REBECCA MURROW was born in the Toddville section of Horry County. Her parents, names unknown, were from Georgetown County. In 1833, she married John Vaught.
Rebecca was the mother of nine children. Other than those linked here were: Sarah "Jane" Vaught (1834-1881), who married Benjamin W. Singleton; Caroline M. Vaught (1835-1880), who married John W. Todd; Mary Ann Vaught (1845-1912/13), who married Daniel T. Cartrette; Elizabeth Maria Vaught (1848-1921), who married George Asbury Prince.
"John Vaught and his wife, Rebecca Murrow Vaught are buried in the Buck Creek Baptist Church YARD; not in the cemetery across the road from the church. There being no markers for their graves it cannot be definitely ascertained just exactly where their graves are, in terms of inches. But some "old timers" who knew of the situation, and have been members of the church and community from "way back" remember the fenced-in plot and the rise of the ground over the graves, and have given us the approximate spot. Walter Gore, one of our kinsmen, said he was very familiar with all this.
This spot is about 10 feet beyond the front of the building (auditorium) toward the road. And it is about 25 feet from the right side of the building, AS YOU FACE THE BUILDING. In other words, if you draw a line down that side of the building to the road; and draw another line down the length of the bottom step 25 feet beyond the side of the building you should be on the spot where they are buried. I'm told they are the only ones buried in the churchyard.
The church grew and the need of expansion necessitated the removal of the graveyard. Hence, the present cemetery across the road. For some reason or other, unknown to me, the remains of the abovementioned John and Rebecca Vaught were not removed to the new cemetery. It is said "nature in the raw is seldom mild" so in due course of time erosion took its toll on the fence, and the mounds of earth disappeared, and people walked over the graves, and even parked their vehicles there. As of now, 1981, there is no visible evidence that there was ever a body buried in this spot.
I have thus far been unable to interest anyone in trying to obtain a grave site across the road, in the present cemetery, and put up a marker to the memory of our progenitors. I consider this a shame and disgrace and very much uncalled for, and utterly unnecessary.
But the foregoing will at least serve as a monument to their memory and make it possible for the generations to come to know the burial place of John and Rebecca Murrow Vaught." (--T. Clyde Vaught, grandson of John and Rebecca Murrow Vaught, 1981)
