Notes:

Margaret Costner was a very noble character, and to her is given the credit for our Hoyl family being an outstanding sober family, even at a time when everybody made and sold whiskey. She is quoted as saying daily to her sons: "Every one of you needs all your mother-wit, don't befuddle your brain with whiskey.'' Margaret had a sister, Mary Costner, who m. Philip Rudisill, and lived on what is now known as the ''Black'' home, on the east side of the South Fork River, about half-way between the Hardin Cotton Mills and High Shoals, in what was then Anson County, now Gaston County, North Carolina. This was a large tract of 520 acres, extending eastward across Hoyl's Creek. The land was granted him by the King of England, May 20, 1754. [Philip Rudisill made his will on Aug. 4, 1793 and d. 1794; the witnesses were Jacob Rein (Rign), Jacob Simmerman (usually spelled with a "Z"), and Jacob Shatley.] A brother, Peter Costner, m.

The British Ship, Patience (Sometimes Listed as Paliena) sailed from Rotterdam, Holland with Adam Kastner and 5 children. Nothing is said about a wife. Adam could neither read or write so when the ship's clerk made the entry on the ship's register, He spelled the Name, "Adam Kastner". When Adam took the oath of office, he made his mark "H" after the signature. The ship was under the command of Captain John Brown. Adam was accompanied by his 5 children (There may have been more) and we assume his wife and arrived 16, September 1748 in Pennsylvania.

Adam Costner, or Kastner as the name was originally spelled, was the pioneer of another family coming into this section from the Rhine country of Germany by way of Pennsylvania. After dwelling there awhile, as did many others, they followed the wilderness road south ward. Passing the settlements on the Yadkin, they crossed the Catawba and pressed on through the dense forests of the upper part of the county until they reached the South Fork, which they crossed, and established their home on the west bank of the river, a short distance below where Philadelphia Church stands near Freytag or Friday shoals. In 1753 Jacob Costner, a son of the pioneer, obtained lands from the state by patent. There seems to be no record of a grant to Adam, though he is said to have owned large tracts in this one of the earliest settlements west of the South Fork River. The first Lutheran church in the county, and the second of any faith, was near the Costner settlement. It was known as Kastner's Church, later Philadelphia. The earliest marked grave in the cemetery is that of Adam Costner, who died in 1767.
