I found a little notebook full of notes while "organizing my mess" last weekend. And I stumbled across an interesting item. This is from Cecil O'Dell's "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co., VA", Published by Walsworth Publishing Co., Marceline, MO, 1995: p. 198--On 17 Nov. 1752, James Hayworth (who moved to Virginia in 1739) received a 227-acre Fairfax grant on Great Spring Branch of Back Creek. It was surveyed on 26 April 1751. On 4 August 1755, James and wife Sarah sold 227 acres to Thomas Doster for 60 pounds. James was deceased by 1759 and his wife Sarah moved to BUSH RIVER QUAKER MONTHLY MEETING IN NEWBERRY COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA in 1768. On 10 Oct. 1768, their daughter Jemima and John Wright (son of John--son of James) and Rachel Wright, were married in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Absalom Hayworth was deceased by 2 June 1752 when his will was proved in Frederick County Court with witnesses John Lewis, BENJAMIN INMAN and John Rubel." This is the first connection I have found between the Frederick County, VA Inmans and South Carolina. And I am starting to wonder about a connection between those South Carolina Quaker Inmans and Ezekiel Inman (father of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego). Concerning Frederick County, MD--this is from Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County & Church, Vol. I by Brumbaugh concerning Joshua Inman of Frederick County MD: p. 278 Frederick County Official Poll of Presidential Election 1796--Joshua Inman (Federalist).
