I have recently completed work on my ancestor, James Nicholas Bankson (1794-1847). The research goes back to Anders Bengtsson (1640-1705). More information is on my web site at http://www.mlylewebconnect.com/Bankson%20Web%20Cards/WC_TOC.HTM James Nicholas Bankson and his wife Margaret Swann Bankson settled in Cherokee County around 1840, with their children.
