Jimmy Rosemond, Do you know if there are records for Marriages in Laurnes Co., SC in about 1828/30? I would like to check on Leroy H. Hodges and Permelia/??? marriage. They very soon move into Abbeville the Old 96th Dist, but I think they did live in Laurnes when they got married.

I have a definite faux pax in my records regarding this couple. There is a file in the SC GenWeb Archives that lists 4000+ marriages titled "OLD 96 AND ABBEVILLE DISTRICTS, SOUTH CAROLINA - MARRIAGES - 1774-1890". In this file it shows the marriage of Samuel Hill to Elizabeth Betsey Barmore, ostensibly in 1782. A little lower in the same file it shows that William Hodges married Elizabeth Barmore Hill. The year is shown as 83, presumably 1783. While the names appear to be correct, both of these dates now appear to me to be in error. I might add that I found the same record in a book on Old 96 District marriages in one of my forays to the Library of Congress. I would suspect the book is where Paul Sarret got the information he posted on the web. > > I would have to agree with your records that shows that Elizabeth Barmore married a later William Hodges (son of Charles Hodges), and not William Brookes Hodges as I had it in my records. This would agree with the will of John Hill, Sr. which wasn't probated until sometime in the 1800s. I have a copy of the original will which I got at the Abbeville Courthouse, but I'll have to dig it out to get the exact date. However, I do have a transcript of part of it quoted in a later lawsuit by one of John Hill's granddaughters which talks about John's son Samuel being married to Elizabeth Barmore. This document states: > > "Samuel Hill now dead, who left as his only heirs and distributees a widow Elizabeth who has since intermarried with William Hodges and two children, ...". It goes on to say that administration of Samuel Hill's estate was granted to William Barmore. > > FYI, and take this a unproven, a genealogy published on Ancestry.com shows Elizabeth Barmore Hill Hodges to have been born on January 25, 1796 and her parents to be Squire William Barmore b. 1774 in Faquier County, VA and Nancy Dodson b. 1776 in Faquier County, VA.
