BTW, as a Sam, I am jealous. We Sams have no passenger list. Sam & his dad John came after the revolution so there are no passenger lists that I know of. There are Naturalization Records for other of my SC ancestors arriving in SC from the UK in the 1700s after the Revolution, but I don't think John or Samuel bothered to get Naturalized. As I recall, my Cherry arrived in 1785 from North Ireland & got Naturalized in Chester Co. SC. The pre-revolution passenger lists are really just list of people in the Council Journals who are getting grants (warrants for survey), having just arrived on such & such ship. Chester County's Citizenship Petitions start 1802 & were in Clerk of Court. Fairfield County's Citizenship Petitions begin in 1806 and are also in Clerk of Court. This is according to the book "A Guide to Local Gov. Records in the SC Archives" by the staff of said archives. -- James W.
