friends undertake this duty. At every visitation of the Bishop many of the colored popula- tion are confirmed. .l The communicants who reside near the Church partie'( of the Lord's Supper along with the white communicants oft e Parish. To those who reside at a distance from the Church the h y Sacra­ ment is· administered from time to time in the plantation Chapel. A most important regulation, connected with the moral im­ provement of the Negroes, is that which requires them to;: he join­ ed together_ in matrimony acording to God's ordinance~· Many of the Planters of this Parish have for many years insisted upon this, and the benefit of such a rule, acording so entirely with their obligations as Christians, has been very manifest. ·It. is easier to carry out this practise on large plantations in the ·country, where the parties in almost all cases belong to the same owner, than in towns and villages: but the hope may he indulged 'that the time is approaching when -provision shall be made by ot~r Legislature to prevent the separation of married slaves. · When I was ordained in 1832 there \\Tere 10 colored Com­ municants attached to the Church in this Parish. Since that date there have been added 519. Of these, manv. have died ' manv. have been moved a,vay, and a few have heen suspended: the num:ber reported at the last convention was 289. The sick and the aged are visited frequently. The discharge of this pastoral duty produces very happy effects. Human beings love sympathy and kind attentions, and the affections & confi­ dence of the Negroes are thus gained, while we converse with them, listen patiently to them, and minister to their spiritual wants.

The corner­ stone was laid Dec. 27, 1843. The inscription on it being as follows: The first edifice built of ,vood before the/Revolution was taken do\\'n about 179-/The second also of wood was built about A. 0.-/By Capt: John Allston; was repaired in 1813/and was taken down in 1843 /This third edifice will be erected chiefly/ ,vith the funds bequeathed to this Church by /Mrs. Mary Huger daughter of the above/Capt: John Allston/Building Committee: Edward Heriot/Francis M.

M./Rector of this Parish Dec 27, 1849/Glory be to God/ Father, Son- Later the vestry placed a tablet on the walls of the Church in memory of Mrs. Huger who died in 1836. The building was of brick and stucco with large columns on the front porch, and galleries along each side for negroes. It was handsomely fur­ nished. In 1845 Dr. Glennie reports: "The new Church, built upon the site of the old Parish Church, has been used £or Divine service since the end of October. It is nearly completed, and we are looking forward to its consecration by the Bishop in the month of April. A suitable and fine toned organ has been pre­ sented to it by one of our Wardens ( Col. Joshua J. Ward)." Mrs. Francis M. Weston presented a Bible, prayer book and a chancel chair, a marble font and a carpet for the chancel desk and pulpit. Mr. Plowden C. J. Weston supplied the furniture. Bishop Gadsden did consecrate it that year. 34 EXPANSION AND COLLAPSE

In those days an in1portant business was the selling and owner­ ship of the pev.rs, upon the proceeds of which the church depended for its support. It was a system productive of many evils, \vhich has been almost entirely- abolished in the American Church but at that time it was the accepted met~od of raising money and f i- nancing the organization. Now that the new Church was com­ pleted, a committee of the Vestry was appointed to arrange £or the proper disposal of the pews. They "respectfully report that in accordance with the resolution they set apart in lieu of the pews occupied and ovn1ed by Persons in the old church such pews as are in the san1e position, or as near as may be to them, in the new Church as f ollo,\1 S: No. 3 to Ben j.

$1,820." There were thirty benches in the gallery for negroes, these were numbered so as to correspond with the pews in the church below so that the negroes of each family had a bench of their own (omitting Nos. 12 and 13 which were public pews). The holders of pews were informed that they might purchase benches of the same nun1ber for the sum of $50 each. It developed that nine pew-holders wanted titles to benches and paid a total of $450 for them. It was necessary to have ushers or "sextons" in the gallery to keep order and to see that the colored worshippers were prop­ erly seated, so on April 12, 1847, the vestry appointed the fallow­ ing: "East gallery, Tim of Oatlanq and Cato of Litchfield; west gallery, Billy, Mrs. Pyatt's, and Bob of Waverly." · This third of the four churches that have stood on this site ,vas the largest and handsomest of them all. It served as the spiritual home of the people of Waccamaw for seventy years. The accounts of vestry meetings in those earlier days have a strangely familiar ring. There is the inevitable discussion of finances, with some mild surprise that the diocesan quota should be larger than the year before : after some discussion this last is ordered paid, though without euthusiasm. The roof of the church or the rectory is leaking ; a committee is appointed to attend to that. The rector's carriage house and stable needs repair : that is ordered attended to. The meetings were con­ ducted with dignity and decorum, and always with thoughtful­ ness and respect for Dr. Glennie. One is impressed with the very small proportion of income ex­ pended for causes outside of the parish : interest in the nation­ wide and ,vorld-wide mission of the Church was at a low ebb. While this is true generally in the Diocese, it was particularly true at All Saints where there was very little contact ,vith the outside world. There were exceptional individuals with larger interests but for the most part their world lay between the Wac­ camaw River and the Atlantic Ocean, the Kingdom of God within the bounds of All Saints Parish. At this time the salary of the rector was $1800 a year which 36 EXPANSION AND COLLAPSE

