Lots of people who served in the Rev. War, aren't in the records. The records that survived are only partial according to the librarian at the DAR library in Washington. Also, the only records they have are from descendants who have applied for membership in the DAR. I was able to "honor" three soldiers who fought in the Rev. War by digging into courthouse and archive records. Two for me, and one for my husband. I'm proud that they are now recognized as patriots, and are now in the Patriot Index. No, I don't have my Posey honored yet, but I expect to find it someday. The DAR, SAR and the Mormons don't have all the answers, so if you can't find it there, keep on searching. Sorry, off the soapbox now.

Hi, I mainly research the Posey line as it relates to my Dennis line. There where several marriages and a common migration to AL between the 2 lines. I would like to determine if the Francis Posey you mention and the one I have are the same. The Francis Posey I have moved to Autauga County, Al in 1826 from Montgomery Co., Al. He was thought to have been in Jasper Co., Ga before that. I am tring to determine if the Nathan Posey I find in tax records for Jones Co., Ga just south of Jasper Co., Ga is the Nathaniel Posey who was in Autauga Co., Al. in 1822. Francis bought land very close to him in 1826. The Nathan I mention was paying taxes in Jones Co. for a lot in Pulanski Co., Ga.

I came across this reference to a deed in Edgefield Co., SC. Has anyone traced the Odom connection to the Posey family? And how is Matilda Posey related to Martha Odom, besides being her granddaughter <g>? Other grandchildren of Martha Odom listed in deeds are Patsey Willis and Stanmore Watson.

I am sure that all of you know that what was Orangeburgh dist in 1790 contained all or parts of the current counties of Lexington, Orangeburgh, Aiken, Barnwell, Allendale, etc. If you will go to the SC Genweg Page and click on Old Districts you will see the development of the counties. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/ Lots of interesting reading there. The fact that Orangeburg bordered The Old 96 District and the area that became known as Edgefield could explain the deeds in Edgefield.

Rebecca, Below you will find the first official records I have found of Nehemiah Posey in Montgomery Co. AL In some old chattel mortgages of Montgomery Co., AL was found in 1848 a mortgage from Nehemiah Posey to James Tucker for one bale of cotton. In 1855 from Nehemiah Posey and William Posey to David Garner for $60.00,one wagon, two horses, three cows and yearlings. Also in 1858 a mortgage from Nehemiah and William Posey to David Garner and Peter Hufham for $56.54, one gray horse, one two-horse wagon, one cow and calf entire crop of corn. In 1860 Nehemiah Posey, do agree to and dispose of a certain mare mule to William Rushton. I have just begun to research this man, however I have found this in reference to his son in law, Moses Rushton, who married Sarah his daughter. This was found in old church records here in Montgomery Co. AL just a few miles away from where Richard Posey had settled. Moses Rushton, to whom the deed for the church property was made, settled in this community in 1840, on a tract of land which was given him by US Government for service in the War of 1812. Given a land warrant for 160 acres anywhere within the public domain, he set out from home in Orangeburg district SC and entered this amount in what is now the Pisgah community, clearing trees for a space to build his home and begin his farm. Along with the knowledge that Sarah and Moses were married in Orangeburg District Aiken Co., SC on Feb 2, 1817. This might help to narrow down who is who.

My Richard Posey here in Montgomery lived near a Nehemiah Posey and had transactions on a regular bases with other of my family members. Richard was born in SC on November 5, 1770.

A question: How many Nehemiah Poseys are there? In these few messages I count at least 3 Nehemiah Poseys. I haven't as yet examined any of the originals of these citations and that would probably answer my question, but in the meantime, has anyone already worked on this? First, from Helen's message of May 12, 2000 Nehemiah and Richard Posey were in Montgomery Co., AL in 1830 and 1840 censuses and in later censuses give their birthplaces as SC. Second, from the 1830 Census CD (see my earlier message 5/23/2000) Nehemiah and Mark Posey in Orangeburg Co., SC in 1830. Third, from Cheryl Hemingway's message (5/23/2000) Nehemiah Posey, for whom the application of letters of administration of his estate was dated 18 Nov 1820. (See the Milledgeville Newspaper, Milledgeville GA, 28 Nov 1820). Cheryl said "This Nehemiah Posey was a son of Francis Posey of Orangeburg District/County, SC. He moved to Pulaski Co., GA where he died. " Fourth, again from Cheryl Hemingway's message (5/23/2000) Nehemiah Posey mrd. Anna Trantham, 1771, in Chatham Co., GA.

> Do you know if this Nehemiah had two sons named Nehemiah Jr and Richard? Helen, I can't say for sure because the wills and probate records from Pulaski County are so incomplete. For instance, Benjamin Posey's probate file is empty. The county clerk thinks that someone must have removed documents that were never returned. However, he had a son who sued his estate (my 3rd ggf), so we have some documentation of Benjamin's family. I don't have many documents that reference Nehemiah Posey. Here is what I do have: From the Milledgeville Newspaper, Milledgeville GA, 28 Nov 1820: Georgia, Pulaski County. Whereas Amey Posey, Benjamin Posey, Humphrey Posey, apply for letters of administration on the estate of Nehemiah Posey, deceased. Given under my hand, this 18th November, 1820 (signed) Robert Moreland, C.C.O. Strangely enough, there is a record of the following marriage that was entered into the official record in Pulaski Co., GA - it looks like it was put there after many years: Nehemiah Posey mrd. Anna Trantham, 1771, in Chatham Co., GA. I hope this helps. I'm going to be leaving for SLC on Monday, and I do plan to spend some time at the Family History Library working in Pulaski GA records. I'll report back to you when I return - after June 6th. -Cheryl Hemingway

Helen, I don't know if this is the same Nehemiah Posey, but I have a census reference showing a Nehemiah Posey still in Orangeburg Co., SC in 1830 (see below). I am interested in Nehemiah Posey because he (one of them?) is involved in a land transaction in Edgefield Co., SC, (1 February 1797) in which my ancestor Zachariah Posey is one of the witnesses. Nehemiah Posey, yeoman, is "of Orangeburgh".
