In his journal of 1823, William Bartell mentions the following family names : Altma n, Ard, Belin, Bartell, Brown , Burkette , .Coleman, Cox, Eaddy, Godda rd , Hanna, Harrell, Johnson, McDaniel , Parsons, Poston, Powell, P rosser, Singletary, Smith, Stone, and others , such as Knox , for instance, no longer familiar in the area . Westward migrations , separating families or removing entire families, were not infrequent. Most of the families named above were related by marriage. Visiting , quilting parties, log rollings, deer drives, house a nd barn raisings drew families together. ''Frolics' ' at which dancing and drinking were the main entertainment relieved the tedium a nd auster ity of pioneer life. By the early 1830's Methodism had become a n active influence - and both dancing and drinking were discouraged by community religious leaders . and condemned by the circuit riders who traveled through holding meetings, usually at Dottson Stone's. Bar tell mentions attending religious services at Muddy Creek, probably a t the Haselden plantation , and other meetings at Dottson Stone's. The rise of Methodism in the area has not been fully explored and needs further research. Indiantown Presbyterian Church held a few families . The Presbyterian Church at Aimwell closed its doors about 1822, but the cemetery continued in use. Bartell writes on Jan. 15, 1823, that he ''went to Pee Dee River to burial of Captain Daniel Stone at Aim well meeting house." The life style of the planters were oriented toward river, swamp and the forested land.

The men fished every day possible. The catches were cleaned and preserved in brine. Bartell, who had mar ried Senea, daughter of Austin and E lizabeth Stone , had r emarkable ingenuity and industriousness attributable perhaps to his German ancestry . He does all the things that other fa rmers do in order to survive. But he has other skills. He makes fiddles . Music was essentia l to existence. He r ep a irs clocks, watches , guns, and farm bells.

Long since gone are the doctor and drug store, the hotel, the railroad depot, and the stores. The only store building left has been emptied of its merchandise. In the front corner stands a small room which houses the Post Office, recently renovated with new panelling and complete with colorful sheer curtain panels at the windows. The United States flag flys above the flag pole all day, but the Post Office is only open three hours a day, from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 3:30 to 4:36 in the afternoon. There are no boxes for rent, since the building is only open during these hours and customers would not have access to their boxes, but all other services are available that can be had at the most . sophisticated Post Office.