would amount to at least tvvice that sum in present day figures. The assistant rector was paid $500 a year. Salaries ,vere paid once annually on Easter Monday. On December 24, 1854, the vestry resolved to build a church at W achesaw about eight miles north of the Parish Church, this being near "Laurel Hill," and a building comn1ittee ,vas appointed to carry the plan into effect. 1'he corner stone ,vas laid by the Bishop of the Diocese April 11, 1855; and on lVlay 24, 1857, the Church was opened for divine service. There were eighteen pews, of which thirteen were sold at $100 each, and sixteen benches for negroes. It ,vas consecrated hy Bishop Davis on April 15, 1859. The corner stone bore the following inscription: East Side In the name of the Father /The Son and the Holy Ghost/ Amen/ The Right Revd. T. F.

The ron1fortahle old building nestling be­ hind the sand dunes still ser,·es the original purpose for which ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW ,37 it was erected, having safely \Veathered all the storms of the past ninety-odd years. In 1854 the parish suffered heavy losses in the deaths of t,vo of its most faithful and active lay officers. Mr. Edward Thomas Heriot on November 23 in his sixty-second year, and two days later Mr. Fr9ncis lVIarion Weston at the age of seventy-three. An important feature of the life of the con1n1unity was the school, All Saints Acade1ny, situated on the River Road about a quarter of a mile south of the church and rectory. It stood on the site of the present residence of Mr. B. A. Woodruff at the corner of the road to Waverly Mills. In 1838, Mr. Robert F. W. Allston who \Vas at Newport, Rhode Island, took time to ,vritc to the Rev. C. B. Thummel of Clinton, New York, a former student at the University of Halle and Tiibingen, offering him the position of school master. The school would be chiefly under the supervision of the rector, Dr. Glennie. There would be t,velve or fifteen children of both sexes and of ages from four to thir­ teen. The curriculun1 was to con1prise English, French, Latin, Greek, music and dancing. He was offered $2000 a year and would be given a house on the Mainland and one on the beach ( ,vhere he would have to take boarders). Mr. Thummel accepted the offer and came, but apparently did not stay long as he ,vas dissatisfied. Later the school ,vas conducted for a nu111bcr of years by the faithful catechist, :rvir. D. D. l{osa of N c,,~ York. January 7, 1843, the fallowing advertise1nent appeared in the "Winyah Observer" : ~

· The present day Waccan1a \V school has been conducted near All Saints Community House on the higlnvay for 111any years by Mrs. Joshua J. Ward. But the war clouds were gathering fast and war changes all things. South Carolina seceded in Decen1ber 1860 ,vith i\1r. John Izard Middleton representing All Saints Parjsh in the Se­ cession Convention. The fallowing year began the blockade of southern ports and the southern coast. Confederate 1\rtillerY and engineers erected Battery White on the south side of Winyaii Bay but no attempt was made to protect North Island and \,\' ac­ camaw except that the coast was patrolled. There was no in­ vasion by any large Union force until the fall of Charleston in the Spring of 1865, though beginning with 1862 federal ,var vessels, large and small, were frequently seen off shore and repeatedly landing parties came ashore on Pawley's, DuBordicu, and North Island to raid plantations, procure supplies and break up the salt vats. The planters moved into the interior of the state, taking their ·negroes with them. Always with the fear that the Federal forces n1ight ef feet a real invasion on this almost undefended coast, the local people urged the Con£ ederate authorities to see that it ,vas tnore strongly guarded, but the demand for soldiers in Virginia and in the West was too insistent for men to be diverted f ron1 these critical areas. Occasionally the raiders were attacked and driven off. On De­ cember 5, 1863, at Murrell's Inlet a boat party consisting of three officers and twelve seatnen v.rere captured by t,vo con1panies of Georgia cavalry under Captain Harrison. and on January 7, 1864, on Waccan1a,v Neck a Naval party of t,venty-five ,,ras captured by a lieutenant and a private of the T,vcnty-first Georgia Cavalry. The principal Con£ edcrate military organization on \Vaccan1a \\. was Ward's Light Artillery who patrolled this section of the coast. The officers were:

