Gene Welborn writes:

"Abbotts Creek was the first Baptist church in northeast Davidson County.
In 1753, the small group of pioneers who had made their homes on the
headwaters of Abbotts Creek welcomed into their settlement James Younger,
the Baptist preacher, and his wife, Anna, and little daughter, Anna, from
the Welsh Neck Settlement in South Carolina.

"It is believed that Younger was the first Baptist to preach in Piedmont
North Carolina. He was certainly preaching at Abbotts Creek in 1755,
when Sheubal Stearns came to Sandy Creek and when Benjamin Miller came to
Jersey. [ Note: These individuals and events are not known by this
writer. Gene Welborn is presumed to hold this information and their
details. MLW 980905.] Younger was not an ordained minister, so as soon
as he heard of the coming of Sheubal Stearns to Sandy Creek, thirty miles
south, he went at once to get a pastor for Abbotts Creek. There he
enlisted Daniel Marshall, brother-in-law of Stearns, who was ordained in
1756. Marshall came with his wife to give a successful five years of
ministry.

"The organization of Abbotts Creek took place sometime between 1755 and
1758. In June, 1758, three churches--Abbotts Creek, Deep River, and
Sandy Creek--formed themselves into the Sandy Creek Association, which
continues to exist as a missionary Baptist Association. This was the
fourth Baptist association to be organized in America and the first
association in North Carolina.

"The congregation built a log church building in 1756 and met there for
many years. Later they built a larger frame building on a foundation of
native stone.

"In March, 1832, the church, led by the pastor, Ashley Swaim, declared
non-fellowship against the Baptist State Convention, Bible Societies,
Sunday Schools, and all aids to the Baptist State Convention. The vote
was 34 to 11. The minority tried to get the majority to change their
mind, but to no avail.

"Therefore, fifteen members withdrew from the church conference and began
to form themselves into an organized church.

"During this period of church history, the anti-mission forces, being in
the majority, owned most of the churches. In later years, these anti-
mission churches lost membership; and many of them died. They came to be
called 'Hardshells' or 'Primitive' Baptist Churches. At Abbotts Creek,
the majority held the church and burying ground.

"The two divisions worshipped in the same building until April, 1834,
when the minority (pro-missioners) were locked out by the majority
(anti-missioners). The minority soon bought land across the road and
built their own log church and laid out their cemetery. Later, as their
numbers grew, they built a larger frame church.

"Now Abbotts creek Missionary Baptist Church worships in a brick church
building, across the road from the Abbotts Creek Primitive Baptist
Church. Each has its own burial ground containing the remains of many
who have been active in Davidson County's [ Note: Then Rowan County. MLW
980905. ] development.

"Today, both churches co-exist, facing each other. They are commonly
called the Upper (Missionary) Church and Lower (Primitive) Church, simply
because of different elevations of the church building and their
cemeteries. (Early A. Hegecock, Abbotts Creek Township; submitted by his
wife, Mrs. Louallen Hedgecock, [sic] Kindergarten Teacher, Wallburg
School.)

Notes.
History of North Carolina Baptists, by George Washing Pascal, Vol, 1, pp 290-292, states: "In the Abbotts, Creek community, even before the coming of the Separate Baptists, there was a Welsh Baptist preacher who had come by way of the Welsh Neck settlement in South Carolina. His name was James Younger. For us he is little more than a name. But he left a family, among them a daughter Anna, who married James Evans, and died in 1843 at the extreme old age of ninety-seven years, having long served her community as midwife. Younger seems to have been a man of humble native endowments and little education, and yet able by his pious life and earnest exhortations to make his neighbors realize the claims of God and religion in their lives. That he was not an ordained minister is shown by the fact that his aid was not sought in the origination of Daniel Marshall as pastor of Abbott's Creek church a few years later. Though he was not able to preach himself, like Andrew he sought and found one who was abler than he. The fame of the Separates of Sandy Creek had reached his ears, and thither he went. On his return he brought with him that indefatigable missionary pioneer, Daniel Marshall. As a result of the labors of this earnest and fervent evangelist, in which he doubtless had the assistance of his saintly and gifted wife, Mrs. Martha Stearns Marshall, great numbers turned to the Lord." Silas D. McCaslin, p 15.

