They are the same family. They probably added an "E" due to the confusion over the slaves owned by the family. At any rate J.R.'s father was Joshua without an "e" and settled in Belleville. J.R. left around 1854 headed for Pine Apple in Wilcox County.

An identification card in the billfold indicated that his name was Philip A. Winder of East St. Louis, MO A coroner's inquest was held by Dr. E.A. Price and it was decided that the man most probably came to his death by falling off a moving train during the night. the identification card gave an address in Richmond, CA, to notify in case of accident and Sheriff W. D. Lewis sent a wire to the address shortly after the body was discovered, but as The courant goes to press, no reply has been received. The body is being held at Cope Funeral Home where it will be examined by Dr. Nelson I. Grubbs, state toxicologist of Mobile, for any evidence of foul play, though thus far, no such evidence has developed."

And hath thereunto a Plat thereof annexed, representing the same, certified by John Bremar Deputy Surveyour-General on 12th August 1772 <Above Document Copied 2 August 2000 from a Photocopy of the Original Document on File at SC Archives> Order No. 4918 (no date provided) Grant to Wm Witherinton of 200 Acres Reference SC Archives, Royal Grants Volume 3-N, Page 95 DARLINGTON, SC DEEDS: WILLIAM WITHERINGTON, SR, Grantor to Caleb Owen, Grantee, Book A, Page 250. Date: Feb. 20, 1804 - 200 acres on both sides of Little Beaver Dam Note: This second deed of Feb. 20, 1804 is apparently the same 200 acre parcel of land identified in the above '1772 Grant' by King George III to William Witherinton. ***** Email Message from John L. Andrews of the ODDGS Hartsville, Darlington CO, SC on 6/20/2000 Witherington's Mill Pond is now called Clyde Mill Pond. It is located right at Gum Branch Baptist Church. The "old Camden Road" runs by the mill pond. A stream that begins in Chesterfield County called Beaverdam was dammed up to create the mill pond. I ran across a reference on a death certificate last week of a cemetery named "Beaverdam Cemetery." I'm sure it refers to the same area. I looked for this cemetery five or six years ago, but never could find it. It existed as late as the 1940's. I wonder if it began as a family burying ground for the Witheringtons and neighborhood families. Do you have anything in your records about such a cemetery? Darlington and Chesterfield Counties were both on the North side of Lynches Creek and Kershaw and Sumter Counties were on the South side of Lynches Creek. The North fork of the creek was the boundary between Chesterfield and Kershaw Counties. Two branches of the creek converged right at the Chesterfield - Darlington line (where the old Camden Road crossed over the creek at Tiller's Ferry). From that point on, Lynches Creek formed the boundary between Darlington and Sumter Counties. Little Beaver Dam is a tributary (in Chesterfield County) of Black Creek, as well as ANOTHER creek known as Big Beaver Dam. This last mentioned creek is a separate and different creek from the Beaver Dam that Witherington's Mill Pond was located on near Gum Branch Church. The "Chesterfield" Big Beaver Dam is located five miles up Black Creek from the Chesterfield-Darlington County Line. Little Beaver Dam is another 2.5 miles up Black Creek from Big Beaver Dam Creek. There is a 1806 (or so) map of the Darlington - Chesterfield County line area from Lynches Creek to the head of Cedar Creek. The map was made to establish the County line. Along the boundary are listed the various land owners who live on either side of the line. "Witherington" is listed just inside the county line near the "Darlington" Beaver Dam. Just across the line in Chesterfield County is "King." John Andrews, Old Darlington District Chapter, SCGS PO Box 175, Hartsville, SC 29551-0175 __________________ In a publication "South Carolina Baptist 1670- 1805" by Leah Townsend the following was found in the research of Virginia Witherington of Arkadelphia, AR (now deceased): WILLIAM WITHERINGTON Lower Fork of Lynches Creek Church was probably the branch meeting house built by First Lynches Creek Church in 1770 on Thomas Rouse's land near Little Lynches Creek located in Chesterfield District about 16 or 17 miles before Upper Fork of Lynches Creeks. Messrs. Evan Pugh and Edmund Botsford helped to constitute the church in 1789, and it united with the Charleston Association in the same year under the care of Rev. Joshua Palmer. By 1796, the church had a meeting place called Boggy Swamp where it gathered most of the time, with occasional meetings in 1797 at Witherington's Mill at Lower Fork of Lynches Creek. The church records in 1798 are incomplete. There was bitter dissension among church members during that year. Bro. Wm Witherington refused to commune, said he did not consider himself one of the church and also declared that if the land had been his over which Rev. Bonds had opened a path to the meeting house, he would "check him with the law". Fellowship was withdrawn from Mr. Witherington. Statistics of Lower Fork of Lynches Creek Church 1789-1804 show that the Messenger to the Association for the years 1793, 1794, and again in 1803 was William Witherington.

(1)Zachariah Martin served in the War of 1812 in Capt. Hawthorne's Co., LA Militia. He married Rebecca Hay in St. Landry Parish, LA, on Sept. 27, 1815. He died in Refugio Co., TX in 1844. Children: Amos, Henry, Olin, Peggy, Sally, and Mary. In 1830, a (2) Zachariah Martin, age 20-30, was living in St. Landry Parish, LA. In 1840, a (3) Zachariah Martin, age 20-30, was living in Ouachita (pronounced Wash-uh-taw) Parish, LA. Also in Ouachita Parish were Seneca Martin age 20-30 and James Martin age 30-40. Are these 3 Zachariah Martins related? My Martin ancestor was Susannah Martin (1802-1842) who married John Carroll, a War of 1812 veteran. They lived in Jackson Parish, LA, and are buried there. Susannah Martin Carroll named her first son Zachariah. Susannah's daughter Mary Carroll Sutton named a son Senica M. Sutton (could the M. stand for Martin, after the Senica Martin in Ouachita Parish)? I noticed that the Carrolls and Martins in Ouachita Parish all lived near each other. This is probably too many questions for one query!
