MARY AND DONNA, Did I post this info on Josiah before? He was in Richmond Co., NC according to what I posted the other day. Now, here is something else I have had for a couple of years. The Skippers and the Quicks were intermarried several times and as you can see they along with Josiah are mentioned in this Brigman statement. Joy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To: euzelia@aol.com Hi, Joy: I'm not researching the Skippers, however I have a deed reference on one across the state line in Marlboro SC. This Skipper (Scipper) was in a land transaction with one of my Brigmans who lived in Richmond. Sorry, but that's all I know. Hope it helps. Cheers, Terri Brigman England Note: The deed does say "Scipper" -1/24/1824: Joshua BRIGMAN of Richmond, NC to Josiah Scipper. 300 a, west of Crooked Creek, being part of land conveyed to Thos Quick Sr by Aquilla Quick Sr, Temperance Brigman is wife of Joshua Brigman Know all men by these presents that I Joshua BRIGMAN of the State of North Carolina and County of Richmond for and in consideration of the Sum of one hundred and sixty dollars well and duly paid to me by Josiah Scipper of the state of South Carolina and district of Marlborough the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged do hereby grant sell and convey to the said ****Josiah Scipper**** his heirs and assigns a certain tract and parcel of land containing three hundred acres lying and being in the state of South Carolina on the west side of Crooked Creek joining Stephen Quick's and Mark Turners land beginning at a sake in said Quicks line and runs North 22 degrees west 45 chains to a stake three pine pointers thence north 84 degrees east 71 chains to the run of Crooked Creek then south 22 degrees east down said run 45 chains to the mouth of a small chain?

The books cover 1679-1790 and 1701-1786. Happy hunting!!
