A scan of the first page of the 1st covenant book
The old Groomesville Baptist Church was first built in 1812 and located at the ruins of the St. James Goose Creek Chapel of Ease. It was at that site from 1812 until 1888. It was moved to the present site in 1888 and a new covenant book was started. The first covenant book is in the Charleston Museum and the pages will be shown here soon. The second Covenant book has been located, preserved by our cousin Theresa Mizzell, and it has now been placed in the Charleston Museum archives along with the first book and other papers of Samuel Lynes 1776 and his son George Lynes 1807 - 1870.
The list of the burials at this little church is found here:

This is the Pulpit Bible from Groomesville. We can presume there were others.