Y. EADDY Is the secon~ of a three-part 00 the history of the Prospect Nullifiers had no showing with Capt. . William Johnson, the Haseldens and the Coxes. The Lake voting precinct of large territory and population was over- · fought in the Revolution to lhe rights they had. struggled so 1nedly to gain; and having given · dren a fair and fertile place on Carolina soil, the earliest settlers t began to die out before the the century. Eaddy, Sr. died between 1790 , leaving two sons, James, Jr. Samuel, who became the 'tors of the large family of in this section. ' Parsons died about 1802. The ol hiS wife is unknown. His married among the Prospect y," his daughter Elizabeth ' g the wife of James Powell. Parsons married Celia Stone; married William Poston ; and married James McDaniel. The Parsons sons were David and ' Stone died about 1818, leaving · children, several of whom leading roles in the developing ity and church. Hanna, born 1759, lived to the age of 83. He was elected a elder of the Indiantown rian Church in 1819, and he and Uy remained active in that ation until the Nullification cf 1832. Samuel McGill describes the climate of the period. ''At Creek, the Union cause was in the ascendancy, and the BETSY BARR'S GRAVE ... Born Into Slavery whelmingly in the strength of the Nullifiers. The upper and middle portions, by far the most populous, were controlled by the leaders, A. I. Graham and Samuel E. Graham, Cockfields, McAlisters, Matthews, Rodgers and Sauls; while the lower and eastern portion was controlled by such Union men as Mr. James Graham, Singletarys and Browns; and along Lynches Creek by Stones, Eaddys and Carters." He goes on to note that the Union cause found advocates in every voting precinct in Williamsburg District and that in many of them there were divisions of sentiment within families, especially among those of Revolutionary stock. It was an era of violence, and men commonly settled their differences with their fists if not in still more violent ways . McGill describes such a battle, " ... the greatest fisticuff fight within the memory of the oldest citizens occurred at the Indiantown muster field just before the Nullification excitement ·between James Cooper and young Hugh Hanna, both residents of the Lake section. Cooper having cursed old Mr. Hugh Hanna, it was resented by his eldest son , who declared he would not , allow an old man to be cursed. These two young men were of equally large stature and proportionate limbs and strength . They met, stripped and entered the ring and soon were at their best, first one and then the other on the ground, made so by heavy blows. During this bloody fight, · Col. David D. Wilson, then captain of the Indiantown Militia , walked away several times and returned to ask the bystanders to part them. The fight still continuing, he again came up, and in piteous tones he begged, 'Do men, for eri God Sake, part them.' When last the combantants were on the ground, Hanna was alone able to crawl upon Cooper, who said, 'Take him off,' in a whisper so low that his second had to put his ear to Cooper's mouth to catch his words ." This disagreement caused part of Hugh Hanna's family to withdraw from the Presbyterian Chruch, and they later united with Prospect Methodist Church. In the years of peace after the American Revolution, the sons of the original settlers enlarged their land holdings into the thousands of acres and further secured their homesteads. The plantations were almost entirely selfsufficient. Grain- corn, wheat, oats, barley, and rice--were planted for home use. Livestock roamed the swamps. Cattle furnished leather for shoes and saddles. Sheep were raised for wool and cotton for cloth. Hogs were raised for meat and lard. Half-wild fowl were the com mon chickens, ducks, turkeys and guineas. They were plucked for feathers that went into feather beds, and their eggs were used incookery or saved for " setting. " The swamps and woods were full of deer, squirrels, rabbits and birds, and the men were excellent shots. After the introduction of cotton as a " money " crop, the farmers invested in more slaves. The original settlers had owned few, the records showing that owning more than three or four slaves marked a man of affluence. By 1850 slaves holdings had increased. Thomas Eaddy owned 77 slaves, perhaps a record for this particular place. A sufficient measure of security had been achieved by 1835 to enable the families to combine resources to organize and build a church. Although Indiantown Presbyterian Church was accessible if not convenient, Presbyterianism, already ruling elsewhere in Williamsburg, failed to appeal to the Lynches Creek populace. Bishop Francis Asbury had earlier found acceptance by Austin Stone, and circuit riders had visited the area regularly. Methodism gained a following along the lower reaches of Lynches Creek, with the first church organized and built at Muddy Creek about 1822. Prospect followed about 12 years later. Methodist churches were also organized and built at Trinity (the Johnsonville area), and Old Johnsonville. The Prospect Methodist Church, simply constructed in the typical meeting house style of the period, stood on land given by James Eaddy III and his mother, the former Elizabeth McDaniel, daughter of James McDaniel and Isabella Parsons, "to William Johnson, ·James · snow, Edeard D. Eaddy, Briley H. Stone and James H. Stone, trustees." Briley Ham Stone and James H. Stone were the grandsons of Austin and Elizabeth Stone. Edward D. Eaddy was the son of James Eaddy, Jr . and Mary Drake. Early Prospecf Methodist church records have vanished, if they ever existed at all. However, records from 1853 have been saved, listing not only membership, but reflecting the manners and morals of the times. This church was a powerful force. Members were "turned out" or warned for such a vague offense as · ''walking ungodly," while supporting or recommending a bar room at Johnsonville, stealing a plow, bastardly and drunkenness were dealt with by expulsion. The community florished and the church grew. From a meager enrollment of 29 males and 57 females in 1853, membership increased to 59 males and 68 females in 1860. The 1853 membership is of interest, indicating the close family relationships of the period. Listed as Class Leaders are Briley Ham Stone and Ai.istin Stone III. Other male members were James H. Stone, Jasper Bartell, Randall McDaniel, George W. Carter, John D. Eaddy, John Stone, Clark Eaddy, Jacob Adeison, James Ard, William J .

Contrary to popular belief, illiteracy was not universal, and schools, while peripatetic and of short duration, were devoted to the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic. Maps of the preCivil War period show many one-room schools. Near the southeastern ''run'' of Lynches Creek were schools at Red Hill (Johnsonville), Paisley Swamp, and Deep Creek. Lt. William Hasleden of the Civil War is known to have taught at Red Hill. John Gotea in an unpublished manuscript writes of having James Stone as his teacher on Paisley Swamp. Robert James Eaddy, son of Edward D. Eaddy and Mary Bartell, left his Deep Creek roll of 1849 on which he lists the following pupils; Abel Foxworth, William Bartell, Charlotte Cox, Peter Atkinson, W. J. Atlman, John Altman, J. 'C ollins, D. L. Powell, Andrew Poston, John Prosser, James Harrington, W. Patterson, S. Cox, Silvester Bartell, William H. Stone, and A. Powell. Robert James Eaddy was also the author of a mathematics textbook. Dr. McGill mentions a school of some distinction above the Indiantown church on the Paisley road that was taught .by John Hanna, son of Hugh Hanna. McGill adds that ''Mr. Hanna was a young man of much promise and died a short time after his engagement with the .. :sch~' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
