The signpost erected by the state of South Carolina at Bullock Creek Presbyterian Church in
York County reads:
1). Under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Alexander, pastor 1774-1801, this church, organized in 1769,
was a Whig stronghold during the Revolution. Three hundred yards west is the site of one of the
earliest academies in upper South Carolina, established in 1787 by Dr. Alexander. One and one-half
miles southwest is the site of Dr. Alexander's home, used as a hospital during the American Revolution.”
[the Dr. Joseph Alexander mentioned (1735-1809) was the eldest son of Theophilus and Catherine Wallace Alexander, former pastor of Sugaw Creek Presbyterian Church and one of the founders of Queens College in Charlotte NC; this sign is written all in capital letters]
