Can anyone connect with this: John MIDDLETON b 1797 m Jemima DENTON in 1815 in Haywood Co, NC. John's sister, Charity MIDDLETON b 1798, m Jonas Denton (Jemima's brother) in 1815, Haywood Co, NC. John and Jonas are on the muster rolls together in the War of 1812. Jemima and Jonas' parents were Samuel DENTON and Elizabeth CHASTAIN. Elizabeth's parents were Rev. John CHASTAIN and Mary O'BRIAN of the Pierre CHASTAIN line. Elizabeth's brother, Elijah CHASTAIN, m (1) Ann MIDDLETON (possibly related to John and Charity, she is reported as being born 1778 in TN.) I also have come across a Sarah MIDDLETON who was born 1791 in SC and married, abt 1810, Henry CROSSNOE from NC who was also in the war of 1812. They moved to Perry Co, TN. (where is Perry Co, by the way?) The Chastain data relates that Charity's is the dau of Thomas MIDDLETON. One assumes he is John's father as well as Charity's as their birth dates are too close to be otherwise. I have descending info on my John, but no ancestors. The DENTONS and CHASTAINS came down from VA and purchased land in upper east TN under the Carolina land grant. Then, part of this family settled in Pickens Co, SC (Pendleton). John and Charity's birth place is shown as SC. I do not know from where my Middletons came. ***Familes living in SC, from the 1800 SC (Pendleton) census: DENTONS: John and Sen. Samuel, family 8; Samuel, family 7 CHASTEEN(CHASTAIN): John and Stephen, family 164; Benjamin and John, family 148 MIDDLETON: Elizabeth (widowed), John and Richard, family 46; Thomas, family 7 Does anyone know of a possible connection between Deborah HORRY and Thomas MIDDLETON? I am trying to find info on these MIDDLETONS, if you can help, please contact me at either: lkwebster@mindspring.com or lkwebster@hotmail.com Thanks, Lynda
