BLACK MINGO PRESBYTERIAN MEETING HOUSE In 1742, this Dissenter congregation of the "Presbyterian Persuasion... of Scotland" received 100 pounds currency from Wm. Swinton for a new building. Also in 1742, William Thompson Jr. willed the Dissenters 100 pounds and 4 acres, and their Brick Meeting House was soon built. By 1824, the church had dissolved. One of the earliest Dissenter congregations in South Carolina north of the Santee River was located about two miles south of here. Its chruch building had been completed by 1727, when the Rev. Thomas Morrit, Episcopal minister of Charleston, visited the area.ERECTED BY THREE RIVERS HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1982
