• Notes

  The present Purity Presbyterian Church in Chester began as Bull Run Church, and may have been organized as early as 1770. Although the church moved into town in 1839, the term Old Purity continues in common usage and usually refers to the ancient cemetery at the former site. This hallowed piece of ground, said to be the geo-graphical center of the county, is located near where Peden's Bridge Road joins the main highway. Page 10 of "Roster of Names of Persons Buried in Old Purity Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Chester, S.C.", 1980, Chester Co. Genealogical Society, lists under Row 9: "BOYD Elizabeth, Died November 24, 1864 in the 78th year of her age".
