Hi, Herb- I'm confused as to how your post pertains to Pennsylvania genealogical research. If there is a connection please let us know what that might be. If the post doesn't pertain to Pennsylvania, then it doesn't belong on this list. Thanks for your clarification in this matter.

Sent: Monday, May 26, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: Hopewell, Home of General Andrew Pickens - Update, etc Dear People Concerned for Hopewell, historic home of General Andrew Pickens, 5/24/2008 I'm going to first make some inputs as to my understanding on Hopewell and Clemson University. Hopewell as best I can determine from SC Archives records online came into Andrew Picken's possession by a SC land Grant in 1784 (for his Revolution War Services). In 1785 he started building Hopewell where he lived for a number of years. Depending upon research from others he seemed to have let his son Ezekiel live in the home next and later his son Andrew Pickens Jr. (a Governor of SC) lived there. It passed through a number of hands until sometime in the 1950s when Clemson acquired the land as best I can determine through the federal land grants to Universities (some 27,000+ acres to Clemson from poor upstate SC land owners.) From others data Clemson let various people live in the home with what appears to be minimal or no maintenance. In a 1930 picture Hopewell had two dark shutters adjacent to each window. In 1972 the picture of Hopewell showed they had been removed and not replaced the shutters, however the hangers are still there in place today next to the windows. A historic marker is on route 149 about 0.7 mile SW from route 22 (Old Stone Church Rd.). On the west side of the marker (#39-4) there is an acknowledgement of Hopewell as the home of General Andrew Pickens South from the marker. On the East side of the marker is the acknowledgement of the Hopewell Treaty with the Cherokee Indians. At some time in the past the home has been placed on the National Register of Historical Homes which requires the homes to be maintained by law (as I have been told). However there is no plaque attached to the side of the front door as I am familiar with. Tom Clemson left in his will his land and direction to start a college. However about this time frame Upstate SC Farmers were petitioning the SC assembly to provide a College to educate their Children. In 1892 this act was passed by the SC Assembly and apparently the state funding for Clemson College was started in 1893. Therefore in my estimation the SC Taxpayers have mainly over the years footed the bills for the infrastructure called Clemson University today. Also note in SC today there is a continuing funding bill that provides for salaries, maintenance, up keep and any other continuing item necessary to support any institution. It of course is the option of the receiver as to where and how the money is spent in regard to preventive maintenance. In April of 2008 Ann Sheriff published an article on Hopewell and General Andrew Pickens in the Old Pendleton District (SCGS) Newsletter. When I saw it and read it I decided to visit Hopewell as I had not been there in years. I'm a native of the Lebanon Community near Pendleton and live about 3 miles from Hopewell. When I went to visit the home I could not believe what I saw. The paint was peeling off from the Clap board, the front porch and nearly everywhere on the home siding, there were large holes in the clapboard (in particular one about 2 inches wide by 12 inches long next to the middle second story window), the front porch structure had large cracks and hole in it, the porch boards were loose and buckled, the foundation had multitudes of grout missing and bricks missing plus the stone had not been repaired, a window on the second story SW corner had what looked like a place for an air conditioner in it and was left open to the rain, the gutter over the entrance to the "large beautiful fireplace in the basement- quote from Old Pendleton Commission report on Hopewell" had a rusted out gutter hanging down from the eaves, the rear kitchen chimney had kinks in the bricks and mortar was missing all over the foundation, the screens over the window to the kitchen was rotted out, rough cuts outs or rot was prevalent in a lot of the clap board, the back door kitchen steps of wood was pitched to one side with the right side buried into the ground, two windows on the North side had air conditioners mounted in them, there is a nine pane glass window to the basement open about six inches with three panes of glass broken out, and in general a home which it was more than evident that no one really cared for it or had done any preventive maintenance in some time. (By the way I have pictures of the above and more.) To top it off no one even cared to keep the grass cut. (Note of recent (5/2008) the entire grass surrounding the state has been mowed for a change.) In addition there are three out building which have some paint on the front side but none on the rear just bare boards and rot (One would think there is some type of deception going on here.). Some type of structure which looks like a weather station is in the front yard, a gas tank with two pumps is in the side yard with a metal structural building and two shelters which house construction equipment and farm equipment apparently owned by Clemson's Agriculture Engineering Department. When I got home from the visit to Hopewell I decided to try and see if I could get some help in finding out who was responsible for allowing Hopewell to rot as well as to find out who could be approached to see that some repair and maintenance was done. I do genealogical research as a hobby and manage the Hendricks DNA Project nationwide. So I posted what I had found to the web to numerous sites and people who should be concerned. I almost immediately got a reply from the Golden Corner Website (the genealogical center piece for Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Co., SC). It appears Clemson had been approached in 2000 about why the slave quarters had been bulldozed at Hopewell and about the location of a number of slave graves (This is a cemetery project for Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Co., SC). Within the reply from Clemson University, President James Barker, said he had no money for repair to Hopewell. From the record apparently nothing had been done since 2000 in maintaining Hopewell. (Later a contact with the Palmetto Trust I found out that the state of disrepair was well known to them also.) On 5/2/2008 a reporter with the Independent mail stated in an electronic mail article that Will Hiott at Clemson University was studying the restoration of Hopewell. However I continued to post this information and also to the e-mail address of the two secretaries of the Board of Trustees of Clemson University. I also wrote a letter to Bill Hendrix, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Clemson University. To this day I have never got a single word from any of them including Will Hiott. I started contacting state people, Mr. Stroup of the SC Archives who is responsible for restoration of SC Historic Sites, the Governor of SC, our US Senators, and Representatives and finally SC State Senator Larry Martin of Pickens (who is getting involved and has brought in Senator Alexander of Oconee). Finally the Pickens Co. Historical Society made an inquiry as to what was going on. It seems they were not aware of the sad state of repair of Hopewell. Too many people have put their trust in government to do what is responsible. Anyway I continued from about the first of April to visit and look at Hopewell each day. Now remember we have been told by Liz Carey that Will Hiott is studying the renovation of Hopewell. On 4/21/2008 a Cherry Picker shows up at Hopewell. Paint is now being scraped. I watch each day what is going on. One day all the paint drapes are in place after about 10 days and 5 gallon buckets of paint appear. I post to some of my over 50 sites what is happening, saying and asking why repairs to all the rot and holes are not being made. The tarps come down and scraping continues and holes start being filled with epoxy putty, the air conditioners have been removed after I complained that how could anyone fix windows with the units in place, the SW second story window gets the lower pane replaced to keep out the rain and some grout in a hap hazard manner is put into some of the bricks at various pint around the foundation, etc. The paint scraping keeps going on and the epoxy filler begins being placed in cracks in rotting boards, the basement window with the broken panes are boarded up, without complete removal of the paint, repainting of Hopewell begins. At this time I have been forwarding all this to people who have a need to know including a reporter at the Independent mail. Then I get an e-mail from the Independent mail report telling me that Will Hiott has contacted me. No he has not. Then I am told that Will Hiott is going to spend $2 Million on the renovation of Hopewell. I ask simply if this is true does the right hand at Clemson University know what the left hand is doing? If you have plans to renovate something why partially scrape paint, fill holes with epoxy putty, board up windows, replace panes, paint everything and then say the above? To date about two coats of paint have been applied to Hopewell, nothing done to the outbuilding and what I call cosmetic repair made to Hopewell. The beautiful fireplace in the basement has been made to disappear entirely with the boarding up of windows. So I ask the question shall we believe Clemson University that they are really going to maintain and prevent further damage to Hopewell? Why is this an issue? The Golden Corner website has images along with OPD, SCGS along with many others who have records both audio and photographic on many other sites around Clemson University (including the bull dozed slave quarters at Hopewell) that mark historic events that have been left to go into ruin and are getting there. If you live in the Pendleton area you know the story that when Clemson University acquired land from Hartwell now called the Simpson Experimental Station, from the Federal Governments reimbursement for Hartwell Lake land, that Col R. W. Simpson's home was allowed to rot and was bulldozed. A Historic marker along the side of the road is all that is left of the place. Also if you lived near Joe Douthit wonderful late 1800s home (Lebanon Road)which is on the Simpson Experimental Station and has been occupied since 1965 by some Clemson University person you will find it is being let to go into extreme rot without any maintenance as well as the manager's home. In the eyes of the local people Clemson University does not have a good reputation for taking care of things outside the immediate campus. You have to just look at the Clemson building along route 149 and you see rusting roofs, rotting structures, rust stains, etc in the buildings, apparently there is no program of preventive maintenance. When you look at the money spent on the Sports facilities, the immaculate care of them, you wonder is anything important to Clemson University about recognizing and maintaining our SC Heritage? Clemson University's reputation to me is in question as to showing their true concern and intent and making public what they are going to do with a method and control to insure that SC Historic property is maintained and keep in a state that it will be insured that it is preserved for future SC generations to better understand their SC Heritage. To me the only hope I see is for Pickens County Historical Society to couple with Senators Larry Martin Pickens and Senator Alexander, Oconee so that something constructive and open to the public will be done to Hopewell to honor our greatest Upstate Hero General Andrew Pickens.