Joshua Ward, Captain Mayham Ward Ward, 1st Lt. P. R. Lachicotte, 2nd Lieut. J. J. Wortham, 3rd Lieut. Z. W. Dusenbury, Sergt-Major B. Huger Ward, Qm Sergt. ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMA \V 39

The roster contains the na1nes of many W accan1a ,v and George­ town people. The story goes that this con1pany ,vas engaged in building an earth,vork when a n1essenger arrived announcing that General Lee had surrendered, whereupon the soldiers "knock­ ed off and went home.'' In 1862 the Rev. VV. vVyndha111 Malet, an English Clergyman, came to visit the Westons on Waccamaw and in his book "A Southern Journey" he graphically describes the . disorganized life in time of war. Colonel Plowden Weston was with his regi­ ment in the Confederate Army in the west; Mrs. Weston and the children were refugeeing in Conway, some thirty miles to the north. The overseers were still carrying on the plantation life after a fashion. While Mr. Malet ,vas there, a Federal detach­ n1ent landed on the ocean side. He met them and as a neutral went on board a sloop. He officiated at All Saints Church once or twice during his visit and baptized· a white baby and a negro child. Colonel Weston \Vas of delicate physique and could not stand the life of the Army. In 1863 he was elected Lieutenant Gover­ nor of South Carolina and came home but died Jan. 25, 1864, in his 44th year. His body lies in an honored grave a fe,v yards f rotn the church he loved and served so ,vell. Dr. Porter says that Dr. Glennie's \VOrk kept up unin1peded and uninterrupted until 1862 when "everything like order was broken up. The slaves were removed to the interior and scat­ tered. The river planters were all ruined, many of the older men had to give up their plantations, son1e of the younger n1en had been killed, a con1paratively f e,v of the en1ancipated negrocs straggled back ... Ho"v often have I seen handsome equipages, four in hand, driven to that parish Church, which after the ,var .... remained closed. As for the poor negroes, their con1fortable homes were gone and such as survived ,vere mostly \vandering vagabonds." l)r. Glennie left and from 1862 to 1865 acted as rector of Prince Frederick's, Peedee. In the parish register, there are no baptisn1s recorded as being held at the parish church fron1 April 16, 1862 to l\iay 29, 1866. Baptisms are recorded as being held at vVaverly Chapel, Planters­ ville, St. Mary's Chapel, Choppee, ''Nightingale Hall", Peedee, and "Brookgreen''. Appare.ntly all activity had ceased at the parish church for the time being. 40 EXP ANSI ON AND COLLAPSE

that the Word sowed in these chapels was still bearing fruit. An old colored man who had a termagant ,vife ,vas told by his employer, who wearied of his office of umpire, that if he could not live in peace perhaps he had better separate fron1 her. "I can't do that, sir," said the hapless husband, "She's a Glennie ,vife," meaning that the Rev. Mr. Glennie, who had spent his life among them and married him, had so impressed their n1inds ,vith the sacredness of the bond that after all these years it still influenced their lives." After his departure All Saints was closed and deserted; St. John, the Evangelist, silent and lifeless, began to fall into decay and dilapidation. There is the story that after the War, the building being totally disused and in bad repair, Mr. Flagg pro­ posed to tear it down and use the material for the erection of a sumn1er cottage on the seashore directly to the East. The Neg­ roes said that it ,vould be very wrong to ma~e a sun1n1er cottage out of a Church building, but Mr. Flagg went ahead with his plans; the building was torn down and soon the walls of the cottage began to rise, when a storm came and blew it down. No­ thing daunted, the lumber was assembled again, and again the building erected, when there came another storm and blew it down a second time. That was the end of the sumn1er cottage and also of the Church of St. John the Evangelist. 1"'he silver chalice and paten no,v used at All Saints Church is from there and is engraved "St. John the Evangelist." The handson1e black walnut choir stalls are in Prince Frederick's, Peedee. The gentlemen on Waccamaw carefully tended the Lo,ver Church, disused as it was, as a memorial of happier days. l'he pews were transferred to Prince Frederick's Chapel in Planters­ ville where they are now in use; but one day shortly after the War, while burning some leaves from around the Church, a spark lodged in the roof and it was burned to the ground. The forest has long since closed over the place where the building once stood and but few people know the actual location of it. The only physical ren1inder left of the Lower Church is the bronze bell ,vhich in recent years has been given to All Saints Church and ,vhich is now used to call the people to the worship of God. The many plantation chapels were taken over by the negroes and soon resounded with barbaric shouting, the accompaniment of the debased Christianity of the emancipated slave.

Weston's plantation had come into the hands of Mr. St. Julian Mazyck. His story of the transfer of the windows is best told in his own words. "In 1866 I moved from n1y place of refuge in the interior part of the State, down to the plantation. I found the negroes in possession of everything and n1anaged only with great difficulty to get control of them and of the property of the plantation. "I soon found that the negroes had no disposition to retain their faith in the Episcopal Church, but becan1e members of every other denomination. I gave them full use of the church, trying to impress upon them the sanctity of the building, and calling their attention to the necessity of assisting me in keeping it in repair; but far from assisting me, they abused it in the n1ost ir­ responsible manner. They broke the stained glass ,vindows, ·tore up the books, and generally \vrecked the building. "It impressed itself upon me that I should take some n1eans to save these things as a sort of memento of n1y friends, the \Vestons. Learning that the people of Georgeto,vn desired to have a fire­ alarm bell, and that the Episcopal Church ,vas "·ithout a bell, I ,vrote to their wardens, Dr. Foster and Mr. Middleton, of fcring them a bell and clock f ram the Church. These gentlcn1en ac­ cepted the offer for the vestry of their church and ca1ne to Hag­ ley for the purpose of making arrangements for their re111oval, which was accomplished in a very short time. "While there, they admired the beautiful ,-vindo,vs throughout the church, and Dr. Forster mentioned that lvliss Hannah Trapier had left the sun1 of t,vo hundred dollars for the purpose of 'put­ ting stained glass windo\\rs in the Church of Prince George, \Vinyah, in the to,vn of Georgeto,vn. I i1nn1ediately said to hin1 that it would be a very nice thing if they could make arrange­ ments to take the windo,vs a\\~av frotn this church and carrv out . ~ Miss Trapier' s idea by placing them in the church in \vhich she felt so much interest. This ,vas accordingly done, the chancel ,vindo"r being put in the proper place and the other s1naller ,vin­ dows filling the t\vo handsome transoms over the east and \vest doors. "Some time after that, I sent thetn the gold con1n1union chalice, requesting that all these things should be noted as having con1e ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW 43 from the Hagley Church, where they had been placed by 1i!r. \Veston for the benefit and instruction of his slaves." The baptismal font from St. Mary's is at Grace Church, Can1- den. In 1867 Bishop Davis appointed a committee consisting of the Rev. Messrs. C. C. Pinckney, Peter J. Shand, and Paul Tra­ pier to "collect information concerning the destruction of churches and church property in the Diocese of South Carolina." Their report on Wacamaw gives a tragic picture of the desolation and decay of this once flourishing work. "The five churches at Georgetown and Waccamaw suffered less, only two of them losing their carpets and furniture. But the prostration of the once flourishing Churches on W accan1a ,-r is complete. They contained more wealth than any other rural parish in South Carolina, or perhaps in the South. There ,vere the homes of the largest rice planters qn this continent. Their provision for the temporal and spiritual welfare of their slaves was a standard to other planters. Numerous chapels, built by the proprietors for the use of their people, adorned the estates, where the services of our Church were as well perf orn1ed as in any other congregation in the land. The faithful labors of their revered pastor, Rev. A. Glennie, for thirty years had ,vrought blessed results, aided by the systen1atic teachings of the planters and their families. "Hundreds of the colored race \Vere communicants of our Church-thousands of colored children recited the catechisn1, and answered as intelligently as any of their age in Europe or Ameri­ ca; and the Lord's work seemed prospering and sure. .A.las, for the_ change in five or six years! Poverty has overtaken these desolated homes; the rice fields, rich as any land between the Mississippi and the Nile, lie desolate; their fonner laborers can scarcely be induced to work. "Their religious deterioration is painful. They have f orsakcn the way which they had learned, and. taken to themselves teachers of their own color. Fanaticism and extravagance rule in their religious assemblies to such an extent as to require the aid of the military to keep order and repress violence. There are indica­ tions of a return to African barbarism. There are no religious services re-established in the three churches on Waccamaw. The planters are bankrupt; their houses despoiled; their costly lib- EXPANSION AND COLLAPSE raries torn to pieces or shipped to Northern ports. What good the Lord may work out of the present confusion ,ve kno,v not; but to human eyes the present state of things is only evil to both races which inhabit these beautiful shores." Many of the Waccamaw plantations had their O\\rn graveyards and there the bodies of plantation owners ,vere of ten interred. In the Register from 1819 to 1867 there were 152 burials re­ corded. Of that number 105 ,vere in the graveyard at the Parish Church. The rest were either on the plantations or outside of the Parish. The family burying grounds are Nesbit and Vaux at "True Blue", Tucker and Allston at "Turkey Hill", Hazel­ urst and LaBruce at "Oak Hill", also LaBruce at "The Hern1i­ tage", Parker at "Brook Green", Flagg at "Cedar Hill", and Alston at "The Oaks". Most of these families and in addition those of McDowell, l\,fagill, Huger, Rutledge, I◄ raser, \Vard, Heriot, Belin, Rosa, Weston, and l{utledge Sn1ith interred their dead in the Parish Church-yard. There is only one interrn1ent recorded at the Lower Church, and none at St. John the Evangel­ ist. These plantation graveyards are most of then1 entirely aban­ doned and neglected, the principal exception being that at "'rhe Oaks". This is no,v a part of the Brook Green Gardens estate and is hcautif ully preserved and cared for, being visited annually by great numbers of people who co1ne to the Gardens. It has for them a romantic and melancholy interest as the last resting place of the body of Aaron Burr Alston, the little son of Gov. Joseph Alston and Theodosia Burr, ,vho died in 1812. It is interred in the same tomb with his father, Governor Joseph Alston, who died in 1816. 1"'heodosia :Burr 1\lston sailed fron1 Georgetown on the schooner "Patriot" in the fall of 1812, was lost at sea and never heard of again. The Parish Register, be­ ginning as it does in 1819, contains no record of this family, though they belonged to All Saints Parish. At "The Oaks" is the grave of John Waties, Sr., \Vho died in 1789. His family \Vere among the· earliest settlers on Wac­ ca1na,v though they had all moved away by the year 1800. The Parish Register contains no entries of baptisms, burials, etc., of negroes. Evidently a separate register was kept for then1 which has been lost. Dr. Glennie ,vould have been careful about keeping such a record. ALL SA.INTS' CHURCH, W ACCAMA \\' 45