participant in the American Revolution... signed the Regulator's Advertisement #9 in 1770. He established the Abbot's Creek Baptist Church in Rowan county (now Davidson County near Thomasville, NC). He is cited as being the second pastor of Bear Creek Baptist Church in 1790 @ 70 years old even though he was never ordained as a minister.

Some of my information doesn't quite fit with yours, but here is what I
have. Please let me know if it's helpful:

JAMES5 YOUNGER was born Abt. 1715 in Essex, VA, and died Aft. August 11,
1725 in Chatham County, NC. He married (1) MARTH GLOVER Abt. 1745 in
Chatham County, NC. He married (2) ANNA NASH Abt. 1745 in Chatham County,
NC, daughter of JOHN NASH and ANNA BREWER

REBECCA YOUNGER, b. April 28, 1767, Rowan, NC; m. JAMES WELBORN.

BIRTH: Was not of age in 1732. Older brother Thomas was made guardian of
James in 1732, which according to the terms of Alexander's will means
that James was not seventeen in 1732.

DEEDS: Essex County VA Deed Bk 24, p 207 1747 Mentions "land that James
Younger sold to James Booker in South Farnham Parish. This land was
located on the waters of what is now Piscataway Creek, just a few miles
south of the land of his grandfather, John Mills, which was located on
what is now Mount Landing Creek. No record has been found that James
acquired any land as a result of being next in line as heir after the
death of his brother, John. Apparently this land turned over to James at
some time after 1732 and he apparently disposed of it to James Booker
prior to March 1747.

MILITARY: Accounts with North Carolina, War of Revolution Book C:129 To
James Younger For sundries furnished and cash paid the Militia of North
Carolina Virginia and South Carolina as allowed by the Auditors of
Hillsboro District as per Report 84. (Report No. 84 is undated but Report
No. 83 is dated July, 1783 and Report No. 85 is dated 11 May 1794)

James, the youngest son of Alexander, married Anna Nash. They settled in
Spotsylvania County and are found there as late as 1750. In 1753, James
Younger, the Baptist preacher, was welcomed into the midst of a small
band of settlers in the back country of North Carolina, along with his
wife Anna and a daughter Anna. The settlement was in Rowan County (now
Davidson County) at the headwaters of Abotts Creek. Through his
influence the Abotts Creek Baptist Church was established and since he
was not an ordained minister, he brought in Elder Daniel Marshall from a
nearby congregation to take over.
In 1770, on the eve of the American Revolution, when violence broke out
along the frontier because of the discontent over high taxes and fees and
other grievances, the antagonisms culminated in the organization of the
Regulator Associations. Governor Tryon called out the militia and sent
it to the back county to quell the uprising. A battle at Alamance led to
their total defeat. Some of the leaders were hanged and hundreds took
the oath of allegiance to the government. Many others fled across the
mountains and settled the fertile lands along the Watanga and Holston
Rivers. James was a participant. He and more than 200 others signed
Regulator's Advertisement No. 9 -- a petition to the Governor and Council
for smaller fees for deeds and protest of the 'exactions and extortions'
of several officers. When defeat came, James and 21 others joined in a
petition for clemency, which was evidently granted, for he continued to
purchase land.
In 1773, after the Revolution was ended, he moved to Chatham County, NC,
just southwest of Durham and Chapel Hill. From then not much is known of
him. In 1801, he willed 300 acres of land to his son Thomas and died
sometime prior to 1805.
According to a history of Chatham County, James was appointed pastor of a
Baptist Church located on Bear Creek in 1790. Bear Creek is in the
southwest quadrant of Chatham County.

I cannot recall where I got this date from, but it's obviously incorrect.