Hi, Lori: You're quite welcome. I suspect that many census enumerators simply wrote the surname as they thought it was spelled. Regarding the Drake surname, I haven't been able to find any that seem to be of a possible age to be Sarah's parents in Washington Co. Sorry. Good luck with your search!

Good Morning Debra, Thank you my dear Jeni Friend, For my Memorial Day present, just like my Pennsylvania friends to come through for me, you are terrific ! And I see my Grandpa & Grandma ALBERT P HUSTON & ALBERTA ELNA HUSTON. Wonderful ! ! ! ! I see in the census they have also spelled the last name as Hustan & Houston, That has been a huge hurdle to get through for I have HUSTON on the paternal side & HOUSTON on the maternal side, and in between the mix & twix, they have both spelled the last names differently, and opposite ? One more question ? ? ? Do you see the DRAKES in that census Pat Drake in Ind. ask me if I knew who were the parents of SARAH DRAKE, m/o ELIZA HURLEY, married to WILLIAM HUSTON? And I had to tell her that I have only gotten as far as their names with no other data. Have Fun & Sunny days this Memorial week-end...................... In gratitude & thank you for lending to me a gentle hand in my search................ CARPE DIEM, Lori : ) in Arizona formally from Washington, PA> In a message dated 5/25/2008 4:13:39 A.M.

Hello All, I have added the final pages to the book "Third Report Pennsylvania Historical Commission 1922". It is available at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com You can click on the link on the index page to jump to the start of the most recently added section.

I have not had any response/comment to my request however that could be because the link was incorrect or that no-one has any comment to make!. The link has now been changed and is now: http://files.usgwarchives.org/pa/chester/land/andrews-g1.txt http://files.usgwarchives.org/pa/philadelphia/land/andrews-g1.txt You may find the letter difficult to read as little attention was given to consistent spelling in 1775. The gist of it is that, somehow, 200 'overplused' acres of land got swallowed up by others who acquired it by one means or another (foul or fair I do not know). 300 years is a long time ago and there was a war with the British soon after which could have had some influence on matters. Please see transcript of letters regarding land at Naamans Creek and also a city lott in Philadelphia from William Penn. I was hoping someone would be able to throw some light on events. Cyndie Enflinger has yet to publish other items which are to be added on the subject of this distant relation of ours whose birthdate is unknown and whose date and place of death is also unknown (to us). Evidence of his presence in Chester County/Pennsylvania is, as yet, undiscovered. I found reference to tax being paid on 5 horses etc. by someone with this name but was not sure of the authenticity. He managed to have 2 wives - the first called Elizabeth and the second 'Mary'. I don't think any of the 8 children were born in PA as their births are registered in Wiltshire, England. If anyone has information relating to proof that he did actually live at Naaman's Creek at his 250+ estate that he named Spi-cop", please let us know on this side of the 'pond',.. Robin Andrews

>From 1910 census, Nicholas and Susanna are living as head of household, with John and Lottie, and child John Jr as living with them. Do you have this info? The census tells where Nicholas and Susanna were born, the birthplace of their parents, and same for the rest of the family. Lottie was born in Pennsylania, her parents were both born in Switzerland/Germany. The census tells us that John and Lottie have been married for two years at this point....so abt 1908 marriage can be inferred. Nicholas was born in France, as were both his parents. Susanna was born in Germany, as were both her parents. John is listed as being born in Germany. Hope this helps Karen

The result is that when you click to view the original image, you will see the correct front side of the draft card, but the back of the previous soldier’s card. Ancestry is aware of this problem, and is working to correct this issue.
