Review of History of the Midway Congreqational Church, Liberty County, Georgia, by James Stacy, Pastor Presbyterian Church, Newnan, Georgia.
This volume is interesting to the student of South Carolina history, because the founders of Midway and the Midway Congregational Church moved there from Dorchester, South Carolina, and their moving broke up that once flourishing village about which so many interesting traditions cling like the vines that cover the old brick remains of the Congregational church that once flourished there, and which was founded by New England people, from Dorchester, Mass. - Ed.

In the January number of this Magazine, page 94, (Review History of Midway Congregational Church) "the old brick remains of the Congregational Church that once flourished" at Dorchester were referred to. The ruin right at Dorchester is that of the church of St. George's Parish, of the Church of England, as then established in South Carolina, and was built under Act of Assembly 1717. (See Dalcho's Church History.) The Congregational Church was not in Dorchester. The Independent or Congregational Church, called the "White Meeting," was over a mile away.
