        From Diane ... 19 Jun 2001

        It helped me quite a bit, because it mentioned neighbors to ou r Samuel
        Porter. I have copies of his census records including two page s either side
        of him. Plus, I have the probate records for Agnes Crawford, wh ich mentions
        some of the other Lowndesville folks. This group lived near th e David
        Pressley who owned the post office. His daughter, was a witnes s to Agnes
        Crawford, my ancestor, who lived near Samuel Porter. Samuel Por ter's pension
        file mentions Dr. A. B. Arnold.

        From Traditions and History of Anderson County, by Louise Ayer V andiver....

        "Before Anderson county was made Varennes Church and school wer e points of
        interest in Pendleton District. Very early in the history of th e county Rev.
        Thomas Baird established an academy about where Mr. Jule Anderso n's home is,
        and religious services were held in the school, the preacher sta nding on a
        platform and the congregation seated on hewn logs to listen to h im. In 1813
        Rev. Richard Cater had a log house of worship erected near the s chool
        building. Mr. Cater preached at the new church once a month, gi ving the
        other Sundays to Broadway, Good Hope and Roberts. The origina l elders were
        Mr. John Hillhouse, MR. JAMES DOBBINS, Colonel Patrick Norris, a nd Captain
        James Thompson."