On May 15, 1867, the Rev. Lucian C. Lance returned to All Saints but stayed only until the following November, having accepted a call to the Diocese of Maryland. In that period he conducted services and catechised the white children, hut he re­ ports no work among the negroes. For the next nine years there was no rector. The Rev. R. S. Trapier, missionary, reports having visited \Vaccama,v in 1868, and from 1872 to 1874, the Rev. W. H. Johnson, rector of the Church of the Messiah, North Santee, visited and held services at intervals. At other times the rectors of Prince George and Prince Frederick's officiated occasionally. 46 REBUILDING AND RECOVERY

CHAPTER III - REBUILDIN'G AND RECOVERY

If the old ,vay of life was gone beyond recovery, yet the fer­ tile marshes would still grow rice bountifully and the negro found that though he was no longer a slave, still a man n1ust labor to eat and live. The rice culture began again on a small· scale and soon gangs of negroes were at work repairing banks and culti­ vating the growing grain. This time there were no more over­ seers, the planters superintended the work themselves. Money was scarce and times were hard, but there was a living for all. With the restoration of the social and economic life came the beginning of the restoration of the Church. On December 17, 1876, the Rev. William Habershan1 Barn­ well was called at a salary of $700 a year, and later became rector. Mr. Barnwell, a native of Beaufort, born 1848, had just gradu­ ated from Virginia Theological Seminary and been made deacon. He began at once the work of rebuilding and recovery. No at­ tempt was made to reopen work at the chapels of ease, nor was there any organized effort to minister to the negroes who had nearly all drifted away into churches of their own. He con­ centrated his efforts on the strengthening of All Saints Church,

