Notes:

Rev. Joseph REESE (1) was born about 1732 in Duck Creek, Kent Co., DE. Another source says he was born in 1736, Duckcreek, Kent Co., PA (later DE). He was ordained in Feb 1768 in Congaree, Richland Co., SC. He died on 5 Mar 1795 in Congaree, Richland Co., SC.

The following is from Bill Smith:
He was a in 1776 in Minister, Baptist Chaplin, Rev.War. He Date of Will on 27 Apr 1792 in Rec. Book D p.254, Richland Co. SC, State Archives, Box 26, PK627 Richland Co. SC. He died on 5 Mar 1795 in Columbia, Richland Co., SC.2 He has reference number 2142.

Joseph REESE, b.1732-36 in Kent County, province of Pennsylvania, now Delaware, d. March 5, 1795 in Richland County, South Carolina. He moved with his parents to the Congaree Section of South Carolina in 1745. He married Ann Reynolds (so Edwards); was converted from the Anglican Church and ordained a minister of the Baptist Church in 1768. Rev. Joseph REESE, Chaplain, appears in a list of men from Richland County territory who rendered Revolutionary service, in Capt. Wm. Goodwyn's unit, according to the records in the office of Secretary of the South Carolina Historical Commission.

Rev. Joseph REESE married (1) in 1753 Ann REYNOLDS, issue 9 children; (2) Sarah THOMAS of Liberty County, Georgia, no children. Sarah had been married twice before marrying Joseph, (1) John HOPKINS b. 1730 in Virginia; issue 7 children; (2) Drury WYCHE, his second marriage, whose will was probate January 18, 1785 in Probate Court, Camden, South Carolina, will book A, pg.253.

Joseph Reese is said in his youthful years to have been very gay and fond of pleasure. His conversion therefore, which took place in 1760, under the ministry of Rev. Philip Mulky, was remarkable and drew much attention. Soon after his conversion he was baptized by Rev. Mulky and began to preach. His ordination was for some reason deferred to February, 1768, when it was performed by Messrs. Oliver Hart and Evan Pugh. He became the first pastor of the Congaree Baptist Church, which was established in 1765 about three miles from his home. He was very infirm during the last ten years of his life, sometimes being carried to the church on his bed. His last attendance at the church was about twelve months before his death.

"Mr. Reese was a man," says, Benedict, General History of the Baptist Denomination in America, Boston 1813, "of good understanding and warm affections. His piety, it is believed, was never called into question. He had but little education, though he made improvements after he began to preach; but he had a large fund of evangelical and experimental knowledge. His natural eloquence and command of the passions of his hearers, were extraordinary. He was both a Boanerges, and a son of consolation. His voice and his countenance are said to have affected his hearers like enchantment. In the early part of his ministry he met with much Opposition, but with surprising success."
Rev. Reese had the plat of his land recorded in 1767 between Hay's Mill Creek and Pincushion Swamp, where his home was near the Southern Railway and not far from Lykesland.

From land Records of Richland County S. C.:
Rees, Joseph (300; December 30, 1767). Between Hay's Mill Creek and a Swamp called Pincushion. (150; August 15,
1771). Cedar Creek Martin Stager, Sebastian Stadler.

The will of Rev. Joseph REESE is filed in Probate Court, Columbia, South Carolina (will book C--Folios 107,108,109) was recorded April 6, 1795; lists wife Sarah (Thomas) Reese and nine children by his first wife. Rev. Reese died on March 5, 1795 at the age of sixty-three, in Richland County, South Carolina, at his home. He was interred in the family cemetery on his estate, Pincushion (Pennocrucion), about 12 miles east of Columbia, South Carolina, on the Garner Ferry Road. In 1940 this
place was owned by Mr. Rawles.

The Rev. Joseph Reese was the first pastor of the Congaree Baptist Church, organized on November 30, 1765 about three miles from Josephs' home of Pincushion near Pincushion swamp.

Arthur Family Notes for Jemima Arthur who married 1st Peter Claywell Jurney and 2nd William S. Holland

The Arthur Family of Cullybackey, Ireland

And Bedford County, Virginia

The Dreen Road in Antrim County, Cullybackey township, leads to Arthur Cottage, ancestral home of Chester Alan Arthur, 21st President of the USA.

Cullybackey township, County Antrim, Ireland:
“The County Antrim is home to an area of glens in addition to such pastoral towns as Cullybackey. Stones and artifacts dating back to the Stone Age are found here, indicating that ancestors of present Cullybackey residents could very well have lived here. Some of the local names, for example the glen Glenravel, which means the glen of the berries, and St. Patrick's well, indicate ties to Celtic lifestyle and St. Patrick.

The name Cullybackey has become so Anglicised as to render its interpretation difficult, sufficient of the original spelling remains to indicate that it is composed of two Irish words. There are at least two possible interpretations."Cully" – a derivative of "Coill" – a woodland, and "Backey" a derivative of "Beith" – a Birch Tree, thus rendering the meaning of the name as "The Woodland of the Birch Trees". There are numerous birch trees in the area and they form part of the original flora of the neighborhood.

Alternatively, "Cully" from "Coole", a corner and "Backey" from "Bac" a spade; "The Corner of the Spades". There is a tradition that a forge for the manufacture of shods (plates for wooden spades) formerly stood on the site of the Cuningham Memorial Church. The spade maker obtained his fuel from the surrounding forest and his profession was highly regarded in the community. No doubt his forge by the riverside, because of its warmth and shelter, was the rendezvous of the locals and its name "Coolebac", the Corner of the Spades, became applied to the cluster of habitations build up around it.
