Hi Roy, No charge. The dates and places are perfect for me to research - right up my alley so to speak.

Smith To: Dee Thompson Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 5:11 PM Subject: Smith-Cooper Family Ms. Thompson You do not know me. I am asking for help. I live in Texas and I am disabled and homebound. I do most of my research at home on the computer and through books that I can purchase, (1 at a time). My gggrandparents were John and Agness Cooper Smith. John (Jon) was b 1809 in South Carolina and Agness was born 1809 in South Carolina. I know that John fought in the Florida Indian war, and soon after that he moved his family to Georgia. Please tell me where I might find information on their families. Their marriage is as far back as I can get, and other researchers in my family, that is as far as they get. I do not know what county they lived or what happened before or during the Florida Indian war. Thanks in advance for your time. If you have a charge please let me know and I will pay. Thanks again.

Hi Carlene, Of course I remember Cornelius. First, the list is books is definitely not "suggested buys". Those are books that I own. I really don't think that buying any books at this point would be beneficial. Since you're still in the "fishing" stage, I would rather try to narrow the choice of ancestors down and then have you search for books that you KNOW have pertinent information. It's been over a year since we looked for Cornelius and I have more South Carolina references than I did then (plus about forty more that haven't been added to the bibliography list yet). The information below does more to rule out people such as Edward than it does to prove who was the father of Cornelius. Now that I know about Darlington County (District) for the WINGATES I'll try the archives. >From #205 SOUTH CAROLINA WILLS. 1670-1853, OR LATER, Compiled from C.W.A., W.P.A.

I have no name for his parents, siblings or first wife. I read all your postings and have looked at suggested buys but am not sure which ones might help(or not) find info for me in locating (maybe) on this WINGATE. I have a suspicion he was the WINGATE who lost all he had around 1831 in Darlington S.C. as that Cornelius WINGATE is not found there ever again nor is there anything on his wife. it is around this time he is found in Miss. maybe a little after with out looking at my reports. I don't mind buying books from individuals or counties or societies but really do not even have a clue as to where to start on this one. so am hoping you can advise me on which books I might purchase for my search. Thanks so much, Carlene in Texas Carlene Duncan Leatherwood
