ANGLICAN RECORDS AND CHURCH HISTORIES
During the colonial period, the Anglican Church was the established church in South Carolina, and the Vestry was as much a political body as a religious one. The wardens and commissioners were responsible for the roads, the poor, orphans, voting and collecting taxes in addition to their church duties. Old Marlborough was administered by the Parish of Saint David.

QUAKER (SOCIETY OF FRIENDS)
Monthly Meetings (MM) for our area:
CARVER'S CREEK: Located in Bladen County; meetings held from 1746-1797; no records held at Guilford, not indexed in Hinshaw's
GUM SWAMP: Located on Gum Swamp near the Marlboro-Dillon line and the North Carlina border. May have existed before 1750 when this area was disputed by the two states; meetings for worship were still being held here about 1830. (All records for this meeting are lost.)
LITTLE'S CREEK: Located near Pee Dee River at Little's Creek just a short distance into North
Carolina in the area disputed by the two states. Members lived in both North & South Carolina.PEE DEE: Existed as early as 1740. A small meeting apparently under the care of many other meetings over time... Carver's Creek MM, Piney Grove MM. One of the locations of this Meeting was probably in Marlboro County midway between the Great Pee Dee River and Three Creeks (a variant name for Blenheim, SC), where several large Quaker families lived.
PINEY GROVE: Located in Marlboro Co., Monthly Meeting established in 1801 and laid down (closed) in 1815, and members transferred to Back Creek (Randolph Co., NC) Monthly meeting in 1816. Record holdings exist and are available on microfilm, but they were not indexed in Hinshaw's.
J.A.W. Thomas, in his "History of Marlboro County", states that Pine Grove, ultimately a Methodist church, was originally built by the Quakers. When the Quakers left the area on
account of slavery and migrated to the Northwest (Indiana), the house was left unoccupied and
to be used as a place of worship by other denominations.You can find helpful information on Friends records and published resources at
Friends Historical Collection, Hege Library, Guilford College. Be sure to explore the site thoroughly.
Guilford has a very helpful page on
Using Hinshaw’s Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy
