THE OLD STONE CHURCH
Transcript-Extract of the Earliest Session Book of Hopewell Congregation.
The Presbyterian Chh at Pendleton old Court House was organized in the year of our Lord 1790, by the name of the Hopewell (Keowee) Presbyterian Society .*
Ministers .- The Rev. Thomas Reese D. D. was Installed Pastor of the Society in 1792 & died 1796, aged 54 years. He was buried in the old burying-place, & a stone with in- scription marks the spot. He was a graduate of Princeton College, 1768. He pursued his studies with an ardour which injured his health & abridged his life. He left behind him the character of a distinguished scholar, an able preacher & an eminently pious man.
The Rev. Montgomery, D. D., supplied the So- ciety two years after the death of Dr. Reese.
The Rev. James McElhenney was Installed Pastor of the Society in 1801, & died Oct. 4, 1812, aged 44. He was buried in the old burying-place, & a slab with an inscription marks the spot.
His mind was strong & lucid rather than brilliant. His was the eloquence of profound nervous reasoning rather than of fancy & of passion. Sometimes it was persuasion of the most touching tenderness. His pulpit performances always acceptable & solemn varied in excellence when compared with themselves.
The Rev. Murphy, son-in-law to the preceeding & who was his assistant two or three years, died Sept., 1812. He was buried in the old burying-place near Mr. McElhenny, but the spot has no designation.
*"The name of this church several years ago was changed from Hope- well (Keowee) to Hopewell (Pendleton), and at the meeting of the Presbytery of South Carolina at Richland Church, in September, 1882, the Hopewell was dropped and the name now is simply Pendleton.
CARVER RANDALL, Clerk of Session."
Copied from "Session Book of Hopewell (Keo.) Church, commenced May, 1852. T. L. McBryde, Pastor; E. B. Benson, Sydney Cherry, Elam Sharpe, I. E. Smith, Elders."

THE OLD STONE CHURCH
The Rev. James Hillhouse received an invitation to the pastoral care of the Society, March, 1816, & was ordained April, 1817. He removed to Alabama Nov., 1822. His labours were blessed by a very considerable accession of members to the Chh.
The Rev. Anthony W. Ross received an invitation to the pastoral care of the Society, March, 1823. He resigned his pastoral charge in August, 1827.
The Rev. Aaron Foster received an invitation to the pas- toral care of the Society, March, 1828.
The Clergymen previous to Mr. Hilhouse divided their time equally between Pendleton & Carmel. Mr. H - & Ross were employed by Pendleton Society two-thirds of the time.
Houses of Worship .- The first house was erected 1790 of logs, about 80 rods east of the late Ezekiel Pickens' dwelling, on the north side of the road. The spot is now crown over with trees.
The second House is a durable & commodious building of rock, finished in 1800. As this building was not central for the Society, & as it was two miles from the village, the Society erected a framed building near the village in 1824, to which they removed as their place of worship.
Elders .- Gen. Andrew Pickens, Gen. Robert Anderson & Dickson were chosen elders when the chh was organized.
George Reese & John Harris were elected in 1803. Crosby W. Miller, 1815. Josius D. Gaillard, Elam Sharp & John B. Hammond were elected Elders 1821.
Charles Story was admitted from the Chh of Black River as an Elder of Pendleton Chh in 1818.
Rev. A. Foster resigned his charge in May, 1832, and went to the North, having preached exclusively to the Hope- well congregation from March, 1828, with a salary at the rates of $600 pr year. His preaching was acceptable; his sermons have much originality & great variety.
William Walker elected Elder in 1831.

Members in some instances have left the chh by removals without letters of dismission, & in some instances by with- drawing from communion without the notice or permission of the chh. Who are now members of the chh is known only by oral report, no chh records having been preserved up to this date March 16, 1830.
