You have a major library. It is wonderful that you have volunteered to share it by your time and efforts. I know that I am very appreciative of you and the many others like you who are helping me to document my family history. Since you asked, my 4th ggrandfather John Baugh and his wife Rosannah Waters were in Laurens County, SC from at least 1785 until about 1800 when they relocated to Kentucky. According to my calculations they should have married about 1770 but I have never been able to locate documentation of that fact. It's also possible my 3rd ggrandfather, Philemon Baugh married Mary "Polly" Norris in Laurens, SC about 1795. Could you at your conveinience check your references #8, 122 through 129, 299, 303, and 360? The only references I have been able to identify any of them in is Baptist Church histories (Turkey Creek, Poplar Spring, Raeburns Creek) and the 1790 census for Laurens Co. Rosannah and her family came to SC sometime after 1760. I don't know when John got there or from where although some reseachers claim he was born in England about 1743, but where he immigrated, when and where he was located until 1785 are still mysteries to me. Many of their children claimed to! have been born in NC. Thank you again for your assistance. Jack
