Deed, 1754.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51798081

Colonial plat for property upon which Waxhaw Presbyterian Church was founded in Lancaster County, S.C., a site originally believed to lie in Anson County, N.C. This original North Carolina colonial plat documents John Barnet's 599 acres surveyed in 1754. In 1757, Barnet deeded the land to Robert Miller, minister of Waxhaw Church. On 9 March 1758, Miller conveyed from his 599 acre holdings the four and one half acres tract of land on with the Presbyterian Meeting House stood to the trustees of the Congregation of the Waxhaws "for the good will & affection ... & every of their greater advantages & conveniency in attending upon divine worship at all stated or occasional times ... conform[able] to the practice of the Church of Scotland." The original Anson County, N.C., deed was signed by Andrew Pickens as one of the witnesses. Waxhaw is reputed to be the oldest Presbyterian church in upper South Carolina; it had a meeting house in use as early as 1755; the British army burned this church in 1781.
