Hi all, i am back on the list - I have the McCants Wall Book my cousin Robbie jane wrote in 1982; I have picked up the mantle and enlarged all lines in our family to 25,000 on web site now - have found almost nothing to correct in her original research of our family, just found more. i sent out copies of the McCants Wall book to the NEHS; American Gen in Washington DC and several others abt 2 yrs ago. below is some pertinent info that might help. can anybody add to as all is still hazy. ROYAL or COLONIAL PLATS on LITTLE PEE DEE RIVER Province of South Carolina Contributed by Jo Church Dickerson, 1998. These plats were recorded between 1735 and 1775. Usually, they were surveys for lands subsequently granted to the same individual by the King of England, known now as the Royal or Colonial Plats. Royal Plats Marion County, S.C. _ Victoria Proctor 1998 Marion Co. SC HODGES, John; (another JOHN? or Miss Jesse's John?) plat for 107a in Craven Co; 1771/10/19 0009 003 0017 00021 02 HARRELL, Jacob; (our John's son John m. Phearby HARRELL could this be her family?) plat for 200a in Craven Co; 1772/01/18 0009 003 0015 00307 02 Timeline 1682- Craven county - from the NC line southward to Seewee (Awendaw) Creek - (where is this creek?) 1769 - Judicial Districts Formed: Cheraws - a triangle northwest of Georgetown, bounded by the North Carolina Line, and on the southwest by Lynches River.

I had not tied Francis Hodges data to our line until the Arbruthnot info came out in Sandy's message - possible if we can find some proof. The old cemetery mentioned in Sandy's post may be the Old STANDARD FIELD. Does anyone have any news of this cemetery and a marker being planned for Capt. William STANDARD?
