    The Members of the Will Town  Presbyterian Congregation to The Court of Chancery On Petition
    
      
      
         Willtown or New London, now an abandoned site on the Edisto River, was the first settlement after Charleston which developed into anything more than a hamlet. The Presbyterian Church there is believed to have been founded by the Rev.' Archibald Stobo. (SCHGM, X, 20; George Howe, History of the Presbyterian Church in South Carolina, 1870, I, 146.)
    
   On hearing Counsel in Behalf of the Petitioners It is Ordered that the said Petition be dismissed, and that the Petitioners may be at Liberty to proceed by Bill should they think proper so to do.
