ANN MOORE DARGAN (DURGAN)


In the book The Baptist Church at Cashie 1770-1970,
by Raymond Hargus Taylor, there is reference to Anne
Moore who married Jeremiah Dargan, one of the
persons credited with the start of Cashie Baptist
Church, Windsor, NC.    Mr. Taylor quotes from A
Concise History of the Kehukee Baptist Association,
by Lemuel Burkitt and Jesse Read.  Lemuel Burkitt
was a personal friend of Jeremiah Dargan and writes
that Elder Jeremiah Dargan was converted and
baptized in South Carolina due to the influence of
Anne Moore of Bertie County, North Carolina, whom he
met and married while she was visiting in South
Carolina. Mr. Taylor states that the traditional
date for Elder Jeremiah Dargan's arrival in Bertie
County and the founding of the church at Cashie is
1770.  The earliest stated meeting place was the
home of a Mr. Sowell (or Sewell).