1 and in the summer services were held on the porch of the Pa\\ - ley's Island rectory. In 1878 he reported eighteen families and four individuals, thirtv-two.. white communicants and four colored . He held a total of 105 services the previous year and the people contributed $807 for church support. At the Convention Messrs. C. Allston, Sr., Arthur B. Flagg, M.D., Benjan1in H. Ward, and I ... C. Hasell, M.D., were the delegates. Three years later the communicants had increased to f arty-eight white and two colored. Mr. Barnwell married a daughter of Waccamaw, Miss Ann Mazyck, and his older children were born there. He was much admired and beloved by his people and he in turn loved Wac­ camaw to the end of his long life. Whenever opportunity of­ fered, he came back in after years to visit his old friends and to fish in the surf. He left in the spring of 1885 for Paris, Kentucky, and was succeeded April 5 of that same year by the Rev. Custis P. Jones of Baltimore. Mr. Jones resigned April 5, 1887, and was suc­ ceeded the following year by the Rev. G. T. Wilmer of Virginia ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMA\V 47 who stayed until 1891. The next rector was the Rev. LeGrand F. Guerry who returned no\v to the field where he had labored as a deacon thirty years before under Dr. Glennie. Mr. Guerry's rectorship was long and successful. He began to minister once more to the negroes on Waccamaw. As con­ ditions had become quiet and stable many of them felt again the call of the old Church in which they had been reared; their early training made its influence felt. Quite a number of them ,vel­ comed Mr. Guerry's ministrations. Where in 1887, there \Vere reported twenty-five white· communicants and one colored and no mention is made of services for negroes, in his parish report for 1894, Mr. Guerry says: "The Sunday services include the Mission services at Brook Green for colored people. I have baptized at this Mission during the year 12 children and 9 were con firmed by the Bishop last autumn. The number of colored communicants at the Mission, including a few who attend ser­ vices at the Parish Chucrh, is 46, of which twenty are males and twenty-six females." In 1897 Mr. Guerry reported twenty white communicants, a day school of fifty colored scholars, a Sunday School of forty colored scholars and in addition he says: "Of the services herein reported 38 have been held. for colored people, the remainder ( of a total of 85) have been held for \\·bites. There are twenty-two colored f amities belonging to the Church, seventy communicants. Holy Communion was administered four times during the year. There is every reason to feel encouraged as regards the Circuit ·n1issions. The people continue to attend the services with marked interest and great regularity, and a class of sixteen of them is now awaiting confirmation at the Bishop's next visitation." Ultimately the Negro church people of Waccamaw were formed into separate congregations, Ho1y Cross at Brook Green, and Faith Memorial at Waverly Mills. In recent years the structure at Brook Green was sold and the money used t~ erect a two-story parochial school building which now has about 200 pupils. Ser­ vices were conducted for a long time by the rectors of All Saints Church but in accordance ,vi th the changed policy of the Church, the colored congregation no,v has its own colored prie~t-in-charge, Rev. W. E. Forsythe. All Saints' Church, Waccamaw has always been blessed with the devoted ..service of Christian laymen who have freely given 48 REBUILDING AND RECOVERY

of their time and 1neans and labor to forward the cause of the Church. Among many others may be mentioned William Alger­ non Alston of "Rose Hill" who was born June 26, 1782, and died September 16, 1860, his body being buried at "The Oaks". He served as Chainnan of the vestry from 1836 to 1860. The t\vo men who ,vere outstanding in the period before the Confederate War ,vere Francis 1\'Iarion \Veston of "Laurel Hill" and his son, Plo,vden C. J. \V eston, vvho being \Vealthy them­ selves poured out their tnoney for the advancement of the cause of Christ on Waccamaw. Another father and son whose united service covered the span of more than half a century were Mr. D. D. Rosa and his son Mr. Joseph T. Rosa. The former, an educated gentleman from New York, came to serve as catechist, schoolmaster, and later vestryman; his son followed in his father's footsteps in humble devotion to the Church. Dr. Arthur B. Flagg, of a distinguished lineage, served re­ peatedly on the vestry and for many years represented All Saints Parish in the conventions of the Diocese until he and his familv,, lost their lives on Magnolia Beach in the great storm of 1893. Colonel Ralph Nesbit of ''Caledonia", son of Dr. Robert Nesbit, was vestryman and warden over a long period, and was f ollo\\yed in loyal service by his son, Ralph Nesbit, Jr., who labored un­ ceasingly in the difficult times in the parish early in this century. An active · and energetic Churchman was Captain St. Julian M. Lachicotte, "Cap'n Jule" to a wide circle of friends and ac­ quaintances, who served as a lay officer of the church for the greater part of his long life. When the church burned, he im­ mediately set to work with Mr. Ralph Nesbit and others to raise funds and make plans for the new building. That he and his companions acted so promptly and effectively resulted in the present church being erected in a short space of time without debt of any kind. He died November 10, 1933, aged 80. For many years Mr. Benjamin Porter Fraser of "Rose Bank", grandson of the Rev. Hugh Fraser, acted as lay reader, both at All Saints and also at Prince Frederick's Chapel, Plantersville, and at St. Peter's Mission, "Snow Mill". He had served as a boy soldier of the Confederacy in Virginia, walking home after the surrender. In addition to his service as lay reader at All Saints, he served in a like capacity and also as vestryman and Third Church, Burned 1915

ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, WACCAMAW 49 warden at Prince Frederick's for more than half a century. A cheer£ ul, lovable Christian gentleman, he died quietly on Sep­ tember 28, 1930, in his eighty-ninth year and his body is buried \vith those of his fathers in All Saints Churchyard. For more than a century the Wards have served All Saints Church faithfully from generation to generation, a f amity ser­ vice which continues to our own time. There have always been people on Waccamaw who felt a re­ sponsibility for the negroes and an urge to work for their well being. In 1869, Dr. Lewis C. Hasell leased and later purchased "Brook Green" from the heirs of Lieutenant Governor J. J. Ward. His wife, Miss Clemence Willett of New York, was a devoted Churchwoman. Her brother, Mr. Marinus Willett, with his wife and two children came to "Brook Green" to live. These families labored long and effectively for the negroes about them. In 1885 Mrs. Willett established an Epis~opal mission for them and later a stnall hospital. For the latter Dr. Arthur B. Flagg gave of his services freely, while the Church work was faithfully ministered to by the Rev. L. F. Guerry of All Saints. There was also a day school for negro children which was the prede­ cessor of the present day Faith Memorial School. Waccamaw has a healthy respect for a tropical storm. Once every so often the hurricane comes up from the West Indies and wreaks its fury upon this coast, leaving a dreadful trail of blind, indiscriminate destruction. The first storm of which we have any record was one of tremendous force in 1715 which cut through what is now North Inlet, separating North Island from the Mainland. The next great storm of record and one which left a lasting impression on the minds of the people was the great gale of 1822 when many lives were lost on the coast of South Carolina. In the woods on "Bannockburn" plantation is a badly broken tombstone, a pathetic memorial of a tragic incident: "To the memory of Elizabeth and her three children, Benja .... Franklin, .... , and Elizabeth, who . . at peaceful hour of midnight perished hy the fall of the house in which they resided ... and were, together with every ... stige of the building, swept to Sea ... gale on the 27th day of September, 1822. All lie interred here 50 REBUILDING AND RECOVERY

Others lost on North Island at this time V\rere his nephew, Withers Shackelford, a Dr. Myers, his wife, daughters and son, Mrs. Hannah Botsford, an old lady, Capt. Wish, an architect, Mr. Moses Ford, a Miss Scott and De Rosa, a stranger. The Rev. William Capers, the great Methodist missionary, says that during the storm "a house with its occupants and the lights still burning was seen by some members of the Alston f an1ily on DuBordieu, floating off from North Island." The older people of this generation remen1ber vividly the storn1 that struck on October 13, 1893. In the words of Mr. Guerry: "It swept over that portion of the coast which is embraced in the Parish of All Saints, destroying entirely the houses of Dr. H. N. Tucker and Mr. B. P. Fraser on the northern end of Pawley's Island, and partially destroying those of Capt. P. It Lachicotte and Mr. L. C. Lachicotte. Every house on l\1agnolia Beach was carried away except Mrs. L. C. Hasell's, and also all of the inhabitants except the inmates of the latter house, and a few others who saved then1selves aln1ost n1irarulously some on the roof of a house that floated inland and some by clinging to small trees until the tide turned. Manv. of the houses also on Pawley's Island, besides those that V\1ere entirely carried a\vay, ,vere submerged fron1 t,vo to three feet on the first floor.

Dr. Flagg had been for n1anys years a loyal friend of the Church. Bishop Howe in his Con­ vention address the fallowing year says: "In the death of Dr. .A.rthur B.

