Notes

On August 28, 1754, a group of Congregationalists who had migrated from the Northeast (New England) to Dorchester, South Carolina in 1696, and then to the Midway District of Georgia in 1752, established the Midway Society and Church in a log meetinghouse. Congregationalism was a form of Protestantism in which each church is administered autonomously by its members. Despite the Congregationalist nature of the Church, it had strong ties to Presbyterianism. All of its ministers were Presbyterian, and its offshoot churches later became Presbyterian churches.

Origins

according to "Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation" by Harry Wright Newman, page 142: Susannah Duvall daughter of Lewis and Martha Ridgley Duvall was baptized September 14 1707....

"Within a reasonable time his daughters joined him in South Carolina and there he died in 1724, leaving his three daughters co-heiresses to his estate. Susannah, the second daughter, died unmarried within a few years, and Martha, the senior daughter, about 1730 returned to her native Maryland home in order to dock the entail of "Middle Plantation", but was apparently unsuccessful. She made her home with her step-grandfather, the Rev. Mr. Henderson, in Prince Georges County.

On February 6, 1732/3, a commission was appointed to define the boundaries or division of "Middle Plantation" belonging to Mistress Martha Duvall and Anne Wey wife of Joseph Wey of South Carolina, daughters and co-heiresses of Lewis Duvall, deceased.

During her last illness Martha Duvall was nursed by Elizabeth Wells, daughter of Nathan Wells, to whom she on October 20, 1739, shortly before her death deeded her a negro child called Peg "inasmuch as Elizabeth hath carefully attended to me in my sickness". The deed of gift was witnessed by Jacob Henderson and Elizabeth Denune.

She dated her will May 2, 1739, by Benjamin Jacob, Mordecai Jacob, and John Thomson. She bequeathed personally to Martha the wife of Thomas Wells, and to her cousins - Mary Whitehead, Anne Carrick and Elizabeth Denune. The residue of her estate was willed to her sister, Ann Way, of South Carolina. The Rev. Jacob Henderson was named as executor."
