    Notes:

    From Pat Bonneau :

    The 1810 Federal Census for Lexington County, SC, lists Rev. Thomas DeLoach. He has three boys under 10. The next male is 45 or over. There are three girls under 10; the next female is 26 to 44 years old. He has one slave. (Source Ancestry.com Online Image 19 of 27.) According to the Pressley-Price family history, Sarah Watkins was his wife during this census. She died in 1818.

    Research in the Baptist Archives at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, shows that Thomas DeLoach, Jr., was a licensed preacher in 1794-97 and 1799-1800. He was an ordained minister from 1802 to 1803. He was a messenger from Cloud's Creek Church at the Baptist Association Meeting on Sept. 12, 1812. He reported 99 members at Cloud's Creek Church. He was also present from the same church at the Dry Creek Meeting on September 19, 1818, when 57 members were reported. (Source of all Furman University references DeLoach, Thomas fl. 1800, Baptist Biographical Folder, Furman University Special Collections. Original report by Ms. Jane G. Flener, Acting Librarian for Ms. Belle Williams of Monetta, SC and was dated September 15, 1950.)

    In 1773, Thomas DeLoach had a survey made on land on the Red Bank and Penn Creek section of Little Saluda. A survey was also made for Thomas DeLoach in the Edgefield District on the Shaw's Creek branch of the South Edisto River in 1825. Plats 14,366. 195, 5. (Source Furman University Special Archives).

    During his time in the Lexington/Orangeburg Counties of South Carolina, he was the minister at Dean Swamp Baptist Church, as mentioned in a book by Ellen P. Chapin (excerpt follows)
    -------
    Dean Swamp Baptist Church is located three miles west of Springfield, S. C., and about one-quarter of a mile off S. C. Highway No. 4.

    "A History of Dean Swamp Baptist Church, 1803 -1903", compiled by Rev. H. L. Baggott, has been preserved. The preface to the booklet reads "Pursuant to an appointment by Bethel Association, a presbytery composed of the following named ministers of the Gospel, Rev. Henry King, Rev. Thomas de Loach, Rev. John Landrum, and Rev. George de Laughter, did on the 5th of November, 1803, organize a church with 31 members called The Baptist Church of Christ on Dean Swamp."

    The Reverend Isaac Levesque was the church's first recorded itinerant preacher. Twenty-one members pledged to pay amounts from one dollar to ten dollars, of which $44 was known to be paid to the minister.

    It is believed that the church received its name from an early Irish immigrant, Patrick Dean. Records do not show when the first church was built. The second church building was erected in 1845.

    On August 23, 1899, the members of Dean Swamp Baptist Church bought, from C. J. Stoman, one acre of land for one dollar. Recorded in Book 28, Page 204, Orangeburg County Clerk of Court's office.

    According to legend, a German immigrant, Frederick Weimer, buried a "chimney cooking kettle" filled with gold in the church yard when he learned that Sherman's army was approaching.

    Thomas married Mary (DeLoach) about 1779 in Edgefield County, , , South Carolina. Mary was born about 1760 in Edgefield County, , , South Carolina; died on 24 Sep 1801 in Edgefield County, , , South Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    From Joseph Earle Steadman, "The DesLoges Family", page 29:
    At about 1779 he married Mary_______ (ca. 1760, ca. 1801), who is said to have
    been a Miss Asbill or a Miss Crawford; however, this writer believes that
    neither of these surnames is correct. Thomas' son Allison DeLoache
    married a granddaughter of Aaron Asbill and his nephew Thomas
    DeLoache married Miss Mary Crawford. Census records of 1790 and
    1800 for Edgefield County, S.C., indicate that the first wife was the
    mother of twelve children, four of whom died in infancy or childhood.
    Eight of these children are named in their father's will.