As \T estry1nan. l .. ay Header. and 111cn1her of the Diocesan Convention, Dr. Flagg was zealott!-i and untiring, and generous in his devotion to the Church and all her interests. The kind ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, Vv ACCAMA W 51 friend and f ait!iful physician to his neighbors, he was the con­ siderate warden, ever careful of his duties, and most watchful over the interest of the Parish. Dr. Flagg and his family were the victims of the great storm of October last, his residence on Magnolia Beach being inundated by the sea, and this noble Christ­ tian gentleman with most of his immediate family and several of his near relatives were all drowned by the waves." Dr. Flagg, being secretary of the vestry, kept the old vestry minute book ,vith him. ..~ f ter the storm and the destruction of his home the book ,vas found half buried in the sand, soaked with salt ,vater and torn. The earliest entry was in 1830 and the last in the summer of 1893. Much of it is quite legible and forms an interesting record of the life and vicissitudes of the Parish. Also, unhappily, the communion silver of All Saints Parish was in Dr. Flagg's keeping on Magnolia. It was lost in the destruction of the home and never recovered. The financial loss was very heavy as the crops were cotnpletely destroyed for the season. A second hurricane the following year, 1894, did even more damage further down the coast but inflicted no serious loss on Waccatnaw. In 1906 still another storm tore the roof off the Parish Church. Mr. Guerry resigned in 1904, being succeeded April 9, 1905, by the Rev. Charles Eugene Cabaniss, a native of Huntsville, Alabama, and a graduate of the University of Virginia and of Sewannee. Mr. Cabaniss died in 1907 in Georgetown at the age of sixty-one and his body was buried in All Saints ·Churchyard. In 1908 the Rev. John E. H. Galbraith became rector and served as such for fourteen years. Mr. Galbraith, like Mr. Caba­ niss and Mr. Guerry before him, also acted as rector of Prince Frederick's Church, Peedee, and priest-in-charge of St. Peter's Mission. This arrangement, involving as it did long journeys over sandy roads and by boat on the Waccamaw and Peedee rivers, yet seemed the best that could be done under changed economic conditions. It ,vas during Mr. Gailbraith's time that All Saints Church suffered its greatest physical disasater. On Sunday, December 12, 1915, long after the congregation had gone home, the build­ ing took fire from a defective stove and burned to the ground. The Bishop's chair, the Altar vases and cross, memorials to Col. Ralph Nesbit, were saved, otherwise the loss was complete. · · S2 REBUILDING AND RECOVERY

Under the energetic leadership of Capt. St. Julian 1\1. IJachi­ cotte, Senior Warden, assisted by Mr. Ralph Nesbit and many others, funds ,vere collected for a ne,v Church and it \vas shortly rebuilt, the fourth building on the same site. .A.lthough much smaller, it was planned to closely resemble the old church, except that there is no gallery and the old and valued memorials are gone. The new church was consecrated by Bishop Guerry on December 9, 1917. At this service Archdeacon AA.. R. l\fitchell preached an historical sermon. About 1925, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Norris of Philadelphia and Ruther£ordton, N. C., hought "Litchfield" plantation, the old home of the Tuckers and became permanent residents. Dr. Norris, ,vho was a distinguished physician, came to Waccama ,v upon his retirement but soon found himself called upon to attend the people of the con1munity, there being no nearer physician than Georgetown. So he resun1ed his practice and for the rest of his life ministered to the people, white and colored. He \\tith the assistance of some of his friends, erected a small hospital for the negroes, which he operated for some years. 1'his family were devotedly attached to the Church, Dr. Norris being for a long time a vestrytnan. They presented a very handson1e Italian marble font to the Church in 1ne1nory of their little son Charles; also, they built the ornan1ental brick \Vall around the property and gave the handson1e iron g-ate at the entrance to the churr.h­ vard. An old disused slave rhapel long stood on ''Cedar Grove" plantation, a place \vhich had belonged to the Hasel1's. The lanads. this move t\,·ire a year seemed unnecessary. and in 1934 the h111l

The eastern shore of Waccama\v is bordered with low-lying sandy islands. At the lower end, North Island, then DuBordieu Island, next Pawley's Island, above it Magnolia Beach, stretching to the Horry county line. ;\long the whole length is a broad and beautiful strand, free uf treacherous currents and underto,v, and one of the safest beaches on the coast. (Jf these islands, Pawley's is by far the best known. lt has been a sun1mer resort since the early days of the last century. On the lower half of the Island behind the high sand dunes, surrounded by dense growth of water oak, cassina, n1ock orange, tamarisk and cedar, are old summer residences, some of then1 n1ore than a hundred years old. Sturdily built of hand-hewn ti1nbers, they have with­ stood the violence of every storn1 in all those years. Half buried in the sand about the middle of the Island lie the tnassive keel and ribs of the big sloop, "Emily," driven ashore in 1863. Across the lo\vtr inlet, on DuBordieu, the surf beats ceaslessly over the boiler of a Confederate blockade runner, wrecked there during the ,var. Since 1930 with the building of the Lafayette steel bridge f ron1 "1-\lderly" plantation to Georgeto,vn, and the running of the Coastal highway down the peninsula, the Island has gro,vn tre- 111endously in population and in popularity, being now built up for the whole length of the beach. The n1odern residences are tightly built and heated so that no,v a nun1ber of f an1ilies spend the year round on the Island. Whatever follows in the life story of i\ll Saints' Church, \Vac­ camaw, is scarcely history, but rather conternporary chronicle. Mr. Galbraith retired in 1922 and vvas succeeded bv the H.ev. J C. W. Boyd who resigne
