Notes

The Presbyterian Church of Monroeville, AL, has retained some of the records of the now defunct Bell's Landing Pres Ch; A history written 1932, excerpt. "John McCants and his brother Thomas came from South Carolina from Darlington District about the year 1800 and settled in the lower edge of Wilcox County.

At this time John McCants had a son, Thomas, who was about four years of age, destined later to be a Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church for years. Near their home on or before the year 1816 a hewn log house was built for a church in which they worshiped until about 1819.

A discussion arose as to the ownership of the ground on which the log church was erected, originally settled by Thomas McCants, Sr., which was not legally entered by him. A neighbor, Peter McArthur, procured government titles to the property and thus brought on a dispute. As a result Thomas withdrew from the Presbyterian Church and united with the Methodists.

He rec'd from his father, Thomas, in his Will 17 Jun 1791, a negro man named DERRY with his wife HANNAH and half of the tract of land I now live on.

(he may be the Thomas N. McCants wit on the will of 1823 for his step-mother Ann Reid. Her son James McCants named a son Thomas Newton McCants, but abt 12 yrs old in 1823, so he couldn't be the wit.)

"The first record found of Thomas McCants in Alabama was the 1820 Census for Wilcox County where he was listed with 11 slaves. He apparently moved to Alabama about January 1819 when he brought 10 slaves from South Carolina into Georgia."

Research required: Perhaps another Thomas McCants: South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Vol. 3, The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Pages 268-270. 28 Mar. 1789. Robert Tate of Newbury County, S. C., conveys to Thomas McCants of Abbeville County, state aforesaid, for £.20 sterling, part of a certain tract of land in Ninety-Six District on Hencoop Creek, waters of Savannah River, originally granted to Robert Tate containing 640 acres, of which the said Thomas M'Cants is to have 240 acres … along John Maxwell's line.
