Good Morning. Recently while in SC I bought a book because it contained one interesting name - Benjamin Maddock. Naturalization Records Federal Courts of SC 1790-1906 A Companion to Film M1183 Federal Records Compiled by Edith Greisser hjeg@inetgenesis.com This film consisting of four handwritten volumes are part of the records of District Courts of the United States, Record Group 21 and are housed in the Archives Branch of the Federal Archives and Record Center in Atlanta, GA. There are 6 columns..... Name: Benjamin Maddock Age: 47y Nation: Stockholm, Sweden Residence: blank Occupation: mariner Admitted: January 17, 1807 From Edith's instructions I take this to be the date Benjamin became a citizen. Does not say how long he may have been here. Neither does she say which of the 4 volumes has Benjamin's name. There is a list of Lawyers and Judges in SC and I'm assuming the names of new citizens were gleaned from the records of these Lawyers and Judges of SC. Edith says some names were easy to read and some not but reminded us that the names were copied once from the records and then by her, so mistakes could be present. If we could put Benjamin with a particular court by the name of the Judge, then we would know where he lived. Anyone who has this Benjamin already in place of residence? Terry
