History of Columbia Episcopal Church and Early Parish
A fragmentary 19th century account traces the Episcopal Church of Columbia from its 1812 organization by local leaders through its 1814 cornerstone, 1815 completion, and 1813 incorporation. It details early rectors, lay delegates, and 1813 to 1815 conventions, plus fundraising by Gen Wade Hampton and others, and state acts distributing church lots for worship houses.
