> ... (2) a bride is supposed to get a marriage license in her home county. I don't think the above is or was ever true, although I've been told the same thing. My paternal great-grandparents, Solomon WILLIAMSON and Clarissa CALHOUN, were married in Emanuel County in 1878. Although he was from Emanuel County, she was from Tarrytown, Montgomery County. My own parents married in 1939, and neither of them was from the county in which they married. Also, what about people who ran away to get married (eloped)? Olivia

Carol, Thanks for this information on the Faircloth family. By the way, the Belle Lumpkin who is "boarding" with John J. Faircloth in 1900 is just weeks away from marrying Charlie Ivison Hall. They are my grandparents. I mention this because we often see people enumerated as "boarder" in the Census and wonder why.

Olivia wrote: "I have Sarah Ann HALL McLENDON as the daughter of John Kitchen HALL and Elizabeth Margaret RICH, John Kitchen as the son of Henry Houston Hall." I think this is correct and that's why I asked the question about J. A. McLendon. I'm trying to prove it or at least support it more fully. Here are my thoughts... There is a Henry H. Hall in Burke Co in 1830 and 1840. He's not there in 1850 but there is a Fereby Hall whom I've pretty well established as his probable widow and almost certainly as my ggggm. Their children are James J. Hall, John K. Hall, Henry Houston Hall (my gggf and husband of Sarah Rich), Augustus Hall and a daughter or daughter-in-law Elizabeth Hall who had children Amanda, Henry and James Kitchen/Kinchen Hall. According to Ben Edwards who got his information from Eathel Rich Sconyers Curry (recently deceased but a serious researcher who grew up in the Rich settlement and who knew much about the Rich family): John K. Hall (son of Fereby Hall) married Margie Rich and they had children Sarah and Malatha. On 11 Sep 1854 in Emanuel County a John N. or H. Hall married Elizabeth Rich. This marriage is prior to the birth of Sarah and Malatha so it appears that these are their parents. From a postcard in my possession I know Malatha married a Roebuck and lived near Millen in the early 1900s (would like to know more about her). In 1875 in Jefferson County John A. McClendon married Sarah A. Hall. I've always suspected this was Malatha's sister but was scared of it for two reasons (1) Sarah Hall is a very common name (2) a bride is supposed to get a marriage license in her home county. However, the mention of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McLendon as relatives in the obituary for Elmo Delaney has assured me I'm on the right track. I welcome other thoughts or information. Delores

In the Emanuel county 1850 census the following is written: " Visit 239: SMITH, White R. 32; Rachael 24; Martha 6; John 5; Jourdain 3; Sarah 1; Martha 60, South Carolina; STROUD, John 24; PRICE, James H. 20" John Stroud was my g-g-grandfather. Do you have any information as to why he was listed at Mr. Smith's residence in 1850? I do know his father died when he and his siblings were young teens, and may have lived with this family possibly until his marriage in 1852. Any family stories, any information you might have at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info, Anita. The Fields are just as bad as the Faircloths. All named James, John, or Henry. :-) John Clark and James Clifford were twin brothers. Their little sister is Virginia Mae. Their mom died shortly after the birth of Mae. James Clifford is my husband's grandfather - now deceased. I just heard recently that Clark and Clifford were raised by a James Faircloth - but we weren't sure which one. Now I'm pretty sure it's John James (James John) Faircloth who, along with his wife Georgia Hall Faircloth, also raised their mother, Annie Mae Delaney after the early death of her mother. Georgia is the sister of Annie's mother, Emma Hall. Childless themselves, they helped raise two generations of their kin. I wonder why, even after Clark, Clifford, and Mae's father remarried they were still living with their great uncle and great aunt. All three are dead now. However, I'll soon be visiting their younger half-brother. He might be able to clue me in on that situation a bit more. As there is 17 years between the twins and their half-brother, he may not remember anything about their living arrangements! Thank you again - this is one more piece of the puzzle!

I have that John A. McClendon married Sarah Ann Hall (b 1857). I don't have the names of any of their children - but Sarah was the granddaughter of Henry Houston Hall, Sr. so they would be cousins.
