Johns Island Presbyterian Church

It's People and Its Community from Colonial Beginnings to the Twenty-First Century

Author: Charles E. Raynal, PhD

This church is one of the oldest continuously active congregations of any denomination in North America.  I found several things in this book:

1. W.S. Whaley, MD was elected in 1859 as a new elder.
2. June 12, 1870 the congregation met at the home or William S. Whaley in Legareville due to not having a church in which to meet after the war.
3. Dr. and Mrs. William S. Whaley and his daughters moved to Athens, GA in 1885.  Dr. Whaley had been a ruling elder since Feb 1859.
4. Words about the deaths of Ephraim Mikell Seabrook and John L. Seabrook ( EM son)
