St. Paul's Church Rawdon

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or has a copy that they could email of a book called
"History of St Paul's church 1783-1941" written by fredea Benedict.
this book was written in 1941, so now it is fairly old it's only 11 pages.

also I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this church, I used to go to Sunday school there as a child when the Rev. Thorne was there. But it wasnt until the last few years that i learned it was also the church of my ancestors and i would love to know if their graves were there to visit. would anyone be willing to take photo's?
I would be interested in anyone with the last names "shunamon" or schoenmann , Lively, Bond, Withrow, anyone familiar with this area or Beaverbank for that matter would know the names of the older families and what to look for.

and lastly if you will, in rawdon, just past the old esso station and next to the old red hall, not sure if it still stands, there is a cememtary. dose anyone know what parish that belonged to?

thanks.

Withrow, David, Jacob and John. There were 3 Withrow brothers from South Carolina who were original grantees of Rawdon Twp in the Crown Grant of Aug 3rd, 1784.

David received 250 acres, Jacob received 250 acres and John received 500 acres. (NNS Crown Land Reg.)
The genealogy of the Withrow family is given in Whittier's Notes and he refers to the research on the early members of the family by Dr. J.M. Withrow of Cincinatti in 1898. The family was founded in America by Jacob Withrow who arrived in Virginia from Scotland or Norther Ireland. He later moved to Ninety-Six Dist., SC whee he married and raised a family.
The Loyalist claim of John Withrow, No 580 dated 19 July 1786 gives considerable information on the Withrow family. John Withrow was a native of America. The father settled at Ninety-Six Dist., Sc and he joined the British under General Cunninham and joined them again and went with them on the evacuation of Ninety-Six. The son, John Withrow also joined the BritishUnder Gen. Cunningham. After the Skirmish at Ninety-Six Dist. he was taken a prisoner, kept 5 weeks and released and got home. He joined the British again in Florida and came thence to Charleston, SC. He served the Whole of the war. He was in possession of 100 acres in the right of his wife. He was entitled to 250 acres, 30 acres were clear. His fathe bought them before the war. He was in Possession but lost 6 horses, one was his own and 5 were his father's. They were all left in the country when they went to Charleston, SC. His two brothers intended to divide equally. Adam Fralick, another Rawdon grantee from SC testified regarding this claim stating that he knew the Withrow Plantation, 30 acres, clear, he thought there 250 acres--There was a team of wagon horses and good stock (Second report...Claim 580)
The military records of the Souther Campaign show that Private Jacob Withrow served in Col. Thomas Pearson, Reg., Little River Militia between 7 March and 5 May 1782. (Clark, Vol. 1 pg 306. Col. Pearson was also a Loyalist refugee and one of the original grantees of Rawdon Township.
