My preliminary research reveals that LEAVELL is a relatively uncommon name. There is mention of a Col. John R. Leavell on p. 533 of Chapman's ANNALS OF NEWBERRY (1892, 1974): "The other negro who was implicated in the murder [of Davis Waters] was purchased by Mr. John Taylor, who then owend and lived on the place now [1892?] owned by Col. John R. Leavell on Bush River." Please add Col. John R. Leavell to the puzzle-piece list. Thanks!

The "Shorter Catechism" is the Presbyterian equilivalent to our Luther's Catechism. (I am Lutheran , by the way). Just this evening I emailed a contact at Bush River Baptist Church. I am determined to find John and thought maybe he is buried with Elizabeth since I think she was a member there. Is that correct? I copied a lot of your data from Roots Web. There was some I didn't have completely! How wonderful it is to fill in the missing pieces. I don't have very much at all on Joseph and Elizabeth Abernathy Hunter's children. I spent a good deal of time the other night emailing corrections to folks whom I knew had it wrong. I had records to back me up. Someone had John as a soldier in the Rev. and he was not. He's my DAR ancestor and I have the proof there. This addiction just deepens with every new contact and bit of information, doesn't it? I love it!! Warm regards! Cousin Valeria How does it look as far as your trip to the Carolinas? ------=_NextPart_000_d619dc_229fbc65$2ab1da9d--
