She was born in Ireland May 1, 1786, and came to America at the age of 7 years. Her maiden name was Bailey. She married Hugh McClimons, also from Ireland. They belonged to the Seceder Church, but afterwards joined the Presbyterian, and they were the first members at Mt. Tabor, Greenville County. She always love to go to church, even after she became too deaf to hear. Liberty Hill Methodist Protestant Church was founded in 1849 by dissidents from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who were vehemently opposed to slavery. During the tumultuous days of the Civil War, the "Seceder Church," which was looked upon with much suspicion by those loyal to the Confederate cause, ceased to exist. According to the 1937 W.P.A.
