Near Clinton — amid fields and pasture—stands one of the Piedmont area’s oldest ex amples of these indomitable lit tle Rocks of Faith. It is Duncan’s Creek Presby terian Church, founded in 1764 within a few years after the first settlement in Laurens county. The church survives today after 190 years, with its old cemetery bearing testimony to the historic times that have swirled about it. Although it has never claim ed more than 60 members at any one period, the church has nur tured numerous churches now served intermittently for 50 much larger, including Clinton’s First Presbyterian church with a membership of nearly 600. Duncan’s Creek Church had been founded 11 years when the American colonists ignited the fires of revolution in 1775. It was established within a few years after an influx of settlers from Virginia and Pennsylvania had established a settlement in Laurens county at the juncture of Duncan’s creek and the En- oree river in 1752. Shortly after the revolution, church members became in volved in an interned dispute over whether to use Rouse’s or Watts’ version of the Psalms and over one of its ministers. The eventual outcome of this strife was the secession of two groups from the main body, one of which formed a Baptist and the other a Methodist group. And as communities and towns, through the years, gerw up within the general vicinity of Duncan’s creek, it served as “mother church” to several oth ers: Old Duncan’s Creek church is well steeped in tradition. In its cemetery are tombstones commemorating sons who fought in the Revolutionary War and the Confederate War. And with in the church hangs a marble tablet in memory of the men of that congregation who served in the Revolution. These 16 soldiers whose names Located off the Clinton-Whit mire highway some six miles from Clinton, the church finds most of its present congregation now living in Clinton and mak ing the trip out for services. The nearest family is three-mlies dis tant. Even sc, the church still op ens its doors two Sundays each month, and the faithful follow ers assemble. Some still listed on the rolls have long since moved to other sections of the country but never have trans ferred mambershp ibecause of sentment of family tradition.
